PENNY-ANTE IN THE SUBURBS.

''Say, now" said the suburbanite to
the man who was asking about the
price CT real estate in the country,
don't you rush headlong into this
estate are all right, but there's one
little offset you want to be posted on
before investing your money. One of
the things you are probably banking
on, after chickens and eggs and a
chance to Push "a lawn mower around
and use a garden hose, is the social
advantages. You've figured it out that
you'll have smokes on the verandah,
dinners on the lawn and heaps of en-
joyment in an informal way, but you
may get sadly left. You play poker,
Of course. So does your wife. Penny
ante is a nice little game to while away
the hours after the men have finished
their cigars and the women their Cos
sip. Every suburban colony starts in
with golf, croquet and penny-ante. You
may get through the first two all right
but the last will prove your downfall.
A dozen families of us built and moved
out at about the same time. We start
ed into being one big family. No one
was, envious or jealous or cranky, and
wife and I used to wonder if Para
disc could hold a candle to our little
colony. We were a band of brothers
and sisters when poker crept in to de-
stroy all friendship. It was just for
diversion, you know-just a little
harmless amusement to pass away a
couple. of hours. 1t was penny-ante
and two-cent limit, and the idea that
some one might win or lose fifteen
cents made us laugh.
"You smile, my friend" continued
the suburbanite, "but don't be in a
hurry. You want to understand that
the women folks were in this thing.
Four. five or six men could have played
poker for weeks without a word, but
when their wives took hand the sit
u ion was changed. Maybe you've
seen a woman play cards? If there's no
money UP she has no interest; il there's
a nickel in the pot she'll almost hold
her breath for ten minutes. We sat

down at our first game as loving as
children. and it was a matter of no in
terest to the men whether they won or
lost But our wives-gee-wiz! 1t wasn't
ten minutes before they were bluffing
and cheating and looking dangerous.
ay, now, but if | hadn't seen it with
my own eyes never could have been
made to believe it, but l saw my own
dearly beloved wife steal two cards TO
make flush and win the twelve cents
in the pot. AT the end of an hour, with
no one the winner or loser by moro
than dime, the game broke up in
row. II was all the women's fault.
They would cheat and miscall their
hands and catch each other at it. That
was the beginning. Although We all
realized what a sword we. were sus-
pending over our heads, poker became
the pastime, and every family in the
colony was drawn into it. The result
We gods, The women wrangled until
they drew the men into 1t, the result

poker. l had the bull-head luck to
win for two or three evenings in sue
cession, and though the sum didn't ex-
coed fifty cents all told, 1t was thrown

was sure that some of the other men
cheated, and time after time the wo-
men resorted to all sorts Of tricks, and
of course the inevitable came. Oh, yes,
we've got our colony out there, but we
have no neighbors. The men folks
bow to each other in stiff-necked way
as they meet at the depot or on the
train, and the women try to get up a
smile as they come in contact, but our
happiness as a suburban colony has
departed. We We're weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting. That is, we
could not stand poker and remain
friends. Will the shadow pass from
us? Never again. 1t will continue TO
be a cold storage colony until the last
of us can sell out. We believe each
other to be liars, rascals and cheats,
and the gulf cannot be bridged."

CARDINAL WOLSEY' HAT.

A curious old hat has just come into the
possession of the authorities of Christ
church. Oxford. This historic chapeau

sonage than Cardinal Wo.sey and since

churchman has had a varied and check

of the seventeenth century, found 1t in the
great wardrobe when he was Clerk Of the

DELAY IN THE POLICE COURT
Persons Inconvenience because of
the Absence of One Judge.

The manner in which both branches of
the District Police Court is being managed
is the subject of some severe criticism by
those who suffer in consequence of the
method adopted by the presiding judges.
The trouble, it is said is the result of
there being only one judge to attend to
the business demanding consideration in
both branches OF the court. In consequence
of this. it is said that yesterday one
branch of the court was continued in SEES
sion until after p. m.
According to the law regulating the
transaction of business, two judges are ap-
pointed, one TO take charge of either
branch OF the Police Court. The law also
provides that the presiding judges shall
have a thirty days vacation each year.
The judges pre- expected to take their vaca-
ton at different times during the sum-
mer.
To provide for the conduct of the business
of the court during the absence of either
of the judges, the law stipulates that the
temporary vacancy on the Police Court
bench shall be filled by one of the local
justices of the peace, in order that the
business of the court shall not be re-
tarded nor too great share fall to the
Police Court judges ON duty.
From what can be learned, however, the
inconvenience to persons, suspects, wit
nesses, complainants. police officers. and
attorneys have business before the court

COTTON MARKET DULL.
Movement of New Cotton Expected
by Many 10 Bear Prices.

[Reeeived daily by +. A. Bowers n Co, brokers,
Washington Loan and Trust Building.l
New York, July 27.-The enormous Ii
quotation in August has been the feature
for some days, and being now about over,
attention is diverted TO the distant months.
As the season advances crop developments
are being more closely watched than ever
before, and the question arises as to the
disposition of recent heavy purchases of
these distant months. 1t is reasonable to
expect pretty liberal movement of new
cotton before long, and the market will
undoubtedly feel its effect, as 1t always
does. Hence, in the opinion OF many, sell
ing on all bulges is likely TO prove judi
cious.
The feature of the early market today
was the announcement of the issue OF some
$4,000 August notices, of which half were
by one firm. Initial sales were at one to
two points loss, followed by rally OF two
to four, thus leaving a net gain OF two
points the first hour. Some 1frIns figured
prominently in the buying OF August and
selling OF October at difference OF twenty
points. An easier market set in after the
rally. and prices again receded TO last
nights figures on dull market. Cables
were unchanged. Sales at Liverpool were
1900 bales.
