felt quite confident that the cards had been
properly stocked" yet he would have given
much for peep at those Peddy had not yet
picked up.
Several thousand dollars had already been
bet, and finally, as stumper, Dawson went
$4,000 better. Reddy promptly ''saw the
raise" and said: II 60 you another $4,000
better" Quite absent mindedly, he then
picked up the two cards that had all the time
been lying unnoticed by his side.
The weasel eye of ''Domlngo Joe'' detect
ed the other ace as the cards were lifted, and
an ashy pallor spread over his visage. 1t
was as though he had been stricken by
DEATH
He almost instantly recovered his self-pos-
session, however, and, thrusting both hands
into his trousers pockets, he sheered off from
the party, and, carelesslp sauntering up and
down the boat, began singing;
"And the other fell in. too boys,
And the other fell in there, too."
This was enough for Dawson. The words
of Joe's pretended song came to his ears as
death knell. He turned pale, then red, threw
down bis cards, and said: Take it all, I
squeal!"
AS Reddy raked down the whole pile he
threw glance around at the faces of the
crowd of silent spectators, and sang, as
though the words of domingo Joe" had just
reached him:
'And the other fell in, too boys,
And the other fell in there, too"

Why Some Farmers Keep Poor.

A recent writer says: "After long obser-
vatien l have come to the conclusion that a
great majority of the farmers that are poor
might have made money. If you inquire into
their business habits you will find that they
always sold the best and kept the poorest.
For instance, if they have too many sheep on
hand they pick out the best to be sold. II
you ask them why they do so they will say,
Because they bring twice as much as the
others, and l am hard up just now for money.
I know that it is not d good plan, and l do
not intend to follow it always" think the
habit of selling the best is very poor plan
for any man, don't care what his circum-
stances may be. I have man in my mind
now who always sells his poorest sheep for
more than twice as much as the average far
mer gets for his best. have seen farmers
In the fall pick out their best pigs to fatten,
because they would make few more pounds
OF pork than the others. This I call very
poor economy.

1t Wasn't the TOOthache.
From the Detroit Free Press.l

-
In the ladies' waiting room of the Central
depot the other day was newly-married cou.
pie from Grass Lake. They had been visit
ing in the city two or three days, and were
then ready to 60 home. They sat side by
she leaning on his shoulder. A long-waisted
stranger from the East, having sore eyes and
a big heart, walked in, saw them thus seated,
and in about minute he asked of the hus-
band:
HAS that woman there got the toothache?'
The husband looked up in surprise, but
made no answer. After two or three minutes
the long wasted man again remarked:
If that woman has got the toothache, I've
got bottle of peppermint in my satchel
here
The bride rolled her big white eyes around
and the husband looked somewhat embar-
rassed. The man from down East unlocked
his satchel, fumbled among his shirts and
collars, and brought up four ounces of pep
permint essence. He uncorked it, touched
the contents of the bottle against his big, red
tongue, and handing it forward toward the
husband, feelingly said:
'Just have her sop some on a rag and rub
her gooms with it. We've used it in our fam
lily for"
The brides eyes threw out sparks as she
lifted her head from its loving position, and,
striking at the bottle, snarled out:
"Tuthache, you fule! If you don't know
the difference tween true love and the tuth-
ache you'd better pick grass with the geese"
my Lord" gasped the man, and he hur-
ried out, with his satchel in one hand and the
bottle in the other.

A new Process for Remoylns snow.

A New York firm has made a proposition
to the Board of Health of that city for the
removal of snow from the public streets every
winter at cost of less than one-tenth of that
of the existing method. The machine, which
is indorsed by several eminent engineers, con.
sists simply of boiler with super-heater,
and is so constructed that all the heat OBJ
tanned from the furnace, as we'll as the super
heated steam, is discharged upon the snow
direct. By simple contrivance, most rapid
combustion of fuel is effected, and the steam
being employed in producing draft on the
fuel. One machine, it is claimed, can do the
work of 400 carts, and will remove snow six
inches deep in street a mile long within less
than "a hours after the first fake has fallen,
and at q cost of about 300. The same work
by the slow and tedious process of carting
would cost nearly $4,000.

RAISING A COLD DECK.
ssAnd the Other Fell in, too. Boys; and
the Other Fell In There, tOO.''

