the opener started off with modest bet
Of $780, not caring to get tangled up with
three one-card draws against him. The
short-f1ush man passed out: the holder
Of kings up merely called the $780, and
the merchant coolly raised it $1,000. Fer
five minutes the politician sweat and
worried, studying his hand closely and
debating in his mind the worth of it.
Finally he gasped, That's good and
threw his cards on the deck. The race
horse man with three queens naturally
passed out, as he was III a bad position
with two one-card men ahead of him
and one Of them betting $1,000 1t was
too strong for a game for three and the
queens were dropped. The board OF
suit, and the merchant ranked in the
big pot. AS he did so he spread an ace
full on the table, saying:
That's pretty fair hand, gentle
men"
TWO RoGUEs RETIRE DIscoM-
A quick glance passed between the
politician and his California friend, and
ten minutes later having excused them
selves from further participation in the
game, they were in an angry discus
sion in the back room Of a nearby sa-
loon.
You're a fine geezer," said the Califor-
Man, ito bring me all the way from
Los Angeles to win some money for you
and not know enough to play a hand
y
of thunder did you lay down those four
Fights for?''
why, it looked like a dead cinch that
b had me beat. He asked for the ace
of hearts to make a royal flush and I
saw the card go into his hand The play
was so strong I could not afford to take
a chance against it"
"Well, we are in a nice shape Here
you are head over heels in debt and
me with a big bill of travelling expenses
to pay out Of borrowed money. You
ought to have a guardian and don't han
ker for the job, SO I'll quit you right
here"
DARKY SATISFIES HIS CURIOSITY
That night when the California man
went to bed he took off from beneath
springs and laid it carefully away In
bureau drawer. The next day one
of the darky attendants had as visitor
the colored boy who was still mystified
by the politicians bold play with two
Fights. Together they went quietly to
the Californian's room and by rummag-
ing about found the machine AS the use
of the apparatus dawned upon the mind
of the lad, he said:
"Um. OATS a mighty fine ting No
wonder MarSe P put in dat two tou-
san, wen he knowed wat mis- fren' had
on. seed he'd only two Fights an touht
he was crazy. but 7 guess he knowed
dat fat german had de odders ready
The Californian has left town The
politician is broke and he is not play
ing poker any more at least not at that
particular game, as it is understood a
generous tip induced the darky to tell
the two eignts and the machine.

OPINION.

The public here, with so many more
exciting and urgent things to think
about for the most part does not realize
what very small point separates the
two countries in regard to the construc-
ton of the canal. Practically all that
we now differ about are the two points
of % the control Of the canal by America
in case of war, and (2) the communication
of the new treaty to the powers-i. e.,
the making of the powers parties to the
naturalization of the canal. The first
point is really not a substantial one. The
Americans do not now ask to be allow
ed to fortify the canal-though, as we
have always contended, fertilization is
not a matter of real importance-but
merely claim In effert that if they We're
at war with another power they must
be allowed to use the canal to protect
the national SAFETY e., use 1t them
selves for their war vessels, but not al
low the enemy's ships to do so. After all.
that claim is very natural. The canal
will have been made by American public
money or by means of an American sub
sidy, and the Americans therefore can

LOCKED Up N CARS

Wellington, June 27.-Aboutl2:9o o'clock
last night Frank Alley, who was check
ing up the cars after freight train No.
221 had come in on the Santa Fe. he
heard some men pounding inside "a fur
niture car in the yards. He asked them
if they wanted out and they were so
scared they could not tel what they
wanted. Alley opened the car and let
them out. Then they told him they had
been robbed by two men and locked in
the car, with the statement that they
would be taken up town as soon as
the Officers" had caught a couple more
men they were after.
The two boys who were robbed had
been asleep on the Santa Fe lumber pile
when the bogus officers got them, and
as they were simply country boys who
had been working in the harvest field
they were not onto the tricks Of tramps
ana thieves. The boys were so frightened
they became easy victims. Mr.. Alley ad-
vised them TO some up town and find
Night Marshal Barnett, which they did,
but the robbers were not captured. The
two boys slept the balance ofthe night at
Burford's barn and went out with officers
this morning to identify the robbers
should they be caught.

Kansas Doesn't Want Lot OF Paupers

on hIN hAnERs
Topeka, Ksns, June 27.-The scheme Of
Alderman German of New York to send
5000 unemployed men and women from
that city to Kansas to help in the har-
vest fields, does not meet with the ap-
proval of Kansas ofdcialdom. Governor
Stanley says he is opposed TO It, and will
do all in his power to stop it, even going
to the extent Of calling out the soldiers
OF the national guards. He believes that
the law to keep out paupers from other
states would apply to the case Of the
German immigrants.
New York doesn't care anything about
our harvest fields" the governor said
1T simply wants TO unload q lot of help
less men and women upon US. and 7 am
sure We won't stand for it Kansas has
hands enough to do al the work to be
done. except, possibly, for a couple Of
weeks during the wheat harvest When
we need outside help. We can get it from
our neighbors, the A1issourisns. When
we get through with ;hem they can go
home. Harvest would be over before the
New Yorkers could reach the fields, and
then they would become a public charge.
for there would be nothing for them to
do. If 300 people should start for kan
sas from Kew York. I would stop them
at the state line if I had to call out the
national guard 70 do it. I would regard
it as my duty to the working people Of
Kansas"
Governor Stanley made his talk at a
meeting of the executive council this
morning, and the other members Of the
council agreed with him. 1t was decided
by the council 20 notify the New York
authorities that Kansas would not allow
a crowd of shiftless people from that
city to come to the state.
Replying to a message from a New
York paper. Governor Stanley said. Kan
