An Impossible Sacrifice.

A hungarian paper says that Francis
Deak, the Hungarian statesman, used
to get rid Of troublesome visitors By
telling them the following story: "Once,
when in Paris, Napoleon and I paid I.
visit to hospital for old soldiers. Hero

had lost one Of his arms, and ne entered
into conversation with him. where did
you lose your arm?' asked the emperor

your country every time you look at
your mutilated lmb?' NO indeed, pro.
tested the veteran, for the emperor and
my native land I would readily sacrifice
my other arm if needs be- lean hardly
believe that the emperor remarked.
and passed ca. But the soldier, anxious
to prove that he was in earnest, imme-
diately drew saber from its sheath and
Topped off his other arm"
Here Deak would pause and fix q
penetrating look on his visitor. "Well,
what have you to say of such a man
and such an action?' IA most sublime
act Of self sacrifce! A truly noble char
acter!' This was the style Of reply in
variably given. "But the story has one
flaw he would gravely add. "What
is that, pray?" "It is simply imprac-
ticable. How could a one armed man
contrive to cut off his only remaining
hrm?'

A NEW JERSEY POKER STORY.

Division of the Stakes.
A straight flush in the great Amerj-
can game Of draw poker is such q rar:ty
that the person holding it is regarded as
one OF the most fortunate and blessed Of
mortals. Devotees Of that game will
peruse the following story with incredu-
Hty, but its absolute authenticity can
be verified by at least ten thoroughly
reliable witnesses: A party Of four play
ers entered a place notSa thousand miles
from Summit one night not long age
and prepared to enjoy few hours OF
recreation at their favorite game. An.
other game in progress at the time was
full, SO the four players We're obliged tc
start at an adjoining table.
The lack pot'' came around, each OF
the four players filed in, and the game
proceeded. The cards, regulation pack,
50 cards, were cut by the player to the
right Of the dealer and dealt out in the
regular manner. The first player to the
left Of the dealer opened the lack pot, -
and each succeeding player in turn
raised. The limit was 10 cents, and the
players are usually light bettors, sc
that the raising and lively chipping il
before the draw created considerable
surprise. When the dealer prepared tx
serve the cards for the draw, each Of the
players stood ''pat," and the betting
again started.
When each Of the players had Clipped
in $40, it was decided to stop the bet
ting, as that amount had never before
been wagered On game in the place
and none Of the players could afford tt
risk a greater amount. When the hand!
were shown, some of the players aim Isl

lowed in an explosion as if the bowels or the earth were rent in sunder. The white cloud was transformed into water. that shot upward in one mighty stream toward the moon. piling volume on volume, and casting itself in steam and spray a hundred feet on every side, like giant fountain of silver.
 When the great geyser had ceased to play. Whirlwind stood beside the medi- cine man.
 Where is Washakie?" he asked. "Where is the would-be war chief?''
 "There," answered the medicine man, pointing to an object lying near the mouth of the crater. He has found the tomanowos; but he pierced the heart of the Fire Spirit with arrows, and the Fire Spirit has slain him."
 The water had subsided and fallen back into the earth. Washable lay upon his face, crushed and smothered, as far from the crater as the length of the lariat to which he was bound per- mitted the water to throw him. In his right hand he still clutched the quiver, half filled with red, ochreous earth. The medicine man had taken care that the body should not be lost.
 "Here is the secret" he said, taking up the quiver. Tt is the blood of the heart of the Fire Spirit. Whirlwind shall be war chief of the Shoshones. He shall wear the tomanomos in his war bonnet"
 Casting the body of Washable into the crater, they turned their backs upon the Fire-Hole basin and crossed the mountains into the land of the Shoshones. White Bull at the council fire told of fight between the two rivals and the Fire Spirit, in which Washable had been slain, but Whirlwind had come away victorious. Then the crafty deed of the medicine man was rewarded by the election of Whirlwind as war chief
 That summer, when he led his people against the neighboring tribes, Whirl- wind placed tre tomano,oos in the beak of the eagle which crowned his war bonnet. Though foremost among the falling braves, he received no wound. Bullets struck away the feathers of his war-bonnet, his pony was killed, the wings of the eagle were torn away, but Whirlwind was not touched. And until the Bad Spirit swept the valleys of Idaho with plague twenty years later, Whirlwind remained the invincible war chief of the Shoshones; for his people believed the tale which White Bull had told of the power of his tomanoacos.

 The diminutive woman addressed gathered herself together and clutched her companion by the arm as she re- piled: I've come here to wave, and I'm going to wave. This is my sister Arimita, who has been a-visiting me for three weeks; and she'd been here longer if she hadn't lost flesh so fast, and l was afraid that if she staid any longer she'd get to be livin' skeleton; and then she was away from home, and didn't know what might happen to the children while she was gone; 50 in spite of everything they could do to keep her she just packed up her duds this mornin' and said she must go back home.
