A POKER FAIRY TALE QUEER CLIMAX OF THE WIND UP JACK POT OF THE GAME. Manir Displayed Wonderful Peevers .f Perception and Analysis. Won the Pool and Saved His Opponent the Amount of the Last Raise. 4*Manxy was one of the best poker players I ever saw. He was a good winner and a good loser. He played Us cards all the time for everything tiley were worth and then some more, and he played & game that was simply insoluble." The board of trade man leaned back in his chair and smiled reminiscently. "Manxy not only had Jjloyle down so t?at he could recite the poker rules sack wa rd and say 'slr' after each "word, but he rose to the higher science .f the game. He made a careful study .f erery man around the board, and he serer played a card but what he darted a keen, sweeping glance at erery play? er and drew his conclusions aa to what taey were about to do. If a player had any little tricks or habits that asserted ?etoselves in spit? of efTorts to repress ft?nu Maury knew them by heart "I will never forget the night he took Garter into camp. Carter was a good, coo), nervy player too. He was an old player and possessed splendid judg? ment. One night we had been playing ser eral hours, and as it was getting to? ward daylight we agreed* to hare one more round of jack pots and then ge home. We had our round of jack pots, tar?e of which Carter won, and then decided on one last consolation jack pot- with no limit but the roof and $5 to-come in. Carter raised the come in to $20, and ererybody dropped out ex? cept Manxy and one other player. Manxy called for three cards, showing that he had only one pair or nothing at ; all; the other man took two cards, indi? cating that he must hare threes of a kind, or else he wouldn't have paid $20 fer "the privilege of playing any longer, ?od Carter stood pat. "That looked bad. Garter had nerer aces known to stand pat on anything bot something that was worth while. He must have had something pretty good to raise the come in to $20, and ais standing pat argued that he either had fours or else a straight or a flush. He had betrayed a nervous start when he first picked up his hand, and lt argued that Le had seen something aw? fully good. Now, Manxy had seen the -start that Carter gave and knew his style of play well enough to argue that Carter had seen something even better tban a straight or a flush, and that was a straight flush, something that comes ?nee in a great, long while in a poker game. In fact, Manxy came to the conclusion that Carter had a straight flush, and the fact of the matter was that a straight flush in spades, king high, was just exactly what Carter had --seen in his five cards when he picked them up. ""Manxy deliberated a long time be? fore he came in with his $20. but he was out $73 or $100 on the game, and as it was the last pot he determined to stand a good bit of money in the hopes of mal ing a recoup. He drew to a pair of tens and caught one more. Manxy started t_ie betting with a $10 bill. The other men dropped out. and Carter saw thc $10 and raised $25. That looked as though . Manxy's surmise -about the straight flush which he thought Carter was holding was .good. He deliberated for some time Then he said: . ? " 'Carter. ' I think and ererybody around here thinks you're got some? thing belter than fours. I was. playing yon for that. But now I'll tell you. Carter, what I'm going t? do. I've no? ticed that your eyesight 1s bad and that tobacco smoke when it is right in front of your face always Interferes for a moment cr two with your vision. Just as you picked up your cards I noticed that you puffed a great cloud of smoke out of your mouth and that the cleud of smoke was in your eyes when you looked at your cards. Now, I beliere that you think you hare a straight flush, but I don't beliere that you read your cards correctly. I am going to de something that may seem to be awfully bad poker, considering the hand I hare, but I am going to play you for your poor eyesight I see your bet of $25 and raise it $25 mon*: on the ground that your eyes deceived you. You'd better study your cards before you see my raise.' "We all waited in breathless silence for a moment, then Carter quietly threw his cards face upward on the table. "'You're right/ he said quietly. 'I thought ? had a spad* straight flush, king high, in my hand. What I thought was a nine of spades was a nine of clubs. I lose.' "-Chicago Tribune. Steer Clear of Sm ?kl a sr ?Tara. "I seldom advise my patients to stop ?noking. because I know it*? a waste; ef breath to do so," remarked a subur? ban physician yesterday. "In many cases I do advise moderation in the use ?of the weed, and when a patient has a weak throat there is one thing that I positively insist upon, and that is that he shall not ride in the smoking cars attached to railroad tr*;ins> Breathing that atmosphere for hr.If an hour will do a man more injury than smoking half a dozen cigars in the open air or in a properly ventilated room that is not crowded with other smoker?. Smoke if you must. I say. but steer clear of smoking cars.'