ONLY ONE ON RECORD.
No Other Man Ever Came Out Aheae
of the Faro Game i'm Jack
son City.

The electric train from Alexandria
Was halted along toward three o'clock
in the afternoon at the south end OF
Long bridge. A boat was making for
the draw from up the river, and the
train had to wait for the draw to close.
One of the passengers in the smoking
car was seedy, bronZed, emaclated-
looking soldier, the crudely-painted
number on the side of whose frazzled
campaign hat showed that he belonged
to one of the mustering-Out immune
regiments. On the right of the point
at which the train halted stands one of
Jackson City's faro shacks, and man
in the seat behind the soldier pointed it
out to him.
Game going on in there now?' in
terest.
yep. All the time, replied the man.
''Well, here's where l git action on
my last fiver.'' said the soldier, and he
hoped off the train and made for the
faro layout. 4 Post man followed him
IN just to see how quick money could
be taken off the person of a soldier.
''Hain't got no time to fool with
chips" said the soldier, in western
twang, to the dealer, and he pulled
greasy five-dollar bill out of his trou
sers pocket. He studied the cases kept
by one of the seedy-loolSing pikers for
minute and then put the five dollars
down on the ace to win. The ace won.
Then he coppered the ace with the ten
dollars, and the ace lost. Then he
played the king open with the $50. and
the king came out on the right side.
He was going to put the $40 on the king
to win again. when the dealer called
him down, telling him that the game
was a $25-limit affair. The soldier
played for ten minutes longer at the
s25-limit game, and then a man who
has the interests of Uncle Sans soldiers
at heart kicked him on the shins be-
meath the table and nodded toward the
train
The soldier picked up his bunch of
$500, said $50 long" to the Disguised
dealer and caught the just-moving train

soldier, with an ear-to-ear grin on his
drawn, hungry looking features. count

1t seemed so, indeed, and again be-
gan to think I had moderated Pra-
dey's sagacity. In a moment the ship
was ready to come about.
The head sheets were let go, the
braces were handled in their turn and
the forward yards came round.
The other orders were quickly COM
pleted. The ships head rode gallant

As the ship came into the wind the
boat approached the Quarter.

"Why, senior, the English have taken

At this we all broke into a great
shout.

of us poor people terribly frightened"
Enough" cried Pradey, impatient

At last Pradey gave the word and

Phibbert again assented, and hastily

Whitelaw Reid, who spent several win

he has been most surprised to observe
how much more readily the new woman
of the West-even on the edge Of the des-
ert-becomes interested in new industrial
and socialistic ideas than the woman in
the conservative Eastern States. AT the
old Spanish town of San Miguel, among
the cattle ranches in Graham, a Bellamy
cooperative cooking club has just COM
pleted its fourth year with remarkable
success. The seventeen families on it's
list include those prominent alike for
wealth and brains in the community.
Weary of the drudgery of cooking and
tired of wrestling with the long line of re-
fractory hired girls, the Bellamy Club
was organized centrally located house
was rented and turned over to a matron,
with corps of assistants who were to
have full charge of preparing meals for the
club members and do nothing else. The
executive committee of three does all the
purchasing of supplies and meets every
Saturday morning to hold consultation
and audit bills. Everything is paid for
on Monday morning, assessments being
paid a week in advance on Saturdays by
the club members. This prevents any
debts or bills from being found due at the
end of the week, and any surplus or acct
dental deficit is easily carried to the END
of the next week The executive COM
nittee is all powerful, and club members
are bound to report grievances only 10 II
and not TO one another. Inc cluo is run
on the family plan ana so lar as puS-
sible all pickering and fault-inding are
shut out. Any one who is not satisfied
can leave at any time, and the fact that
the club has lasted so long proves much
for the good sense of the members. ram
ilfes have tables by themselves II they
wish and there is a table d'hote for the
unmarried 1 people if they wish to take ad-
vantage of it. The expense has been
found to be remarkably small, the mem
bers declaring that it is less than half
what they could run a home for. The
women are sole managers; their husbands
only foot the bills
