A Strange Find.

John Hudson, prominent reserva-
tion farmer, made most remarkable
discovery on his farm in the Big Canyon
a few days ago. While building fence
near by his house he was attracted to
large pile OF rocks which had evidently
been placed there with system, and up
on investigation found that they hid
from view novel treasure represented
In a I4-horse power engine and two
stamp quartz mill. The engine and
mill had never been used, and from
their condition when discovered they
evidently had been left there many
wears ago. MIR. Hudson has made ex-
tensive enquiry 10 find the owner but
without success. The discovery, how
ever, has revived the story of the cele-
brated adventurer, Robinson, and his
operations In this sections during the
mining excitement of early days, and
| Il Is supposed that the discovery made
by Mr.. Hudson unfolds another chapter
in connection with this affair. 1t is
stated that the engine and mill were In
transit to the Pierce City country'to
work on Robinson's famous mine, and
that the schemer's deception was ex-
posed before the plant reached the pro-
posed bonanza, and that the victims,
who we're California mining men, de.
serted the property where it was re.

Georgia Poetry.

A Georgia farmer has a son who
writes verse, but is too modest to submit
1t for publication. One day, when the
farmer was going to town he took a
bundle of poems along with him and
handed them to the editor.
They're pretty fair" said the editor.
"His rhyme is all right, but there's
something wrong with his feet"
"Well," said the farmer, 81 won't

rest of us did, that Martin was bluff
ing when he stood pat, and contented
himself with coming in without raise
every time it came his bet, until the
rest of us had dropped out. Then he
raised Gimartin the limit. Gilmartin
had jack-high flush and was cohfi-
dent, so they had it back and forth
till Gilmartin called and gave up s400
to an ace flush.
THAT was the heaviest pot for a long
time, but presently the two got to-
gether again, and Gilmartn lost 900

and Martin grew cooler. Then Gilman
tin became angry, though he controlled
himself tolerably well, and l was sure
Martin would beat him. So it proved.

two. He bet the limit, and the next man
laid down. Martin raised it the limit,
and another man and myself dropped
out. Gilmartin raised and the four!h b

the two alone again, and Martin raised
back.

BENTON LOUISIANA. THURSDAY, MARCH II, 1897.

Fort Smelling road near the Minnehaha
falls, partly for the enjoyment of The
moonlight and partly for a game sup
per such as the house was famous for
providing. Martin was one of the
party, and as there were two or three
other high rollers with us | had made
up my mind that it would be daybreak
before we would get back.
Il was right, but before the night was
over we had more excitement than had
expected. We had had the supper and
an abundance Of good wines with it,
and were sitting around the table en-
ioying some rarely good punch when
somebody proposed poker. No one OBJ
jected, and in few minutes there were
two games in progress, for there were
II in the party. Six played at one
table, and Martin and | and three others
were at the other. The game was n fair
~ st1f one, ten dollars being the limit,
and the cards ran we'll enough to build
up some heavy pots. We had all in
dulged freely enough to give ourselves
thoroughly to the enjoyment of the
hour, though we had not been drinking
heavily, and there wasn't man there
under the influence. Altogether it was
delightful occasion. Suddenly the
door opened and Gilmartin looked in.
81 don't want to rough in," bows
be said, but l stopped here to get sup
per on the way home, and the landlord
told me you were here, SO thought, I'd
ask you to take drink with me-

body knew and liked him, and a
bumper of punch was poured out for
him forthwith, his invitation being
peremptoriiy laid Cd the table.
Then, as matter of course,
it was suggested that he take hand
in the game, and he being more than
willing, he sat at our table.
"'We're playing ten dollars limit, Gill;
said one of the party, who knew that
money was not always plentiful with
the big fellow. But he laughed care
| lessly, and said: That's all right as
he pulled out $50 and bought chips.
Martin looked at him rather keenly,
as thought, for an instant, and said:
Been out to St. Paul tonight. CLIP

sure that saw a half-laughing look of
defiance on his face as he answered. 1t
| puzzled me at the moment, but l un-
derstood the question and the answer
afterward. Martin, it seemed, suspected
that Gilmartin had perfected his ar
rangements to go electioneering, and
that he had the money in his pocket
with which he was expected to do his
work. 1t was this that he had asked
| by implication, and Gilmartin, under
standing him perfectly, and knowing
that he could not keep his secret long
from the other, had admitted it. AS
it proved, he had $4,000 in greenbacks
with him.
''The game went on without any spe-
cial development for perhaps half an
hour before noticed that Martin was
playing against Gilmartin as heavily as
he could, and only trying to hold his
own against the rest of US. Gilmartin
held his end up fairly, and was not far
from even when Martin got his first
good chance at him. 1t was pretty
play, too, for Gilmartin thought, us the

sive. He, too, hesitated moment, and
then he spoke:
"Ill put up $500 more, if you want
to play for it, he said.
"'But how can l? tell you haven't
any more money! said Gilmartin, look
ing puzzled.
eff you will give ME your promise to
go as far south as St. Louis for 60 days,
and tell nobody that you are going, I'll
take that as an equivalent for the S., ,O00,'

