4 True Poker Story.
Boston Herald.

Four gentlemen were playing poker the
other evening, not a hundred miles from
the corner of Columbus avenue and Dart
mouth street, when a most extraordinary
distribution of the cards occurred. A
jackpot had been made and at the end of
the second deal one of the players opened
it. The gentleman next ''stayed -
while the third ''came IN - and raised
the first bet 81. The opener Carried -
as did also No .. When the cards were
thrown around the opener, after a little
hesitation, called for one, the next
player for two, and the third also hesi-
tated and asked for one. The opener
then bet the limit, and the second player
raised him 50, while the third played for
Sc. The first player saw both bets and
went 81 better, while No. called. No.
3, however, went s. ''haTder, - which
brought q cali from No. /.
What have you?" he asked.
ga diamond flush - was the reply.
81 have a diamond flush also, - said
No. 8.
''And I drew to the four, I've ana six
OF diamonds, - chimed in No. ., "and
filed straight. -
The players looked at each other in
establishment. Every diamond in the
pack was out. But there was still an
other surprise to come.
''What did you open with?" asked
No. 3.
1.-TWO queens, but when you raised 1t
I figured your hand for 'threes, and as
I thought there was a better chance of
my getting a flush than finding another
queen, threw one of them away and
drew 10 my tour flush diamond, which
showed my calculations were all right. -
''Wel, if that isn't strange, - re-
piled No. 3, CT also split pair, having
two jacks in my hand TO draw TO a flush.
When it came my turn to bet 1 thought
il about time for me 10 ill q flush, as [
had been unsuccessful in half a dozen
attempts during the evening, so l gave
you raise, trusting TO get another dia-
mond, and my calculations did not go
amiss.
Now it was No. 2's turn to speak.
Said he: 1.-THE stake was so large that I
made up my mind 70 try for it, and, as
held the four, five and six of diamonds,
thought possibly that I might get a
straight, or two more diamonds. Ny
suppOSition was also a correct one. -
After the players had scratched their
heads FOR Il few moments, and taken
out of 4 bottle shaped soul4s-fiI

STARVING THE TEETH.
Oatmeal, Baked Beans and Whole Wheat Bread
VIII Make Them Strong.

Oatmeal, Baked Beans and Whole Wheat Bread
VIII Make Them Strong.
Teeth are just as easily starved to death
as the stomach. In one way it is a bless
ing to have been born of poor parents,
says the American Analyst. What food
the poor give their children is of the va
riety that goes to make strong bones and
teeth. 1t is the outside of all the grains
of all cereal foods, that contains the car
Donate and phosphate of lime and traces
of other earthly salts which nourIsh the
bony tissue and build the frame up. If
we do not furnish to the teeth of the
young that pabuium they require,
they cannot possibly be built up
1t is the outside of corn, oats, wheat
barley and the like, or the bran so
called, that we sift away and feed to the
swine, that the teeth actually require for
their proper nourishment. The wisdom
of man has proved his folly, shown in
every succeeding generation of teeth
which become more fragile and weak.
These Touring mills are working de-
structiOn upon the teeth of every man,
woman and child who partakes of their
fine bOlted -four They sift out the car
Donates and the phosphates of lime in or
ueT Ih3J Lney may provide that line
white -four which is proving a whitened
sepulcher to teeth. Oatmeal is one of
the best foods for supplying the teeth
with nourishment. 1t makes the
dentine, cementum and enamel
strong, fint-Iike and able to re-
sist all forms of decay. II you
have children, never allow any white
bread upon your table. Bread made of
the whole wheat ground, not bolted, so
that the bran which contains the minute
quantities Of lime is present, is best To
make good, wholesome, nourishing
bread, take two bowls of wheat meaI
and one bowl of white or bolted flour aEscf

DALLAS.
Middle Over the Assessors Office Set
d-Hunnicutt Wins the Day.
A Sure Enough Dynamite Bomb Alleged to
Have Been Discovered by Negro on
Elm Street-C0urt Proceedings.
WITT THE ASSESSOR +.

Special TO the Gazette.
as8as Seas, Tex Aug. 6.-The muddle
over the assessors Office of Dallas coun-
ty has been finally settled by Sam Hun
nicutt, who was installed by the COM
missioners court, rendering his resigna-
ton, which has been accepted, and the
contestant, John T. Witt, qualifying as
assessor. The deal was closed to-day by
Witt paying Hunnicut something over
three thousand dollars, the ex-
pense of operating the office
since Hunnicut has been in.
The muddled state of affairs was brought
about by the election board in the Eighth
ward of the city failing to sign the re-
turns. This box gave the Office to Witt
by something like three votes, but on the
ground of the little irregularity the COM
missioners court refused to count it and
issued the cetiicate of election to Hun
nicutt.
Witt entered suit and gained IT in the
district court. It was carried to the SUI
preme court and affirmed, and motion
for a new hearing was pending in the
supreme court when the compromise, as
outlined in the beginning of this account,
was effected. Witt has made his SI5 200

What 1T BEes
THE WHITE SLAVE TRADE.
Fair Circassian Women Still Sold to Supply
Turkish Harems.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
Nine. Paschkoff, who has recently
visited the old city of Sinope of the north
ern coast OF Asia Minor, found there a
few wealthy Turks the inmates of whose
household, she says, are beautiful wo-
men of Circassia. These fayorites of the
harem are attended not only by black
slaves Of both sexes from the Soudan,
but also by older and less comelY women
from their own country. All are slaves,
boughtfo trade goods or cash, the more
fortunate among them to live in luxury
and idleness and the others to perform
the mental services of the household.
In spite of Russia's repeated prohibi
tons of the white slave trade of Circas-
STA it still seems to flourish Some years
ago it was reported that there was such
glut in the Circassian slave girl market in
Constantinople that prices had fallen
about three-fourths. Nine. Paschkoff
has given some attention to the means by
which the supply of white slaves is main
tanned.
The trade would probably cease en-
tirely were it not that it is the highest
ambition of many fair Circassian to be-
come an inmate of some luxurious harem
far away from her own land. There is
among the CIrcassians an unwritten law
that no girl shall be sold without her
consent, and the fact is that many of
them are eager to be sold, and so their
fathers do not hesitate long to accept any
tempting offer which the agents from the
slave marts may make,
AS Russian subjects Circassian girls
have no trouble in journeying under the
,oJn% l,Os,,
the Black sea port of the Caucasus.
Only one TO three are taken there at
time by an agent, and if need be they
can assume to be members of his family.
In the harem Of some important Moham-
medan at Batoum the destination OF the
girls is decided, and in very small parties
they are taken to one or another market
in the. dominions of Turkey. 1t has
been part of the policy OF Russia to
profess respect for the usages of her
MOhammedan subjects. No surveillance
worth mentioning is maintained by Rus
sla over the thousands of harems among
the MOhammedans of that vast empire
1t is therefore easy at BatOum to negoti-
ate for the purchase and sale of these
girls; and so long as the trade is quietly
conducted Russian officials seem to wink
at violations of law Of which they cannot
be ignorant, and tbHsg the harems of
IHEkey are still supplsed with their chief
ofHansHts.

The Cause of the Craving for Liquor and
How to Overcome 1t.
A correspondent writes to the New York
Sun as follows: ''You published letter of
an anonymous correspondent asking: Can
any one give me cure for drunkenness p
will, in the same way, give your CORE
spondent cure through you, if you will
publish it.
"Indulgence in spirits after rawhile-which
is longer or shorter, according to the con-
stitution of the person-produces irritation.
inflammation and fever of the stomach,
hence the craving for drink; and the great
er the fever the greater the craving AS
spirits act also on the nervous system it be-
comes impaired and the brain weakened
Who can deny that a person ailing in these
several ways is laboriug under serious
disease! He has then no will-power to eX-
erclse, because the scat of the will is in the
nervous centers, and when these are i'm
paired or destroyed so also is the will
power.
"Here is the cure: Let the person have
within his reach a small vial of the best
kind of tincture of Peruvian bark, and
when the craving for liquor comes on him
let him take teaspoonful of the tincture
every two hours. In few days the taste
for liquor is destroyed, and destroyed while

Peruvian bark is tonic. 1t is also the
BEST if not the only cure known for fever
1t is from Peruvian bark that quinine is
extracted, and, moreover, it is anti peri
odic. 1t is by these three agencies that i
destroys the craving for liquor. Any one

interested directly.
ssWhy, there isn't a better barometer in
existence than an ivory ball or good
billiard cue,'' the billiard expert replied !;
''they are better than favorite corn"

"a bali always rolls slow Snd with diff

temperature, particularly from dry to moist,
that the effect is felt almost instantaneous
". The cue viii get cranky, too, when
there is going to be change, long before
the dampness is perccptible il any other
way. Another popularity Of the ivory
globes Is their tendency to become egg
shaped. They contract at what are called
the top and bottom poles and swell out at
the sides, so that you might as well play
with potatoes If you do not watch their
iciosynerasies. They are worse than old
men Ia their susceptibility to draught. a
draaght viii crack the ivory and make it
cnip on quick as a wink, and, like old folks,
you can never get the spheres acclimated to
these draughts. Just take a billiard ball
and study ITS behavior and you can beat the
clerk OF the weather prophesying. You can
bet on your ow n prophecy every time
