ATE A CARD SANDWICH.

Old poker players in this city tell a
good story on a former we'll known
merchant of this city, who died a few
years ago. This man was especially
fond of the seductive game of draw,
and on one occasion while in "a game
with four men from Goshen he picked
up his hand to find four kings, an ace
and a ten-spot staring him in the face.
They were playing 81 jackpots, with a
$40 limit, and he needed a new stack
of chips badly. He mentally condemn
ed the ten-spot to hades, and when one
of the party opened the pot he acted.
His 81 was Clipped in off the lean pile
as carelesslv as could be, and then he
laid his hand on the chair between his
skinny legs, While he picked UP sand
witch from the plate which the bar
keeper had just brought, and, having
mustarded it as the game progressed
slowly, accidentally dropped one slice
of the bread in his lap. When he had
replaced it he had the. ten-spot between
the ham and the upper slice OF bread,
and he took a good bite before picking
up his hand to discard. He munched
the bread, ham and card comDlacentlv
while he discarded the ace and ac-
cepted one card from the dealer. He
won good, big pot, and he never
stopped eating until the sandwich was
all gone though it took two stems of
beer 10 down it.
A hitler later in the game, with a
miserable little pair in his hand which
he had tried to bluff on successfully
against a pat flush, he demanded that
the cards be counted, claiming that
while he did not suspect any one of
cheating, he had seen something sus-
picious. The cards We're counted and
found to be one short. He showed his
hand out before him, showed that he
had but five cards, then pushed them
into the deck and demanded that the
money in the pot be refunded to those
who had put it in, which was done,
and the game broke up.

Armies older sister, Ellinor, lost a
dearly loved pet cat The children de-

''growed-up folks
They invited in their little neighbors,
and putting pussy into a small tin ex-

to corner of the yard, where the gar

'Ellinor cried with all her might An
ME looked very sober, and finally when
pussy was laid away, and tenderly COW
cred with grass and flowers, she threw
her arms around her sister consolingly
and said: ELLA, if I were you L

more cats in the world God makes
more and more cats every day. Let's

The venerable r. L. Dabney, d. D., is
well known in this country and abroad.
Upward of twenty years ago his young
est son, Lewis, was sharp-witted lad
who promised to become g. respected
chip of the old block
The lad was whipped one day for an
act of disobedience, and then had to
undergo the more trying ordeal of sit
ting quietly on the sofa. He became
deeply absorbed in thought and pres
emily asked:
Ma, why did you whip me?"
So as to make you better boy"
was the response.
Lewis again become lost in thought

Ma, do you believe in prayer?
yes, my son."
eff you were to ask God to make me
better boy do you think he would
grant your prayer?"
"I'think he would, son.
well, then, ma, wish you would
pray a little more and whip little
less"
