THE FARMER GOT A HU.>CH.
And the. Skin Gamblers Did Not At
90. tempt to Detain Him. "'t


{, A middle-aged Maryland farmer, who
picked the right ones, to the tune of nearly
$500 at the races got into Washington on
the night following the wihd-up of the fair.
He. was hunting for jOyance, and three
cheerful workers got hold of him and nudg-
ed him into four r-handed poker game.
The farmer didn't know much about the
game, but he won steadily for the first hour.
Then the cheerful workers went at him in
q bunch, and they took his winnings and
his own bundle off him so fast that it
made him sneeze. One of them got
"squee jib," which he explained as being
hand that couldn't be shown, and raked
down $135 of the Maryland mans money.
Another got lallapaloosa, consisting OF
three clubs and pair of spades, and took
$85 of the farmers money. The Mary
land man only had three queens. Another
of the merry grafters caught four diamons
and the ace of clubs on top, which, being
kitty MITCH" beat any hand in the deck,
as was explained to the man who had won
out on the fair, and the "kifty Mitch topped
his king full and cost him $50 more The
Maryland farmer began to look pretty SOL
emn when he was more than 5000 in the
hole. Then it came to ai.jack pot. All
hands staid until the pressure became too
great, and when two of the grafters dropped
out there was more than $3.50 in the CEN
ter of the table. The farmer stood pat,
and he came back at the CRATER who plug
ged at him every time with $25 raises.
When there was more than $500 in the
middle of the table, the farmer pasted the
amount of the grafter's last raise into the
center of the table and called. The CRATER
laid down four jacks.
"No good said the farmer, throwing
his hand face down in the middle OF the
table, and raking In the pot.
Hold on there" exclaimed the CRATER,
''What are you trying to do anyhow? l
have got four jacks What you got?"
Eve got a hunch," said the farmer,
sweeping the stakes which consisted OF
bills and not chips, into his pocket, and
he backed out of the room. He happened
to be about 6 feet and built in proportion,
and the cheerful workers didn't attempt to
detain him.--Washington Post.

The Enormous Cost of Yachting.

Few branches of sport yield less in COM
parison with the sums lavished on them than
yachting, which of necessity is monopoly
of men with we'll lined purses. The initial
cost of a yacht may range from $500 to
$500, 900. and the annual outlay from $500 to
$50, 900.
The man who buys a 50-ton yacht for
pleasure purposes alone, and without any
of the added cost of racing must expect her
to cost him $500 a year. For 100-ton
yacht he will have to disburse from $500
to $1,000 year. without counting deprecia-
tion or the interest on the 10000 or $4,000
he has sunk in her purchase.
When a man aspires to the luxury of
steam yacht of hundreds of tons he ought
to have the deep purse Of z millionaire. for
