FoR a woman of spirit, commend
us to Mrs Fred Dozier, of Ouray,
Colorado. Her liege lord had habit
of squandering his money at the gam
ing table. Poker was his mania, and
he always bet high, but the invariable
result was that he was cleaned out
before he could leave the table. This
habit of Fred's was quite inconven-
lent to Mrs. Fred, as it deprived her
of a fair share of his earnings, and as
he seldom or never had any winnings
it may be surmised that the family
exchequer was in state of continued
collapse. Now Mrs. Fred was wo-
man of spirit, as all women ought to
be. So one night, shortly after Fred
sat down to the fascinating game of
draw she entered the den and secret
ed herself behind curtain where she
could overlook the play. Luck ran
Fred's way and he soon had fine
pile of coin before him. His fortune
eliminated in big pot, be holding
four tens against several hands of but
little less value. Just as he showed
down the winning cards, Mrs. Fred
glided from her place of concealment,
swept the pot and Feds pile into her
apron, and quietly Went thence. Not
having enough left to go in the next
deal, the subsequent proceedings in
terested Fred no more. When he
sobered up and went home next day,
he found the cellar stocked with six
months supply of provisions, the
children all warmly and neatly dress
ed, and his wife wearing the first new
cloak she had owned for FIVE years.
Mrs. Fred's call, though not strictly a
fashionable one, was we'll timed and
very productive of good results.
