IN THE MIDST OF ALARMS.
an Eastern Man Tells About the DIFF
acuItIes of Poker Playing in
the Gas Region.

SIN the west the unexpected is apt 10
happen" remarked an eastern man who
had just returned from business "trip
through the northwestern states, "and
no one expresses or apparently feels
any surprise at the most unlooked-for
events. Now, where could such an oc-
currence happen, for instance, as the
following except in a country like ours:
AT the hotel where / was stopping
in n town in Indiana a party of men
were seated at cards. Draw poker was
the game, and the betting was lively.
At the last drawing one of the party
found to his satisfaction that he held
a straight flush, but just at that mo-
ment there was sharp report; second
one, much more violent than the first,
tore open the floor Of the smoking
room, and the party of men dropped
into the cellar.
at was an explosion of natural gas,
n little episode which frequently hap
pens, I am told, in the gas regions. AL
though considerably bruised, not one
of the party fortunately was seriously
hurt, and each man held with charac-
teristic western impcrturbability his
cards.
"T caN,' said the holder of the
straight flush, as if the unpleasant lit
Sic occurrence OF being dropped sudden
~ into the cellar had never happened,
whereupon the Others showed their
hands by the light of their fuses, and
assisted the lucky winner to find the
stakes, which were scattered all over
the ground"

LAKE MIcHIGAN's DIRT WAVE.
Twice Year n Long Line of Rub
Dish Appears Along the
West Shore.

"Did you ever notice the dirt wave|'
asked an old fisherman at the Sixty
ninth street dock the other day, as he
pointed to n long black streak on the
lake, which looked like the line of the
horizon.
"a peculiar thing is that dirt wave, y
continued the old man, examining his
hook, land for many year I've been
puzzled about it,"
Upon being asked to tell something
about the dirt wave by the Chicago
Democrat reporter, he said:
"Well, that wave comes about twice
O year as regular as the season, and
never fails to reach this side of the lake
during the month of April. Where it
comes from 1 can't exactly understand,
and how the rubbish which it carries
sticks together is mystery to me.
"You will notice." he continued, that
as far as you can see in either direction
the dirt wave reaches.
"The dirt doesn't travel as fast as
common waves, another thing 1 don't
understand, and it'll be "a hours be-
fore it reaches the shore"
"What is the dirt composed OFF"
"Why, just common rubbish. Sticks,
wooden boxes, old newspapers mixed
I'D with q sort of mortar Of dust and
marine plants. I'll bet that wave is 100
miles long"

Caring for the Muscles of the Hands

Caring for the Muscles Of the Hands.
The hands soon show the effects Of
age, and one thing which much con-
duces to premature shrinking of the
muscles of the hands, and which is an
swerabie for half the wrinkled palms
and fingers we see at an age at which,
normally, they should be fresh and
firm, is that wretched habit of wearing
gloves and sleeves that are too tight.
Too tight gloves must have their infu-
ence on the development of the muscles
wherever the circulation is at all de-
fective. The nails should be fled each
day, but seldom cut. The eccentricity
of wearing the nails long and pointed
should never be observed. The ideal
nail is just long enough to protect the
tip of the finger.-Ladies' Home Jour-
nal.

Quiet at last reigned over the hotel.
The night was clear, the moon shining
brightly. Leon and his bride looked out
from the window, and inhaled the frag-
rance borne from the flowers in the gar
den below. Suddenly Icons gaze fell
upon a man who was sauntering amid
the shrubbery. He walked with head
bent down, q cigar in his mouth, and
his hands thrust into his pockets. AS
he turned the moonlight fell upon his

The night wore on. Leon and his
bride had almost forgotten their Eng

strange sound in his room. 1t was that
of the fall of some heavy body. Mingled
with this there was q peculiar crushing,
grating sound, followed by stifed cry.
Silence. Then there were two or three
muttered oaths, and silence again.
The young couple shuddered. What
could it mean? Leon tried to reassure
his trembling companion, but he was
interrupted by the cautious opening OF
the next door. 1t was softly closed
again, and then slow and apparently
careful footsteps were heard In the hall.
They were lost in the distance. They
ceased. Again all was still.

hands ON his knees, heard the quarter
back calling his number for the next
play. It was tandem buck with the
left halfback heading the interference

AS Armstrong dashed into the line
the quarterback passed the ball
straight into his arms with unerring
swiftness. The line was opened wide
for aim, but as he went into 1t he in
voluntarily threw up one arm to shield
his face. The Camden quarterback,
crouching low behind The line, buried
himself at Armstrong; knees and
tackled him hard and fast.
AS he plunged forward over his

slip from the grasp of his left arm
and had a sickening consciousness that
he had fumbled. The referee darted In

he called out.
Armstrong ran back up the field to
the fullback's position on the defensive,
wishing at every step that the earth
would open and swallow him up.
Twice the Camden backs smashed in
to the Hilton line and then the full
back, with strong kick, sent the ball
so yards up the field and the goal was
out of danger.
Up and down the field the battle was

WOLVES DESTROYING DEER.
Serious state of Affairs in the North
Woods of Michigan.
From The Detroit News Tribune.

From the Detroit News Tribune
Old hunters are greatly alarmed by the
immense and ever-increasing slaughter of
the Michigan deer by marauding packs of
wolves, especially in the upper peninsula
where wolves roam in unrestricted free
dom in the dark, green woods
Recent dispatches say that the slaughter
of deer by wolves was never so great as
during the winter just past. 1t has fire.
quently been asserted that the wolves kill
far more deer than the hunters; wolves OBJ
serve no "closed seasons" they defy the
price that the Michigan statutes place
upon their scalps, and they increase and
multiply TO an alarming extent.
1.-THE wolves will always be with u.s."
said Charles A. Rathbone. THE last of the
wild animals to be eXterminated will be
the wolves and the bears. 1t has been
the experience in other and older states,
and have no reason TO think that ii will
be any different with us. Wolves will be
bowling in this stale long after the deer
are gone.
''Have you ever come upon pack of
wolves killing deer?" Mr.. Rathbone was
asked.
Not exactly; but know a great deal
about the habits of these animals, by Tea-
son of my experience IN the woods. Out
west. many years ago, where l used to go
10 hunt buffalo, the big gray wolf would
not hesitate TO attack man, especially
if 1t were hungry. The infuriated animal
would leap at the mans throat and the
HELPLESS hunter would instantly be engaged
in the one grand struggle Of his life
About how many deer do you suppose
the wolves in Michigan kill every year,
Mr. Rathbone?"
1.-The slaughter is. something enormous.
Most of these deer have been wounded by
hunters, and then are pounced upon later
by the wolves and brought to death. II
is not likely that wolf could catch
deer that had not made a run on che same
day. but a deer that has not made a run
could scarcely be bounded to death BY
wolves, unless the snow was very deep
and the deer broke through the crust.
That by the way, is what helps the
wolves TO overtake a deer. But IL a
pack set upon deer that was perfectly
fresh making the condition that there
was not too much snow in the woods. the
deer would most certainly make It's es-
