GHOST IN A POKER GAME.
A Pat Hand I'm n Dig Jncker was
unchcd with Others.

81 was in little sittin' the other night
cut at private house. Folks gone
away, and the old man here in the city,
sIavin' his life away-that's what the
wimmin folks think-goin' to ball
games in the afternoon, eatin' Saint
Nick dinners an handlin' the chips till
two or three a. m.
"Game was progressin' right along
and gettin' sort of interestin' when q
jacker went aroun' three or four times
Only a 50-cent limit, but still the bones
in the middle O. the mahogany looked
just as temptin' as Klondike claim in
summer time. 1t went around some
more, and then il looked like two or
three claims. Ike broke it then for the
limit, of course. The old man raised
when it come his turn, and the rest OF
us stayed. Bob was in, but he never
looked at his cards, said n pot like that
said he'd like two cards. Looked like
he had aces, an was holdin' up n kick
err. Bob said one card was enough for
him. Flush, maybe. The old man
stood pat an told the dealer to hep his
sef. And he did, DRAWN honest and
gittin' three cards,
"Wthout lookin' at his cards after the
draw Ike pushed the limit to the center
sayin' somethin' about wishin' the
game was wide open and he'd burn tar
on us. The old man raised again, and
said he wouldn't care if the game was
thousand limit. Standin pat you
know. an bluffin' it through. Rest OF
'cm kept quiet, and put up without n
word. Not one of 'em had cold feet,
an it looked as if there would be n
few fellows borrown' chips before
long or DRAWN down markers. And
that's how it ended, too, when every
fellow was takin' out chip or two an
sayin' owe one till the pot looked thin
and pale. Whoever win was goin to
get the whole bank, sure. just then the
door bell rang like the house was afirc.
Waterman, reckon said the old
man. He opened the door, and n ghost
walked in. Least we thought so. There
was the old mans sister, who had seen
the light from her house n block away.
and She had come over to see what the
trouble was. Said she thought the old
man was sick. And he was, too, for that
pat hand of his was king full on tens.
The ghost scared us, and the first thing
Ike did was to shove all the chips into
the box. Thought the old mans wife
had come home on the sudden.
Just having little game of whist,
Emily, and we didn't think what time
it was
Emily went away as mad rs wet
hen, but the old man was madden when
he saw that the bones had been showed
out of sight, and the hands punched.
But it had to go. Told him we thought
we were to be pulled, and didn't want
any signs to incriminate us."-Cincin-

Evils of Chewing Gum.

Aside from being an unpleasant habit
and one not approved rs good form,
gum-chewing is productive of facial de-
formities, whcTSA~<Tikely to increase
until they distort the countenance and
entirely alter the natural expression.
The continued use of one set of muscles
enlarges and strengthens them. and
consequently makes them more prom
inent. There have been several Instances
where medical advice has been sought
upon the idea that there was some
swelling or enlargement of the muscles
or glands, although no pain had been
felt. Gum-chewers ordinarily use but
one side of the mouth, thus throwing
an undue amount of work upon that
side of the face. 1t is well to distribute
this labor equally between the muscles
of the jaws if the practice must be per-
sisted inn. Y. Ledger

NoN-CoMMlssloNED OFFICERS.
Military Life Very DistastefuI to a
Frenchman.

The question of non-commissioned
officers is in itself serious one, as the
French have long recognized. SO APP
parcntiy distasteful is the military life
to the average Frenchman that when
his short period of service is over he
can with the greatest difficulty be in
duced to reengage to complete n longer
period as "sous-officier." In 1889 the
reengaged sous-offciers in the French
army-that is, men of over three years
service-numbered but 10000.
Even in our own small regular force
we have at present upward Of $4,000
sergeants. Such n figure is quite in
| adequate for the purposes of an army
with n peace strength Of over 500 900
and an estimated war strength Of about
eight times that size.
SO obvious was the danger that in
ducements were offered in 1850 on what
even we should consider liberal scale.
in the shape OF bountes, increased pay,
pensions on leaving. and eventual civil
employment to those "sous-officiers"
who should reengage beyond three
years for even comparatively short
terms; and these measures caused the
numbers of reengaged men to rise to
over $4,000 in 1893, but at considerable
cost
The law OF 1893 reduced these adj
vantages in some particulars, with the
immediate result that the reengage-
ment fell Oft, so that on January /, 1896,
the numbers of reengaged "sous-ofii-
ciers" had sunk below 1G,O0O-lower
| than ever.
A new law, restoring some of the
privileges of this very Important class,
has lately been passed, and it is hoped
that the numbers may again rise
