FARMER TRAUGER BUNcOED.

which Sh0uId Warn People Never to
Play at Another Mans Game.
About 10 o'clock last Wednesday two
Strangers drove to Trauger's and made
inquiries concerning his farm, with a
view to purchasing it. Traugar got
in his buggy and started to show the
stranger his farm. The two had not
gone far when they met man, who,
of course, stopped them and inquired
about farr,s in thai: vicinity, saying
that he was out on u hunt far farm,
ut the same time saying that he had
Il his person about 1000, and wanted
TO know whether it was safe for man

they left him, but had only driven
a short distance when the stranger sud
de, ~ stopped and remarked to Mr..
Trauger that he WAS pretty well versed
in card playing. and if he had no OBJ
iectitus they would turn around and
catch that fellow ard try and get some
of his money in 4 game Of cards. The
II an in the buggy asked him if he ever
plaved cards. and if he would not like
TO make some money.
The cards were brought forth and the
game was kept up until he, No. 2, had
lest $4,000. Mr.. Trauger and his friend
then started to drive away when No.
. called them back and wanted another
ctance. but No. ] said he had got all
he wanted and refused, but asked Mr..
| Traucer if he did not want to try his
luck. Mr.. Traugcr at first objected, but
after some persuasion he consented,
and the game began.
| Mr. Trauger picked out the card and
won the $500. He continued until he
had won $1,000, but No. 2 refused to
give him the amount until he would
| show him that he had that amount and
could have paid him in case he, No. 2,
had won. Mr. Trauger had only $500
on his person, but said if he was in
! Greensburg he could get it out Of the
bank.
No. I then said that he would drive
him to Greensburg and return with
him. and going to Greensburg Trauger
drew the money. $1,000, and on their
return it was put in tin box, in which
No. 2 had placed his $1,000. and which
he closed up end locked, aud after
some time handed to Mr.. Trauger what
he thought was the same box, but
" hich he had changed.
No. / Their told Mr.. Trauger to take
the box with the money home and
place it in safe. and he world go to
Pittsburg and return in the morning
and buy his farm They then left Mr..
Trauger. and in the evening he broke
open the box. only to find that it was
filed with pieces If old papers and a
note telling that he had been fooled,
and advising him to say rothing about

THE HIGHEST AWARD,

Royal baking Powder Has All the
Honors, in Strength and Value,
20 Per Cent Above Its Nearest Conn
petitOr.
The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviable record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class.
Greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly combined, wherever ex-
hibited in competition with others. In
the exhibition of former years at the
Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at
various state and industrial fairs,
where it has been exhibited, judges
have invariably awarded the Royal
Baking Powder the highest honors. At
the recent Worlds Fair the examina-
tons for the baking powder awards
were made by the experts of the chem
ical division of the agricultural depart.
ment at Washington. The official re.
port Of the tests of the baking powders
which were made by this department
for the special purpose Of ascertaining
which was the best and which has
been made public, shows the leavening
strength Of the Royal to be 100 cubic
inches of carbonic gas per ounce Of
powder OF the cream Of tartar baking
powders exhibited the next highest In
strength thus tested contained but 1873
cubic inches OF lesvening gas. The
other powders gave an average Of III.
The Royal, therefore, was found Of 20
per cent greater leavening strength
than its nearest competitor and A per
cent above the average Of all other
tests. Its superiority in other respects,
however, in the quality Of the food It
makes as to fneness, delicacy and
wholesomeness could not be measured
by figures. 1t is these high qualities,
known and appreciated by the women
Of the country for so many years, that
have caused the sales Of the Royal
Baking Powder, as shown by statistics,
to exceed the sale Of all other baking
powders combined.

regulation, for if there is any
one thing which the Next
can regards us one OF his
most cherished privileges it
is to carry a l3-inch knife, pistol.
sword, cane or whatever he pleases,
about with him for company's
sake. He considers this as one of
the features of the liberty which
he enjoys, and as there is no moro
reckless or deadly knifer than the
Mexican peon, especially when in
at safe of pulque saturation, the
gendarmes are having an alto
gether lively time of it. and are
constantly met with open defiance
of the law.
President DiaZ desires to official
ly deny through the medium of the
foreign press, recent publications
regarding the forfeiture of land,
other than mines, held by aliens in
Mexico. The statement. made was
that an alien property holder would
lose his Mexican possessions by alb
senting himself with his family
from the country for more than
two years without previous per-
mission of the government; by
residing permanently abroad
without leaving a representative
or attorney to look after his
property and represent him, or by
transferring the title to real estate
to any nonresident of the republic.
There was such law at one time
in force in Mexico, but it has now
been repealed for several years.
The only restrictions on the hold.
ing of real estate in Mexico by
foreigners apply to lands along
the border and on the coast, which
are in force purely as protective
military measure.
An interesting question of a
spOrtiVe-moral nature, which is
agitating the public mind in the
City of Mexico just at present, is
the proposed revival of bull fight
ing in the capital. The leading
Spanish daily of the city urges that
license be granted for the winters
tournament on the ground that bull
fighting helps to diminish crime.
The paper does not state its rea-
sons, however, in advancing this
rather startling theory. The
management of the fights is
willing to pay to the mu-
nicipality the sum Of $4,000, if the
season is successful one, and this
is proving very tempting factor
in favor of the fights, on the part
of the authorities. Just how pOpu-
lar bull fighting could again be-
come in the increasingly cultured
Mexican metropolis is hard to fore
tell. The president and Mrs. DiaZ
are greatly opposed to these bloody
exhibitions and carry with them a
constantly increasing following of
the leading society people, who will
not give their supporting
presence to such brutality.
But the main thing which is
working against the revival of the
ancient and popular Spanish rec
reation is the Inauguration by
Northern hOrsemen of a regular
season of winter races, beginning
with the Derby on December 3.
The sporting world and society in
general cannot successfully pursue
more than one fad at a time, and
as the City of Mexico is on the qui
vive of interest regarding this inn
ported American innovation, the
appearance is that the horse race
will supercede the bull fight, and
the agile matadOr step down and
out forever in favor of the jockey.
