BrotherIy Counsel.

The more nervous man is the
more he tries to say the right thing,
and as n rule the more lamentably he
fails. IL is not always the man who
attempts to set him right, however,
who covers himself with glory. There
is story told of certain English
curate who was afflicted with pain
fully nervous temperament, and whose
nervousness was in the habit of affect
ing his tongue and causing him to
make the most awkward remarks
when he particularly desired to pay
neat compliments to those high in au-
thority or position. IL happened one
day that he had distinguished himself
beyond his wont during the gathering
of clergymen at an afternoon tea ut
the bishops palace. On the way home
senior curate took him to task for
his blunders. Look here, Bruce"
said the senior, decidedly, ''you are a
donlIeyl Why can't you keep quiet,
instead of attracting everybody's at
tention by your asinine remarks?
You need not be offended. I'm speak
ing to you now as brother" At
this point loud laughter interrupted
the speaker, and for moment he
wondered why.-Youth's Companion.

QUEER THINGS IN POKER.
Phenomenal Luck OF Beginners-sim-
pie Frauds That Are Sue
cezxfuI.

"There are three things in poker"
said Michigan man the other day,
(which have always impressed me
strongly. One is that a beginner gem
orally wins; that the simplest tricks
are used by the most successful card
sharks, and that the ruling passion IL
stronger than death.
"One case in particular comes to my
mind TO illustrate this latter fact. In
New York town lived man-we will
say Mr.. B., who had played poker
oil his life. He was ~ years Of age
when taken seriously sick; the doctors
gave him up as dying; but the sick man
invited in few of his friends and in
sisted on final game of poker. They
played. That was eight years ago. The
man is alive to-day, and the best doc
tors in New York say that card playing
saved his life. From that time until
to-day a small card game is run at his
home, and, while the town is rabid on
the anti-gambling question, the au-
thorities, understanding the circum-
stances, make no kick.
"In an honest game new player al
most always wins. I've seen them go
In against old players-men who
thought they understood the game
and win where n professional would
lose his wad. One particular instance
i remember is that of new player
who was induced to set in for few
hands. On the first deal he had king
full and lost the pot because he didn't
know the game-didn't know the value
of the cards, and dropped out on a
raise. When he showed his cards-it
was jack pot--the players gave him
the laugh, as queens up was the best
hand out. On the next deal the green
horn held three diamonds and two
clubs and really thought he had an
other full house. On his honest bluff
he won over $50, although there were
three aces out.
zone Of the simplest bunko deals j
ever ran across was when i was playing
n game of poker in Michigan. One of
the plnyers-eyidently a stranger
held q full house and was entitled to
q pot OF nearly $500. He was called,
and when he displayed his cards on the
table a sharper in the game pushed
sixth card under his hand, and the
winner lost the pot, believing that he
had fouled his hand by holding up too
many cards."-N. Y. Sun.
