PLAYING POKER FOR KEEPS.
This Was the Stinesr Game for Years on

1.-The biggest game of poker have
heard of in the past few years." said

two years ago between Lucky Baldwin
and California cattle man.
THE game was limited, but one by
one the players dropped out until no
body was left in bat Baldwin and the
cattle man. They agreed to waive the
limit, and the cattle man set the pace.
'He wanted to bet $4,000. Baldwin
stayed and offered to go him SIC, 900 bet
ter. The cattle owner scratched his
head, and said he DIDN'T have that much
to lose. but he would like to put up his
able, and the cattle were assessed at
ten dollars head
Then the cattleman raised Baldwin
$40, 900. That made Baldwin scratch his
head and hem and haw a little. He
said he was in the same predicament as
his friend. He didn't have quite that
much to lose
But said Baldwin, you know my
house on Market street. giving the
number of the property; well, I'll pit
that against $50 of your cattle, making
a total of S15,OOO-'

came to a show down. The ruralist

down four aces. 1t was the stiffest

locomotives Queer Load.

One can never predict exactly what
will be the result of a railroad collision
Sometimes the wrecked cars are piled
up in an astonishing heap; sometimes
they are telescopes; sometimes they
are turned over and over, or twisted
crosswise on the track, or stood up or
end, as a baggageman loves to stand e
trunk But perhaps the queerest of all
accidents of this kind occurred recently
at Towanda, Pa, where locomotive
drawing a train at full speed ran into
three box cars standing on the track.
One of these cars was lifted bodily, and
almost uninjured, on top of the loco
motive, smashing the smokestack and
part of the cab. There it remained firm

attention was paid to the writing on
the glass at the time; but as soon as
it was learned that Booth had killed the
president the circumstances connected
with the window inscription were re-
called, the glass was removed from its
sash, framed in a plain black wooden
frame, piece of dark velvet being
placed at its back to facilitate reading,
and the signature of Booth entered on
the register August 13 was cut from the
book and attached to the window glass
The original pane is now in the posses

1T SETTLED THE QUESTION.
An Experiment Lazy Man That Was
Failure.

Failure.
The colonel was the possessor of a
fat colored man who was extremely
lazy-so much so that every body in tie
town had tried to do something to
1iven him up. They usually abandoned
their effort after trial.
There was quite gathering at the
coloners one afternoon, and the ques-
ton of the lazy colored man came up.
Finally one of the gentlemen asked
leave to experiment, and to crafty him
the colonel sent for his lazy servant.
1t was some time before Sam put in
an appearance. When he came, the
gentleman addressed him thus:
Sam, as I was coming up the gar
den path I noticed several snails down
rear the gate. I want to show these
gentlemen some of their peculiarities,
so catch one for me, please
Sam scratched his gray wool and de-
parted
The colonel and his friends smoked
and chatted for long while, and still
no Sam and no snail
"Well, that fellow is really lazy" said
the gentleman who had sent him on
the quest. Colonel, would you mind
sending for him, and see what on earth
he is doing?'
The colonel did so, and Sam entered
the room.
WELL" said the gentleman, did you
catch one of those srails 90
