\ Clever Little Poker Yarn with ReaO-
nant Moral.
Young men ought not to play poker
or old men, for that raatter-at any
time, and when poker is played in
business hours the Nervousness of the
act is fragrant. So, says the New York
Press, when President Warren Elliott,
of the Wilmington & Weldon railway,
came unexpectedly upon group of
his young men playing poker, with
coffee beans for chips, the other day,
he accepted their explanation that
there was no work on hand and the
game was ''just for amusement" At
some remote period of his existence
Mr.. Elliott had been initiated into the
intricacies of the game, and so he drew
up a chair and watched it with inter
est. Each young man had in front of
him pile of coffee beans, which, as
they were careful to explain to the
president, were of no value whatever.
As a matter of fact, they had been
bought of the banker for twenty-five
cents each. The president of the road
watched the game with mild interest,
and from time to time absently helped
himself to 4 pinch of beans from the
different piles on the table, masticat-

man who knew that unground coffee
was only forty cents a pound The an
Euish of the young men, who saw their
chips melt away, was poignant, but
nobody dared to explain. When the
president had consumed all the beans
in sight he said good night in the most
affablc way and went off with an inno-
cent smile on his rosy, cheerful face
The gentleman who kept the bank and
had no chips to redeem is now n warm
ndmirer of the president.

The Kind of whisky They ';oid In Lead-
vinc in Early Days
As three men were standing in front
of the bar of Smithfield street saloon
the other day, says the Pittsburgh Dis
patch, one picked up the glass of
whisky that was placed before him
and, tasting 1t, made a face that looked
as if he had taken poison. my, but
that's rank stuff said he, as he put
down his glass and wiped off his mouth
with his handkerchief. ''That's almost
as bad as the whisky we got out west
during the great gold and silver excite
ment. 1 remember in Leadville there
was wag kept a saloon who did not
try to disguise the quality of the liquor
that passed over his bar, but rather
made careful preparations for the
effects that he knew it would cause.
1t is said that tenderfoot once came
in and asked for whisky. He was
passed bottle and glass. Then, to
his surprise, the bartender placed a
small whisk broom by the side of the
bottle. OF course he was puzzled, but
he poured out his drink and drank it
slowly, unwilling 20 profess ignorance
in the ways of the wild west and think
ing that some person might come to
his rescue. The door opened and he
saw the man who saved him. A big,
burly fellow, bristling with revolvers
and bowie knives, stepped in the door
and, going up to the bar, ordered
whisky in voice that seemed to come
from somewhere below the cellar. A
bottle and glass were passed to him
and, as before, whisk broom was
added to the layout. The tenderfoot
watched the man carefully. Hepoured
out a good-sized glassful, then, after
gulping it down, quietly picked up the
whisk broom and, going over to a cor
ner of the room, brushed away the sand
from a portion of the floor. He then
lay down and had fit. But,@of course,
all the whisky we got out there was
not as bad as that"

1.-THE poor and ignorant class of
Mexicans have an uncanny religious
superstition about smallpox" said a
traveller to a st. Louis Republic man.
t'On recent visit to the interior of
Mexico 1 saw mothers carrying around
in their arms babies whose little bodies
were almost eaten up by smallpox. 1
wasof course shocked at the frightful
spectacle, and even offered one deluded
mother money if she would take her
terribly afflicted child home and call
in a physician to attend it. But she re-
fused my proffer with scorn and began
to Groom some weird incantation as she
tenderly caressed the little half-clad
learned that the ignorant class of Mex
leans consider an outbreak of the rcd
pest in their miserable novels n vista
tion of Divine wrath for some sin they
have committed. So set are they
in this belief that they will do moth
ing whatever to check the ravageS
of the disease except when it attacks
their infants. to take the victims in
their arms, press them closely to their
breasts and pray devoutly and contin-
uously to God to forgive them for their
wicl1edness. OF course the smallpox
runs its course after awhile, though
never before claiming several members
of every family as victims; but not un-

Quaint Old white 1eetine-Houses

In the midst of the prevailing craze
for odd and bizarre styles of architec-
ture, it is pleasing to come across a
plea for the simple and homely build
ings such as contented our forefathers.
William Henry Bishop, in an article in
Century, in which ne gives his expert
ences while searching for summer
home in upper New England in the
form of an abandoned farm, SAYS:
1.-Two small white meeting-houses
show their Christopher Wren steeples
complacently. Time has been when
all these white country meeting houses
alike seemed to freeze the imagination
with their coldness; but times change,
and we with them. The charming
grace and lightness of design that
many of them possess have been rec
their whiteness is refresh
ing spot amid the greenery; in short,
they are coming back into favor again,
with the many other nice old-fash-
ioned things of the period, and the in
vasion of Gothic chapels that succeed
ed them had better look well to the se-
curity of its domination

THE EvERLAcTING CLUB.
An Odd Organization That Continued in
Session tile Year Around.

