HYpEoTIo POKER.

THE VALUE OF a POKER HAND
in Colorado seems to depend en-
tirely on the susceptibility of the hold
er to hypnotic influence. Suppose, for
instance, that A holds something like
three kings and pair Of jacks. Under
ordinary circumstances there is an ag-
gregatiou that the average man would
risk his hopes OF the hereafter on. But
wait minute. suppose B holds
treys and deuces, a pair OF each. a
simple. unaffected poker player with
such a hand would feel that he had no
more chance TO annex a pot than TO
saHnter through regions Plutonic with
out acquiring a suggestion OF sulphur.
Yet it's not always thus. at least in
Colorado.
lib is d hypn0tist and A lacks power
to resist. B may be able 10 convince
him that he holds nothing better than
a pair Of Tours, thus making his treys
and deuces good. If reports be true.
this is what has been happening in the
quiet little city Of Trinidad, state of
Colorado. An eastern paper publishes
a telegram purporting to come Erom
Trinidad and giving details Of the
doings of one r. o. Keller. professor Of
hypnotism. animal magnetism or what
YOU will The professor" gave exhi-
billions in Trinadad At the close Of
each performance. feeling the need for
social relaxation, he persuaded several
young gentlemen Of the town to engage
with him in games Of draw.
It was truly wonderful to see the
way the professor" won A gentle
man on the other side Of the table
might think he had a straight flush.
but, with wave Of his hand the pro-
fessor persuaded him that his flush
was only an ace high" while he him
y self scooped the pot on a pair Of
deuces. So il went day IN and day
out. or rather night in and night out.
until Keller had gathered some $4,000
in good coin that belonged to the other
/ fellows. Then he went to his hotel
hypnotized the clerk into believing he
had paid his bill and departed for some
distant point.
Next day the subjects" came out Of
their respective frances. so they say.
and tried e. catch the professor. "
They were too late, however. He had
covered his trail. So runs the story.

tales are readable. but mighty few peo-

HENRY cLEws, 4umAHITARIAN.

THE HERALD's highly esteemed
L correspondent. Mr.. Henry Clews of
New York. is always entertaining. but
this week he is more than usually bril-
liant. In his pleasant, chatty way. Mr..
Ciews tells of a number Of things cal
culated to restore confidence TO that
awesome thing known as "the market"
one Of these is the prospect Of an early
close to the whr in South Africa.
when the Boer war is over" says Mr..
CIews. "and the waste of about $780,,
oOo. 600 yearly stopped, this country win
be better of"
There spoke the true humanitarian.
How wide aud how deep must be the
stream Of the milk of human kindness
in such a soul as this. Hats off, every
body. 10 Henry. Think how his great
heart must throb with pain at con-
sideration of those two hundred mill
lion innocent little dollars rolling help
lessly TO their doom on the South AT
rican veldt. Into his eyes the sympa-
thetic tear is springing as he remem-
hers the cruel fate of those dollars
Grief such as this really ought to be
sacred. No profane publicity should be
attached 10 it, but The Herald cannot
forbear to can attention to the benev-
olent Mr. Clews.
In the face Of sorrow such as his it
would be mercuessly cruel TO iiount
other things. Let US hope no one will
annoy Mr.. CleWs with stories Of Boer
children gasping out their little lives in
noisome concentration camps; let US
fervently pray that his generous sym
pathy win not be rasped by pictures Of
Boer mothers driven from their burn
ing homes. All, no. Rather let us shut
out the recollection of the blood that
for more than two years has flowed
over the veldt, of the widows and the
orphans, ia South Africa and in Eng
land, whose bitter tears give token Of
a woe that can never die.
1t is true that a cessation of HOSTILE
ties in South Africa viii prevent more
bloodshed: it is true that permanent
peace viii save many a husband,
father. brother and son for useful citi-
zenship in England and the Transvaal.
But what is an end like that compared
with the saving of two hundred mill
lions Of dollars which. as 0fr. Clews 50
truthfuny and 50 tearfully says. are
now being wasted every year? All
! l. nor to this great credit merchant
as a congressional committee so Gu
pbonious,y styles men of Mr.. Clews'
calling. He has pointed out BY delicate
inference that a lot Of sympathy has
! been misdirected.
"Ye that have tears to shed. pre-
pare 10 shed them now, for the poor.
lost, wandering two hundred millions
of dollars on the blood-reddened veidt

THE REVIVAL OF A FAMOUS PERIOD
ICA1-
ICAL.

ICAL-
The French periodical, Il Art is well re-
membered by readers, not only in Paris, but IN
England and in America For years it ranked
with the Gazette des Beaux-Arts" and with
Mr. Hamerton's invaluable ''Portfolio.' Indeed,
it rendered unique services to the cause, for 1t
was a periodical of generous dimensions, and
was able therefore, to commission larger plates
than were admissible in either OF the two other
publications just mentioned The policy of the
rnanag cement gave especially valuable impetus
to the art of etching. Original and reproductive
etchings formed a regular feature, and some OF
the best plates of the time were brought out
in the pages of "L'Art." Then, for some reason
or other ten years or so ago, ii suspended pub
LEGATION. Recently the distinguished editor, NJ.
Paul Leroi whose energy and taste had so long
served to carry the periodical from one triumph
to another, has revived it, and from the num-
bers which have just reached us ii is clear that
he has lost none Of his editorial skin.
