Washington Post.
A middle-aged Maryland farmer, who
picked the right ones to the tune OF near
ly $500 at the Rockville fair races, got
into Washington on the night following
the wind-up of the fair. He was hunting
for joyance, and three cheerful workers
got hold Of him and nudged him into a
four-handed poker game The farmer
didn't know much about the game, out
he won steadily for the first hour. Then
the cheerful workers went at him in a
bunch, and they took his winnings and
his own bundle off him so fast that it
made him sneeze. One of them got
"sQuee-jib" which he explained as be-
ing a hand that couldn't be shown, and
raked down $135 of the Maryland mans
money Another got a lallapaloosa, con-
sisting of three clubs and a pair OF
spades, and took SS5 Of the farmers mon

TAVERN AGAIN REoPENED.


The tavern was closed, however, from
April l of this year until July. when the
business men of the town determined to
reopen it. Ralph Thyng was installed as
tavern keeper, and at a banquet thirty
six business men pledged him their sup
port The thirty-seVenth merchant of the
town. Hobart Pillsbury, was absent from
the banquet.
Hobart shortly before, through clever
political management had two prohibit
ticnists elected as members of the board
Of selectmen. AS there are but three mem
bers in the board the temperance Pills
burys had a majority in control of the
town.
Now the Derry tavern is a most mys-
ferrous place in many ways. Every one
of the unlucky tavern keepers who start
ed to run it boosted beforehand of hay
ing some safe but secret method of dis
pcrsing liquor to his patrons. The result
has been that the tavern is full of traps
from cellar to garnet
1t has frequently occurred that some
patron of the tavern, while leaning
against a wardrobe or accidentally touch
ing a section of wall. would see the
lid Of a trap" fly open, disclosing a store
of beer or other intoXicants to his aston
ished gaze. 1t is within the traditions of
the tavern that men have partalen of
cocktails from an oil lamp or have had
libations served them from d section of
4 steam radiator.
Reports reached the members of the
Law and Order league that men were con-
tinually ascending the back stairway Of
the tavern. guided by the tavern keeper,
who carried an electric searchlight, with
which to lead his patrons to one of the
hidden traps"
Writs were handed to Frederick Pills
bury, justice of the peace, who empower
ed Constable Calvin H. Bradford to make
a raid on the tavern. The constable
searched the halls and rooms for traps"
and finally came to a locked door, which
the tavern keeper refused to open.
That's Rose Pillsbury's ROOM said
Mr.. Thyng. He dimes and entertains
his friends there"
CONFISCATED THE BEER.
The suspicious constable tried to break
open the door, but as his efforts proved
fruitless, he climbed through the tran
som and discovered an ice chest in the
room filled with bottles of beer
The temperance Pillsburys rejoiced
greatly thereat and had the tavern keeper
arrested. The opposing faction then re-
plevired the beer and had the constable
arrested for breaking and entering. So
high did the feeling run in the town that
no pilice magistrate or justice of the
peace could be found to dispose of the
cases, which have therefore been laid be-
fore the county prosecutor at Portsmouth.
Rosecrans Pilsbury, incensed at what
he termed the persecution instigated by
his relatives, announced that he would
withdraw the $50, 900 invested in the shoe
factory and remove all his business in
terests from the town.