An Odd Organization That Continued in
Session tile Year Around.
Addison in one OF his papers de-
scribed the Everlasting club. 1t con-
sisted of hundred members, who di-
vided the whole twenty-four hours
among them in such q manner that the
club sat day and night from one end of
the year to another, no party presum-
ing to rise until they were relieved by
those who We're in course to succeed
them. BY this means a member of the
Everlasting club never wanted COM
pany; for though he was not upon duty
himself he was sure to find some who
were; SO that if he were disposed to
take whet, incoming, an evenings
draught, or bottle after midnight he
went to the club and found a knot of
friends to his mind. 1t was Il maxim
in this Climb that the steward never
died; for as they succeeded one ano ther
by way of rotation, no man was to quit
the great elbow-chair which stood at
the upper end of the table, till his sue
cessor was in readiness to fill it; inso-
much that there had not been Il sede
vacante in the memory of man. This
club was instituted about the middle
of the English civil wars, and con-
tinued without interruption until the
time of the great London fire in 1866.
The steward at that time maintained
his post till he had liked to have been
blown up with Il neighboring house;
and would not leave the chair at last
until he had cmptied all the bottles on
the table and received repeated di-
rections from the club to withdraw
himself.

A BICYCLE VICTORY.
The Right Of the Roadway Defined
by a st. Paul Judge.

ST.. Paul, MINI, Nov. Gin a
decision just handed down the Sup
RENE Court gives bicycle riders all
rights of the general thoroughfares
granted TO other vehicles. The test
case was that of n. A. Thompson,
whose horse ran away at the sight of
bicycle ridden by W. III. Dodge,
the buggy of Mr. Thompson being
demolished and Mr.. Thompson in
jured. The latter brought the suit
for damages, alleging that the
bicyclist had no right in the road.
Judge Buck says in his decision
against Mr.. Thompson: Bicycles
are vehicles used now extensively for
convenience, recreation, pleasure and
business, and the riding of them
upon the public highway in the
ordinary manner as is now done is
neither unlawful or prohibited. Be
cause the plaintiff chooses to drive a
horse hitched to a carriage, it does
not give to him the right to dictate
to others their mode of CONVEYANCE
upon a public highway where the
rights Of each are equal"

DISCIPLES OF CHRIST.
Adherence to the Written Word in
All Matters of Faith.

The Disciples of Christ have an in
teresting history. The religious move
ment popularity known in many parts
alton" of the nineteenth century, be-
gan to develop under the labors of
Alexander Campbell and his colabor-
ers about 1910 in western Pennsylva-
mia, Ohio, Virginia, and Kentucky.
These Jealous men were convinced
that the main cause of the deplorable
divisions in Christendom was the
man made creed of the churches, and
that these divisions would disappear
if Christians would take the Bible
alone as the only authoritative and
all-sufficient rule of faith and conduct.
They began TO preach Christian union
upon the New Testament basis, with
this motto: "Where the Bible speaks,
we speak; where the Bible is silent,
we are silent" They labored for the
restoration of the primitive Apostolic
Cbristianity-its faith, its ordinances,
and its life. They taught that faith
in the heart that Jesus is the Christ,
the Son of the living God, was the
primitive Christian creed, that Christ
ian baptism (by immersion of the
penitent believer in water, and the
Lords Supper, were the divinely ap-
pointed ordinances of the Apostolic
Church, and that the model of Christ
ian conduct is the life of our divine
Lord. The Disciples are liberal in their
views on the Lords Supper, as they
claim the New Testament is; and they
allow the utmost liberty to the indi-
vidual believer in all matters of opin-
ion, but insist upon strict adherence
TO the written Word in all matters of
faith
Prominent divines interviewed in
the United States and England, de-
clare there is positively nothing new
in the faith of Disciples OF Christ.

"Churches and chapels of various
