until he had summoned DR.. Hording from

examination and found the hapleSS young

followed. Coroner Hill was placed in pos

BIG GAME OF POKER,
Wherein Nerve and a Hidden Ace
FAXED in Over $1,000.


Yes have seen some nice little games
fTut West" remarked man whose dark
hair was slightly tinged with gray, a few
evenings ago as he sat with few friends
who had been discussing the closing of all
gambling housesin this city. ''Some very
good ones in fact. Many people think the
East is the only place where gambling is
carried on to any extent but they want to
go out in the cattle country and among the
gold mines if they want to see some big
games. While in Deadwood, in 1877 or
1878, don't remember which, | saw a
game which set me thinking considerably,
and made me wonder if human nerve had a
limit. Sunday evenings was then the
great time in that city, and everything was
wide open, from the lowest dance-bouse to
the most palatial rooms in the city. Stud
poker. faro. hazard and Spanish
monte were the principal games
played. Everyone PLAYED occasionally,
andia man who never touched chip was
looked on with surprise and almost con-
tempt. The men from the mines were al
ways present and ready to stake their last
dollar on their favorIte card. But to re-
turn to the game of which l started to
speak. | had gone into a big gambling
house and there found one of the most
motley crowds it has ever been my fate to
mingle with. At Stud-poker table in the
rear rear room sat large party of men,
among them Walt Owens and Lew Palmer.
two men well known among the sporting
fraternity as hard betters and nervy men.
The game was a big one, and soon all the
men but Owens and Palmer had withdrawn
from the game. Betting ran high and the
other tables were soon deserted, the players
coming to where the two men sat. and
watching the game with almost breathess
interest. The game progressed, and the
first card turned up for Palmer was a ten
spot. Owens also got a ten, and after
looking at the card turned face down bet
$50. Palmer staid. His next card was a
seven. Owens gaze rested Oh five spot
dealt him, but he cheerfully saw the 500
bet by Palmer. Thus matters went OH
until four cards lay in front of each man,
face up, and one turned down. Not pair
was in sight, and everyone thought each
man had an ace lin the hole" The betting
then began i'll earnest, and each man must
have had an idea the other was ''bluffing -
or at least it looked so. Soon there was
some 5000 on the table. and Palmer made
bet of $500. Owens looked at his hand.
then at his antagonist. Not word did he
say, but reaching into his inside vest
pocket drew out Il big roll of
bills from which he drew S., 600. After
celebrating moment, he dropped
it into the pot his face not moving a
muscle. Palmer laid his hands on the
table in front of him, then pulled similar
amount from his pocket, counted it, and
found that it took every cent he had. With
smile he leaned forward. and called
Owens bet. Silently the two men turned
over the faced card. Palmer had king
Owens an ace. Palmer glanced at the
cards, rose from his seat, and remarked
in calm voice, THAT beats me; Walt.

THE MIND AND THE PEGS.


Intimate Connection Between the
Brain and the Lower Limbs.
Denver Tribune-Republican.
Men generally cross their legs when there
is the least pressure on their minds. You
will never find man actually engaged in
business with his legs crossed. The limbs
at those times are Straighter than at any
other because the mind and body work to-
gether. A man engaged in auditing
accounts will never cross his legs:
neither will a man who is writinn
an article, or who is employed ig
any manner where his brain is actively en-
gagged; when at work in a sitting posture
the limbs naturally extend to the floor in
perfectly straight line. A man may cross
his legs if he is sitting in an office chair dis
cussing some business proposition with an-
other man. but the instant he becomes
really in earnest and perceives something
to be gained, his limbs uncrosS quick as a
flash, he bends forward towards his neigh
Dor and begins to use his hands. That is
phase that believe you will always OBJ
serve.
Men often cross their legs at public
meetings. because they GO to listen, or to
be entertained; they are not the factors in
tlc pei clllo tiiCs place
themselves in the most comfortable posi-
ton known to them-namely, leaning we'll
back in their chairs and crossing their legs
A man always crosses his legs when he
reads new paper, but is more apt to lie
down when he reads book. He reads
the paper. of course, to inform himself but
at the same time the perusal of its contents
is recreation for him, and his body again
seeks it's position of relaxation.
When a man is reading newspaper and
waiting for his breakfast his legs are always
crossed, but as soon as the breakfast is
brought to him he puts the paper aside,
straightens out his legs and goes to work
that is, begins to eat, his mind now turning
on the duties of the day before him. Men
cross their legs in ball room, but it is far
from an elegant thing to do, and is not
done by those who have been brought up in
good society. 1t is your three penny-bit
young man" who crosses his legs at ball,
and, would you believe it, have seen
young ladies do the same thing!

cheStra will assist. The club will be as
sisted by Mr.. Charles A. Knorr, the Chi
cago tenor; Mr.. Charles De Lacey. the ST.

ern conservatory of music.
The Gilmore jubilee festival next week

third those of our former May festivals
that everybody may enjoy the whole affair.
The jubilee will consist of three concerts
GilmOre'S band of fifty SOloists leading the
attractions, and Zelie de Lussan, the be-
witching sprite of the Boston Ideals, to-
gether with Letitia Fritch, an equally
charming singer and lady, bearing the local
banner. Jules Hubbard will support the
girls with his mellow bass, and other artists
will help ill up the harmonious jubilee.
The festival begins next week, Tuesday;
The sale opens on Friday of this week.

After an examination by one of the ply
sieians of hsSSIands and shoulders to sat
isfy hm1s.l chat there was no hocus in the
juncture, the two headed nightingale IA
vored the company with duet. Said Mr..
Smith to the GLOBE reporter: do you
know that she has had several proposals of
marriage. Yes, but they were melcenary
motives, and she was shrewd enough to un-
stand. Mile has laid by snug sum for
her old age. and to-day supports her father
and mother in good shape"
Mile Christine speaks French, German,
Italian and Spanish, and has appeared at
Buckingham Palace and at Marlborough
house by royal command. She stated last
night that one of her faces resembed her
father, the other her mother. Without
doubt she is one of the strangeSt
curlosities before the public. She appears
at the dime museum during the week.

THREE VOTES.

An English Farmer Prosecuted for Voting
Three Times for One Candidate.
Before Mr.. Justice Stephens, in Lon
don, wealthy Tory farmer was prose-
cuted by the Government for commit
ting felony in having voted three times
at three different places in one Parlia-
mentary borough. He had three quail
fications, Had these been in different
boroughs, the Government admitted
his right. but opposed his right TO vote
three times for one candidate. The
defense admitted the voting, but claimed
entire abSense of guilty intention. The
jury found the prisoner guilty, but with
no guilty intent whatever. Mr.. Justice
Stephen entirely agreed with the YER
dict. but said the law must be upheld,
and the prisoner had done what the
law decided was felony. The court
had no option in passing sentence but
to intiict Imprisonment with hard labor.
He did not wish to pass any such sem
tence, and the only way he could avoid
it was by ordering the prisoner to enter
into his own recOgniZances and come
up and receive Judgment when called
upon. Probably, unless he offended
again, he would never hear any more
about it. The prisoner was then bound
over and discharged.-N. Y. Post.
