The Hutchinson county Record
believes the interests of that county
demand the early erection OF suitable
county buildings and fire proof vaults
for the safe keeping Of the county records.
The Records council is wise and should
be needed with as little delay as possible.
Every citizens welfare demands security
for the public records.

WHY A GIRL PLAYED POKER.

A slight girl, dressed in black, with a
sad face, explained to Rochester
news-gatherer the other morning how it
happened that she engaged in drawpoker
on a railway train. You see. she began,
''after we left Buffalo, 1 found that in
some way had lost my money, and
what to do l diden't know. l had my
ticket in another pocket, and that helped
matters. gentlemen in the section
just ahead of me were playing cards. 1t
was poker. l became quite interested
in the game, for you see I often playei
Il with my brothers for corn, and they
say / play pretty we'll. Pretty soon /
maze some remark about the game. and
they asked me If 1 wouldn't like to set
in.' just for the fun of the thing,
said yes, and never had such luck.
guess they just let ME win the first two
or three times because was lady, but
after that they played for what they were
wo.tn. and so did l. And you never saw
tn. equal of the cards 1 held. They call.
ed ma once, aud all 1 had was three aces
an pair of mines. Is that good hand?
w II, should say SO. 1t was good for
Ss that time. How much did / win in
all? Oh, somewhere between $40 and
and $50. haven't counted il yet.
The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1883-04-07
II couldn't think Of such

in amaEement; Il couldn't think Of such
thingl"
"Yts, you can." said Mr. Lilburne.
Think Of IL, that's all. Think Of IL for
week, and then let me know your inal
decision. I'm not exactly what the
world calls gay young lover, but can
give you good home aud an honest, low
ing heart. Your uncle can tell you all
about Leonidas LilbuTne. There, I
won't tease you any longer. just take
my proposal into consideration, that's
all"
She went away, and Msry. in her per-
ple1ity. went in among the barrels.
and took counsel with Uncle BiggS.
Uncle" said she, "what am TO
dor" ...
MY dear" said the good man. strok-
ing her head with 6oury, yet not un-
kindly hands, "what do you tbink9
Conld you learn to like him?"
Il think so," confessed Mary, with
downeast eyes. He spoke so pleasant
ly to me, aud he has such honest brown
eyes"
Then 1 recommend you to say yes.|
said Uncle Biggs. "Lilburne is good,
warm-hearted fellow. if little eccentric,
and his wife will Le a lucky woman"
Aud he thought of EdelgithA and
sighed.
A week subsequently, Mr.. Lilburne
gave his landlady warning.
II hope haven't failed to suit you,
sir" she said, pIaintively.
1T isn't that, Mrs. Pugsley." said he.
but I'm going to be married."
"I'm sure, sir, 1 congratulate you,"
said Mrs. Pugsley, family.
"You may we'll do so. ma'am," said
Mr. Lilburne. "She's as lovely as Ven
us, as domestic az Dorcas, and-sho
makes ginger-snaps such as my poor
mother once did! Yes, Mrs. Pugsley, l
feel that I have gained prize"
So Polly Biggs' ginger-snaps won the
treasure which Miss Edelgitba's frills
and French conversation had been pow
erless to reach.
II really can't see what Mr.. Lilburne
saw to fancy in my Cousin Polly" said
she, with spiteful tears.
And Mrs, Biggs could not enlighten
her daughter.

A SECRET.

The following anecdote of Alexander
H. Stephens is related in the Louisville
Courier, Journal; The wife of Western
Congressman was one day sitting by Mr.
Stephels' 5 bedside, when be was so very
i'll in the winter of 1877, and ne spoke
quite freely to her of his mother aud bis
early life. "a
" Why did you never marry Z asked
the lady.
THAT is my secret" he replied eva
sively.
"But we would all like to know II,
was the response.
"W.ll. said he, grimiy and reluct
an'lv, :" 1 never saw but one woman
wanted to marry, but she did not wait t'
marry me. That is capital reason, is
it not?"
"I hope she lived to regret her mis-
take" remarked the lady. %

TRuTH WORST OF ALL.

A man who said he was trying TO gel
enough money together to reach Toledo
yesterday, entered an Office on Griswold
street and told his story, and added that
his name was Cesar.
ANY relation to julius or Augustus1'
queried the citizen.
Well, no. want to be honest and
square about this thing, and / tell you
honestly that am not related to either ;
Then can't help you any. You are
nothing but common sort o plug, and
it won't make any difference whether
you ever get to CleyOlaud or not. II you
were related to The great Julius should
feel in duty bound to help you"
The man backed oat without another
word, aud entering the Office next door
he walked up to the occupant with the
remark: "MY name is Cesar, and am
closely related to Julius and Augustus.
Can you spare me ten cents to help me
get to Toledo2"
"Sir, you are base deceiver" replied
the other. You are no more relatel to
the Caesars than l am! Had You come
in hear and told me straight, truthful
story should have gwen you quarter!
You can go, sirl" #ta
The man went out, and be determined
to tell I've truth and nothing out truth.
Hating the first man who came along,
lie said: l-
II have been telling folks that my
name was Cesar, and that WAS trying
to collect money enough to take me to
Toledo. Now, the real truth of the
matter is that am named Clark, and
wanted the money to buy whiskey. That,
the solemn truth, and can you help me
with ten cents.
"Ten cents Why, you base liar and de-
ceiver, I'll hand you over to the police!
exclaimed the other.
"Ive told you the truth"
"And it's enough to send you up TO-
six monthsi Don't you dare to ask me
for money!
The tramp sat down on cold stone
block. took his last chew of tobacco, and
mused:
