HENRY cLATs POKER PLAYING.
sons Stories That Recall tho Old Gan

That Is the very table at which
Henry Clay used TO lose the greater
part Of his Congressional salary" )" saie
an old Washington gambler. The
game he used to play was one In which
the blind was so cents and 81 to come
in. There was no limit In those days,
as there generally is to-day. A man
could. however, demand a sight for hi,
money. Clay's antagonist was gener.
ally a man named Bright, and both
preferred to play two-handed game.
The cards were cut one day and Clay
got the first deal. He was a better
card-shuffler than lives to-day. He
could hold bis hands four feet apar,
and fy the cards from one 10 the other
without single card falling. Gen.

ment and not for gain. and as be was
careless about bis bets he generally
came out the loser. He almost always
straddled the blind. and whatever
hand he held would raise the bet of his
antagonist. lie used ~ bluff a great
deal. and as this would soon be found
out be would come out loser.
FOR nearly two hours the night ]
speak Of Clay had been having his own
way with Bright. He held king full
four times running and then had
a jack full. Bright did his best to
catch Clay in bluff, but IL was Of no
use. Clay had hand that could be
beaten only by fours. The play began
at 5 o'clock and by 1890 Bright had
lost $500 aud had borrowed $500
from John Hancock. After that Clay's
luck vanished, and by midnight he had
lost all his winnings and $1,000 be.
sides-all the cash he had with him.
1T was Saturday night aud Bright
proposed that they quit so they could
go to church 10 the morning, but Clay
wouldn't have 1t. So he borrowed
$500 from Bright and let the game 90
on, The game was continued, and by
daylight he owed Brigh. 1880. He
liquidated the debt by giving Bright a
deed for 320 acres Of Kentucky land
aud six shares Of stock In q Louisville
bank.
Clay went to church all the same
that morning. While he was talking

Evils of Promiscuous Bathing.

As sec them thus arrayed--or disar-

girl will soon begin to calculate the
effect OF what some one lately called
''artistie baroness" on the mind OF
masculinity. and the man to be too
conscious OF the value OF muscle and
calf which he exposes.
As the mouthpiece Of the crowds
who come to witness these exhibitions,
let me quote the little girl who, in the
innocence Of her heart, asked her
mother IF she might take of her dress
and play In her underclothes like the
ladies did on the beach"
After the bath these young peopls
settle themselves on the sand for per-
haps an hour or so, rarely having any
ehsperon or older person with them.

childish creature should be thrown in

companionship with one OF the oppo-

retain these graces in such an atmos-

THE ST. PAUL ELECTION.

Our friends in st, Paul are having a
warm time politically just now. The
most indifferent member Of our sister
ssity can fed more time to discuss
NE issues of the day now than ever be-
tore. II is safe to say that never in the
history of the city has there been such a
warm fight for local Offices as the one
Ethat is about to close. The fight is an
nneq ual one-the heavy artillery being
81 the Democratic side. Mayor Smith
will be elected by very large majority,
while the balance of the ticket will be
splaoed in office without much trouble.
The reputation of Col. Kiefer, the Re-
publican candidate for mayor, by the
Pioneer Press, because of the colonels
business troubles, has sealed the head
u the Republican ticket. It was I'M
fortunate for the Republican ticket that
The party organ should desert them in
the eleventh hour. Col. Kiefer's chal-
lenge to the voters of st. Paul to prove
the charges against him, is likely to have
4 bad effect on him. The present lndl-
cations are that the Democrats will carry
everything before them. The only
question now is the majority that will
@lrown the ticket.