In the early days of California, when the
miners were digging ''bushels" of money Out
of the gulches and hills, Reddy & Andrews
owned immensely rich diggings in Forrest
CITY, Sierra county. They frequently cleaned
up from 500, 900 to $50, 1000. When clean.
up was made one of the partners would take
the dust down to San Francisco to the mint.
In making these trips they generally took
turns. It was their custom to stop over night
| in Sacramento, and take the boat the next
afternoon at 2 o'clock for San Francisco.
When Andrews went down to Sacramento he
frequently did battle with the ''tiger," but
Reddy's strong suit was poker. Three aces
was his big hand. When he had three aces
he would bet his 'bottom dollar" This was
we'll known among the sports.
On one occasion Reddy had been playing
all night with some of the Sacramento sports
and in the morning quit $500 ahead of the
game. The sports-Charley Dawson among
the number-did not much relish his getting
away with the coin, and concluded ':just for
the fun of the thing" as they told Reddy, to
take little run down to the ebay"
river before, as the most natural thing in the
world, poker game was started. In the
game were Reddy, Foster, hotel keeper
from one of the Southern mining counties,
and Charley Dawson and two other sports
A job had been put up to ''raise cold
deck and give Reddy his favorite hand of
three aces. The game proceeded, and at the
proper time Dawson ''raised" the deck.
The cards were dealt, and Reddy got his
three aces, Dawson three kings, and the
others Indifferent hands. In the ''draw"
Dawson got the other king. Reddy drew two
cards, but having his three aces, he felt strong
enough to fight an army, and did not pick up
or look at the two cards drawn.
Betting was begun, and Foster and the two
sports that were with Dawson did not come
in. .;.s.. .e.. .
Having four kings, and being confident
that Reddy had only his three aces, Dawson
went IN strong; and having his three aces,
Reddy felt chat nothing could whip him.
The betting was red hot and most of the
loungers about the boat were gathered around
the two men. watching the game with breath
less interest.
Among the lookers-on was Domingo
Joe," a nervous. restless little sport, who
was Dawson's friend and chum. Joe was
slipping back and forth in his restless way.
peeping over the shoulders of the two men
at their cards as often as an opportunity off
cred, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He

DIR. TALMAeE often speaks wildly, but he
sailed very close to the truth when he said, in
a lecture, a few evenings since: s'The world
will have to learn that the newspaper is an
institution, and that it requires infinite brains
and almost infinite capital. It is folly for any
one who can not succeed in anything else to
try newspsperdom. To publish newspaper
it requires the skill, precision, boldness, vigi-
lance and strategy of commander-in-chief.
To edit it requires that one be astatesman, an
essayist, geographer, in fact, an encyclo-
pedia. And to govern and propel it till It is
an established fact demands more qualities
than any business on earth.

LOVED AT LAST.

And so he loves me, though they said
No lover e'er would come to me,
That l should neer be WOOed or wed,
Or nurse a child upon my'knee;
They were so sure that should miss
The woman's heritage of bliss.
And /, too, in the sad gray hours,
When through low clouds no sunlight shOne,
And when the slow September showers
Seemed Natures tears for summer gone,
Murmured with long. sad sigh,
" My summer also has gone BY"
But now know that what to me
Seemed autumn rains were showers of spring.
Summer has come and now see
Loves sunlight brighten everything;
He says he loves me, and to-day
My year rolls back to early May.
How did it come to ask of him;
He says my face ia sweet and fair;
And yet to me these eyes seem dim,
And on his brow are lines of care;
But now these eyes shall yet be bright,
And once again this brow grow light.
He loves me! loves me! repeat
The blest assurance every hour;
And now the wine of life is sweet
That yesterday was sharp and sour;
Now can drink, with spirit bold,
Loves nectar from cup OF gold.
look through long slow coming years,
Made by his love all bright and fair;
look around through happy tears,
And see his image everywhere;
In his great love breathe and live;
If it be sin, dear God, forgive.
It can not be. Since have known
His love, Gods love seems dearer too;
He has come near to me, and shown
What for the humblest he can do.
Life's faithful fingers intertwine
The human love with the divine.
o love, love, love! o blessed word,
That never did understand
Till in my ear his voice heard
And telt the pressure of his hand;
No more walk with eyes cast down;
l am his queen, love is my crown.
