PROF. ]. B. VIM
Resigns as superintendent Of the Austin
Public Schools.

Public SCHOOLS.
The city school board was in session
last afternoon and transacted great
deal of routine business. Among the
most important business done was the
appointment of Mr.. Walter Crawford
to the chair of scieAce in the high
school. Miss Roosevelt and Miss Kelly
were also elected teachers in the high
school
A committee was appointed to draft
suitable resolutions on the death of
Capt. S. G. Sneed.
The fact of Professor VIM rendering
Ills resignation as perintendent OF
the public schools IVES also brought up
by committees report advising the
acceptance of the same. The resigpa'
tior, does not go into effect, however,
until the expiration of the scholastic
year next spring. Professor Winn has
always proven himself an efficient
officer and the board and the citizens
of Austin beth dislike very much to
see him tender his resignat ZION. Profess
sor VIM deems it necessary, however,
as his health is failing.

How Jersey Politician Was Finally

How Jersey Politician Was Finally
Called.
A certain very well-known New Jer-
sey politician-an old man, whose fame
extends far beyond the borders of his
own state-is celebrated as a great
buffer.
At Trenton they play quite lively
game at times, and this old man was
formerly one of the most repacious
players there. Whenever he got par
ticularly large hand he would reach
| down into his waistcoat, pull out huge
wallet slam it down on the table, and
cry:
81 raise that hundred"
As rule he scooped the pot.
Several men who had seen him do
this many times noticed that he rarely
did it except when he was reasonably
sure of winning They began to won
der what the big wallet contained, but
none of them had nerve enough to call,
as they knew the old man was a close
player who never bet unless he had
something good.

tor from Newark was in the game. The
old man evidently had good hand,
and it was a rich jack pot. The young
Newarker also had hand-a really
good one-a full house, aces high. He
sized up the old man and thought that
flush or small full was about his
size.
They raised each other for compare
lively small amounts several times.
Then the old mans hand went down
into his waistcoat and out came the
big wallet. Down it slammed on the
table and the old man shouted:
81 raise you hundred"
The young man from Newark ''slSun
his cards, looked at the old man a min
ate, and then, reaching down, he took
off long boot, looked at it carefully,
threw it upon the table and said
81 call. guess there's more leather
in my boot than in your wallet"
And so it turned out. The wallet was
empty. The old man had succeeded in
bluffng the entire crowd for months on
an empty wallet. This time the pot
went to Newark.-N. Y. Journal
