s1t's always more or less annoying if
a man holds out half the pack, because
even blind man might notice the
work, and then, when the time comes
to replace the cards in the pack, it is
more difficult top put Wad of them back
than it is to get few there unnoticed.

necessarily be the last one of the game.
''My friend had only one card extra,
and he could not get it back to the deck,
which was too far from him. He had
been working the left knee hold -Out,
and on it lay the card, deuce of spades,
which he must get away with. He
knew that if he did not the sucker would
rise after being broke and would see the
card, and fuss would follow. Jimmy,
that was his name, opened up ham
sandwich he had before him, and before
the final bet was made he quietly man
aged to slip the troublesome card be-
tween the two slices.
"The hand was played, the sucker
got broke; he got up from the table,

sEvery gambler knows of the plate
holdout for the arm. 1t is one of the
best that know of. 1t is peculiar
looking instrument screwed on brass
plate, which is curved in such a manner
as to fit snugly to the shape of the arm
where it is to be buckled or tied. The
plate must be fastened to the upper
part of the forearm. near the elbow, but
on the inside next to the body.
s'The mechanism connected with the
plate is simple enough, and is in the
form of narrow strips of wood, one
crossed over the other, forming dia-
mond-shaped spaces.

that newspaper writer has just made
public, says the Brooklyn Eagle. "Few
persons" says he, 'are aware that this
comedian, the merriest of the merry,
carried "a life long hunger in his heart
In the earlier years William Warren
and Adelaide Phillips were lovers. The
latter had father of of the Eccles
type. When marriage was proposed to
her she made this answer:
II love you. and because love you I
will not marry you. This old man, my
father, is helpless-a sore trial, in truth
and he must look to me while he lives.
I would not purchase my own happi-
ness by adding to your burden. Let us
wait, and if the good years to come
bring fruition of our hopes we will live
for each other then. Meanwhile l shall
not cease to love you, nor will / marry
any other man, let the end be what it
may"
The lovers went their way. Father
Phillips, though he abated not a jot of
his devotion to gin, lived on and Oh.
Young Adelaide grew to old woman
hood and the great comedian went on
the list of hOnored veterans of whom
the world speaks with respect. Still
their love survived and when at last
their weary waiting ended and they
once more took up the old question,
both found the opportunity was come
too late.
They had grown old in singleness;
had formed ineradicable habits; neither
had many years longer to remain, and
well, they would live out their lives
in the way they had followed for gem
Grafton, and trust to the eternal future
to bring them realization of their early
dream. Adelaide Phillips went first,
s'the strong base and building of her
love- mistaken to the last. And now
the other, who. like Philip Ray, had
waited all his life, has found the mean
ing there is in the august experience of
a change of words,

Was simply naught;

And careless part

is also provided with two :Other but
smaller brass plates which are one on
top of the other, so that between them
can be wedged a number OF playing
cards, which they hold securely.
"The whole thing looks like a success
sion of letter KS, one riveted to the
other, and on the end two brass plates.
The other end, which is fastened to the
large brass plate. is fixed with a tiny
cOntrivance which closes the left-hand-
opening of the first x when the arm,is
pressed against the players body. The
effect of bringing together the ends of
the first x is to elongate that letter, or
the diamond shape formed by the join
ing of both the letters Xxx. The result
is that the first diamond shape, which
when not opened was only quarter OF
an inch wide, Widens to two inches and
causes the next one to do the same, and
so OH to the end. In this way the lat
tice work of sticks, at first only about
three inches long, spreads out along the
Wearer's arm to distance of seven or
eight inches, if desired, pushing along
the two small plates holding the playing
cards.
'.As soon as the elbow pressure is re-
moved from the body. rubber band
connecting the brass plates draws them
bach to the original closed and compact
coneition.
with such a contrivance all man
has to do is to hold out good hand of
CARDS, taking them one OF two at time
from the pack as the game progresses.
and insert them in the brass plates that
will peep out from his sleeve when he
presses his elbow to his side. Then, by
removing the pressure, the cards in
the slit will disappear up the sleeve
until they are needed.
''When that time comes the elbow is
pressed once more, the brass plates or
feeders come out into the players hand,
he takes the cards he wants, slips the
discarded pack in the slit, and the tale
is told.
''Should it become necessary to at any
time return all the cards to the deck, all
the player has to do is to reach out and
take the pack in his empty left hand.
press the elbow, and the feeder will
come out unObserved, and bring with it
the cards which it is desirable to unload.

