travelling men snapped jokes, nailed lies
and told bigger ones. The stranger who
Just sat in to fill out the game contrib

Every once in while jovial drum
mer would announce that he had some
poker in his hand, and an occasional
side bet was made under the rules Of
the great American game.
Finally one of these challenges elicit
ed from the stranger an admission that
poker was about the only game Of cards
Of which he did not possess some knowl-
edge, but he had rather peculiar hand,
and because Of the value it would have
in other games he would just take a
chance.
Bets were rapidly made until there
was $3.50 in the pot, when call was
made, and the stranger awlkwardly ask
ed how many points his opponent had.

answer, "but / have four Fights. l rath-

the paralyzed drummer.
In the midst of the roar that followed
"a royal fush" was shouted by some
one, and the stranger was hilariously
assured that he had won. His surprised
face never gave away so much IA a
chuckle until he was alone that night.

STRIKE FOR A NINE.HOUR DAY.
Michigan state Printers Have Trouble on
Their Hands.

Lansing. Mich, July lone hundred
and forty employees in the different
branches Of the Robert Smith Printing
company, the successful bidders for the
state printing and binding this year.
went out on strike this morning. The
cause of this is the enforcement of the
nine hour work day. The union claims
that when bids for the state work were
advertised for last October the adver-
tisement specifically stated that bids
should be on the nine-hour work day
basis.
Among the bidders was a union
establishment, and in order to meet
their bid the Smith company figured on
the basis that the workmen would not
insist on the nine-hour day because of
the work being kept in a union shop.
The Smith company say it would in
volve a loss of from $4,000 to s20, 900 to
comply with the mems demands.
