Photograph in Watch Case Leads
Him to Change His Ways.

Hlddlstown, N. Y, Dispatch, 5th
to Baltimore Sun
A sweet baby face, photograph,
cd on the interior of wutca ra,u,
caused remorse in u burglars
heart and led to his returning
stolen booty and making = detar-
mination to reform.
One night last week the resi-
dsncs of Sy lvanus Ashley, near

OF several articles, including a
gold watch. On the interior of
the case was photograph of Ash

All efforts to apprehend the bury
lar or recover the property having
proved unavailing, Ashley had
abandoned hope, when be dIscrv-
cred a package containing he
stolen articles on his porch Ne-.
,terday morning. Inclooei in the
parcel was the following note:
'''Dear Sir: st"le this property
from your house rerenilv w1ile

face on the watch case il reminded
me OF my own little one, long
since dead. Then | thonyht of
the Innocence of childhood and the
happy days when | was engaged
in IN honest and lucrative bnsi
ness. This retrospect caused
indsscribabls anguish of heart,
and | resolved to return the stolen
property and hereafter lead an
honest life, God helping me.

Ashley declares that he is now
even more anxious than ever be-
fore to meet tho stranger, as he
wants to help him in his work Of

Few Mules Sold h Yurk1hle. Captain Richmond Hobson
Objection to Tho Extension of
Time in Paying Taxes.

W. N'i'U, c~u. -opoCtaI. "A
level>headetl business man said to
the writer few days ago that
this thing Of extending the time
for paying taxes from january /
to March l wss all wrong. That
it disorganizea the financial ar
rangemrnts of the State and all
the counties, and was of no bsns-
fit to anybody except tho large
taxpayers who could. pay as well
one time as another. The email
taxpayer can pay ~ we'll in Nov
smhsr as February, in fact it is
often the case that he can pay
without trouble in tho fail and is
forced to borrow the necessary
cash with which to pay later on.
The citlzea referred to uggest-
I'D that the proper plan would hs
to open the tax books on or about
October Is aud allow taxes to bs
paid without penalty until Dec.
|, ,thsn,ifan extension was absolute
ly necessary to allow the Govern
or Aad Comptroller General to
extend the tIme until Decsm her
20, whom the backs would finally
and absolutely close aud penalty
attach.
The State and county would thsa
be In position to meet all their
claims promptly. and their busi-
psss would move suoothIy. 1t is
hardly likely, however, that 70
sensible business scheme willmest
the approval Of the Legislature,
for the very si,nple reason that it
would deprive some of the "st.tes-
men" of what they consider q
very valuable piece Of political
capital. :.aa
Atthis time last year not less
than Slo, 600 wsrth of mules and
horses had already bsen sold by
the local dealers. 1t is sxcsediue-

the house and celebrated poker expert
If man had Morgan's money. poker
or anything else he might engage in
would be game of bluff, and that is
all. You can take a roll of money big
enough Ito trip a greyhound and lay it
on the table and win with a seven
high.
That, however, isn't poker. 1t is high
way robbery. Poker in a game where
each OF the players is about equally
provided with chips or the wherewithal
TO get them, is a scientific contest
where the man who knows most about
the characteristics of the other play
ers and the value of cards and the
chances to get them, cashes in the
chips AS for it's not being American, it
is as American as the Fourth of July,
and about as predominant.
"cOLE" MARTIN, expert card play
err in Washington from the time of
Henry CIay-We played poker with
them all, and I want to say to you
that the man who gets the money
isn't the man who bluffs, but the man
who plays a steady, consistent game
and bets 'em when he has 'em. You
hear stories about men who get big
pots on small pairs by bluffing, but
the man who has an average of aces
up is the chap I want to back. He
can play with my money Of course
poker is the American national game.

POETRY ON HOW TO WIN AT DRAW POKER

the possessions Of jimmy y W Yak the the
New York sporting man, is a book on
poker by George w. Allen, proprietor of
the Planters hotel, st. Louis
The book is in rhyme, and is a COM
pendulum of expert advice to poker play
ers, telling them when to go in and when
TO stay out, how to draw to every possi-
BILE combination, and giving with mathe-
NAUTICAL precision the chances for filling
any hand.
1t is freely Illustrated with pen-and-ink
drawings IN colors, and is a unique and
valuable little volume of reference.
Here is some of the advice:
THE DRAW.
They whoI $50 i'm with hands the best
WIN come OUT better than the rest
It's what they draw to- and have
And not ALI in the draw as told.
Drawing three cards, you're we'll aware.
once IN three times improves a. pair :
AS once in five two pairs you'd find
AND once In eight three of a kind
Though fiushes fill but once in five,
When ..d they don't FILL good time to
And very often (by mistake)
They raise 1T" when the flush don't
make.
Drawing for ffushes ought to pay
When five or six ''go in and Stay
Or When there's any chance to win
FIVE times the cost of going in.
With pair and double chance for straight
Break any pair below the eight
Just one in six make straight you will
It's one In twelve that two pairs fill.
With -four flush" and tens or under,

der
With faces up" and 'sthrees" to beat.
Draw threes if others don't compete.
With little pair (and little pot)
If you Improve you better not;
It's three to one that when you do
You make bet, and lose it, too.
With ace and small pair chance is fair
one TO I'VE you beat all two pair;
You once in eight make 'aces and
And once In twelve have 'threes'' in
hand
You make "threes' and bet the limit.
Chance is even you don't win it.
It's odds three deuees will not win.
II made with all the others in
Drawing one to three of a kind
Is done only just for blind;
BY drawing two, you improve more,
AS fourS make once in tWenty-four.
Draw two or one (the hand to screen),
you make full hand once in sixteen;
But making 'fours' is twice as hard
When you hold up" and draw one card
When you have ''threes" and pot is small.
And you draw one to fool them all.
mat you improve" it's one to 'leven
AS tours" make once in forty-seven.
With any 'sthrees," YOU understand
F'Iushes or straights viii beat YOUR hand.
It's one in nine, If two you take
That you have fours or full hand make.
Sometimes with ''three" you have more
fun
BY holding up and drawing one:
But in big pots where all go in,
Draw tWe-you may need "fours'' to
win.

Representatives Beidler and Nevin, of
Ohio; Senator Mitchell and one or
| two others sat down for a friendly
game of poker at Representative Beid-

They were playing all jackpots, and
| during the evening there came a time
when the speaker was next to the
| dealer and opened for the limit, which
| was not very large. NeVin dropped
! out, and so did Senator Mitchell Beid-
Ter r. ised and the speaker raised back.
| They see-sawed for a time. Finally,
| the speaker just saw the last raise and
| they drew. The speaker took two
| cards.
Quick as a flash Beidler asked for
two cards also, The speaker made
modest bet. BeidIer~ raised it to the
