He Could Not Hurt Them.
BY OPIE READ

Not every man who is ragged,
homeless, penniless, and friendless is
a tramp in the usual acceptation of
the word. So many horrible crimes
have been committed by tramps, that
by the term tramp we mean wild
beast bearing some resemblance to a
human being, who goes about like
the spirit of evil. There are men
who have been made tramps by cir
cumstances over which they had no
control. and who have neither the
courage nor the desire to commit the
slightest wrong. They are merely
walking about to save funeral expen-
ses. Life has no charm for them,
but they lack the courage to commit
suicide. Like Hamlet, they prefer
to s'hear the ills they have rather
than fly to others that they know not

A craze for draw poker has gradu-

along the olean Division of the New

road. 1t has affected rich and poor,
young and old. Time honored and
semi-wicked euchre and dignifed and
eminently respectful whist are now
seldom heard of in lively and social
gatherings hereabouts. The fash
ionable card party now involves an
ante of 5 cents and limit of 25.
Society ladies can talk by the hour
about the game. for its mysteries are
to them as an open book.
Two well-known young ladies Of
ohen7-irst-fami ones at that
happened to meet IN the boss dry
goods store of the place the other
day. One of them was making
a purchase which only the day be-
fore she had said she didn't think
she could afford to make. She was
questioned by her fair companion as
to why she had changed her mind.
What followed is on the word of
the store owner:
"Jaak called last night" said the
lady who had changed her mind,

Jack took only two cards.
Ali the rest took three, l III ew mine
all away and took five. Wasn't
horrible? Jack bet a half. Every
body else saw him. I looked at my
hand and raised this bet half more,
There were $8 in the pot. Jack says.
WHAT on a five card draws' I said
Yes Then he saw me and raised
another half. All the rest dropped
out, the mean things. took another
peep.at my hand and raised Mr.. Jack
another half. See here, Jenny he
said, If it was any one else I'd thinl
they were giving me bluff, but
tguess you've got the beating of me
and SO I wont invest any more
