Not So Very Drunk.

Gus De Smith was pretty drunk on
Sunday, wasn't hep" inquired Col.
Plumbottle of Sile Pendergast
"oh, no, not so very. Who said he
was drunk? Gus was little full, but
don't like TO call him drunk"
But the boys all say he was para
lyzed, and that he drove up to Birdie
McHennepin's on n wood rack and
wanted her to go riding with him. l
should call that pretty drunk"
That! Oh, that's nothing for Gus
l saw him do worse than that once,
and didn't call him SO very drunk"
What did you see him do worse
than that?"
why saw the boys give him 2
cents and a cuspidor and send him out
after beer. Some folks might think
Gus was drunk then, but ! didn't
think he was so very drunk"

The Ex-Czar at Poker.

About two years ago Congressman
Reed learned the fascinating game of
poker. He has become quite an adept
at the game. He likes it. When not
otherwise engaged he likes to take a
hand every night in company with a
few congenial spirits They say he is
a most excellent buffer. 1t is well
known that on demand of one-tifth of
the members of the house a roll call
must be ordered by che presiding Off
Ger. Whether n roll call is desired is
generally ascertained by a show of
hands. The general phrase used by
the presiding officer is Evidently a
sufficient number, and the yeas and
nays are ordered.
A few nights ago Reed was engaged
in a game of poker. There was very
luscious jack pot and Reed and an
other player were contending for it
They raised each other several times,
and at last Reed called" his opponent
What have you?" said Reed.
-Four kings" said his opponent.
Evidently a sufficient number, I"

fellow rakel in the chips Omaha

An important Point.


Judge Noonan of San Antonio put
the usual questions to a man who had
been found guilty of murder.
DO you know any reason why sem

you according to law?"
The doomed man reflected for a few
moments and then said:

reason. My lawyer didn't have any.

ing circumstances in my case"
ITO what mitigating circums tances
do you refer2" asked the judge.
"You see, he didn't tell the jury that
the mercury on the day shot that
man was log in the shade"
"And what's there mitigating about
that?"
You know very we'll, Judge, that
when a murder is committed in the
heat of the moment it is only man
slaughter, and when 1 shot that man
it was in the hottest part of the day,
SO you see it couldn't have been a
cold, deliberate murder"
Judge Noonan then passed sentence
on the man, but his attorney is going
