Winter Mt Pekin

copyrighted. 1900, by Associated Press)
Pekln, September H. via Shanghai, Sep
TENDER 19,-General Chaffee expresses a
preference In favor OF tents for the winter
camp rather than unsanitary buildings.
The indications are that 10000 of the
allies will winter at Pekin. The German
forces will be the largest. Some of the
troops will probably be distributed in the
surrounding cities to relieve the strain.
The Japanese will withdraw the most OF
their forces at Nagasah The Russians
will leave at least 1000 here.
A joint expedition to Paoting has been
planned by the British, German and Amer
lean forces.

CLEVER SCHEME
by Which the Poor Man Can Play
Poker with the Rich.

Poker with The Rich.
New York Cor. Chicago Inter-Ocean
Millionaire yacht owners who take their
friends on long cruises are likely TO find
their society most entertaining in the
games that are intended to vary the mo-
notony of extended trips, and none OF
these games are equal in popularity to
poker. which has long held It's own as the
chief vocation OF yachtsmen. II rarely
happens that yacht owners have on hoard
guests as wealthy as themselves, and as
well able to risk the extreme profit or
loss likely to be incurred on a long jour-
ney The disparity In means is the more
noticeable when a game ID likely to con-
tinue during several months. The diffi-
cultieg of this arrangement have been
satisfactorily settled, and the poor man
can now afford TO play with the rich
one and not require equal capital The
method Of deciding the extent OF which
man will participate In the profits and
the approximate extent OF his losses is
very simple. When the party sets out on
cruise, every member OF the party
writes on piece OF paper the value or
which he expects TO play every chip, aud
puts this paper into an envelope. which
Is sealed and not to be opened until the
end cf the cruise He may elect to
have red chip worth cents. while an
other member Of the party may make a
red chip worth IS, and the yacht owner
may value It at twice as much. The game
Is, OF course, played entirely with chips.
No money Is handled until the final set
Element comes at the end Of the trip Then
the letters are opened and the basis on
which every man IN the party has played
Is made clear He shares in the profit ard
loss In accordance with the contract In
the envelopes, and the guest with tho
smallest income is able to play freely with
his many times millionaire host.
Thus is the situation adapted to the cir
cumstances OF the little brother OF The
rich.
