A POKER STORY.

Minnesota.

DOODLE" said member of the third house
to Tribune reporter yesterday. at is a
fore the Senatorial caucus" went on the
speaker. There was one member of the
House who, it was thought, could be in
fuenced if properly approached. He
could not be bought, but he had not de-
clared himself, and it was said that which
ever side could make the most favorable
impression would catch his vote. So a
committee of three was appointed by one
set of managers to devise ways and means
of making favorable impression,
"'Come up to room No. = tonight,
one of the three said to the member, and
We'll crack bottle
"The member declared himself in with
the small bottle, and was on hand promptly.
The committee of three was on hand, and
a small bottle was cracked in short order
Then it was proposed that the party in
dulge in little game Of poker The
member said he didn't understand the
game The committee of three assured
him that they could easily explain the
points so that he could play all right. 1t
was simple game, something like casino,
and it was usual to put up dollar or so
on the results of the hands, just to made it
interesting.
"The member sat into the game. He was
honest in his statement that he did not
know the points. He didn't know Jack
pot from jack-knife, and on the first hand
he discarded one of the three ten-spots in
the hope of drawing the ten of diamonds,
which he thought counted as the big
casino. He would have been easy game.
but there was no intention of fleeing
him. He was allowed to come in on every
hand before a bet was made. If he
held two trays and rashly bet blue chips,
the others laid down and he raked in the
ante. His chips accumulated, and he pro-
fessed to be in love with the game. The
crisis came on what proved to be the last
hand. The member held three fves and
was willing to bet big money The size of
the pot grew to very ample proportions.
One of the committee of three had five
diamonds, but when it came to a show
down he generously informed the member
that his three fves were good, and the
member gathered in the pile. His even
ing's entertainment netted him $1,000.
Nobody was sore, however, and the COM
mlttee of three laughed at their bad luck
and complimented the member on his
shrewdness and the celebrity with which he
caught the intricacies of the game. He
felt of the roll, $4,000, and went to his
room with mental reservation that the
men with whom he had spent the evening
were the whitest men on earth Not
word had been said about the senatorial
contest, but the next day when two of the
committee of three met him in the corri-
dor and pressed him on the subject, with
no allusion to the evenings entertainment,
he pledged himself to vote for the man,
and he did SO when the caucus came."-

Last spring while at Willewemoc lake

every morning, soon after the sun rose, by
woodpecker pecking at the tin leader on

THE OLD-FAsHIONED HOME.

In cool, shady nook where the wild flowers
bloom,
Stands the homestead now moss grown and
Where played when child in the long, long
ago
When life seemed one bright summer day;
But the years now passed have brought sorrow
And in far, distant lands now roam,
Yet memory still clings to my birthplace, so
dear
To that dearly loved old-fashioned home.
CHORUS
Oh 1 ne'er shall forget, ne er shall forget,
Wherever my footsteps may roam,
That humble retreat where loved ones oft weep,
For the lonely sad exile from home.
When the night-shadows deepen DER valley and
lea,
And earth is enshrouded in gloom,
Will loved ones be waiting and watching for
And yearn for the wanderers return?
While /, in my loneliness, long to be there
With those gathered round the hearth stone,
In fancy / can see the one vacant chair,
In that cherished, that old fashioned home.
Sweet memories of home how dear to my heart
Far dearer than all else ween,
Each fond recollection bid sad thoughts depart,
That DER me in twilight Oft steal;
Yet sigh for the days THAI will return never
more,
While Ger lifes pathway journey alone,
And my heart fondly yearns Tor the place of my
birth
That dearly loved, old-fashioned home.

Curious Epitaphs.

The Newcastle-upon-Tyne Chronicle says
the following, found in Hamesrfeld church
yard, Suffolk, Eng, is the epitaph on Rob-
ert Crycroft, OBJ. 1910, act. 90:
AS walk'd by myself, talked TO myself,
And thus myself said to me:
Look to myself and take care of myself
For nobody cares for thee.
So turned to myself. and answered myself,
In the sell same revere:
Look to myself, or look not to myself,
The self-same thing will it be.
The following is upon Joseph Blacket,
poet and shoemaker, of Seaham, OBJ. 1910:
Stranger behold, inferred together,
The Souls of learning and of leather,
Poor Joe is gone, but left his all
You'll find his relics in a stall.
His works were neat and often found
Well stitched, and with morocco bound.
Tread lightly where the bard is aid
He can not mend the shoe he made;
Yet he is happy in his hole,
With verse immortal as his sole;
But still to business he held fast,
And stuck to Phpbus to the last.
Then, who shall say so good fellow
Was only leather and prunella?
For characterize did not lack it.
And if he did-twere shame TO Black it
