A VERY QUEER DEAL.
N A FAMOUS GAME OF DRAW POKER
IN OLD DAKOTA.

The Dealer Gave His Rival Four
Jncks and Himself Four Queens.
When the Show Down Came. the
Jacks Hnd Turned to Aces.
Ia the northwest they still talk about
the last poker game that Major Ed
wards and Stanley Huntley played to-
gether. They were pioneer editors of
newspapers in Dakota in the old terri
torial days. Huntley had just sold his
paper in Bismarck for 81, 500 cash and
was coming east. He and the major had
sat in many quiet game together, and
Huntley went over to the majors Office
to say goodby and play one last game
The major produced the cards, locked
the door. and the two. faced green ta-
BILE.
The major had the reputation of be-
ing a skillful dealer, and Huntley g
previous experiences had taught him
that cards sometimes appeared in the
majors hand on a show down whose
legitimate existence could only be ac-
counted for on the hypothesis that the
age of miracles had not passed. So he
had fortified himself for this farewell
game not only with the 81, 500 which
he had received for his newspaper prop
erty. but also with four large but not
overworked aces.
There was no limit, but for an hour
the game went along quietly enough.
The major was out $500 or S40O. but,
as both players remarked, the game was
young yet. At last jack pot for $50
came and remained. Back and forth
across the table went the deck Neither
man could get openers. Each time the
deal passed the pot was sweetened $40
At last there was $3.50 on the table
The major dealt. Huntley looked over
his cards and found four jacks.
As has been said. the major was a
slick dealer, and when big pool was
at stake and it was his deal he gener-
ally managed to give his opponent a
good stiff hand while taking care that
he himself had one just shade better.
So, when Huntley found the four
jacks in his hand it seemed to him that
the time had come to precipitate his
four aces into action The jacks were
retired unostentatiously, and with a
faint-a very faint-shade of disap-
pointment in his voice Huntley an
nounced:
81 can't break it. -
The major was still examining his
cards with that hesitating air that some
people always believe means studying
out straight Finally he said:
'1'll have to break it for $500 It's
big pot.
Huntley looked mournful and said
''I'll stay Gimme card. -
None for me- announced the major
briskly. as he threw over card and
laid down the deck ''I'll bet you $780,
''I'll raise you $500. said Huntley
Five hHndred more, said the major.
"When sat down. said Huntley,
81 had So, 500 in my pocket. I'll raise
you the full amount of that on this one

EVEN LAKE
Is Interested In That City Commits
si0ner. Deadlock.

BLAKE, May 24-Mrs Mahala Iced.
mother of Al and John Iced, of
Uniontown hotel fame, was very
much surprised lately to secure a
call from an aged stranger who in
formed her that he was her half
brother whom she had not seen for
% years. This gentleman's name is
Simon Enck, who resides in Canal
Dover, and is past so years of age.
Mrs Iced is past the 20 mark. To
say that this aged couple enjoyed
themselves on this occasion is put
ting it very mildly. They had not
seen each other since they parted in
Pennsylvania more than half a CEN
tury ago. Mr. E is quite wealthy and
is at liberty to go where he chooses
and when, but no inducement could
tempt him to remain at his sisters
residence over night. He must start
for home, and start he did, and got
there too. He remarked that ''small
boys and old men ought always.to be
at home after dark"
The cheese factory has changed
hands in so far as a property transfer
is concerned, but will run as usual
under the management of Mr. Chris
tan Se1Der.
Corn planting is going vigorously
forward.
A rumor of vast and sorrowful pro-
portions was in circulation last week
as to the stampede of horses and wild
animals at the Main show at Akron
during the storm on show day. Ac-
cOrding to the story scores of women
and children We're killed, manned
and injured, huge elephants were
browsing at the Old Forge, ostriches
were roosting on the city building,
while the lions and bears had cor
nered Young and Anderson and de-
manded the settlement of the COM
missioner appointment; but when
the DEMOCRAT arrived it dispelled
all sorrow, except perhaps. that it
was really pity that the bears and
lions didn't get loose and do the cor
ner act. The storm was quite mild
in this vicinity.
