A. CHINESE POKER SHARP.
He Was Good One, and Several club
Mon are Sorry They Met Him.


Soine mischievous club men met an
Innocent looking Chinaman on Delaney
street the other night and took him in
tow. After inducing him to take sever
al drinks they escorted him to their
club house under the pretext of 'hav-
ing some fun" Well, he had it; and so
did the club men.
Once inside the building the China
man was made the target for every.
body's witticisms. These John endured
with patience Finally the men grew
tired Of this sport, and somebody sug.
gested that a game of poker be started.
Instantly the Chinamah was all atten-
ton
''Me play plokee," he said. 'Me
hlave mluch Money" and he Displayed
roll of small bills
In the hope of having more fun"
John was permitted to play. The ante
was ten cents and the limit fifty.
Quietly the game progressed for few
minutes, John in the meantime show.
ing that he was by no means novice.
At length there was stout little jack
pot ON the table and John opened it for
half dollar, and every body stayed in.
John drew three cards and SO did all
the rest with the exception of one man,
who took only one.
For time there was considerable
action, but John stood every raise until
the crowd began to get tired.
why don't you call, John?" said q
player in bantering tone.
ME nlevef calle on this hand. Me
laise fifty elent''
OF course the thing had to be ended
at some time or other, so John was fin
ally called. With grin that resembled
a slice out of watermelon he spread
out a straight royal flush of spades,
Jack high, and raked away the money.
Then he arose ana begging to be excused,
went away, although some of the play
ers insisted upon his remaining longer.
"Oh, let him CO." said one; "weve
had plenty of fun for our money. Let
the poor fellow 60"
And John went. But after he had
gone somebody picked up Johns hand
and started back in surprise.
by gracious, boysl George over
there had nine spot of spades in his
hand, because he showed it to me. Cal
discarded one and 1 had two others.
Now how did that heather get hold of
the fifth nihe spot? I'll bet he managed to
hookup the one discarded by Cal. Let's
look and see."
Hurriedly the pile of rejected cards
was run through, but there was no iiine
spot of spades among them. John had
needed that particular card in his bust
ness, and in some way unknown to his
unhappy victims had secured it without
detection IN Y. Herald.

Late advices from Paris state that
fashionable costumes will be more or

all costumes will have skirts dipping

sertion of this sort carries no especial

A pretty, simple but modish gown for
summer weather has surplice waist
with the plain overlapping edge
trimmed with valenciennes lace In
the V, formed by the folds, is talbot of
the same lace. The full sleeves are fin
ished at the hand with a full frill,
edged with valenciennes lace. The
skirt is plain and round and is finished
at the foot with broad hem. A sash
of surah silk is worn with this dainty
muslin frock.
Elegant scarfs of silk, satin, wide
ribbon, China or India crepe, finished at
the ends with lace or chiffon ruffies, are
carried over the arm with handsome
toilets. They are designed to throw
about the shoulders as a protection
from slight draft Some of them are
ornamented with hand embroidery in
oriental designs. One of white China
crepe is bordered in black guipure and
embroidered in cashmere figures. An
other of the same material is edged
with white lace and is embroidered in
an all over pattern in blue. Chicago

ON THE eoLo COAST.
Some Singular Habits and Customs Of the
Nativag.

NbIlttSs
The native habits and customs of
these extremely interesting people are
gradually reducing them to state of
absolute pauperism Among the
pernicious practices is one which reigns
as supreme to-day as it did hundreds of
years ago, by which death in his fam
lily means ruin to Gold Coast peasant.
Should he be unfortunate enough to
lose b wife, child, his father, or, more
important of all, his uncle, 'eustom"
requires him to fire off guns, to provide
rum for all corners for week after the
death, and to repeat these obligations
at an interval of six weeks, and
again after the lapse Of year.
Sacrifices of goats and sheep must
be made at the funeral, and at other
times, as directed by the fetishman, and
perhaps a fetish made for the purpose
OF laying the ghost of the deceased.
To cover all this outlay the bereaved
person generally is obliged to go to the
rich man of the place and borrow
money at fifty, seventy-fite or even a
hundred per cent. Until this is repaid
the borrower is slave and is obliged
to work two days each week for the
lender, receiving no recompense for his
labor This unfortunate condition OF
affairs may go on for years until the
debtor is fortunate enough to obtain
sufficient money to pay principal and
interest. A man may also be held re-
sponsible for the debts of his deceased
relatives, for he who makes custom"
is. invariably liable for the obligations
of the deceased. Custom, that SEEM
ingly ineradicable evil, is probably re-
sponsible for seven-eighths of the debts
of the country, and weighs like an in
cubus on its prosperity by causing a
vast amount of useless expenditure and
irhplanting in the people, from child
hood to old age, love of drink and
idleness The observances referred to
are enforced by superstition and abject
fear of the anger of the dead, of the
wrath of the fetish, and, scarcely less,
public opinion, which is sure to applaud
the man who makes what is termed
'big custom" 1t is invariably to pay
for a 'custom" that an immense pro-
portion of the land is pawned, and not
infrequently for its full value. brakes
