River Gambling For High Stakes.

said W. d. Camera, a travelling man,
the other day. II remember a great
game once played on the steamboat
Bluff City. which afterward burned at
the wharf in ST. Louis. 1t was in the
antebellum days. when Kansas City
was comparatively unknown.
"At n table the fight for a big pot
had narrowed down to two men-one
an inyeterate gambler, the other a
stranger, whose destination was the lit
tie town of Robidoux. Presently the
gambler said, III raise you $50, 600
and give you just 10 minutes to call
me. The gentleman who was going to
Robidoux replied: Idon't need 10 min

OF money from your Office to see the
gentleman aud go him $50, 900 better,
and l will give him 80 minutes to call

hand, and the stranger made him a

The Farmers Strategy.

Who says that the New Jersey farmer is
a stupid being, the natural prey of the
bunko sharp, slow of con apprehension and in
capable of guile? Let him read this story
and learn.
Uncle Dave Henni.m of Sussex county
needed water fer his stock and began to
sink q well. The soil of his paternal acres
was hard and dry, ard the job proved a
long n tedious one. He had at last struck
water, and the well was ready to line,
when, elias, 1t caved In, with a crash, and
the labor of a week WAS brought to nought.
For n few minutes Hennion stood in mute
despair. Then he had an inspiration. He
took off his coat aud hat and laid them on
the brink of the ruined well. This done, he
hid himself In a n~eighboring haystack and
awaited Developments.
1t was not long before a neighbor passed
by. Seeing the collapsed sides of the well
and the coat and cap, he not unnuturaliy
concluded that the lpckless Hennion had
been caught in the collapse and was lying
buried beneath the fallen earth.
He ran to call assistance, and soon the
whole countryside had gathered at the
spot, and half "A dozen sturdy hands were
digging fITaitically at the well, eager to
rescue the unfortunate victim of the catas-
trophe or at least to restore his corpse to
his bereaved family. 1t was early In the
morning when they began. Toward night
the work WAS done. The would be rescuers
had reached the bottom of the well, but
found not u trace of Hennion. They went
home, tired and puzzled. When they were
well out of sight, the guileless farmer
emerged from his hiding place, hungry, but
smiling and thankful that human SYM
pathy had not entirely vanished from the
face of the earth.-Munsey's Magazine,
