A certain Avenue merchant Of Hebraic

fattened chicken for his Saturday dinner
concluded to drop into a popular resort
for game of solo, as a relaxation after
bis business cares. The game was
quickly made, but his associates eyeing
the plump pullet with hungry eyes pro.
posed putting 10 "bit" each and play
ing for the bird. The owner assented to
THIS. feeling confident OF his skill to retain
the fowl and at the same time gather 10
q little loose silver. The game. however,
went against him but when the winner
went to look for the bird it had myster-
iously disappeared. Investigation de-
veloped that the merchants son, who
was in the house. was averse to being
robbed Of his dinner and seeing that the
cards were running against his pater he
surreptitiously slipped the chicken under
his coat and left for home. The winner.
who was also the loser, has. come to the
conclusion that he has a pretty tough
game on his hands when he attempts to
to play against both members of that
family.
Recently young and attractive look
ing woman made her appearance at
one OF the principal hotels of the city
and registered as Mrs. Smythe, Of Seattle.
She was assigned to room "a, but the
anxiety she displayed to have the num-
Der on the register aroused the suspicious
Of the proprietor to the belief that all
was not as it should be, and ne changed
the marking to A. Shortly afterwards
well known married man dropped into
the hotel and after scanning the list OF
arrivals walked out but was subsequently
seen slipping up the side stairway. A
few minutes later the night clerk went
up stairs and found the interloper cropping
about the halls in vain search for a
missing number. The frigid looks of the
clerk caused him to mutter an unintellig-
able excuse and take his departure and
it is probably by this item that he will
learn for the first time that there is no
Room A in the house.
