FOUR DAYS TO LIGHT UP.
The Reason Why a Dakota Man
Didn't Enjoy Smoke.

One of the cOldest days recently pc
destrianS on Clark street stared in
amaZement at Il big man who shuffled
along apparently nearly overcome with
heat, says the Chicago Tribune. He
carried an enormous cOonskin coat on
his arm, his big fur cap was pushed
back from his forehead, his coat was un-
buttoned, and the perspiration stood in
beads on his brow. He was looking
anXiOusly at the store windows as if in
search of something that he'd got to
have and have right Off. Along about
Washington street he gave it up as
bad job and tackled a shivering Chica-
goan who was hidden in a fur collar and
was trying to keep from freezing to
death.

wiping his forehead with the back of
his hand, ''kin ye steer me Onter some

The Chicagoan was too much aston

speaker.
"What's the matter with this here

''Hot weather.' broke in the other

sGosh? is it hot's that?" said the big
man mopping his face and moving into
the shade.
"Where'd YOU come from. anyway?"

voice.

POKER FRANKS MASCOT.
Written for the Globe.

Written for the Globe.
Poker Frank is remnant of early days,
Who handles the ivory checks,
And the magical skill he oft displays
Is the cause of score of wrecks.
Not that he wronged man at play,
BY methods that were not rair
But because he had a peculiar way
OF raising Oh two small pair.
But fortune is fickIe, and wealth soon flies,
When the boom once passes by,
And the hands that formerly stood a ''rise''
Would mute On the table lie.
Frank felt the change that had taken place.
And in sadness hewalked around,
While the quiet look on his handsome face
Spoke in voice profound.
One day on the river bank he stood,
Watching the waves roll by,
When q dog came limping through the wood
With Il melancholy eye.
One foot was gone from the brindle dog,
But he limped on the other three,
While Frank sat down on an elm log,
Saying, 'DogsIe, my mascot be!
The dog was hungry and very lank,
And he wagged q stubby TAIL
While he gazed on the rotund form of Frank,
And uttered a canine wall.
That settled the question with Poker Frank,
And, patting the doggie's head,
Exclaimed: Good luck to my faro bank;
Your my mascot till you're dead
Andluck has returned TO Poker Frank,
That mad left him months before,
And the dog is not so lean and lauk,
AS that day on the river shore.
