profit it a man to hold four aces and
iud no victim. It mad got TO the second
Jew. With faint ray Of hope that the
other might possibly be induced to
contribute a little, a small bet was made.
The first Jew smiled and raised it. The
second Jew smiled, saw it and raised.
That was the beginning. With visions
Of easy wealth and Oppulence at the ex-
penss Of a hated rival, the two worthless
with the invincible hands, cautiously
but rapidly, raised the betting. Soon
the table and personal stakes we're ex-
hausted. A banker was sent for and
certified to their checks as they drew
them. On their bank accounts being
expended and neither appearing will
ing to make a call the farm Of each was
wagered and deed drawn; the stocks Of
goods and store building followed after
the legal preliminaries had been attend
ed to by an accommodating attorney.
Their dwelling houses and chattels
quickly followed. It was not until the
last vsstige of the wealth of each was
represented in the pot before
them that a call was agreed
to by either. With hands trembling
with suppressed emotion each laid
down his cards and attempted to sweep
the winnings toward him. They met
at the table center, and as neither had
paid any attention to the other hand,
they few at each others threats under
the impression an attempt was being
made to steal the pot. The convulsing
spectators finally parted them and ex-
planned that each had had four aces.
The faces of the bafHed ones, with their
expressions Of disappointment, rage
and thwarted greed was a study for a
painter. Thus ended the stiffest poker
game ever played in Kansas.

To the teachers of Sherman County:
Realizing the fact that q higher aud
better grade of work is needed among

SeVenth-That every teacher must bt
prompt on time and see that the schoo
room is warm and in comfortable con
dition to begin school at nine o'clock
sharp and keep full six hours, ommit
ting no classes of the daily programme
through indolence-any complaint il
writing from the district officers will
be carefully weighed by the board.
Eighth-That each teacher should
try and make the school room as at
tractiVe as possible.
The above rulings will be held suf
ficient cause for withholding or cancel
ing the certificate of any teacher vic
lating any or all of them.

The assiduity with which some peo-
pie work a sure thing is wonderful to
behold. In certain town, not so
many miles from Goodland, lived two
gentlemen Of Hebrew lienage. Both
we're clothiers, and had, by close atten-
ton to business-and frugal habits
acquired a gOodly portion of worldly
goods. Being rivals in business, each
hated the other as only a Jew can hate.
Both had the reputation Of playing a
ciuch at poker to the last farthing.
One night these worthy descendants of
Father Abraham were inveigled into a
game in which it was arranged, priority,
that after few hands had been played
on the square, a cold deck should be
introduced and four aces given to each.
The play had been tipped of to the
select, and goodly crowd was present
to witness the show. The cold deck
vas introduced, and the pleasant look
on the beak of each betokened that the
well-laid plans had not miscariied. AT
ter the draw each one OF the victims was
seen to coyertly pinch himself to be as
sured that the four one-spots staring
him in the face were a reality. After
this became certainty. the thought in
the mind Of each vas, how best to play
the inYineible hand TO bespoil his fell
iew gamesters. The first Jew checked
his hand, and, as one by one the other
players dropped out, thelookof despair
on the face Of the one vas mirrcred IN
tie physsognomy of the other What

a new industry has sprung up in
Kansas within the past few weeks, that
of hunting jack rabbits for their pelts,
which find ready sale at numerous
points in the state where they are col
lected and shipped to hat manufactor-
les in the east. The discovery that the
gay and festive jack has a commercial
value will undoubtedly prove his I'M
doing. The buffalo throve and multi
piled upon the western plains so his
numbers were as the sands of the sea
until be became a commodity. Then
the market hunters declared unrelent-
ing war upon him and he disappeared
as in a night. The Kansas jack rabbit
is not constructed on graceful lines,
but despite his ugliness and ungaini-
ness, he is one of the picturesque feat
ures of all typical prairie scenes, and a
great favorite with the eOursiug clubs
by reason of his wonderful fleetness,
The fur of the jack rabbit, it has been
sseertained, is better adapted to hat
making than any other material, and it
is because of this fact that it will soon
cease to decorate the Kansas landscape
Heretofore nc effort has been made to
save the hides of the millions of jacks
that have been slain by Kansas hunt
ers. Rabbit hunters now find added
zest to their favOrite sport, for they are
enabled to dispose of the hides fol
enough to yield them a nice profit, il
addition to having the usual amount Of
enjoyment, Vale, jack.

Tuesday was grounding day, and the
shadows and the sunlight we're care
fully observed by those who pin their
faith to the traditional sagacity Of the
Iowly grounding. Ever so long ago a
certain grounding was seen, by the
first authority on grounding affairs, to
emerge from his hiding-place upon the
End day Of February, and proceed at
once to a solution of the weather prob
abilities. The sun was brightly shin
ing, and as be saw his shadow cast up
on the ground, it frightened him and
he returned to his hole in haste and
remained there six weeks, during which
time the winds and snow held high
carnival on earth. The next year the
same grounding was seen by the same
authority to appear upon the End OF
February. This time the sun was not
shining and the grounding did not see
his shadow so he remained out, and the
weather proved his sagacity to have
been infallable. This was the begin.
ing, but ever since, the prophecy of the
grounding has been accepted by
weather prophets and Projectors Of
crops and failures. As Tuesday was q
fair day and the grounding able to see
his shadow, it is we'll to look for some
stormy weather between now and the
third week in March,
