II wa. His Deal.

In connection with the strenuous
efforts now being made to suppress
gambling frauds on the great ocean
steamers some one has recalled q
story which old Capt. Judkins, of the
Cunard 1ine-in his day the most ia
nous of Atlantic captains-used to
tell. There were stringent rules
against gambling on the Cunarders,
but there was another company that
was most lenient in the matter. One
day hot game was in progress on
one of the boats of the latter. line.
There were several lookers-on, among
them the ships captain, who had
strolled in for moment. Another
bystander noticed that one of the
players, while dealing, dealt himself
cards from the bottom of the pack
and fortified himself with four aces.
Shocked at the fraud, the bystander
looked at the captain, but the cap
tain gave no signs of having seen the
trick. Pulling him away from the
table, the bystander said: ibid you
see that, captain?'' "See what?" was
the retort. "Why, that fellow dealt
himself four aces "Well, wasn't it
his deal ?"-Baltimore Sun.

A PIKE COUNTY MIRACLE.

Velpen, Ind, June 17.-William o.
B. Sullivan, farmer of this place, and
who is a brother of ex-Representa-
tive Sullivan, of Pike and Dubois
counties, has had remarkable ex-
perience recently.
Mr.. Sullivan is 40 years of age,
and has been a citizen of Pike county
for 80 years. For two years he has
suffered much with Kidney Trouble
and Rheumatism. His shoulders and
side were very sore and stiff, and his
back was so bad he could hardly
straighten up at all. He had palpita-
ton of the heart, and a smothering
which was very distressing. He used
three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and is as strong and well as ever he
was. He pronounces his cure mir
acle. Mr.. Sullivan's statement of his
case is startling:
"a month ago 1 was a cripple. To-
day can do hard days work every
day, and have not a single ache or
pain"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done some
wonderful cures in Indiana, but none
more miraculous than that in the
case of Mr.. Sullivan.
