story of a Game Which Never Had a

Great injustice has been done to a
good man in all that poker-playing Cos
sip about Minister Schenck back in the
seventies" 1t was one of Washing
tons front-rank lawyers who said this.
Then he continued in a spirit of remi-
niscence: Il recollect, however, a taste
of high life which Schenck gave me

were about to separate one morning,
What are you going TO do this after
noon?'
Nothing of moment replied, no
program in particular.
There's going 10 be a poker game
at the Langham, said Schenck, and if
you care for the exercises, I'd like to
take you in. The Prince of Wales will
be one ofthe party
This last rather dazzled me- I re
hected that it isn't given to every
American citizen to bluff, and raise
and draw cards against a prince born
in the purple. l would so. l cared not
whit for poker, but It would be an eX-
perience whereof to tell the babies
when they grew up-tell them how
papa beat the Prince of Wales. l told
Schenck I'd be there. He seemed de-
lighted, and no doubt was, for he was
royal good fellow, and liked TO pu'
his friends in the way to be pleased
One thing ! forgot-the limit. l had
neglected 10 ask Schenck the limit
But [ had a couple of thousand dollars
in London, and felt elegantly, even SUI

Three o'clock came, and repaired
TO the Langham. The others came in
later. In addition 10 the Prince OF

Just after I was presented to the prince
I asked Schenck, in a whisper, what

festivals. He replied, also in strong
aside that there was no limit.

his dignity as a prince.

A ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.
illustrating the Ups and Downs q
Politics in France.


A remarkable story figures in Paris
letter in. the London Telegraph, which
says that the idea of a man standing
as sentry, with the rank of a private
soldier, at the door of the very man
sion in which he had lived as minis
ter and saluting his successor as he
entered, appears too improbable to be
entertained for a moment, even by the
most imaginative. Yet such an ad-
venture really occurred in the case of
Victor Duruy. who was for years min
lister of public instruction during the
Empire, and has just been gathered
to his fathers. 1t was on a September
evening in 1870. A soldier in the uni
form of the National Guard was pac-
ing up and down, rifle on shoulder, in
front of this ministry, his breast
adorned with the 'plauque" of a grand
officer of the Legion of Honor. Pres
entity the new minister of public in
struction arrived. 1t was M. Jules
Simon, to whom his predecessor, as
sentinel, presented arms as in duty
bound. He recognized the soldier, and
exclaimed: WHAT Is that you,
Duruy?" ut is l." was the answer.
"A private soldier?" added M. Jules
Simon, in his amazement Exactly
SO. Que voulez-vous? One cannot be
a minister forever replied the sentry.
well, [ see that one can always set
an example" said M. Jules Simon, adj
miringly. At that date Victor Duruy
was 60 years of age.
