remarks in reference to the attitude of
the press toward labor organizations:
His statements were somewhat sensa-

papers in particular are unfair. They
never speak of the many strikes that
are averted by the trades and labor
councils and assemblies, but whenever
there is strike they are glad to give
it conspicuous writeup. He said that

Beauty is born in the blood. Beauty
is more than "skin deep,'' it is blood
deep. When the blood is tainted by
disease the flesh will feel it and the skin
will show it. Sallow or muddy com
plex1ons. pimples, blotcles, and erup-
tions are only the surface sigus of i'm
pure blood. Face washes, lotions, com.
plextion powders, may palliate the
evils but they cannot cure the disease.
The only cure is to cleaase the blood of
the poisonous matter which is the
cause of the outbreak in the flesh and
skin. Impure blood can be absolutely
purified by the use of DR.. Pierce s
Golden Medical Discovery. Its effect
on flesh and skin is marked. Sores heal
and disappear. The skin becomes
smooth, and regains its natural color.
The eyes brighten and sparkle, the
whole body is radiant with the bright
ness and beauty of health. ''Golden
Medical Discovery" contains no alcohol
whisky or other intoxicant, and is alb
solutely from free opium. cocaine and
other narcotics. The use of DR.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, assists the
action of the 'Discovery," by cleans
ing the system of clOgging matter.

An Effect of Nervous Tension Which

Il suppose this facial peculisrity is
more or less prevalent every ywbere, foi
it is said that the people whose faces
are exactly alike on both sides are few
but in New York 1T is unduly pronounc
ed. Women are afflicted as well as the

OF the nose tips to one side or the eye

Sometimes all three of these imperfec.

few other little contortions thrown in
for good measure. Actually 1 have
met people here whose faces had SO
many different expressions according
to the point of view that it was with
difficulty l could persuade myself that
the right side was any blood relation

Il asked physician for an explana

In a short time the citizens discover

GREAT POKER HANDS.
All Come Gut In Single Deal at Gin.
cinnati Gambling Resort.

Cincinnati, O., The boys aroun(
town who play poker are talk
ing about a play that came up earl,
one morning in Vine street
resort, where the great American game
is played for keeps.
l. was noting more than four
str4igh fiushes, all handed out in one
deal, and the man who got the pot
gathered in the checks with nine
b gh straight flush.
They had been playing for a long
tim >, and some player asked for new
deck. The keeper sent in red deck
and the dealer buckled them once or
twice and handed them over to the play
er at his right to cut. At the same
time he turned to talk to the player to
his left. The player to the right was
at the same time talking, and the deal
ar took it for granted that the cards
had been cut and began dealing.
The cards were dealt and every one
passed except the man next to the
dealer. He opened the pot FOR $5. The
play went around and the next man
played for SIS. The man that follow
ed played for 800. The next player
stayed and the next followed suit. The
next man stayed.
By this time there was enough in the
pot to make it an object, and all hands
were in. Then came the draw. The
first man stood pat. The next drew
one card; the next man asked for a
card, and the others stood pat.
Then the betting began. 1t was a
S. limit game, and the first man bet IS.
The next man raised him, and he in
turn was raised. The betting continu-
ed until the man to the right of the
dealer laid down straight flush, say
ing:
s.The cards run too good for me; they
were not cut.
The betting continued until there
was nearly $500 in the pot. Every
player laid down his hand. and the
man with nine-high straight flush in
hearts took the money. The next man
had an eight-high flush in diamonds.
The next had six-high straight flush
in clubs, and the man next to the deal
er who had laid down first. had five
high straight flush in spades.
Then it was discovered that the man
with the seven-high flush had made his,
while another, who had dropped out,
was drawing to a king high straight
flush, with a chance of making ''big
dog" but he failed.
There was nearly $500 in the pot,
aud after it had been raked in it was
discovered that the deck was new
ore and had not been cut.-ChicagO
