POKER IN BACK BAY.
Fashionable Bostonians Have Gone era

Fashionable Bostonians Have Gone Cray
Over the Great American Game.
From the Boston Herald: Very few
people outside certain circles of the
Back Bay have any conception OF the
extent to which poker playing is car
ried in that section. The whole local
lty is divided into "sets," and it is Gus
tomary for each one to hold a session
1T his or her house nearly every night
In the week. The usual hour for begin
ming to play is o'clock, and it is GUS
tomary for the ladies to dress for tts'
occasion, while the gentlemen not l.
frequently array themselves IN full
evening costume. The standard limit
is 10 cents, one reason for making it so
small being that the conscientious snail
not feel that they are gambling. Gen
orally there are three hours Of play, aft
er which the hostess asks her guests to
light repast, consisting Of sardines,
crackers, cheese and sweet meats. Bot
tied beer is the favOrite beverage, but
there are instances on record where
something stronger has been INDUCED
in. A great many society people Of
both sexes drink rum punch, lemonade
dashed with whisky and plain gin. The
usual time devoted to refreshments is
fifteen minutes, as all are anxious &c
get at the cards again.
1t frequently happens that seven and
eight players are present at sitting,
and when everybody ''stays" the cards
fall short, which necessitates gathering
up the "dead wood" and filling out the
hands from it. There is well-ground-
ed superstition that these discards
have been robbed of everything of val
valent to throwing the chips into red
hot stove. To in measure meet these
exigencies eleven and twelve spot cards
have been added, making the pack con-
sist Of sixty cards instead of f!fty-tWo.
Another innovation is the ''ringdoo-
ile.'' A ringdoodle is declared when
hand has been called and tours are
shown. Then follows round of jack
pots, the holder of the winning hand
starting them. Blue chips are put up
to correspond with the number of play
ers. Of course a round of jack pots
would be equivalent to a ringdoodle,
but it comes easier to some players to
pay on the installment plan. Then a
regular round of jacks is declared
when a full hand is shown. Two are
never allowed to play in the modern
game, no matter how good their hands
may be. A Jack pot always follows.
There are also buck jacks and jacks on
the slightest provocation. 1t has now
become the custom to make a discount
of one red chip for every jack pot.
When the time has crept on toward
midnight the keeper of the kitty an
nounces that round of consolation
jacks will be played. The chips are
divided into number of piles CORE
spending with the number Of players
and the extras are placed in the center
of the table with the individual contll-
buttons

Senator Chandler Winces.

Senator Chandler, who presided over
the New Hampshire convention, must
bave WINGED at the reference to Nc
Kinley in thesplatform. Here it is:
;" We recognize as most conspicuous
among The republican candidate for the
presidebcy New England's noble and
illustriaAs son, the Hon. Thomas B.
Reed of Maine, and that pure and able
statesman and champion of protection
the Hon. William Mckinley, OF Ohio. !"
After Senator Chandler had stated
and reiterated that McKinley's was a
campaign Of " DOODLE" the reference
of the New Hampshire platform to the
Ohio candidate as that pure and able
statesman" sounds like personal re-
primand. Chicago Record.

Leaves from the Palm Tree.

1t is doubtful if one man in hum
dred goes to church praying that his
preacher may have boldness to declare
the truth to him. Wherever there is
suffering, somebody's sin has caused it.
Every man is hypocrite who prays one
way and lives another. The yoke OF
Christ is easy; the way of the trans
gressor is hard. The devil agrees with
the man who says he can't see any use
in being religious. We cannot have
right views about redemption as long
as we have wrong views about sin. No
sermon is dull that cuts the conscience.
The devil is warm friend of the man
who is mean to his wife. The most
of Gods work is not done by people
who have the most talents. There are
too many people who think the way
to serve God is to do it with the mouth.

ANIMAL REASONING.
Curiosity Is Apparent and Also Resent

Curiosity Is Apparent and Also Resent
ment at Restraint.
The Rev. DR.. Charles J. Adams, in
a recent letter to the Kingston Free
man, incidentally relates the following:
'sThat man is more disconnected with
| things as they are--that man has more
| imagination-than the lower animals,
do not for a moment question. But
that the lower animal has both reason
and imagination, in common with man,
| is as unquestionably true as that the
sun shines. But the question is now
the one of curiosity and discomfort.
Cows rebel against restraint A gentle
man in Iowa told me about his fathers
wanting the COWS in his farmyard to
eat clover hay. They would not do so
because they preferred timothy hay.
A brother farmer advised him to in
some way have the COWS approach the
clover hay, and then drive them rough
ly away, striking them over the shouts
with fork handle. He did so, and the
result was that they ate all the clover
hay and wanted more. Here was a clear
case of rebellion against restraint or
prohibition. Another farmer told me
that he built a fence about straw
stack, placing the rails upon posts a
couple of feet high. Against that fence
the cattle rebelled so emphatically that
they stuck their heads under the fence
and licked up the old, broken and soiled
straws on the outside, over which they
had walked before, and which they
could not have been induced to touch
had it not been for the fence. The fence
was an appetizer to the cattle, just as
the limitations of knowledge are ap-
petizers to man. And in one case as
in the other the appetite was not physi-
cal. What the cattle wanted was liber-
ty The appetite was not of the body,
but of the soul.
81 received from Pittsburg the story
of a spider that decorates it's web, as
it weaves it, with bits of logWood, which
it takes from boX-with no other pos
sible purpose in mind than that of deco
ration. Another spider weaves a web
with broad walls on it-made by plac-
Ing the threads more CLOSELY Indu IASy
are placed elsewhere in the web. For
what purpose? Simply for the purpose
of decoration, or that it may have
place of outing or promenade; for an
other web is woven for the purpose OF
catching food. That spider had an
imagination. 1t was not satisfied with
ordinary things. It wanted something
extraordinary. Ask the man who has
hunted antelope on the prairies, and he
will tell you that he raises flag and
depends on the antelopes curiosity
bringing it within range of his hall.
Around the flag that the hunter raises
the antelope moves in ever-decreasing
circles till the report comes that is
prophetic of it's death

kept up for over half an hour
A kingbird started all the trouble.

