A NEW JERSEY POKER Story.
Four Straight F1ushes Result In an Ecuz
Division Of the Stakes.

Four Straight F1ushes Result In an Equal
Division Of the Stakes.
A straight flush in the great Ameri-
can game Of draw poker is such rarity
that the person holding it is regarded as
enc of the most fortunate and blessed of
mortals. Devotees of that game will
peruse the following story with ircredu-
lily, but its absolute authenticity can
be verified hy at least ten thoroughly
reliable W. theses: A party of four play
ers entercc place not thousand miles
from Summit one night not long ago
and prepared to enjoy few hours of
recreation ut their favorite game. An
other game in progress at the time was
full, SO the four players We're Obliged to
start at an adjoining table.
The Jack pot" came around, each Of
the fouI players filled in, and the game
proceeded The cards, regulation pack,
90 cards, were cut by the player to the
right of the dealer and dealt ont in the
regular manner The first player to the
left Of the dealer opened the Jack pot, ="
and each succeeding player in turn
raised. The limit was 10 cents, and the
players are usually light bettors, so
that the raising and lively chipping in
before the draw created considerable
surprise. When the dealer prepared to
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 a game in the place,
and none of the players could afford to
risk a greater amount. When the hands
were shown, some of the players almost
succumbed to heart disease, for there
lay four straight flushes. one of each
snit and all running from four to eight.
The pot was divided, and the cards
We're carefully put away in a case to be
preserved as reminder of the greatest
poker hands ever held in this section

Breathing.

Learn to breathe properly and system.
atically and rhythmically and you may
overcome insomnia, weak lungs, indi.
gestion and even seasickness. This at
least is the theory, as well as the suc-
cessful practice of the patients of the
famous Dr.. Oertel of Munich, who has
elaborated system of breathing that
he has set forth in large work on the
subject. The breathing is done by count,
or rather by steps-so many full deep
hreaths to a step, the number being
regulated by the nature of the place
where the walk is taken, whether it lie
level or an ascent or descent. Tho speed
is regulated by the ailment and condi-
ton Of the patient.
