a DANGEROUS GAME OF BLUFF.

Nerve Displayed by a Theatrical Manager
! in FooIhardy Feat
Sam T. Jack is a splendid buffer
said a gentleman from Kansas yester-
day. 81 remember him best when he
was travelling through Kansas with a
burlesque road company. He once struck
Dodge City with q big opera bouffe
troop. 1t was yearS ago, when Dodge
City was at the very verge of civiliza-
tion-just hanging on to the edge, as it
were. There was 40 regular show
house, and no decent hotel. There was
plenty of money, though, and that
brought Jack and his company. The
town was full Of cowboys and roughs,
: and they all determined to see the show
and incidentally have some sport with the
management.
"Mr. Jack learned this and realized the
necessity Of impressing the natives with
q due sense of his awfulness as a fighter
before the show began. At that. time
one Peter Mccarthy was the deputy
sheriff of Dodge City, and was a reason
ably efficient officer. For this reason it
was hat he felt in duty bound to warn
Mr.. Jack of the awful possibilities of
exhibiting himself on the streets of
Dodge City in a white plug hat and a
fancy vest. The well meaning deputy
sheriff affected to despise tenderfeet,
but because of this feeling of official
responsibility which sentiment was
doubtless more thoroughly aroused at
the thought of a possible free seat at
the show-he started in to give Jack
timely warning, and began his remarks
as follows: 30
"'Be you the show boss?' asked Pete.
"tI am, SIR was the reply.
"'You all allow to act out in the town
hall tonight, l reckon
ayes, sir
"fYou goin y'se'1p
Eyes, sir
"'Be you goin to rustic around town

"fWell,' said Mr.. Jack, who had be-
come tired of being catechised, if you
will submit your questions in writing
provided you can writeI will lay Oft q
day and frame my answers for you, but
let me ask a question. Why do you want
to know whether 1 will rustic or no, and
why this pointed reference to my
Greeley hatY .
"'Wall,' responded the sheriff, a little
hot himself, "cause l KEN in hyer to
give yer a pointer; eff you do war tibet
hat down town the boys are a-waitin
fer yer and they'll shoot it chock full O.
holes. They don't low no sech tiles in
Dodge Pete then looked at Sam as
much as to say that he thought the hat
would not be worn. But the sapient
Sammy smiled serenely and said, That's
the trick, is it? Well, that's funny.
Now, if the boys in highfalutin hilaIity
should miss the hat and hit the wearer
what would be the result?
"'You jest stan your chances, but /
reckin y won't do that-it's kinder
ticklish; not but tibet the boys are good
shots, but the likker is a kinder lively
an-an-wall, they mought raise a little

writing. When he had finished he
turned to Pete, and holding in his hand
a sheet of paper asked that genius if he
could read it. Pete could and did. 1t

The crude cork to be cut by hand is first
soaked in tepid water until almost ready
to swell. In this condition it is taken ont
and turned over to the cutter Spanish
cork cutters Use three knives. One is a
long curved knife arranged with gauge
for regulating the size of the piece of the
cork cut off. This knife is used for cutting
the cork into long strips. Another and
smaller knife cuts the strips up into
blocks, and a third and very sharp knife is
used for producing the finished cork. This
knife has a blade of fine steel nearly hid
den in a jacket of iron.
The iron pocket is to give the knife rigid
ity, and the cork cutter applies not the
knife to the cork, but the cork to the knife
He rests the knife on the edge of table
and presses the cork down upon the blade.
The tendency of this is to curve the blade,
and curved blade would produce hol-
low cork. German and American cork
cutters use a thin knife, which comes from
the factory straight, bnt is bent by the
cork cutters themselves. The curved side
is turned up in working, and the result is
that the kink straightens under the pres
sure of the cork, and the latter is cut
straight and not concave.
The cork cutter always has milestone
on his table and strap upon his knee
He applies the knife to the strap after each
cork is cut, and less frequently to the
milestone. Cork has Il peculiar power Of
dulling the sharp steel with which it is
cut-New York Sun.

jar of the prettiest yellow butter seen
from the country. 1t looked like
cream, but it was as salty as brine,
full of large Jumps of salt and utterly
unfit for table use. Strange that
people who know how to make such
fine butter will spoil it with coarse
salt. One ounce Of fine salt 10 the
pound is the proper proportion.
Some of our dealers are handling
creamery butter from the North to

much of the white, puffy, highly
sailed country butter at % cents.
