Ephraim Enterprise: The house COM

to allow the silver leaders to present to
the committee their views on currency

OLD ACQUAINTANCES MEET
How an Elderly Man Kept Passenger
From Being Fleeced

Some years ago a young man with
more money than sense became involved
in a game of poker on one of the English
ships. The first night he won freely
and had big stack of red and blue
chips to cash in when the game closed
The second night he had to play in
order to give opponents a chance to re-
cover, and toward the end of the even
ing lost heavily. He held good hands,
but somebody else always held better,
and he was compelled to go to the bank
several times. AS fast as he bought
chips they We're transferred to two
pleasant looking gentlemen who played
Irecklessly and sympathized with his
losses. When he did win it was only a
small pot and nobody else had anything
An old gentleman with a long white
beard, who was down on the passenger
list as Judge Something r-other from
California, had been overlooking the
game for an hour or more, when he
touched the youngster on the shoulder
and said:
Il say, young fellow let me spell you
for couple of hands around, just to
change thte luck
The young man was inclined to refuse,
but he noticed curious expression on
the judges face and changed seats
with him to see what would happen.
Twice the judge caught the gentleman
on the opposite side on a misdeal.
Twice he laid down his hand on the
ground that the wrong card was given
him. Two of the other players protested,
but the judge was very firm and dig
nified about it, and wouldn't even
answer their arguments. Three times
he requested the man opposite to him
to cut again, but he always did it in such
a quiet pleasant way that no offence
could be taken. Finally he proposed
that they play a round of jackpots and
quit. When that was done and he
showed the chips over the young man
whose place he had taken found himself
many dollars to the better. He offered
to divide the winnings, but the Judge
only smiled and lighted a big cigar and
said:
Put your money in your pocket, and
don't ever play with strangers again.
Those chaps are old acquaintance of
mine. 1 met them at Sacramento when
I was a member of the legislature sew
eral years ago, and I know their game"

"H'm?" replied her husband, with a
rising infection, as he turned page of
his paper.
Harold Hawkins I just believe you

is the rudest, most impolite person

where you go to be weighed every time
anybody says you are looking well, for

Angela, 1 do"
"Well, 1 went there yesterday, and
when / opened my pocketbook / found

going to have that changed and carry
four pennies home, so L was coming
away when I happened to see a 1-cent
stamp tucked down in the corner"
"Well?" said Mr.. Hawkins, with one
eye on his paper.

put that in the slot. 1t was worth E
