"gentleman's" game. There were five
others at the table and the legislator
showed a large amount of money when
the chips were bought, says the Washing
ton Post. At the same time he noticed,
or at any rate was pretty sure that
change significant glances with each
other. He made up his mind
that before the sitting was over he
was destined to be made the victim of
the deadly double cross by those two ind
viduals, who would get him between them
in the betting and would keep him going
until he was thoroughly skinned. Still he
could see no way of getting out of the
game without creating unpleasantness.
because it is one of the ethics of poker
never to jump the game until you are
broke or the sitting has continued up to
the limit of human endurance. That is
the rule in gentleman s" game,
anyhow.
The Congressman had wonderful luck as
the game progressed, but this did not
blind him to the fact so apparent to him
that he was going to be victimized, and
he kept his brain busy trying to discover
a way to stop. Still the good fortune con
tlnued, and the chips piled up at his
elbow. Once or twice he had deftly
escaped being caught between the men he
suspected, and at last he made up his
mind to act. The man preceding him with
the deal gave him two aces. The other
players Clipped in to draw cards Instead
OF raising the pot, as he would have done
with pair of aces under other crcum-
stances when he held the eldest hand and
had the last say, he dropped out, and
while the others were drawing cards he
quickly threw the two aces under the
table. When the hand was played he
picked up the deck to deal. and remarked
that it felt thin, and Immediately pro-
ceeded to count the cards. OF course he
only found fifty cards in the pack.
Let see what is missing" he coolly
remarked, as he began asserting them out
in suits, The ace of diamonds and the
ace of clubs could not be found A hur-
ried search by the party revealed the aces
under the table. Every body looked blank
ly at everybody else. The congressman
counted out his chips and showed them
over to the banker.
Please cash them" he remarked
"Somehow or other aces come my way,
and hate to draw to pair when there
are no more in the deck.
The chips we're cashed and the game
broke up. Two of the players met each
other down stairs.
What in the devil did you try to bug
those aces for?" calculated one fiercely.
II was just about to ask you the same
question:" said his confederate. They
looked at each other in astonishment.
We'll, " said one after awhile, II won

La Freckla | was a freckled

am the envy of every woman
who looks at my skin.
La Freckla will remove any
case of freckleS in existence and
leave the skin as transparent as
crystal. One or two applica-
tiOnS removes tan and sun
burn. 1t takes from three to
nine days to destroy every
trace of freckles. 1t is the only
remedy known to the world
that does this. Nowis the time
to use La Freckla, as it strength

who first said, Stop the

leaks in the household
are the unexpected ones,
such as poor Furniture.
1t looks all right when
new = that's varnish -

the furniture wear and
use is lacking. If you
knew about such Furni-
ture of course you would
not buy it; yet it is easy
to KNOW, if you come
to this store, because we
will tell all about it,
and you will not find a
shoddy vanished piece
in the house to tempt
you from the path of
true econom y. If it
comes from us, it's good.
We want to sell all the
Furniture we can, and
it's our belief that if we
sell you a good article
today you will come back
to us and perhaps send
your frien ds in the
months to come. That's
our way of making our
business grow. We can't
afford to keep poor, shod-
dy Furniture, and you
can't afford to buy it.
We will sell you good,
honest Furniture, tho,
at just about what you
will be asked for less
worthy kinds at most
stores. When we sell you
Furniture the quality
will be JUST RIGHT,
and the price will be
JUST RIGHT, too.
One of 'the leaks is
buying what you don't
want.
Our stock is four times
large er than the next
largest Furniture stock
in Los An G eles, with
such a range Of assort-
ment and price as will
meet any purse or suit
any taste; hence we: stop

Furniture, buying what
you don't want, paying
more for poor Furniture
than good Furniture is
worth. Those are the

Grimth's Faust.

John Griffith, an ambitious young
star, will essay the role of Mephisto in
Henry Irving's version of Goethe's ma
Jestic spectacular drama, Faust" at
Evans opera house. Faust" well
played appeals to the intelligent class
es and is one of the best dramatic
works upon the stage. Mr.. Griffith,
judging from his efforts during the
earlier part of the season, will give a
good production, both from a dramatic
and scenic standpoint. This young star
presents a version of this masterpiece
that clings more closely to the great
pote's masterwork than that of any
other version now extant. Mr.. Grif-
nth's conception of the Devil being ra-
tional, Just and intelligent, neither
tempting Faust with the boorishness
and frivolty of a clown, or directly or
brutally, but rather ensnaring him by
a strain OF reasoning that the latter
cannot answer. The scenic and electrf-
cal enects used in this presentation
are new, the choicest mysteries of the
spectacular art being drawn upon to
make them perfect, particularly in the
weird Broken scene. II is claimed that
nothing finer has ever been shown in
connection with this drama. AS re-
CARDS Goethe's works, there is no dra-
ma that has attracted so much atten-
ton as has this model work of the Ger
man poet. The company supporting
Mr.. Griffith is reported TO be up in ali
the requirements. and all in all the
production ought to be an admirable
one. A serious effort of this kind is
heartily to be commended in these
times when things are so decidedly in
clined to run to cheap farce comedy.
1t will be interesting to compare the
improvements.

Watchman, tell us OF the night" Gov
ernor Richards said in part:
IT fs said that the English Language
Is the most expressive on earth, yet on
occasions of this character its adjec-
tives are too feeble to properly express
the emotions OF the heart. That spirit
OF hospitality. so characteristics OF COM
munities In the intermountain country.
Is always associated with the twin
spirit Of appreciation. (Applause.) Your
visitors are profoundly impressed with
the splendid hospitality of your people
and the magnihcence Of your great
mountain city.
''The hospitality with which you
have welcomed the missionaries Of sill
yer reflects not only the fellowship that
has given your city a habitation and a
name In the hearts of the American
public east and west. but II bespeaks
upon this occasion a devotion to the
cause OF bimetallism that hlls the
breast Of every loyal Western man
with pride and hope. (Applause.)
I'm this common cause in which New
Mexico can clasp hands with Montana,
we have assembled at the focal point
in the empire of the West, delegated
with mission of such a sacred sigp1h-
canoe to all our people. SD
II beg to tender our congratulations
upon the dawn of statehood that Will
add to Utah's loyalty to silver more
power to protect its interests In the
councils of the nation" (Applause);
With reference more particularly to
the cause Of silver. Governor Richards
said:
"Oh, the tears that could have been
saved! Oh. the fortunes that might
have been preserved! Oh, the lives
that might have been protected had the
honest men In congress a watchman on
the outer walls In 1873. (Applause)
The stealthy tread of fraud and cor
ruption might have been heard on the
carpets Of the lobby. as II has since
been heard the world over. Silver's
degradation is due to the fact that the
time-honored challenge to the watch
man was forgotten In the dream OF
peace.
Gentlemen, 1t is time to revive an
ancient and honored custom; II Is time
for the silver men Of the world to mass
their forces in harmony behind the Inn
pregnable arguments OF bimetallism.
and see to II that watchmen are posted
on the outer walls to guard with jeal-
GUS care the sacred interests OF the
cause. ftaf-
Let our campaigns for silver be so 1
shaped that when the challenge rings
out, Waterman, what of the nightY
the answer will come back in silvery
tone, AL is Well!"
