BORROWED FROM GAMBLERS.
How Game Between Two ChicS= o
PoIice Reporters Interested
Big Players.

1t was a lively game of poker, says
the Chicago Chronicle. The bets at the
start were not large, because the play
ers did not have much money. The
scene was in the old reporters room
in the city hall and the players were
night police reporters. One was named
Peckham and another Jekiu.
l; was Peckham's deal. All dropped
out but JelliIl. who drew two cards
Peckham did not draw any. The bet
ting was fast and furious. Each player
pockets. Then each borrowed from his
friends.
I've got a good hand" said Peck
ham.
SO have l." replied Jekill. I'D bet
more money if l had it,
$50 would l." said Peckham. Lets
leave the hands here and 60 out and
borrow"
Gambling houses were running in
Chicago in those days. Peckham went
to Hankins' and JelliIl to John Con-
don's. Each told what his hand was
and each gained supporters. \ crowd
went back to the city hall, among them
being some Of the most prominent gam
blers in town. Bets were made in
larger amounts.
When the call came it was found
that Pcckham had straight flush in
spades with a king at the top and that
Jelliu had a straight flush in diamonds
headed by queen. The gamblers said
they were the two most remarkable
hands in one game they had ever seen.
Peckham, the winner, gave the party a
supper al which wine flowed freely.

HISTORIC BELT BUCKLES.
Philadelphia Firemen Have Them
Made from Bell Which Announced
American independence.

Hardly Of less historical interest than
the famous liberty bell OF Philadelphia
was the old clock bell which announced
the hour on July +, 1776, when the dec
laration of independence was promul-
gated.
The bell had been used in earlier days
to call asscmblages Of the citizens of
the Quaker city, but after the revolu-
ton il was lost.
Recently the Philadelphia Press dis
covered that the relic had been de-
stroyed. 1t had been bought for few
hundred dollars by the Roman Catholic
church of ST. Augustine for its steeple,
The whole clock machinery was bought,
but the question is yet unanswered as
to whether the dials were sold or not.
The church was burned down in 1914
Several of the tiremcn collected from
the mass of bell metal pieces broken
off by the fall of the tower and carried
them home as souvenirs. Several of the
fire laddies had these nodded into buc-
kles for their organization. the Humane
engine company, and one of the men
promises to bequeath to some museum
Of revolutionary relics his belt and huc-
ke, so that the country may have an
other remembrance of the browning
point in our history.
