Those who knew him we'll and who

opinion being that the dispatching Of

Must Have a Home.

George K. Holmes, In Good Housekeeping.
This name of one of our dearest
possessions, "horaa," is a general one
that applies to infinite varieties. Among
the many millions of homes in the world
no two are exactly alike, although, if
minor details are overlooked, homes
may be grouped IN many large classes.
All of the thirteen million homes in
the United States were visited by the
agents of the government in the sum-
mer of 1890, an army of nearly fifty
thousand men, or twice as great as the
standing army. This host of animated

A Difference in Location.

From the New York Sun.
Senator Sherman met Senator Clarke,
the new senator from Wyoming, at a
social gathering few nights ago. In
the conversation Senator Sherman spoke
disparagingly of the senate as at present
constituted. He said he could not ac-
count for the great change that has
come over the body of late years, for he
said it is not at all as it used to be since
the introduction of so much young
blood. AS Senator Clarke is one of the
youngest of the new senators, he blush
ed. but, without the slightest indication
of personal resentment, blandly replied:
1.-The reason is, senator, that the old
men of the body carry their gray matter
on the outside of their heads, while the
young members of the senate carry it no
the inside"

MORE CARDS FoR POKER.

Eleven and Twelve Spots In Each Suit In
the New Decks.
Draw poker, Americas national
game, has made its way steadily in
popularity, as q means of social recrea-
ton, ever since United States Minister
Schenck made it fad in London, years
ago.
A serious drawback to the general
introduction of the game into the par
lor has always been that the number Of
people who can sit into game has been
necessarily limited to four or five. The
ideal game of poker is with five players.
On the deal rs cards are exhausted.
That leaves 81 in the deck from which
the players may draw. Less than that
number in reserve is likely to see the
deck exhausted on the draw, which
makes it necessary to go to the discard
cards to complete the draw. q very un-
satisfactory arrangement.
To meet this objection, and to make
1t possible for a party Of eight to BIT
around table, new deck has been
made that contains 60. The new cards
are the IL and 12 spots in each suit. The
new deck is known In the trade as The
full house."
A dealer near Union square says that
the new decks are selling quite freely,
and that the indications are that six,
seven and eight-handed games of poker
viii be the most popular round-table
game of the winter. The addition OF
four eleven and four twelve spots to
deck will at first strike the player as
novel, and it will take him some time
to get used to such a startling hand as
three twelves and pair of elevens.
The addition of the additional cards
involves no change in the rules of the
game. although it will upset all present
theories of chances in the draw, and the
card-sharps will have to do some new
figuring. The introduction of the
eleven and twelve materially increases
the possible number of fnllhand COM
binations. increases the possibilities Of
"hushesp and "straights" and adds an

The Country Editor.


The typical country editcz' Is quite
character. He Is both foo. and a
smart man. He is fool for being an
editor, and being one, is smart enough
to keep out of the poor house. 1t is
interesting to follow his meanderings
for week only. You will find him
smoking ten-cent cigars IN the morn
ing. planning some gigantic scheme,
so far as chin music is concerned,
along with men of means, and when
evening drives him home you will find
him hustling for dear life, picking up
firewood enough to keep from freezing.
He then eats cold potato for supper,
that he himself has brought in, or
perhaps some subscriber has brought
In, which was slightly frost-bitten, and
was thought to be dangerous for cow
feed. He then takes seat, fills his
pipe with mean plug tobacco and be-
gins to think. He crosses his legs and
looks at his rundown shoes, glances at
his barefoot boys, takes mp pencil to
write about the glorious land we live
ma land flowing with milk and
honey. He writes until IL O'Clock get
ung up copy, and then crawls off to
bed, leaving his poor wife to sit up half
an hour longer to put an additional
patch on his last pair of breeches-not
on the knee-as the editor Is seldom
pious. At break of day he bounces out
of bed, eats what was left over from
the day before, and rushes to the office
to catch up with the typesettlng on
which he fell behind the day before
while he was smoking ten-centers and
talking to big men. The country edi-
tor is a rare specimen of the human
family. He is dissembler; he talks
more than he can do; he looks wiser
than he knows, and his equal for living
one thing and appearing another can
only be found in the tramp printer,
who, nine time out of ten, is country
editor reformed, or a man just yerging
on insanity, who will soon turn out TO

South Strabane township 1t has cost
its owner $45,o00 in cash. and no doubt
much mental suffering. In 1887,
when the Smith pool' gushers comN
menced to break the oil market and
ruin spectators, the company which
held the lease ON the Smith farm de-
cided to locate q well near the bound
ary line Of the Cameron and Smith
properties. The timbers for the rig
were on the ground, when the owner of
the farm objected to the location, claim
ing that If made on the spot chosen
it would necessitate the chopping down
of a favorfte apple tree. The manager
OF the drilling company had conceived
the idea, however, that the location was q
promising one. and becoming tired
of Smiths protests decided to gain
his point and get even with the land
owner at the same time. Acting on this
plan he had the timbers hauled few

large percentage of the petroleum must
have come from under the Smith farm.
but the hole was on Cameron's land,
and the latter. of course, received the
royalty. The well is still producing
some oil, and the property owners
