Gambler And The Worm.

A gentleman who lives in the

very extensive traveller, has a

that it's peers in the whole

loves conviviality, and no game
is too hazardous for him if he
has the amount of the stakes.
He takes pleasure in telling the
history of his service, says the

the most audacious game of
chance he ever witnessed.
when l was in Bolivia, some
years ago" he always begins.
Il got in with crowd of men,
English and natives, whose
passion for gambling knew no

There was a little shop in Bo-

nights did we spend around the
great wheel, with our money

Re Elections of a Bachelor.

No woman ever falls in love
without a mental reservation.
Every married woman knows
that men are more romatic than
women.
Men are never as meek and
humble as they look and women
are always more so.
A woman who gets to be %
without being a man is no long
er W oman; she is only cur
10.
The man of firm purpose is
the one on your side; the kicker
is the one on the othe fellows
side.
When a girl is too modest to
let man tie her shoestrings
she ought to be made to go
barefooted.
Everything that goes into a
woman's pocket comes out
Crumpled and stuck up.
Even if woman doesn't real
ly feel SO she ought to have
sense enough to pretend some
times to her husband that she
is jealous of him.
If a man saved up all the
money he spent all his life for
tobacco during the last year
he would probably be able to
smoke a more expensive cigar.
When a girl falls in love it
changes her whole nature. She
will even act pleased the first
time he steps on her dress and
rips it all out at the gathers.
A woman is never so mad as
she is when she sees a hat
that is terribly cheap, right af-
ter some smooth man has talked
her around to buy an encyclo.

Politics at Squawville.

Parson Billy, in spirit quite COM
mendable, Clipped in
With called revival meetin, hopin'
he might chance to win
Men of hostile disposition to the
bosom of the church,
Thus a knockin' of the spirit of dis
cordance from its perch,
But he played to empty benches, an
he never scored a soul,
Didn't add n single member to his
pious muster roll,
Fur the water of religion didn't seem
inclined to mix
In harmonious emulsion with the oil
OF politics,
Then we called a public meetin,
hopin' that we might discuss
All the issues without kickin' up
fratricidal muss.
But the flame began to flicker when
speaker asked if we
Had forgot when we'd suspended Bill

An a member riz and asksd him if

To the Bryan we had corded fur a

port Of pistol cracks.
An the two contestin' wranglers laid
reposin on their backs,
An the hail was soon ringin' with |
a powder blazin roar.

We diskivered to our sorrow at the

would frequently stand about

would suddenly cry out just as

Next he would place all the
money be could find takers for

Before the season was far dd-

that when he played 7-black he

Still he was a gentleman

two months. Then one night
the wheel stopped, and there
was the silence of the prairies

distant tinkling of a mandolin.
The planter leaped up as from