Of the sparrow sentinels aw0ke from

brought number of other sentinels
from trees in the vicinity, and they
gathered around the kingbird at safe
distances and chartered. The kingbird
sat still. Then the sparrows decided to
summon posse" It did not take
long. for sparrows of all ages and all
sizes had begun to crowd around to see
what was the trouble. Within two min
utes after the first alarm the air IN the
vicinity was black with sparrows. Then
began a vigorous and concerted attack
on the kingbird. They darted at him
from in front and behind, from all sides
and from above. all the time keeping up
screaming that caused the people on
the walks to stop and see the fun. Now,
anybody who has ever seen a kingblrd

kingbird is game, but the thousand or
more sparrows in the air began to make
it uncomfortable for the intruder, FL

gathering on the walks he began to fear

in bird language, probably stands for a

body of sparrows gave him an escort

GRIZZLY. AND SILVER TIP.
Three Types In California of Immense
Strength and Size.

Three Types In California of Immense
Strength and, Size.
The grizzly bears found all through
the canyons Of the Rocky and Coast
mountains and spurs Of the Sierra Ne
vada range seldom descend from lofty
attitudes, remarks San Francisco Call.
The bruins Of the east and the bruins Of
the west are almost totally different
animals. The Ursa Majors OF the
Sierras are monstrous in size, endowed
with ugly dispositions and prodigious
strength. There are at least three dis
tinct types of the family in California
and Lower California-namely, the
grizzly, brown and black bear. Besides
these there are also gray bears, CHINA
mon bears, and the Sierra grayback.
Cinnamon is simply cross between
the brown and black bears, and the
mighty silver tip is neither more nor
less than a mongrel of the brown or
grizzly, partaking strongly Of the ma
lures of the two, but particularly Of the
latter. All the members Of the species
intermarry, and the silver tip is the
king of the family. This big family
springing from the grizzly and the
brown bear, combines all the ferocity
and tough strength of the former, with
the agility and stubbornness Of the
latter, each distinctive trait being more
prominent in him and possessed to
greater degree than by the very animals
from whom he borroWs them.

The Vice Presidency.

It is generally understood that not
one of the aspirants for the republican
nomination for the presidency is willing
to consider the question of accepting
the second place on the ticket. They
all want the first prize, or none. and
the suggestion of the lesser honor. is re-
sented as a kind of personal disparage-
ment. This is always the case in these
contests. The strife pertains entirely to
the presidency, and the nomination for
the vice presidency is made hurriedly
in the closing hour of the convention,
without any particular interest or any
proper regard for the Importance of the
Office. In common estimation, vice
president is simply provision for the
unexpected, a man chosen to sit and
wait for the possible, but not probable,
contingency of putting his feet into a
dead mans shoes. He lis not looked
upon as an official having dignity of
his own and duties that demand high
order of ability; and yet he is such an
official, aud should be selected with as
much care as the president. States
men as a rule disdain the position be-
cause it is supposed to be a hoodoo so
far as the presidency is concerned, and
to retire man genteellY from the po-
liticaE arena; but the fact remains
nevertheless, that it is signal dis
tinction apart from the idea of casual
succession to greater place, and calls
for qualities as excellent in their way
as these which are essential to a sue
-cessful president.
The vice president is the, presiding
officer.ef the chief legislative body Of
the nation, and his functioDr; and OBJ
legations in that capacity nave a direct
and potent bearing upon proceedings
that affect every Interest in the coun-
try. Il is in g1is power to prevent de-
lay and defeat mischievous practices of
various E.lnds in the transaction OF the
lpUblle< business. If there had been a
Scon' .Detent and faithful man in that Of
zee during the present session OF Con-
gress, the Senate would not have been
allowed to waste it's time in such a
culpable degree, to thrust measures OF
vital interest. aside by conspiracy and
trickery, and to cover itself with re-
proach as with a garment. 1t is to the
credit of Aaron Burr, in spite OF his
many iniquities, that he made splen-
did vice president. He had, it was
said, not only thorough knowledge
parliamentary law and methods, bu
also " the impartiality of an angel anc
the rigor of a devil" His constan
study was to facilitate legislation, ant
he did not permit any sort of dilator!
or embarrassing tactics. In short, h'
indicated the Importance and useful
ness of an office that has since come t
be considered superfuity. 1t would
be we'll for the country if this late
view could be changed. The vic
presidency is in itself worthy to b
sought by men of first-class ability; ant
it should not be given to any man VIII
is incapable of performing in promp
and resolute way the service that be
longs to it as the place second in OPP
portunity of advantage to the people
as it is second in point of honor, only t
that of president st. Louis Globe
