A SUNBEAM BROKE A BANK.
The Faro Dealer Thought Its End was =
White Check.

THAT piece in your paper bout the
guy that cleaned up the faro banks out
in Seattle" unused Bettam High, the
Chicago gambler. as he told the waiter
to 'bring ON three fer a half, " "ain't
in it with my personal experience. This
was out in Cripple Creek when the
boom was way up an a good play
agin a right bank, see, was wuth more
to the banker than a split in the best
claim you could git if they broke even.
Do you know Eaten Up Jake? That
wasn't his name of course, but the gang
give him the handle cause he could
chew so fast, see? Well, Eaten Up got
hold of a piece of money in Chicago
he win out roll off'n short money, sSes
an he goes off to Cripple Greek an starts
to dealin. De lay out was in a little
frame, pine board joint bouts big's a
dry goods box. Jake gets good play,
you know-took a minute to settle after
every turn, see: But didn't tell you
bout the knothole. You see, there's a
knothole in 4 board right back of the
dealer. Jake, he's in the lookout chair,
see? Jake don't have no clock there,
see, so nobody minds the daylight, only
it makes the dealer little sleepy, an
Jake, he's kinda dopy.
well, there's "a tin horn from over
i'll another joint-a plugger in the stud
game, see: He blows in an buys two
red checks, waits fer cases, fergits the
copper one play an gets whipsawed.
see-loses both bets. Then he buys half
a stack of whites an keeps the seat,
playing mostly cases. He keeps his
checks in his hands, an Jake don't keep
cases ON him. Well, he goes broke, but
Jake doesn't know it.
1.-The jacks a case, see, an the sun
lights coming through the knOthole
over the dealers shoulder, hits the jack
right in the center, an it looks like a
white check. The jack wins. Dealer
pays a white check ON the jack. Tin
horn pushes the sleeper over between
the queen an the king, an it wins
again, see? An, ON the level, the guy
win and win, an nothin can stop him.
Five deals afterward he has the check
rack out, an Jack says:
g L can't deal fer you no more Me
roll is gone.
Next day stake Jake in the poker
game an tell him how it happened, an
he says:
"'Well, watyetink of thatf Wouldn't t
that skin you? I've heerd of guys win
ming out de bank roll off'n eat money,
but never heard of winning out ON a
shadder. "-Elmira Telegram.

PERCENTAGE OF POOR EYES.
Only One Person In Fifteen Has Both
Eyes In Good Condition.

Only One Person In Fifteen Has Both
Eyes In Good Condition.
Only one person i'll l5 has both eyes
in good condition, and in Z cases out of
10 one eye, generally the right, is
stronger than the other. 1t is found
that just as people are right or left
handed so they are right or left sight
ed, and while apparently looking with
both eyes they often really use only one.
Out of 20 persons whose eyes were test
ed by a German doctor two only were
found to be left sighted.
The reason of the greater strength
generally possessed by the right eye is
not altogether understood, hut probably
the natural tendency TO the greater use
of the right side of the body has some
thing to do with it. In using weapons,
for instance, mankind has been taught
to assume for ages attitudes in which
the right hand and side have most exer-
else, and this discipline has undoubted-
ly had its effect ON the eye.
Old sea captains after long use of the
telescope find their right eyes much
stronger than the left-the direct effect
of exercise. This law is confirmed by
the experience of aurists. If a person
who has ears of equal hearing power
has cause to use one ear more than the
other for long period, the ear brought
into reQuisition is found to be strength
ened and the ear not used loses its hear
ing i'll a corresponding degree. e.-Pitts-
