PEDRO FOR DRINKS.
A Justice Who Was Posted ON the Differ.
ence Between HanchO and Plain.

A complicated pedro arbitration was set
tied in the Virginia City, Nevada, Police Court
the other day. Henry Kause was charged
with having assaulted Patrick McGinlay in a
saloon on street. The quarrel grew out of
a game of pedro for the drinks, and when the
Judge saw what was coming he braced him
self with ''Revised Hoyle' and ''Schenck's 8
Commentaries" and prepared to wrestle with
the entanglements of the case.
The prosecuting witness first took the
stand and said:
eye see, yer worship, We wor playin' ped
hrO for the drinks"
The Court-''Sancho or plain?''
Witness-''Just only plain pedhro, your
worship; the ould kind. he'd four to 60,
dye see? and gev him three an he tuck
wan extra on the shly, and out l pitches q
diamond for the thrump-dye see, now.
Judge? Well, he lays down spade, and
then plays club-the tin sphot it was, l
belave-and him spade, and thin | threw
away four Nv clubs, and he. clappin' on a
five sphot o clubs, mind ye, say, Pedro y
Judge) says l. Diamonds is the only thrump,
and ii it isn't you didn't folly suit says l. "
Attorney Stephens-''DOes the Court un-
derstand the game p
The Court (sharply)-"When the Court de-
sires any information of counsel it will ask
for it,"
Witness-"Thin'h he grabbed me and began
shlammin' me on the fure-he TUX me be sur
prise, dye see, or I cud bate the head Nv him,
| cud." In corroboration of this statement,
the witness spat on his hands, and rubbed
them together ominously.
The next witness was George Peters, who
started off quite duently to tell what he knew.
Witness-''They was playin' seven up
for the drinks and McGilpin turned the jack,
and as soon as Krause passed the pack he
drew to ace high and got a pair Of kings
The Court-Hold on, sir. 1t seems to me
you are getting this thing little mixed. Shut
tle up your ideas and give us new deal.
Witness" Hearts was trumps and then
Krause turned queen"
The Court ''Step down, sir. You are evi-
dently not competent witness" [General
laughter.]
Henry Krause was called for and said:
II yoost tole you how it was, Shudge. We
vas blayin' bedro-dot lridgemans and mine
selve-bedro vor der thinks. Clubs vas drump,

Krause having admitted the assault, was
found guilty and ordered to appear for SEN
tence at six o'clock.

OratOrical Blunders.

It was Frenchman-the famous CarliDo
who, contentedly laying head upon a large
stone jar for pillow, replied to one who in
quired if it were not rather hard, ''Not at all,
for have stuffed it with hay" 1t was an
American lecturer who solemnly said one
evening, "Parents, you may have children /;
or, if not, your daughters may have" 1t was
a German orator who, warming with his SUBJ

or child in the house who has arrived at the
age of fifty years, but what has felt the truth
laundering through their minds for CEN

ANEVADA GOLD BUG.
How Uncle Billy opened His Account

They tell story at the Nevada Bank about
how Uncle Billy O'Brien was induced to open
q personal account. Heretofore, whenever
Billy wanted money, he went to MIR. eager.
the confidential secretary of the firm OF Flood
s. O'Brien, and got firm check. Uncle Billy
said he didn't want to be bothered with II
tried long time to get him to open private
account. The other day female collector
for some charity struck Uncle Billy as he was
sneaking down the back staircase of Nevada
block The old man put down his name for
500 and then began fumbling in his pockets.
''Bless me, he said, II don't believe I've
got any money!" and then mortified lest the
woman should think that he, great million
aire, should be impecunious, he shot around
the corner to the bank, the woman at his heels.
1t was lunch time, and there was hardly
anybody there. Deacon Christensen was be-
hind the counter, but Uncle Billy didn't like
to ask the Deacon for so small favor.
He went to teller, but the teller said he
could not give anybody ten cents without q
check.
This made Uncle Billy little mad, and he
thought of going to McLane, but as he caught
sight of the latter's face, looking more sour
than usual, he turned, and muttering-
''Guess I'd better 60 and see Gager," started
for the door.
1t so happened that eager had gone with
Johnny Landers to lunch.
"Confound it, there's nobody around"
he peeped into Floods room.
Flood wasn't in.
''Ill 20 and see if can find Dodge" said
Uncle Billy.
Dodge had just stepped out.
Just then he thought of Lent
.'I'll 20 and see him. Wait a minute" he
said, rather snappishly, to the woman.
Uncle Billy gave look of deep disgust at
He saw General j. W. Gashwiler get out
OF the elevator. =,
..Ah!" thought Uncle Billy, "now I'm all
right. Look here, Cash, said he, ''glve me

