The Young Man with the Downy Beard
and the Games He Played.
He was a young man. with q dcwny
beard, who had come OF an evening
train Instead Of going ont with other
passengers, he hunted up the special Off
Ger and said:
II want little information. WheI
/ Twas coming in. a man sat down beside
me in the smoking car and took out
three cards and began to throw 'em
about-like this One was an ace, and
he said he'd bet me IS couldn't pick
out that card after he'd thrown 'em
around. 1t was a game. wasn't it?''
"Of course it was!' replied the Off
Ger. HE was three card monte man,
and you ought to have known better
than to put up your money How much
did you lose?"
"Oh, / didn't losel bet him three
times and made $l5. All wanted to
know was what they call the game. I'll
write the name down before l forget 1t.
Three card monte. l see! Then the fell
low did something else. He pulled ont
three little cups and q pea and mixed
'em all up and wanted to bet me !

The fellow seemed to be greatly discour-
aged about something, but he got out a
pack Of cards and asked me if ! could
play poke-poke"-
''You mean pokerT
"Perhaps do Is that gamer

cards, took some himself and then said
he'd bet &5 ON his hand. i, said I'd bel

TOWARD PEACE.
Uncle Sam Called Upon to Med
late Between China
and Japan.
At Last China Admits That She Was To-
tally Unpr~pared for war-Our
Treaty Invoked.

WAsHISGToS. Nov. l0.-Events of the
last SIX days in which officials and diplo-
mats Of Washington have participated
lead them TO believe that peace between
China and japan will be concluded at
an early day. China has at last relunc!-
antly but very fully admitted that she
found herself wholly unprepared for war.
Japan on the other hand, smiling ac-
cepts this acknowledgement Of her
prowess and waits detailed PROPOSE
ton as to how much China will concede
AS basis Of peace. 1t remains to be
seen whether japan will demand too
much or China yield too little. but the
inclination Of both powers is so stronly
towards getting together that it is be
lieved that peace will be effected on the
basis OF Corea's Independence and d cash
indemnity for Japan's war expenditure.
II, however, japan urges her demand TO
the extent of cession Of part Of China's
territory the prospect is China will not
humble her pride TO tins extent but will
continue to prosecute the war as best
she can. relying on the bitter winter now
at hand to give her temporary respite
and defense.