"Gilmartin flushed. He knew that

to hear an indignant outburst of inyec.
tive and abuse, and indeed the man was
about to speak when another thought
seemed to strike him, and he grew
deathly white. The gambling fever had
seized him, and he looked at his cards
again.
while he was hesitating Martin
spoke again, and the devilish GOODNESS OF
his speech made me shudder.
"I need not say anything to impress
on the minds of all the gentlemen pres,
ent that this is private party he said,
'and that nothing which happens hero
can be told outside while it can by any
possibility work injury to anyone con,

"Gilmartin looked around at every
man in the room, and seeing by oul
faces that we all recognized the obliga.
ton, he seemed nerved, as Martin had
meant that he should be, to take the
risk
"'Tll take the bet,' he said at length,
and he spoke desperately. But God help
you, Martin, if you win it. l don't be-
ieve you can, for I've got almost sure

"'Correct,' said Martin, and the hands
were shown.
Martin had drawn to kings and caught
the other two. Gilmartin had drawn to
three queens and drawn the other.
His face as he left the room was such
picture as l hope never to see again
but he kept to his bargain. AT least,
imagine he did, for he was not seen
again in that part of the country while

Properly Prepared, 1t Makes a Delight
full Dish. s.t
Some one, in speaking of tripe, called
IT "the poor relation in the meat fam
ily." A wise housewife, however, says
that it is nutritious and healthful, be-
sides being one of the most easily di-
gested of the animal foods. Tripe, when
it comes from the butcher, is boiled or
picked. 1t should be soaked in salt and
water, then thoroughly washed and
again put in the water and allowed to
simmer a short time, or until it is ten
der. This is a sure way of treating it,
and when it has been so treated the old
saying, tough as tripe," will not be
suggested. When the tripe becomes
cold prepare it in any way desired.
Honeycomb tripe will not require so
much cooking as the plain. For stewed
tripe cut cooked tripe into pieces, and
for one cupful of tripe soften one table
spoonful of butter in frying pan and
then stir into it a tablespoonful of flour.
Stir until it is frothy and cooked, but
not Drowned. Turn in slowly half q
pint of rich milk, stirring all the while.
Season with half teaspoonful of onion
Juice, some salt and cayenne pepper.
Then add the prepared tripe and toss 1t
in the sauce until it is heated through
then turn into a hot, covered dish and
serve. For broiling use the thicker part
of the tripe. Honeycomb is the best.
Sprinkle it with salt and pepper, rub
with melted butter and dredge with
-four before laying it on wire broiler
and lightly browning each side over a
clear fire. Put the tripe upon a hot
platter and pour little melted butter
over it. Serve at once, garnished with
parsley and sliced lemon. This makes
an excellent breakfast dish. When tripe
has been in the pickle and it is to be
broiled it should be rinsed in cold wa
ter and stewed in part milk and part
water before it is seasoned and broiIed.

SUITABLE STREET GOWNS.
Costumes for the Winter Season Approved
by Dame Fashion.

by Dame fashiOn.
The gowns which most interest our
readers at present are those designed
for the street, travelling and for general
wear, and are made with less fullnesS
and weight than heretofore. The skirts
are made up with five, six or seven
cores, depending upon the width of the
material, which governs economy in
cutting. The seven-gored skirt is rath
er the favorite, and Is used when the
material warrants it. The back is
plated or gathered, and the space at
the top containing the fullness is very
narrow. Some of the skirts that are
plated in the back are laid in tiny side
plaits graduated to a narrow space at
the top, the outer plaits overlapping
the inner ones. Street skirts are made
from Az to Az yards in width, and
all fit closely across the front and
hips. with an easy hang across the
front and sides at the bottom. All the
fullness is worked toward the back
breadths, which are cut with a bias
Seam directly in the back, to give the
standing-out effect SO much desired.
Many dressmakers are wiring the tops
of their skirts in the lining across the
back, to give slight hustle effect.
A small pad directly under the dress
band in the back which fills in hol-
low found in most figures is an addi-
tion to all gowns, and the weight is real
ly less felt.
The drop-skirt is much used, and is
economical where one wishes to use the
same lining for several skirts. The lin.
ing, which is usually of silk, is cut and
fit precisely like the outside, and can
be hung from separate bands or at
tached TO the same belt. If worn with
one skirt alone, hang them from the
same band and catch all the seams
once lightly together up distance Of
20 inches from the bottom.
Sleeves were never more varied in
style or more becoming to the figure.
than the sleeve of to-day, which makes
the hug or much exaggerated sleeve
covering of a short year ago look in
deed like burlesque. The prevailing
sleeves are fitted as snugly as is COM
Portable, from the wrist to consider
able distance above the elbow, above
which we find puffs, frills or draped
fullness, which may be tucked, shirred
or plated, but no fullness is carried on
the under part of the sleeve. The very
small leg-o'-mutton sleeve still finds
favor, especially on gowns of quite
heavy material. While many of the
sleeves show trimmed top-that is,
the fullness trimmed with bands, straps
or galloons-the best style street gowns
show sleeves of comparative plainness,
and must fit to perfection. Skirts for
the street show a variety OF foot trim
ming, though the elegance of the plain
| ly finished skirt still holds it's own in
the handsomer and heavy weight ma
terials.-Woman's Home Companion.
