The Palais Bourbon. the Palais du Corps
Legislatif. the Chambre des Deputies.
Those are the names by which this
famous monument are marked.
The first Is the title of nobility. the sec
ond is the title administrative, the third Is
the title OF the populace. the chamber
The chamber has its cabinets and its bu-
reaus-it changes one when it chooses, it
changes the other at fixed periods.
The citizens or the country decide when
the FIST shall be done. they send their rep
resentatives to babble, to write their cor
respondence. to sleep on their budgets and
to make what they can out Of II. They
elect their represen tatives to suit their own
sweet pleasure. and. really. they don't pay
dear for what they get. They glory In the
reports OF their delegates and they find
them working with patriotic ardor indulg-
Ing In the most heated language in the dis
cussion Of their rights and each striving
his utmost to acquire a bit of territory
from his ne!ghbor. In this the French
chamber Is just the same as every other
representative body.
The Palais bourbon.
The original Palais Bourbon was erected
IN liz by an Italian architect who flourish
ed under the name OF Girardini, and 1t was
built In the Rue de TUniversite. The pres
ent Grecian structure at the end Of the
Bridge Concorde dates from the frst en-
pire- 1t was constructed by Bernard Poyet,
who will always be celebrated in the history
OF contemporaneous art by the aggressive
originality Of his style and opinions. He
was the architect Of the Duke d Orleans, of
the Baron de BreteuiI and of the archbishop
under the king.
Poyet was a man Of expsdients; he was a

A TRUE POKER STORY.
An Ex-senator Who Made n High
Bluff on a BObtail Flush.

From the Albany Express.
This is true poker story. The incident hap
pened not long ago on an Albany boat
bound down from the capital to New York.
The game was that in which the man with
the most money had the best of It. That is,
there was no limit, and the players coming
in were forced to lose unless they called
a bet. In the party playing were an OK
senator, three assemblymen and a physi-
clan. The hand with which this story has
to do saw all the players in. All drew
cards, the ex-senator drawing one and a
certain assemblyman next to him taking
three. The others drew also and the bet
ting commenced. 1t progressed steadily
until something like 800 was in the pot.
Suddenly the ex-senator planked $500 down
on a raise. The big bet scared out all Lut
the certain assemblyman. He looked at
his cards for a long time. studied the ex-
senator's face and nervously saw the 900
and raised 1t 500. There was a forced
smile on the face of the ex-senator. He
quickly saw the 500 and raised 1t $780,
The assemblyman looked sick, but he rut
down 500 and feebly said Il call" The
show down revealed the fact that the ex-
senator had a king high bobtail nush while
the assemblyman held pair Of deuces The
ex-senator said something to himself and
went to his stateroom. The rest of the
party remained UP all night and a goodIy
part of the $500 and over in the pot was
spent in quart bottles. 1t is said the ex-
senator has never bluffed in a game since.

The Great Duelist.
When Paul de Cassaquac mounts the trib-
une the ladies occupying the front row of
seats in the gallery applaud wildly, franti-
cally. like the classic vestals in an ancient
arena. The greatest duelist is the greatest
favorite in Paris.
The language of the deputies is generally
picturesque, historical and extravagant.
They love to indulge in heroics and national
honor. the grandeur Of the tri-color and
similar spread eagleism always constitutes
the peroration of every speech. And It is
ever duly recognized by applause regard
less OF the venerable condition of the words
the sentiment or the metaphor If the right
refers to the massacre of September, or
those OF St Bartholomew, then the left is
understood to make allusion to the reyo-
cation of the edict of Nantes, or throw out
a suggestion as to responsibility for the as
sasination of the hostages.
The 18th Brumaire and the % of Decem-

and In revenge they shout back references
