HE COULDN'T WIN.
A Poker Player Used Coffee BcRns for
China md Ills Wife Ate Them.

There is Il certain wcll-knuwn young
gentleman in Washington whose predi-
lections for the great American game
pf poker are known To his better half
and seriously objected tn. So strenu-
ous has been her opposition TO this
somev hat exciting form Of amusement
that she cNacted promise not long
ago from her husband that he would
not succumb to the seductive wiles of
the game except for fun. She did not
object tn his having fun that way il
he wanted to, but real gambling didn't
go. So he promised and kept the prom
Use until one night a short time ago.
Then the wife had an engagement to
go with a little theater party, and he
took advantage of the occasion to in
vite half dozen friends up to the
house.
"I,ut YOU mustn't bring any chips"
he insisted. MY wife is suspicious of
chips. I'll have lot of coffee berries
instead"
All agreed to accept coffee berries as
substitute for the worries, and all
turned up at the house as soon as the
wife had joined her party. The chips,
or coffee grains, were doled out by
the banker and the game started. Ow-
ing to the warmth of the room, win
dow near the hosts seat had been
raised. Luck was with the host. The
game progressed quietly, and near
IL every pot found its way
eventually To the stack of berries ut
his side, until he had enough to make
beverage for the crowd. by IL o'clock
two or three had dropped out and gone
home, and those who remained had
given all their coffee beans to their
entertainer Then the wife returned.
She noted with evident satisfaction
that the game was devoid of anything
as suspicious as chips, and greeted all
pleasantly. Then she stood leaning on
her husbands chair, chatting about the
play. As she chatted she carelessly fin
gered the little pile of coffee beans,
and at every other word would care
lessly flip one or two of them out of
the window, or overwhelmingly put
one in her mouth and bite it in pieces.
The banker saw and grinned with tiend-
ish glee. Every grain of coffee which
she cast to the winds or ground up be-
tween her pretty teeth represented a
quarter. At every fresh flip her hus-
bands eyes opened wide; his stare be-
came more maniacal. BY the time the
pile had dwindled down to half its
original size he was on the verge of
imbecility, but he saved himself and
the rest of his pile. Springing up in
the middle of story his wife was tell
ing he said:

Mary looked and wondered, and there

band sadly cashed in his diminished
pile, and the game broke up.-Wash-

A WORD OF ADVICE
To Th"se Coming to Alaska or the
kIOndiLe Gold Fieids.

One thing should be impressed upon
rNcry miner. prospector or trader COM
ing To Alaska, to the klondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is the neces-
sity for providing an adequate and
proper food supply. Whether procured
in the States, in the Dominion, or at
the supply stores here or fur'her on,
this must he his primary concern.
Upon the manner in which the miner
has observed or neglected this precau-
lion more than upon any other one
thing will his success or failure depend
These supplies must be healthful and
should be concentrated, but the most
careful attention in the selection of
foods that will keep unimpaired in
definitely under all the conditions
which they will have to encounter is
imperative. For instance, us bread
raised with baking powder must be re-
lied upon for the chief part of every
meal, imagine the helplessness of Il
miner with n can of spoiled baking
powder. Buy only the very best flour;
it is the cheapest in the end. Expert
encc has shown the Royal Baking Pow
Ter to be the most reliable and the
trading companies now uniformly sup
ply this brand. as others will not keep
in this climate. BE sure that the bacon
is sweet, sound and thoroughly cured.
These are the absolute necessities upon
which all must place chief reliance,
and can under no circumstances be
neglected. They may. of course, be
supplemented by as many comforts or
delicacies as the prospector may be able
to pack or desire To pay for.-Adska

DR.. George Waitemath, of Germany,
Gives Its Exact Location.
The cable news that DIR. George Waite
math, of Hamburg, Germany, has dis
covered the long sought second satel-
lite of the earth will be received with
great interest by all astronomers. For
centuries the idea that there might be
a second moon attending the earth has
been entertained by some astronomers.
Various observations of circular spots
seen crossing the surface of the sun
and unknown luminous planets in the
sky have been thought to lend proba-
bility to the theory that there is such
n second moon attending our planet.
OF the position of this planet DR..
Waltemath, in a statement in a local
paper, says:
THE following data will accurately
describe and locate the new moon to all
astronomers: Average period, IT,
0O593 days; sidereal period, 119.227i34

A PRETTY INCIDENT.
The Kindness of n spanish Lady to q
Lone soldier hoy.

Lone soldier hoy.
A recent traveller in Spain describes
touching scene witnessed at the depar-
ture of regiment for Cuba. All day
long there had been heard the meas
ured tread of soldiers marching through
the street; all day long gayly bedecked
boats had been passing to and from the
vessel that was to take them to Havana.
The twilight began to deepen when the
correspondent saw startling and
pretty sight"-the impetuous action of
portly, good-looking and vell-dressed
lady, who noticed young soldier walk
ing dejectedly along down the pier in
his travelling gray, with knapsack
strapped over his shoulders. All the
rest of the men had friends, their
novias, mothers, relatives, and made
the usual gallant effort to look elated
and full of hope. This lad had no one,
and it might be OWNED that he was car
rying n desolate heat over the seas.
The handsome woman burst from her
group of friends, took the boys hand,
and said: my son has already gone to
Cuba. He is in the regiment of Andalu-
STA, and sailed two months ago. You
may meet him, Pope e.; take this kiss
to him." She leaned and kissed his
cheek"
An English boy would have shown
awkwarness, but these graceful
southerners are never at a loss for a
pretty gesture and prettier wool
The boy blushed with pleasure, and still
holding the lady's hand, said with quite
natural gallantry, without smirk or
silly smile: And may not take one
for myself as well. senora?" The lady
Redeemed, laughed little nervously,
and bent and kissed him again to the
rantic applause of soldiers and civil
ians, while the boy walked on, braced
and happy.-Blackwood's Magazine.