the hired ramanuenSiS. In order 10 read
the letter it was necessary for the law
yer to bend over the back OF the young
lady's chair. The youngster looked at
the parent, took in the situation; ana
then said: "Pa, want a quarter.
''Im busy now, don't bother me, BOY,
said the father; and he continued TO
hang over the shapely shoulder OF the
fair typewriter and peruse the letter
which She held in her hand.
Pa said the boy again, 81 want
quarter. You'd better give it to me,
and FL clear out.''
Don't worry me. 1 tell you, said the
father. Cant you see that am
busy?'
The youngster didn't say any more,
but Just hung around the office. He
looked out of the window and counted
the white horses as they went by; he
pasted a row of notarial seals across
one of the desks; he emptied some sand
into an inkstand and then thickened
the compound with mucilage, and did a
lot of other mischievous tricks, such as
will only suggest themselves to ten
year-old boy. But he kept close watch
Oh the governor and the Typewriter, and
every now and then would shrug his
shoulders. as much as to say: "Pll get
even with YOU"
Finally, the lawyer was ready to go
home, and taking his little boy by the
hand, they walked to their mOdest-ap-
pearing but handsomely furnished resi-
dence. Very little was said on the
way, and the father was evidently net
tied at what he considered the misbe
havior OF his son. When the family sat
down to dinner he narrated the circnm
stances to his wife, and she sternly told
the young man that if be could not be-
have himself she would not let him go
down to his fathers office again.
The boy didn't seem to mind that
much, and finally said, as he balanced
his fork on his forefnger: perhaps l
was somewhat rude and impatient; but,
mamma, if you'd seen pa lean over that
typewriter and play with her bangs and
whisper in her ear, you'd have thought
he'd been glad to give me a quarter to
getme out of the way. Inever knew
how much pa was stuck OH her before"
The youngster was sent away from
the table in disgrace, and he subse-
Quently received striking evidence of
parents wrath, but there was also an
argument between the parents that re-
suited in the dismissal Of the fair type
writer the following day.

So The motive of this dance is to give
some idea of what love is like and of
the way in WHICH woman draws man
on and then gets out of the way at the
critical moment. The princess appears
TO have been successful, and she de-
lighted everybody. very much. The
striking feature Of the dance, which
seems to have no particular step to it. is
the ability displayed by the dancer to
move from one spot to another by sort
of patter of the feet, without apparent
motion of the arms or legs. Eight
strange musicians played while the
princes danced. A tambouriDe, guitar.
queer mandolin, and flute, very diff
ferent from most flutes, were some of
the instruments used. The princess
was in a dress of light blue and silver.
A sort of muslin turban decorated her
head, the ends falling back to her waist,
and broad red stripe runningsdOWn
the front of her dress made a very curl

which his majesty deigned to exhibit.

ice an expert. Here are some points
given by the New York World on how
to carve boiled turkey, which is as
good an illustration as can be given.
The legs of boiled fowl always bend
inward and tuck into the belly, but be-
fore it is put upon the table the skewer
by which they are secured ought to be
removed. The fowl should be laid on
the carver's plate, and the joints as
they are cut off placed on the dish. In
taking off the wing the joint only must
be divided with the knife, for by lifting
up the pinion of the wing with the
fork and then drawing it toward
the legs the muscles will separate IN
a much better form than you can
effect by cutting with knife. Next
place the knife between the leg and
body and cut to the bone. turn the leg
back with the fork and the joint will
give way if the fowl is young and we'll
done. The merry thought is taken out
when the legs and wings are all re-
moved; the neck bones are taken off by
putting in the knife and pressing it
under the long, broad part Of the bone;
then lift the neck bone up and
break it off from the part that
sticks to the breast. The breast itself

to the breast, quite down to the tail;
then lay the back upward, put your
knife into the bone half way from the
neck to the wings, and by raising the
lower end it will readily separate. The
