GRAINS POKER STORY.
The Congressman Was Not Sho

The Congressman Was Not Shot
the First Night, and Escaped on
the Second.
Washington Star
Congressman Grain, who represents
the Galveston district of Texas, tells
some remarkable stories of poker play
ing in that state during war time. 1t
was an epoch there of lawleSSnesS and
mob rule. and personal bravery was the
quality of leadership. One night he
was playing in game with three or
four others, one of them desperate
named Boyd. The latter took advan-
tage of the cOnviviality of the proceed
ings to hold out card, and Grain saw
him do it. On the spur of the moment
Grain said Boyd, you are cheating"
1t was foolish thing to 40, unless with
pistol in hand, because it meant imme-
diate murder. But, to the surprise of
every one, Boyd simply turned very
plale, laughed. and replied: 'Crain
boards at my house, you know, and so
can't afford to shoot him."
The next evening Boyd came unin-
vited into Grains room. where some
other men were, and offered to play
Grain a game of two-handed ''freeZe-
out" The latter assented, and they sat
down at the table, while the rest drew
back their chairs and waited for the
tragedy they supposed was coming. A
few moments later Boyd again cheated
so openly that he doubtless intended to
be caught, and Grain at once charged
HIM with the ofiense. Immediately
Boyd leaped to his feet, seized two
chairs and threw them into the air. One
of them struck Boyd as it fell, and he
drew the pistol he had ready, crying:
''Craln, you hit me with chairp'
Like a FASH" says Grain. in telling
the story, my instinct as criminal
lawyer came to my aid. saw that his
purpose was to claim self-deIense in
shooting me. So, without stirring from
my seat, pointed my finger at Boyd,
who had me covered with his gun,
and said: Boyd, you know that isn't
true. L haven't touched you. If you
want to fight I'll accommodate you any
where you like and with any weapons
within an hour of this time. Let's
fight, if need be, but there's no occasion
for murderr"
Grains GOODNESS of action saved him.
and the duel never came off, because
friends interfered. He lived to secure
Boyd's acquittal of murder subse-
quently. Later on, however, Boyd was
killed with his boots on in row.

she had a most careful and in

household. Early rising and sys-
tematic bodily exercise formed part
Of each days duty, every species of
self-indnlgence was Tigidly avoided,
and the prince took long walks in all
kinds OF weather with his stately and
vigorous daughter. Laden with gifts
of food and comfort. the empress made
long expeditions OH foot to relieve dis
tress and suffering. and from her own
small allowance Of pocket money,
through strict, methodical self-denial,
she made each year handsome Christ
mas offerings at the parish church.
Many anecdotes are related of her kind
ness among the peasants. How she
would stop TO take the thorn from the
foot of the little child limping
tearfully hOmeward, or with her
own hands wheel the vegetable
laden car to its destination for some
ancient peasant dame. The little room
at the old palace remains unchanged,
and wonderful are the demonstrations
when she takes up her abode there for
a time. From all the noisy revel she
steals quietly way TO go into the little
church and kneel by her fathers tomb.

given to this empress by the German

Harper's Weekly.
Eleven months hence, namely, on
April Is, 1892, the great gambling estab-
lishment at Monaco will close its doors
forever. On that day the agreement
between the government of the princi-
pality and the world-famed hell OF
Monte Carlo expires, and there is not
the remOtest chance of its being re-
newed. 1t was the knowledge of the
present rulers determined attitude in
the matter which has alone prevented
the French government from awaiting
itself of its position as SuZeraln power
to take immediate steps toward the sup
preston Of this plague spot of Europe
steps which both President Grevy and
President Carnot have frequently been
urged to adopt, not only by popular
sentiment, but also by nearly every one
of the great monaI chieS of the old
world. G
Russia, Germany, Italy and Great
Britain have been particularly pressing
in the application to the Paris govern
ment to put stop to the scandal. and
it may safely be averred that Queen
Victoria would never have condo
scended to pay such marked and
gracious attention during her recent
stay at Grasse 10 tie Prince and Princess
of Monaco had she not received salts
factory assurances concerning the ap-
preaching close of the gambling palace
at Monte Carlo.

stern old lady had Indignantly refused
the bouquets and baskets of flowers
sent to her by the late Prince Charles

received the reigning prince and prin-
cess at GrasSe with all the honOrs due
10 sovereignS, but even went so far as
to send, first her ambassador, the Earl
Lytton, and day later her daughter,
Princess Beatrice. with Prince Batten-
berg. to return the visit at Monte Carlo.
Prince Albert, whose marriage a
couple of years ago with the en0r-
mously wealthy widow, the Duchess de
Richelieu, daughter of the New Or
leans and Partisan banker Heine, has
enabled him to dispense with the $780,
coo annually contributed toward the
civil list of the sovereign of Monaco by
the management of the Monte Carlo
Casino. has already notified the latter
that he has no intention of renewing
the lease; and accordingly M.:Blanc and
his two brOthers-in-law, Prince Roland
B0naparte and Prince Constantine Rad

already perfected their arrangements
for the transfer of their operations to
Andorra, the little Pyrenean republic
on the Franco-Spanish frontier line.
Under their auspices a company emil
