A Journey Across the Continent In March
Is Like n Voyage.
The journey across the continent from
west to east in midwinter is very much
like q voyage. When one lands at st.
Paul from tho overland train, it is with
all the sensations of making port after
having passed yer the icebound sea Of
the plains.
The uniform dazzle of miles of mo-
notonous snow, broken only where it
sinks to indigo shadow or swells to
crests of intolerable light, has for days
given to the world outside the pane q
sentiment of immensely rarely matched
by the moving sea.
There is majesty in tho limitless
sweep of level earth, so slightly over
archod by tho level sky, but majesty
that becomes d%esolation when seen in
intimate relation to human life.
A furry team of horses struggling
across the plains, drawing q meager
sledge load of tirewood along q narrow
trail i'll the snow to some unseen farm
house, alternating through the long
winter months for the resurrection of q
few fierce weeks of summer sunshine; q
little schoolhouse of unplaned boards
perched OH a swell of tho vast. silent
landscape; a farmhouse backed by barn
and corral, with a tiny yard in front
encircled by q tawdry frill Of white
washed paling, showing yellow above
the snowfall these, with miles of snow
between, pierce one with a keener sense
of loneliness than could any personal
experience.
The human element is so inadequate
that one passes these scattered evidences
of q struggle for life as in a sound ship
ono might pass Il frail craft at sea.
There are eagle minds upon which
this solemn hostility of unconquered
nature acts as q challenge; one sees this

Tho Rev Gamo of Cards Which Is Inter
eating Eastern Society.

Desperation" is n game of cards
that is best described rs q continuity Of
sequences. regardless of suit. 1t is
played with three full packs of SO cards
each, and the most convenient number
of players is 12, but eight or ten per-
sons will find it a very delightful way
to spend In evening. In a party of la
dies and gentlemen the better way is for
the one six to challenge the other six
and then. sitting in couples at the table,
alternating the play.
The first duty is to select "a banker,
who should also act as umpire for the
evening. The banker or GeaIer should
then shuttle tho three packs of cards to.
gether very thoroughly and count two
''nests, " Of 80 cards each, the one to be
known as 'ladi3s' nest" the other as
"gentlemen'e nest" placing them at
opposite ends of tho table. Each player
hen receives a hand of six cards, dealt
ne at q time. These hands are placed
Face down directly in front of each
player.
The play is from the banker to the
left. and each player turns up q card,
and the play continues until an ace is
turned. The privilege of turning the
top card of center nests is taken by the
first player of each side. When an acc
is turned up. it is placed i'll the enter
of the table, and the fun begins. The
purpose of the game is to exhaust the
center nests, and the game is won by
the side exhausting their nest first. The
sequences in the center of the table are
ace high to deuce. while the side Sc
quences or partners hand are high or
low. So that each partner plays on the
center sequences, his or his partners
sequences and his own. in effect play
&aasss seven hands in q IL hand game.
BS8HEShe fun of the game is caused by the
SSAlty connected Herewith, which is:
eas48 aver is permitted by word, look,
%Sa{Y motion OF suggestion to indicate
&e person playing any play or mis-
play possible on penalty of FORGETTING
the play of said player and having the
chance of q sequence pass to the next
player at table, which would naturally
be al opponent.
There is a great amount of sport in
this game for a social evening, and it is
very popular in the eastern cities. 1t

the Same principles as euchre.-S

Gambling is the skulking, poison

ion habit of lying. Tho lying gets worse
as the gambling becomes confirmed.
Your gambling associate comes along
with such q cheerful mask of falsehood
that you are indignant whom somebody
intimatos that he is treading the dan
gerous path of dallianoe with cards or
horses.
"Sc-co years ago 1 had q little expe-
rience which I've no doubt many mer-
chants can duplicate. 1 was q manag-
ing partner in a branch of one of the
most extensive houses in st. Louis. We
had q salesman whom we valued high

was falling in love with poker. / said
that he must be warned. The other
partner thought he was ali right, but
consented to the warning. In a few
months the man collected q bill and
lost the money ut poker. Ithon insisted
ON reporting a discharge to tho main
firm, but my partner stuck to his faith
in tho mans promises. Finally we COM
promised by retaining the delinquent
on condition that my partner notify the
firm that no would BIO personally re-
sponsible for losses caused by a repeti-
tion of the occurrence. We also sent to
every customer q notice that all bills
should be paid directly to our head
quarters.
"Plfo-G' six months had passed the

his pocket and reimbursed the firm. 1t
is not necessary to tell anybody who
knows gamblers hat he never received
q cent from the man he had befriended.

know what is good for them are more
afraid of gamblers than of anything

First Foreign Salute to our Flag.

In Quiberon bay there was n great
French fleet under the command of Adj
miral La Motto Picquet, and from him
Paul Jones obtained what he claimed to
be the first foreign salute ever given
the American flag. 1t is true that the
governor OF, one of the Dutch West India
islands had got in trouble the year be-
fore for ~saluting the American flag, but
La Motto Picquet's was undoubtedly
the first direct and unqualified salute.
1t was not obtained without some adj
dress as we'll as boldness on Paul Jones'
part, as the alliance between France
and the United States was not then
signed, but When the French admiral
agreed to salute he did it c~ourteously,