woman's subscription list, and find haven't

with pleasure will. Is $40 enoug b p
And General Gashwiler rammed his right
hand into his right-hand pocket with great
confidence. Then he jammed his left hand
down. The Generals face took an express
sion of pain.
'.Bless my soul-1 believe--no, by Jove, l
haven't got-wait a minute, Billy, wait; wait,
I'll go up-I guess Sim is up stairs: L."
The General started off, but ut thai instant
Uncle Billy spied Flood. From him he got
the $40, and the woman departed.
In about an hour Uncle Billy went to Mr..
eager with determined air, and said:
'Gager, guess I'll open personal account
at the bank give me check.
''How much ?" asked Mr.. eager with sur
prise. .,
"You may make it for $1,000, ,000." said
Uncle Billy. ''l'm not going to be so morti-
fed again. The idea of my running around
to borrow $780,"
The check was drawn for $1,000, 900, and
signed. ..o,
.'How much does that leave to my credit?'
asked Uncle Billy.

THE FOLLOWER.

We have a youngster in the house
A little man OF ten;
Who dearest to his mother is
OF all Gods little men.
Indoors and out he clings to her,
He follows up and down;
He steals his slender hand in hers,
He plucks her by the gown.
"Why do you cling to me so. child?
You track me everywhere;
You never let me be alone"
And he. with serious air,
Answered, as closer still he drew:
"My feet were made to follow you.'
Two years before the boy was born,
Another child of seven,
Whom Heaven had lent to us awhile,
Went back again to Heaven.
He came to fill his brothers place,
And bless our failing years;
The good God cent HIM down in love,
To dry our useless tears.

In what the child has said
A meaning that he knows not OF.
A message from the dead.
He answered wiser than he knew,
''My feet were made to follow you"
Come here. my child, and sit with me,
Your head upon nv breast:
You are the last of all my sons,
And yon must be the best
How much love you you may guess
When grown man like me,
You sit as l am sitting now,
Your child upon your knee.
Think of me then, and what said
(And practiced what could,)
'Tis something to be great and wise,
'Tis better to be good.
o, say to all things good and true,
my feet were made to follow .yOu."
Come here, my wife, and sit by me,
And place your hand in mine
(And yours, my child; while have you
'Tis wicked to repiDe.
We've had our share of eOrrOWe, dear,
We've had our graves to I'LL;
But, thank the good God overhead,
We have each other still!
We've nothing in the world beside,
For we are only three.
Mother and child-my wife and child,
How dear you are to me!
knOw-indeed, l always knew,
My feet were made to follow you!

THE GOOD OF THE BOY.
from the Christian UniOn.l

Oh, what is the good OF wide-awake boy,
Who whOOps and hallOOes
AS he ties on his shoes,
And who dances q jig
While he's combing his wig
And washing his face with very poor grace;
Who whips on his Jacket
And makes all the racket
He possibly can?
Now, tell me. pray, what's the good OF this boy?
''Well, wide-awake boy makes wide-awake man.
Oh what is the good of hungry boy
Who clamors for food
As no juvenile should,
And, as as live,
Eats all that you give:
Be it fowl, flesh or fish he empties the dlsh
While for soft gingerbread, he,
Oh, always is ready;
Pray, what will he make:
What sort of man will grow out of this boy?
''Why, very safe man, DEAR to put dozen brakc.'
Oh, what is the good of rollicklng boy,
Who gets into ''snaps"
And all sorts of haps;
Who nothing 20 Oathes

Have Won something say for the good of this boy
Eyes, for enterprise bold he will surely count one
Oh, what is the good of a careless boy,
Who won't wipe his feet
And can't learn to be neat,
Who treads on the cat
And sits down on his hat;
Yet he's spunky and plucky, this happy-go-lucky,
And cares not rattle,
But sides in each battle
With him that is down?
Now. what is the good of this bold, reckless boy?
