In some parts OF Germany, when the

Ladies' Home Journal. "one Of the
items of the programme might be
sketch of his life condensed into about
200 words. The Dickens drawings by
Charles Dana Gibson might be cut from
The journal and hung up before the au-
dience and the story OF each character

from 'Pickwlck could be arranged for
individual reading or for a number to
take part in it. A bright paper may be
written on The People of Dickens
World. In Dickens works there are
1850 separate characters, enough to peo-
PIE whole village.
"Some of Dickens poems have been
set to music-notably The Ivy Green
and would make a pleasant feature.
Anecdotes Of Dickens might be given by
ten or a dozen members, each giving
one. These might be interspersed
through the programme. A member
with any cleverness in photography
might make a series Of Dickens lantern
slides from pictures i'll standard editions
of the novelist works and give magic

Rich Han, Poor Man.

A short time ago a man who had seen
better days approached several benevo-
lent looking gentlemen at well known
hotel, asking for q meal Each one re-
pulsed him, until finally reporter,
who had just been paid off, invited
him to have snack with him. 1t was
a good snack, too and it took all the re-
porter's money. but he said it was a
satisfaction to him to know that the
poor man had one square meal at last
The incident reminded me OF the rich
man who told the poor man to work
He said he couldn't get work. but still
the rich man said, "You must work. p"
Some time after the rich man fell into
the water and called to the poor man to
rescue him. Swim, said the poor
man But can't swim, - said the rich
man We'll, said the poor man, you
must swim When a man asks aims,
it is always well to consider that some
day the situation may be reversed, and
then the man who can't swim must
drown Boston Traveller.

ELEVEN HANDS OF POKER
They Ought to Have Won Every Time,
but Didn't.

They Ought to Have Won Every Time,
but Didn't.
It's the bewildering uncertainties of
the great game of poker that make it SO
popular with most Americans. Systems
and the law of average do not seem to
obtain as much in the play of this game
as they do in most other games of chance
and skill This point never was more
strikingly illustrated than it was one
night not long ago 4n the short space OF
half an hour
The game is regular institution on
one of the late suburban trains out OF
New York. The first stop that is made
by this train is exactly 80 minutes after
the train leaves New York. The game
always starts on time, and the cards are
gathered up and the players jump on
usually as the train begins to get head
way otter the first stop
This explanation is necessary to fully
appreciate the array of hands that makes
/ the real point of this story One player
with a good memory held in the 30
minutes play the following hands, with
| these results:
| -Four aces-won. OF course.
| Five full on aces-beaten.
One fiuSE--beaten.
/ One straight-beaten.
| Three aces-beaten.
Four sets of aces up-all beaten.
! Three sevens-beaten.
| Queens up-won.
Jacks up-won.
| Tens up-won,
Mines up Oh fours-beaten.
In this really remarkable collection
of IL hands only Of them were win
ners ana yet the man who held then
says that he came out even. He go
scared on his five full and on his flusf
and Just called He lost considerable OF
his three aces but he wen more on hi
queens up that he held only once thai
he did on his four aces. His jacks Vi
netted him mere than any other hand
for he had them pat and played them s.
on the opening of fat jack pot.
The FIVE full was beaten by ten full
and the flush was beaten by queel
full None Of the other men i'll the gam
thought that his hand was especial.
strong or weak, and it would be expect
ed naturally that the array of hand
given above would quit the game con
siderably to the good if one did nc
know that most of them were beaten. :

only one who ever played the part with

it. We made money Our stage was the

we took off the play.

Contrasts.

Statistics show that the uneducated
factory girl is more frequently married
than is the wide awake, capable girl in
the higher salaried position OF stenog-
rapher, office assistant, clerk or trusted
secretary Tie factory girl is lot
thrown with people OF wealth ard 20
sition so much as is her mere talented
sister, and consequently when so!ae
honest man comes along she is ready to
trust her future with his i'll simple,
even shabby, little home. But the girl
who sees, day by day, the rustic OF my
lady's silks end the eourtly manners OF
my lady husband and sens will not be
content to give up her salary, however
difficult it may be to earn it, for the
sake Of being loved by a man who may
not find her so charming when the rent
is overdue and the babies need new
shoes. So she stays Oh, growing old and
acquiring deeper lines about her mouth.

GLUTTONY'S PENALTY.
Lives That Are Shortened by the Pleasures
of the Table.

In spite IF the warnings and COM
mands Of family physicians, in spite OF
the many examples Of shortened lives
and lives Of suffering. men will yield
to the seductiyeness of the pleasures OF
th. table. The spectacle of the man
who overeats or who deliberately eats
improper food is common enough, but
rarely do we zee as plain evidence OF
the admiration for the glutton which
cersain people possess as that which the
daily papers some time ago afforded. A
we'll known boniface died at an age
when he ought to have been enjoying
robust and vigorous health. Some slight
mention was made Of his business ven
lures, of his daily life, of his reason for
living. But all this part Of his exist
ence was unnatural and uninteresting.
The great and praiseworthy features of
his life seem to lave been gastronomic
feats and q central ability to eat and
drink enormously. He was lauded as
the prince Of bon vivants, the man who
could eat q hugo dinner and shortly
thereafter swallow brace of broiled

washed down with copious libations OF
vintages or distillages or fermentages.
During his last illness, when his ply.
sicians enjoined rest in bed and scru-
pulously careful diet, we read that he
was game enough to dress and go out
on the hotel porch to sit, winding up
his imprudence (and incidentally bis
life) with hearty meal, in defiance of
the medical directions. This last piece
of bravado was apparently considered
by certain newspaper reporters us an
achievement fit to rank with q victory
| on a battlefield, and the glutton was ad-
miringly mentioned as though be were
brilliant and fearless hero, riskins
his life IL worthy cause.
The newspapers were lot creating a
sentiment, but merely catering to one
already formed in thus aiding gluttony.

its cult, and that many mans motto
