Academy of the United States, Admiral
McNair is said to have exclaimed holly.

minutes"

The arrival at Washington Of Phya
Prashiddhi, who succeeds I'ya Visuddha
Suryasaku as Siamese minister to the
United States, has revived a story Of
Yankee sport in one OF the far-away king
doms where lord high chamberlains, as
well as monarchs bearing unpronounca-
bic names, delight in the American gans
of draw.
AS the story goes, the Yankee became
morose because of the tameness Of the
game in his native land He accidentally
learlfed Of a certain island where the king
and his court bet them TO the sky, and,
accordingly, he engaged an interpreter
and sailed away, bent upon enjoying one
game of draw where the sky would be
the limit
Arriving on the island Of Buluwayo-
saddhi the Yankee proceeded to the pal
ace, presented his credentials from the
secretary of state, and was accorded a
most hearty welcome.
Say, now, don't you say nothin' about
poker after supper cautioned the in
terpreter. Just leave that 20 his nibs,
the king. ThatlI be his first lay"
Sure enough-no sooner had the meal
disappeared than the king Phya Vissid-
hidhudu, turning to his lord high cham
berlain, Phya Prasidihiahihi, made a sug-
gestion. 1t was poker. The tnterpre: :er
conveyed to the Yankee the gist Of the
proposition. That was what he was there
for, and the game was quickly on.
Straights were unknown in the island of

lights. Financially his responsibilities are
heavy, since, besides the large amounts
he pays out in local expenses, he has to
arrange In measure for the expenditure
of several times as much more, and thus
the total expenses of a convention may
be gIes tly increased or decreased by thN

said with truth that he must be man of
exceptional judgment, great capacity and
unusual executive force.
Many thousands of dollars must be

this year before it will be ready for tie
big gathering. The auditorium itself
must be remodeled, number of waiting,
subcommittee and other special rooms
must be put IN, new sanitary and Ventila-
ton systems must be provided, and faclh-
ties for the correspondents and reporters
must be created. These include desks and
seats in the big hall, a writing room Just
off the hall, rooms for the operators of
the two big telegraph companies and the
press associations, and the installation OF
wires and instruments.
In making the hall ready for the con-
ventfon, then, the sergeant-a alarms must
have dealings with architects, builders,

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-Now that the

and laymen which held q two weeks con-
ference in Washington have gone to their
respective homes and the chickens have
gone back to their normal market price.
some of the good stories which will not
appear in the regular conference proceed
ings will furnish interesting reading.
Perhaps no man in the great conference
welded more power, and at the same
time by his bright and witty sayings in
presiding over the deliberations caused
more general good feelings than Bishop
Gambler. One day in advocating a more
liberal unIoosing of the purse strings
the bishop said that several years ago he
had sent an article to a paper in which
he said that I'VE pray too loud and work
too little, The compositor got in his
fine italian hand and when the article ap.
peared it read: I'VE bray too loud and
work too little"
Il let it go at that" said the bishop
THE fact is, believe the printer was
right, and 1 never attempted to correct
It"
1t IS told by one of the Southern min,
listers who attended the conference that
Bishop Gamblers father, who was not
minister, converted a number OF men in
a single half day. It was this way: The
bishops father owned a large number of
slaves and he gave them many liberties.