*-Philadelphia Record. There is only om* sword factory In the United States, a Massachusetts concern, and that one has ample capac? ity for supplying the domestic demand for swords. The saber lost its efficiency as a cavalry weapon as far back as the war of the rebellion, and the increased range of rifles has made the sword equally obsolete as an Implement of actual combat. It Is about as danger eus now as a bandmaster's baton and serves much the same purpose.-New Torfe Tribune. The Sword. MICE QUICK TO LEARN. So Say? a Maine Maa TVko Find? Them Interesting Pets. Out on Forest avenue is a mouse fancier whose residence, lest he lose caste with his neighbors, is withheld. In a pen he has half a dozen or so or? dinary field mice. "They are the most sociable pets I ever had," he remarked, "and any one of them will rise to attention as he hears my step approach the pea. I have had these young ones about six months. They don't live long when cooped up, and they will come freely to my hand to eat or drink. Some of them are so tame that they will climb to my shoulder and display not the slightest alarm at being touched. They haven't acquired so much faith in all humanity, however, and have refused to trust any one else so far. "While mice eat a great deal for an animal ao small ,when food ls abun? dant, they can exist for a surprising long time with next to nothing. Any one whose house has been invested with mice and who had passed weary weeks when everything that possibly could serve as food was carefully un? der lock and key, finally calling to service an active ferret will appreciate this fact He is a mighty aggressive and tireless forager after food, not hesitating at wails or similar obstruc? tions, through which he patiently gnaws a path. As a test of persistence in thia line I hung a basket of food from the ceiling by a rope and after a week's fast placed a mouse at a hole in the ceiling above the basket. He descended some eight feet or more on a slender cord and safely reached als haven, later climbing up again. "All of my mice I have taken from nests about the premises and notice that they invariably seek shelter be? low or behind something, never In so exposed a locality as almost any other animal would select For a nest pa? per, cloth or any soft material seems to satisfy, and the exceeding fineness with which it is chopped suggests some mighty artistic work with their teeth." -Portland Express. A VERY PARTICULAR BIRD. If the Bat ki a p Dish Didn't Smlt Him, He Wont Unwashed. "Birds have as much character as human beings," said a specialist on birds. "Some are the most arrant little aristocrats, while others are regular lit? tle plebeians. I had a little fellow some time ago who, despite all my ef? forts, would not bathe. Each morning when, with his white porcelain tub in my hand, I approached his eage, he would resolve himself into the sulkiest, dreariest little ball of feathers you can possibly imagine. I coaxed and plead? ed; I even bribed. Bathe he would not So consistent was he in his determina? tion not to bathe that I named him Tramp. One morning I broke the tub, and In Its place I took a shallow blue and white dish of Japanese ware. Tramp eyed me for a moment with all his old hostility, and then as be caught sight of the pretty dish he flew down from his perch with chirps of joy and darted into the water before'I could take my hand from the cage. "I had found the way to his heart, and his morning bath now became a daily source of joy to both of us. But ont fatal morning I broke the blue and white dish. In an apologetic manner I brought to Tramp once more the regu? lation white bath dish, hoping that his cleanly habits were by this time so in? grained that he would overlook- the prosaic appearance, of .his tub. Not so. An angry* flutter of wings, a threaten? ing little beak, a perfect tempest of shrill cheeps and twitteriiag* and then sulky silence on the topmost perch. "So it went on till I secured another blue and white dish and then peace and harmony and morning baths again."-New York Commercial Adver? tiser. Railroad Man's Prsiyer. An old railroad man. having been converted, was asked to lead in prayer. The following was the response: "O Lord, now that I have flagged thee, lift up my feet from the rough road of life and plant them safely on the deck of the train of salvation. Let me use the safety lamp known as prudence, make all the couplings in the train with the strong link of thy love and let my hand lamp be the Bible, and. heavenly Father, keep all switches closed that lead off the sidings, especially those with a blind end.

