A SURE THING GAME
How It Was Played and Won Against
 an Ancient Proverb.

Deputy Sheriff James Gibson is the proud owner of a handsome gold chro- nometer that he thinks as much of as buck Indian does of a roan cayuse. and that is a good deal. He won it at a raffie and that gives it an addi- tional value. for man that can stand up before the world and announce that longer to be classed with the novices at gambling. but is entitled to the hon OTIS of a thoroughbred.
 But MT Gibson may not be called a gambler. On the contrary his eX- perience with the fickle goddess in the past taught him not to rely en- tirely upon fortune and the interesting part of this story is the relation of how he worked "sure thing" game with out taking advantage of anybody.
 The chronometer is a valuable one and cost the former owner between three and four hundred dollars. It was on exhibition at Robert Doll $ place. where the raffie took place, and the moment Mir. Gibson saw it he made up his mind to own it. However. he neglected to buy a chance at that time, and when he returned the raf- fle was in progress, all the tickets hay ing been sold. MT. Gibson's faAe aS- stunned a troubled look. but that is the
 
 brain has big job on hand. At this particular time there was something doing up in his head all the way from the medulla oblongata to the corpus callosum. He waited till the throw ing was about half over and Doc. Jones, a dairyman piled up 46 on the cubes, which in all ordinary rallies in dicates that the man who does it will get all the apple butter there is in the r0I feelings would have lodged out the back door at this stage of the proceedings and sought a quiet place in which to die of remorse. But MT. Gibson was just them in his element. It takes ad- versity to get the best out of a man. He figured that Jones would prefer a reasonably good sure thing to better thing with string on 1t. and he also figured that he could make wages buy ing s400 watches at $50 apiece, so he of fered Jones $50 for his chance. It was refused. Mir. Gibson walked around the room a couple of times and found another gold piece in his pocket. Sixty dollars looked good to Jones and he took the bait. By the time these pre- liminaries were arranged it was all over but one throw. ticket held by Matt Bunker. Mir. Gibson was out considerable money already, though if he could win he would be immensely to the good He found Bunker, and after showing him that his hope to beat 46 was almost forlorn. he offered to make him a present of S2.50 if he would drop dead, or drop out of sight till after the watch deal was finished. That was as good a thing as Bunker wanted, for he never won anything anyhow, and the bargain was closed.
 There was, of course, a bar bill to pay, but it was not large and Mir. Gib- son believes that he has made fully s20O by being late and bringing his head with him when he did come. The moral of this story is that there are some worms the early bird does not get.

In the last half. or rather in part of the last half the Phoenix boys ran up a score of eleven. Up to that time neither side had scored. A fierce dispute arose and the Tempe players proposed a compromise. They wanted to call the game tie. The proposition was rejected and then Tempe wanted to fight. The Phoenix boys no doubt felt like it, but they were both out numbered and outweighed by their adversaries.
 The line up was as follows:

A NOTEWORTHY PRODUCTION

Of East Lynne" a play that goes home to every heart, will be seen at the Doris theater Thursday. Thanksgiv- ing day. when two holiday perform ances will be given, matinee and even ing, presented by company of well known players. headed by an actress of real ability, Miss Blarche Stoddard, who plays the part of Lady Isabel East Lynne is without doubt the greatest emotional drama of modern times. It is a story of the heart and the play will live as long as the Eng fish language is spoken. Tt is story of a woman's wrongs and people who have wept over the sins and sorrows of poor Lady Isabel will go to the theater to weep again. Perhaps the moral taught in this drama is the best of any play ever produced in this coun- try. No woman, old or young, who has come to the age of understanding. should fail to see East Lynne:'' they will be better for having done so and will be better able to snun the snares and tempting bangs of jealousy that life is frequently beset with.
