How TO CARRY A GUN.-TEere
are only two directions in which
the nuzzle Of Q gun can safely be
pointed ; these are up or down. A
shot fred in air can scarcely injure
any one or anything and one dis
charged into the ground 10 equally
harmless. Therefore, in all the
different positions which the gun
assumes, see that it 10 pointed either
up or down.
Sometimes q man will be seen
who carries his gun reversed, hold
ing it by the muzzle while the fore
end rests on the shoulder and the
stock projects behind. Happily
this practice 10 not common, for il
10 extremely dangerous, and many
men have been killed BY carrying
their guns in this way. II q man

his gun will very likely be thrown
forward with the muzzle directed
towards his body and may easily

Sometimes one may see a boy OF
even a man who will carry the gun
across the back Of the neck, with
one arm over the stock and the
other hand resting over the muzzle.
This is certain to give q very uncom'

NERVY POKER PLAYER

Who Sized Up His Opponents Bad
Eyesight and Won the Pot.
Chicago Tribune.
Manly was one Of the best poker play
ers 1 ever saw. He was a good winner
and good loser. He played his cards
all the time for everything they were
worth and then some more, and he play
ed a game that was simply insoluble.'
The Board of Trade man leaned back
in his chair and smiled reminiscently.
Manly not only had Hoyle down SO
that he could recite the poker rules back
ward and say sir after each word, but
he rose to the higher science of the
game. He made careful study of every
man around the board, and he never
played card but what he darted a keen,
sweeping glance at every player and
were about to do. If a player had any
little tricks or habits that asserted them
selves in spite of efforts to repress them
Manly knew them by heart.
II will never forget the night he took
Carter into camp. Carter was good,
cool, nervy player, too He was an old
player and possessed splendid judgment.
One night we had been playing several
hours, and as it was getting toward day
light we agreed to have one more round
of jackpots and then go home. We had
our round Of jackpots, three of which
Carter won, and then decided on one last
consolation jackpot, with no limit but the
roof and S. to come in. Carter raised
the come-in to $40, and everybody drop
ped out except Manly and one other
player. Manly called for three cards,
showing that he had only one pair or
nothing at all; the other man took two
cards, indicating that he must have three
of kind, or else he wouldn't have paid
$40 for the privilege Of playing any long
er, and Carter stood pat.
THAT looked bad. Carter had never
been known to stand pat on anything bat
something that was worth while He
must have had something good to
raise the come-in 500, and his standing
pat argued that he either had tours or
else. a straight or a flush He had be-
trayed nervous start when he picked
UP his hand, and 1t argued that he had
seen something awful good. Now
Manly had seen the start that Carter
gave and knew his style of play enough
to argue that Carter had seen something
even better than a straight or fush
and that was a straight flush, something
that comes once in a great, long while
in poker game. In fact, Manly came to
the conclusion that Carter had a straight
f1ush, and the fact of the matter was
that a straight flush in spades, king high,
was just exactly what Garter had seen in
his five cards when he picked them up.
Manly deliberated long time before
he came in with his $40, but he was out
SIS or 800 on the game, and, as it was
the last pot, he determined to stand a
good bit Of money in the hopes of MAX
ing recoup. He drew to a pair of tens
and caught one more Manly started the
betting with a SO bill. The other man
dropped out, and Carter saw the ten and
raised $25. That looked as though

SIBERIA" AT THE GRAND.

BARLEY CampbeIPs Great Me1odrama
to He Seen This Week.
The Grand opera house this week. COM
mencing tonight, vii be the scene Of a
grand revival of BARLEY Campbell's pow
erful drama of Russia life, Siberia"
This play has not been performed for the
past three years, but for the fifteen
preceding seasons 1t was before the pub
lie and achieved a success that can be
accredited to but few melodramas. There
Is a fascination in plays or romances
portraying Russian life, with It's nihil-
Ism, It's autocratic government, Its
wrongs and injustices, that will always
appeal strongly to the theater-goer. Isl
beria'' is one of the most vivid Of such
dramas. The story Is pathetic, the incl
dents are thrilling, the characters inter-
esting and the denouement happy
The struggles of oppressed against OPP
pressors are pictured in romance which
deals with the unbridled passions of the
nobility and the retaliation of victims.
Snow storms, knout punishment and
Russian imperial and prison life are Wv
idly portrayed, and each act ends with a
strong tableau. Tho scenery will be ap-
propriate and beautiful and all the Co.'S
TUNES made from photographs taken in
Russia.
The scene in the Siberian mines is par
hcularly absorbing in its interest It sug-
gests far more than it actually exhibits,
and the imaginative auditor is all the
more affected by 1t on that account.
Nowhere on the globe are the oppressed
more worthy of pity than in Russia and
In no place are Oppressors more deserv-
Ing of condemnation. The stoutest hearts
IN the audience are wrung with anguish
as the poor unfortunates are led away
to penal servitude, and thesrighting Of
their wrongs is always received with
cheers.
The absorbing story is frightened by a
vein of excellent comedy which runs
throughout the play. and hearty laughter
invariably follows the sympathetic sigh.
The cast that will present siberia" is
an exceptionally strong one, and as the
scenery, costumes and effects are all new
the plav will undoubtedly be given a
presentation equal to any it has ever re-
celved. The engagement is for one week