For al? most a century it has been ticking away, night and day, and now it Is as good as ever. The old clock is about eight feet high, and its frame Is solid mahogany. Its face is about a foot and a half in diam? eter, and the, name of Thomas; Voight, Philadelphia, shows by whom and where It was made. It used to stand in the old senate chamber, now the su? preme court room, where Webster and Clay and Benton and all the famous men of the past debated great ques? tions.

Some Polynesian languages have on- i ly seven consonants ' LIBEL IN ENGLAND. Not Hard There to Gire Canse For Actions at Law. England's libel law is a terror to the defendant*. A short time ago a young playwright sold a piece to a London manager and drew a small royalty each week, which was paid by check. One week when the playwright pre? sented the check to the bank for cash? ing it was returned to him marked "No funds." The playwright had the check framed and hung conspicuously in his study. He took pleasure in pointing it out to visitors and making biting comments until one day the manager's lawyer called and told the young man that he was committing a serious libel on the manager, where? upon the check was taken down at once. Over in England the railway com? panies, er at least one of them, put up in the station placards bearing the names of passengers who had violated rules of the road, with addresses, the nature of the offense and fines impos? ed. The offenders took the matter into court, and now the placards show only the words opposite the offense, "A passenger." It frequently happens that names given to villains and ridiculous charac? ters in fiction will duplicate in real life. A certain English novel had its scene laid on the west coast of Africa, and the villain of the book was a major In the army, supposed to be stationed there. To the novelist's dismay there appeared one day out of the unknowm a real major, bearing the name ef the villain of the novel, who also had been stationed on the west coast of Africa In vain the unhappy author protested in the consequent action that he had never seen or heard of the plaintiff. A verdict for the latter was given, with substantial damages. A Birmingham lawyer held that one could libel a man effectually enough by leaving out his name. He brought an action against a local paper for persistently omitting his name from its reports of cases ia which he pro? fessionally was engaged. Presumably he imagined that the loss of the ad? vertisement he would have obtained by his name repeatedly appearing was damage enough. He was nonsuited, however. ' THE BLACK VENUS. An Ug-lT Stone Figure "Worshiped hr Peasants of Brittany. Even false religions die hard, and there are reminders of all extinct faiths stiil existing in the world. One of the most cuaious relics of paganism which are still worshiped in a Chris? tian country is the gigantic black stone figure of a woman which is to be found in a forest of the district of Morbihan, in Brittany. It is known as the "Black Venus," but probably dates far back of the time when the Greeks and Romans worshiped that goddess. Antiquarians assert that this ugly idol belongs to the age of the serpent worshipers, one of whose subterranean temples is in the neighborhood. This would make the figure far older than the Christian era. The statue is that of a huge,, un? couth woman, with a sullen, angry countenance, her form enveloped in a loose mantle. The superstitious Bretons have al? ways worshiped the figure, asserting that it has power over the weather and the crops. If the idol is neglected, they declare that the grain dies on the ear, and if the anger of the black woman is further roused a tidal wave sweeps over Morbihan. Twice the stone was cast Into the sea by pious folk who hoped thereby to put an end to this idolatry, and twice the peasants dragged it back and set up sn altar before it. About two centuries ago Count Pierre de Lannion, on whose estate the figure stood, in order to save the statue from both friends and enemies, dragged it by 40 yoke of oxen to his own chateau and set it up in the courtyard. He cut an inscription on the base of the pedes? tal, declaring tba figure to be a Tenus carved by Caesar's soldiers. The count and his chateau are both gone, but the huge black woman, over? grown with moss, still stands tn the forest, and the peasants still beseech her to bless their crops. Cost of a London Foe. A London fog is an expensive visita? tion. A day of it, counting the day at eight hours, is estimated to cost any? thing from ?50,000 to ?100,000 in hard cash. No small proportion of this goes to the gas and electric light companies, which have to supply about a third more power than usual. But there are also the railways. Fog signaling is expensive. At Clapham Junction alone ?50 has been spent by a single railway company during a day's fog in extra pay to the plate layers. When the red light cannot be seen at a distance of a hundred yards, the plate layers become fog signalers, and for this they are paid a shilling a day in addition to their regular wages and fourpence per hour overtime, providing the overtime does not run into a second shilling.-London Chronicle. When Mr. Gladstone was alive, he was once discussing with some friends at Hawarden castle the greatest day in the world's history.
