SCHEMES TO WIN. AT POKER.
Devices That While Not Open Cheating
 Arc Quite as Bad.

Arc Quite as Bad.
 There arc more simple ways than one to win at Q game of poker, without openly cheating, as is evidenced by Q couple of young men who belonged to a poker club recently broken up and who played tho game to win. They had various schemes. the first being as fol- lows: They would go into game with plenty of money, begged or borrowed if necessary;.they would play in every good-sized stake and let thc small ones alone; they would begin to bet, each raising tue other and their companions at the table, irrespective of the size of hands; whether the others held enor- nous hands or not they were bound to go out in time, and then the partners would divide the spells, in this way managing to turn many an honest--or dishonest--pcnny, as the opinion may be. The second game was not so fair, says the Syracuse Post. The two con spirators sat next to one another. They would look into one another's hand. and the lowest man would drop out at the appropriate time. Then he would take every occasion to look into the others hands. If they were higher than his companion's he would nudge the companion and the latter would drop out; otherwise he would re- main with the certainty of winning the money. The two rogues had nu- merous otierways of beating the game, but these were the plain, unvarnished foundations for many a case of high way robbery on their part.

cr,a, oaks from ll,ue Aeorns Grow.

Is a line from the trite old verse we used to recite in our school boy days. It has forcible application to these small ailments which we are apt to disregard until they reach formidable proportions. A fit of indigestion, a ''slight' attack of constipation, it is assumed, will soon pass of, but is very apt to get worse, and in the meantime is neglected until the ailment becomes chronic, and then, if not entirely eradicated, is constant annoyance and menace of worse consequence, for diseases, recollect, beget one another. How much wiser to resort to a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters at the outset of the malady than to temporize with it at the start, or treat 1t with violent remedies in its maturity. Be on time with disease, or it may ''hoor'' Sou. Malarious, rheumatic and kid ney complaints, dyspepsia, constipa- ton, biliousness and nervousness are all disorders of rapid growth, and should be ''nipped in the bud'' by a timely resor. to the Bitters.

He an- swered quite simply, and with his nice, good-natured smile, that if he had a gun he would go up into the High bush and shoot black boys as men shoot pigeons. He said nothing about eating them, nor do think he really meant to. I think all he wanted was to clear the plantation of the vermin, as game keepers at home kill wcasels or rats.
 The other day he was sent on an CT rand to the German company where many of the black boys live. It was very late when he came home. He had a white bandage round his head. His eyes shone, and he could scarcely speak for excitement. It seemed some of the black boyswho were his enemies at home had attacked him, one with q knife. By lis oyn account he had tough; very well; but tho odds were heavy.
