DOugherty'S Bluff.

In those days Dougherty wouldn't go in
d game unless his fellow players could
show $4,000, says the Chicago Times
Herald. He wasn't tin horn" When he
ordered a drink he threw a FLYER" on the
counter, and if any change was offered in
return he was insulted. But hard times
struck the west and poker became a
scarce article. When he had got down to
his last $4,000 he went to New York
While there he learned that In Persia the
young men played poker fairly well, and
that when they got a hand that amount
ed to anything they would bet on it till
the COWS came home. So to Persia Dough-
erty sailed. He had no trouble in being
introduced, and down there he was soon
a popular fellow among the young princes,
even if he couldn't talk Persian. They
play poker somewhat differently there to
what they do in this country. A little
dog" will beat sequence and four deuces
beat four aces. Again there is never any
money in sight. A man sits near the table
and records the best, and a settlement is
made after the game is over what a snap
that would be for lot of Chicago boys.
This bookkeeper, or whatever they call
him, is also linguist,
and whenever foreigners play
with the princes. as In Dougherty's
case, he tells of the raise and such like.
Well, one night Dougherty had been trail
ing in on nearly every hand only to be
beaten in the SHOW down" Finally he
caught a pair of skies about the time one
of tn perinces caught four of a kind. There
had been deal of ''pollyin" and "horse
play" going on all the night, Dougherty
of course. couldn't understand the words
that were being spilled out around him
every second, but he never said anything
or looked Interested He would simply
skin his cards. come in when he wanted
to or lay down. just as the notion struck
him. When he picked up his skies he
looked the. Persian in the eye and the Per-
sian laughed,
'"Iru-ie-lu," said the Persian.
"Guying me, l reckon" said Dougher-
ty. but I'll give you some of your own
sort of words. Tru-le-lum."
"True-le-lil-lo," said the Persian.
"True-le-lele -lilI-lole-lum, replied
Dougherty; but scarcely before he could
get the words out of his mouth the young
prince threw down his four of kind,
kicked the table over, fell forward on a
sofa lying near and broke out In a sob.

The hot weather has been productive Of
some remarkable alligator stories from
Florida both as 70 the size of some Of the
recently captured saurisns and as to their
antics. In one section Of the state the al
lgators are said to nave shown decided
fondness for dog flesh, and to make spec
ial efforts to supply themselves with it.
In another section it is said some of the
Florida Seminoles punished on clipping
couple by tying them to stakes and allow
ing them to be eaten alive BY the alhga-
tors The Florida alligator editor may
have discovered some foundation for his
new set Of tales, but it must be remember
cd also that there are afiidavits as to the
existence of the sea serpent. Florida, how
ever. has for sometime been ia need Of
new alligator data.

She Came Back.

Being rich and proud, the old railroad
magnate would give a reasonable fortune
if this incident in his career had never
become public, says the Detroit Free
Press. He had left his Office one after
noon, and in front of the building found
a crowd, attracted by passing process

when stopped by a brilliantly handsome
young woman, whose face wore troubled
look. She wanted to reach a street in the
northwestern part OF the city, and was at
a loss what route 10 take lie CALAMITY
helped her out Of the crush, put her on
the right car and told her where TO get
off. Wanting to know the time a few
minutes later, he dove into his watch
pocket. only to find Il unoccupied. A little
profanity was followed BY a chuckle, for
the watch taken was a cheap affair he
was carrying while his time-piece was
being repaired.
He had never suspected the beautiful
young lady, but the next day she appeared
IN tears and restored the stolen watch.
She was sorely pressed for money, had no
one to whom she could go for help. and
had yielded TO a momentary impulse. But
her conscience gave her no rest until she
relented and made restitution. She had
thrown herself on his mercy and the cd
gentleman was deeply moved He insisted
on her taking so. TO be returned II she

The fact that Senator Hanna spent a
night or two in the white house as the
Presidents guest led to the report that he
had permanently taken up his residence
there until the dissolution Of congress
This report, however. the senator indig-
nantly denies, saying he has never had
any intention of becoming a boarder or a
lodger at the white house. But then Sen
ator Hanna does not need to move into the
white house in order to run the executive
branch of the government.

another decision which is calculated to
extend the pension lists. by providing that
soldiers wounded in service, though not

pensions. But this Is only In line with
the departments policy in extending the
pension lists. The administration would
no doubt like to see every republican

A "Don,tn Abolished.

The commissioners OF Central park
New York, have set an example which
should be followed by other park author
tiles. They have ordered the removal of
the signs. Keep OF the Grass" and here
upon their public grounds without the
fear of being hauled up in the police
courts. 1t is understood, of course, that
persons will not be permitted to abuse the
privilege thus conferred by destroying the
grass, but they may walk upon it or lie
down and loD upon it, and the small folks
may frolic upon it to their hearts content
It is something to be thankful for, this
order of the Central park commissioners
because park authorities in other cities
will fau into line with the more liberal
spirit exhibited. There is a great deal of
grass and great many grass plots in Sa-
vannah, but the grass Is all fenced in
with "donts." No short cuts are allowed
across squares under a penalty of s25, and
some people have a tender recollection of
having paid that amount for the prlvi-
lege OF walking upon natures carpet as
IL is cared for by the city authorities.
