said to be somewhat deficient in mind.

With the Jackpot
PkAIde phia Caa.

A craze for draw poker has gradually de-
v,lopsd itself in the towns along the 0leau
~ii,ision of the New York, Lake Erie &
Western railroad. 1t has affected rich
al d poor, young and old. Time-honored
nd semi wicked .uchre aud digniied and
-mineLtly respectable whist are now seldom
hoard Of in lively and social gatherings
~htresboutS. The fashionable card party
now involves an ante of five cent?
aud a limit Of twenty-five. Society
aides can talk by the hour about the game,
Tor It's mysteries are TO them as an open

Two wellknown young ladies Of 0lean-
fiTst.fsmily ones at that-happened to meet
IN the boss dry goods store OF the place the
other day. One Of them wsS making q
purchase which only the day before she had
said she diIn't think she could afford TO
make. She YVES questioned by her fair com
panion as to why she had changed her
mind. What followed is on the word OF the
store owner;
"Ja,k called last night" said the lady
Sho had changed her mind. and BY aud
by o.her company came in, and after awhile
somebody suggested a little game, and we
made up q board-ante FIVE, ten to come in,
and twenty-five limit. We played till 10.

a half, and quit Everybody agreed
There were s. in the pot before any one
opened. Jack opened for q half, the mesn
hing, and all / had to draw to was q
monkey flush. Wasn't that awful? Well,
everybody came in, and l made up my
mind l wasn't going to be scared, and so !
Clipped along. Jack took only two cards.
All the rest took three. l threw mine all
away and took FIVE. Wasn't l horribler

A Georgia Woman who Tells q Thrill
Ina Tale OF the Kansas Eiends.

Ina Tale or the Kansas k1endss
Ahens (Ga.l Banner.
Mrs. Willis Williiord, 9 widowed lady Of
Athens, lost her youngest brother at the
hands Of the Benders, who figured 30 prom
inently in the annals of crime 3 few years
ago. This young man lived in Kansas,
about ~Eorty-eight miles from the Benders,
and, taking with him several hundred dol
lars in money, he started for the frontier
with the intention Of specializing in land
He travelled in 8 two-horse wagon, and it
seems that on the second day he reached
the cabin where the Benders ran q hotel and
sort of saloon. He was absent so long that
his family grew uneasy and instituted q
search for him, but the missing man could
not be traced beyond his second days
travel.
While the Benders were looked upon as
bad characters nothing criminal was knowu
against them, and hence no Suspicion Of
foul play At their hands was entertained. Ii
was q year and 3 half after his disappear
ance that several travellers stopped at the
Bender House, among them q lady, who
was pot to sleep in an upper room with q
small window overlooking an orchard. Dur
ing the night she was aroused BY some noise
out doors and looking out saw several per
sons bGrJing IN object The
moon gave . pale light aud to her
horror she discovered that the parties we're
intening q hnman body. She was near
enough to hear what they said. and dis.
covered from their conversation that they
bad iust murdered one Of their guests and
intended to attend to the lady next She
was thoroughly frightened, bat managed
somehow to escape into the woods, aud
make her way 10 the nearest settlement
where she told her story.
A posse was at nee organized and
started for tie scene of the murder. bot the
Bendsrs had evidently gotten word Of their
discovery and only o vacant house was
found upon the arrival Of the officers The
