An affecting story comes from Phil
adelphia of the application for divorce
by a deaf mute wife from her deaf
mute husband. The history Of q mar
ried life of this character can be i'm
agincd, TO some extent. Naturally the
matrimonial experience would begin in
quiet wedding, and Il quiet married
life should follow. Nevertheless. al
though loud words were unknown. ex-
asperating language was possible
The wife complains that her husband
"cailcd her names" on his fingers. We
all know that it takes two 30 make Il
quarrel, and it would appear that d
deaf mute possesses superi-i, faculties
for avoiding quarrels. AS the wife
could not hear what the husband was
saying, all she needed to do was to turr
her back, that she might not see tte
gyrations of his finger tips. But pos
sibly this procedure would become
weaTisome at length. At all events, a
Philadelphia court has been asked tC
pronounce the marriage failure and
break the bonds.

INDIANS AS GAMBLERS.

Cowboys have a great many things
to answer for. both good and bad, and
perhaps it would not be right to blame
them with having taught the Indian
how to gamble. But not until the cow
boys came among them did the Indians
on the reservations know the art of
throwing the pasteboards. Since then
they have become as skilful at it as
they are lazy, says the New York Tri-
bune
One of the chief OCCUPATIONS of the
reservation Indians in the southwest
today is poker and monte playing In
deed. 1t requires so much of their time
that they do not care for the festive
dance nor the mysterious medicine
making, as they once did They scan
the broad fields with a disdainful look
and turn to the scene of gambling with
the air of a king. The fields. all their
own. are left untitled. while they seat
themselves for a quiet game.
For quiet and subtle are their PLAYS.
Never cheating and always thinking
characterize the Indian poker PLAYER
He sits and chews his tobacco. grunts
out his bids and bluffs, rakes- In the
stakes or feeds the jackpot, as the
case may be, with silent demeanor.
You might think the Indians were
playing for lives, instead of a few
blankets or couple of dollars. They

can read the countenance. 1t is impos-
sible for any mind reader to tell
whether an Indian thinks about killing
you or giving you his favorite wife, so
inexpensive is his face. That is why
the Indians are fond of poker 1t
taxes their facial power-it makes
them excited and tests the nerve.
Sometimes it makes them rich, but this
is an exception.
All or the reservation Indians in the
southwest have taken to gambling as
their chief amusement. Ghost dancing
and war dancing are only side issues in
the great campaign of sport. As soon
as they draw their quarterly donations
from the government the chief gam
piers at once take to the open prairie
and go in for poker. As the news
spreads that big game is on the

to take away the stakes. If one OF the
Indians should carry off big winning
