NOT MUCH OF A PLAYER
But the Mississipian Knew the ValI
of Two Pairs of Aces.

But the MiSsisSipian Knew the Value
of Two Pairs of Aces.
When Governor Lowrey of Mississippi
was in this city some time ago he very
cleyerIy took in few friends with whom
he sat one evening in a friendly game OF
draw, says the Washington Post. The
Governor and a party OF ladies and gen.
tlemen were being entertained at an even
Ing tea, and after the menu had been dis
cusSed the gentlemen withdrew to the
library, where cards and chips were soon
produced and in use. Governor LoWrey
said he knew nothing about the game, SO
while his friends tried their luck the
Southern Executive remained in the par
lor and entertained the ladies. Later in
the evening the Governor dritted In the
poker-room and was prevailed upon to
play the hand OF one of the gentlemen for
lew minutes. AS the Governor sat
down he reminded his friends again that
he knew nothing about the game. There
was jack pot on the table which had
gone around several times. Hands were
dealt, the pot was opened and the play
passed around to the Governor. be didn't
seem TO know whether to pass or not. DE
studied his hand for several minutes,
then. showing a card. asked the man next
to him whether it was king or jack.
THAT'S a king, Governor" replied the
keullenan.
Then the Governor produced a queen
and remarked: II take it that this IS a
queen. Am / correctW lie was IN
formed that it was and then very delib-
erately putting up his money he called
Tor one card.
The gentleman who had opened the pot
had three mines and failed TO better his
hand on the draw. He thought he had
lead-pipe cinch on the pot, and sized up
the Governor as having two pair-kingS
and queens. He thought the Governor
had found cards like the king and queen
he had shown and was drawing for full.
He was somewhat taken back when the
Governor raised the bet and fearing that
the Governor did not know that two pair
were not very good, he called his atten-
ton to the fact.
"Oh, go ahead" said the Governor,
''we'll play this out, anyway"
The Governor kept raising until finally
the gentleman with the three mines
weakened and called. Then the Gov
ernor proudly laid down four aces, and
everybody yelled. He had held three
aces all the time, flashed his king and
queen for bluff, then drew one card and
caught another ace. The gentleman who
held the three mines says he will never sit
in a game again with a man who knows
nothing about it.

Not If She Knew It.

A few weeks ago a railway collision
killed, among others, passenger living
in a country town. His remains were
sent home, and few days after the fu-
neral the solicitor to the company called
upon the widow to effect a settlement.
She placed her damages at $4,000.
''Oh, that sum is unreasonable" re-
piled the solicitor. "Your husband was
nearly 80 years old?"
Eyes, sir"
"And lame?"
"Yes."
'And his general health was poor?"
very"
"And he probably would not have lived
more than five years?"
Probably not, sir.''
'Then it seems to me that 5e400 or $500
would be fair compensation"
-Four or five hundred" she echoed.
"Why, sir, l courted that man for ten
years, ran after him for ten more, to get
him TO marry me. Do you suppose that
I'm going to settle for bare cost Of shoe
leather and ammunition?"
The man of law concluded that she de-
served all she could get.-Spare Monthly.

Dona.s for Young People.

Don't forget that marriage is the
foundation of a new family, not the
union of two old ones,
Don't marry one whose tastes and
ideals in life are SO different from
your own that there could never be
singleness of aim and purpose in the
home.
Don't marry anybody till satisfied
that life together will be bearable
and enjoyable as long as both shall
live.
Don't expect marriage to make a
great change in the habits and aims
of a young manor a young woman
either.
Don't try to win love by fatoery.
Don't allow yourself to be Won in
that way.
Don't try to buy love by rich and
numerous gifts; love got in that way
is not worth having, for it is not
love at all.
Don't take anybody that comes
along and offers himself, through
fear that there may not be another
chance. Infinitely better single life
than a married existed full of
Wretehedness and misery.
Don't marry for physical beauty
alone; for unless mated with beauty
of mind and spirit, it is truly an
apple of ashes.
Don't forget when married, that
mutual forbearance is the keynote OF
lifelong happiness.

Household Hints,

Permanganate of potash is cheap
and useful disinfectant. 1t is crys-
tai, SO is easily carried when travel
ing; and one ounce dissolved in warm
water will make bucketful of disin-
fectant.
The juice of one lemoa with an
ounce of distilled water and a tea
spoonful of borax is an efficacious
lotion for sunburn.
Black lace can be freshened to look
like new by washing in ammonia and
water, and rinsing in cold coffee or
green tea. Shake or snap till partly
freed from moisture, and stretch
upon black wooden stuff to dry. Pick
out the scallops and edges carefully.
A drop of honey and sweet oil upon
bit of cotton is the best remedy
known for painful earache.

THE COMING HAT.
Latest FancEful Design of the ParE

Latest Fanciful Design of the ParE-
sian Milithers.
From the Baltimore Sum-
Turn it squarely up in the front,
give it another twist in the back, let
fly at it some jaunty brilliant bows,
a plume or two and an aigrette and
you have the coming hat.
There is three-cornered look
about many of the hats that sug
gests the old cooked hats of times
gone by, but by the time the velvet
and feathers and ornaments have
been added the suggestion disap-
pears in a measure and only tse
general turnedupness remains. The
coming hat, it must be admitted,
does run a little to extremes, but it
is quite wearable, for al that, and
will only require little courage to
brave the turned up front and get
used to it. At first one is somewhat
puzzled to know which is the front
but little experience soon sets mat
tgrs straight, and there are usually
strings on the hats which determine
the direction, for no milliner has as,
yet gone SO far as to tie the strings
from the front. The suddenness at
the turns and twists, whether Of
back, front or sides, takes the be-
holder by surprise, and there is alto
gether a saucy and a perky" air
about them that is bound to delight
wOmankind

Poor CrOps i'm Indiana.

Two months have elapsed since
rain has fallen in northern, central
and eastern Indiana in any apprecia-
BILE quantity. The corn crop will be
short everywhere, and in many sec
tions will be almost an entire failure.
Pastures are so dry that farmers are
being compelled to feed their cat
tie. Flowing for fall wheat will be
delayed, as the ground breaks up in
immense clods. Potato bugs and
drought have almost ruined late po-
tatOes in many counties. All fruit is
extremely scarce, and many trees set
out during the fall and spring of the
year have suCcumbed to the drought.
All the smaller streams have almost
entirely dried up, and even the Wa
bash river, the largest in the State
is not hing but small stream with
scarcely any current.

what the Hunorist Does When Re

The Washington Evening News

befallen Col. Bill Nye, the humorist
who is so prolific a contributor to
the newspapers, and who is farming
some where in Western North Caro-
lima. His land slid away from the
hill and he lost it ALL The News
announces that at last Bill has got
the farm back on the hill but it was
turned over in moving. 1t says;
1.-THE bottom of his well is now
even with the surface of the ground,
and when he wants apples from his
orchard he has to bore for them,
only the roots of the trees being
visible. 1t is indeed sad to see adj

Coarse kindness is at least better
