Ceremonies.

Mr. Sparks held up his hand and
swore to protect the Constitution and
fight any duels, and also solemn
ly asserted that he never had fought
any or assisted in any such affair. and
then Lem Allen made the same asser-
tons with his right hand high in air.
SAYS the Carson Appeal.
The tallest swearing ever done in
the State was probably done by John
Sparks, as he is about two inches tall
err than any Governor we have ever
had.
Sparks remarked to the crowd in a
short speech that he appreciated the
honor and confidence placed in him by
the people of Nevada, and holding out
the oath which he had Just signed add
ed: my curse during the next four
years will be guided as far as | am
able TO guide it, by this document
There was a hearty round Of hand
clapping when he closed.
Lieutenant Governor Allen spoke in
a happy strain relative TO the apprecia-
ton he felt at the verdict Of his con
~stituents and also of the pleasure he
experienced in acting as Lieutenant
Governor to such a worthy superior
officer as he knew John Sparks to be.
This was followed by another round Ct
applause and then the Governor turned
gracefully to his wife who was standing
near him and kissed her. At this
several people remarked:
Say, the new Governor is all right"
Governor Allen became somewhat
excited when he saw Sparks kiss the
little lady al his side, and having no
wife PRESENT, Allen began to look about
for somebody to kiss, but seeing no
one he knew. subsidized gracefully.

Few clergymen in America are better

Is entirely 10 the credit Of his fidelity
and Of the better feelings Of the legis-

In 1915, when travelling as a circuit
preacher, he was sent from ST. Louis .
Wheeling. w. Va On the boat were
several congressman, going TO Wash
ington, some of whom shocked the
young minister by their reckless speech
and habits They "swore outrageous
", drank whisky. to excess and played
cards day and night"
One Of the days Of the long river
journey was Sunday, and Mr.. Milburn
was asked to preach. The offending
congressman We're present to hear him,
and at the close Of an appropriate dis
course he addressed them directly and
solemnly denounced their actions in the
plainest language He told them he
had supposed that the representatives.
of the nation at its capital were repre-
sentatives Of its character as well as
of its intellect. but 'ff | am to judge
the nation by you," said he, II can
come to no other conclusion than that
it is composed Of profane swearers,

He told them that as an American
citizen he felt disgraced by their ex-

"A GAME OF
FREEZE OUT

l0riginaLI
It was in the olden time, when the
steamboats, Of the Mississippi were in
their glory. The ladies' cabin was cur
tanned of from the main cabin, which
was chiefly occupied for gambling.
One morning a man got on the steamer
Prairie Queen at Natehez with an old
slave and his wife, intending TO take
them to New Orleans to be sold. They
expected to be disposed of separately
and We're broken hearted at the pros
pect. Seating themselves on a coil OF
rope on the foreeastle, they bowed
their heads In their hands and gave
way to convulsive weeping.
BY the time afternoon came on most
OF the passengers had seen them, and
a great deal OF sympathy had been ex-
cited Finally man approached the
owner and asked him what he expect
cd to get for the couple.
"six hundred dollars each"
spll tell you what I'll do said the
inquirer. "I'll make up a party to buy
poker chips to the amount you ask for
your man and woman. and Wen play
q game OF freeze out for them, the
man who gets all the chips to own the
niggers.a
'That would be agreeable to me,
subj" said the owner. "I'll take my
share Of chips. Make up your party"
It was not long before four men were
seated In the cabin to play a game for
two human beings, it being understood
that the winner, other than the present
owner, should not sell them separately.
In an hour one Of the party was frozen
out, and soon after another met the
same fate, leaving the owner Of the
slaves, the principal winner, to play
out the game with one man who had
gone into it on purely philanthropic
motives.
It was about this time that a clerical
gentleman stepped from his stateroom
and as he passed the gaming table,
seeing crowd looking on, asked the
cause of the especial interest. Upon
being informed he pushed his way to
the remaining players and said:
Gentlemen, I am surprised that
you HhbAA0 pay AoA luAS 0i0 NpApA1
without giving them a chance in the
game for their freedom"
''They don't play poker" replied the
owner.

THE TEMPLE or PEACE.

Difficulties In way OF Erecting a
Building TO BeIong to the World.
1t must be plain to any one who
looks at all sides Of Mr. Carnegies
project for temple Of peace at The
Hague that its execution is not to be
devoid Of difficulties, says the wash
ington correspondent Of tie New York
Post, The gift Is not, as many COM
mentators seem to think, to the king
dom Of the Netherlands or the munich
pality Of The Hague. The temple is
not to be built by Mr.. Carnegie except
in the sense that any one is the per
former of a deed who furnishes tho
means for its performance, otherwise
unattalnable.
The gift Is to the world--to mankind
The location happens to be The Hague.
because the signatory powers desig-
mated that city as the site for their
joint tribunal of arbitration. The me-
dium through which the money is pre-
scented is the government Of the Meth
erlands, and that governments accept
ance OF the trusteeship Is, OF course,
contingent upon the consent Of the
other powers. When it is remembered
that the temple is as much the proper
ty Of the cars government as Of
Queen Wilhelmina's and Of tile United
States and France ais Of either. it will
be plain that d good many tastes and
preferences must be consulted before
the actual work Of building can be be-
gun. Doubtless the way the matter
win be settled will be like the settle
ment of the international postal ar
rangement, the routine part Of which
is carried on always at Befne, in Swift

other parties. Tie Berne Office is prac-

The chips were turned over to him
and the money paid, whereupon he
began to play. asking a dozen ques-
tons with every hand. though finally
the game proceeded without any
marked stoppage for information.
Meanwhile nearly every passenger on
the boat was looking on. Then the
clerical man began to have q fine run
Of luck in the hands he held. He
Numbered so frequently that he did not
win all he might have won, but his
pile grew steadily.
Finally the $1,000 represented In
chips, owing to the blind luck Of the
cleric, was pretty nearly divided be-
tween him and the owner Of the slaves,
the other mans pile being reduced
TO $3.50. Then came a large jack pot
that no one seemed able to open. When
It was opened, 1t was the clerlc's turn
to bet. He studied his hand for some
time, then laid down his cards and
asked for an explanation Of a jack pot.
The players somewhat impatiently ex-
planned it to him several times, when
he said that he thought he understood
it Then he resumed the study Of his
hand and seemed in doubt what to do,
once making a movement to throw 1t
down, which he reconsidered. Taking
a Jack from his hand he asked one Of
his opponents II it were not king. On
being corrected, he showed a queen
and asked If it did not stand next be
low the jack. Corrected again, he
unused for awhile, then put up the re-
aulred chips and drew one card He
had had one straight and knew what it
was. 1t was plain either that he drew
for another or to two pairs. One Of
the players bet all he had, and when
the betting continued was frozen out.
The other, the slave owner, had three
sevens and filled with a pair Of deuces.
lie determined to end the game by
taking all the cleric had, thus retaining
his slaves and 5000 besides.
There was no trouble about drawing
the cleric in. Every time his opponent
raised him he raised his opponent.
Finally when the chips Of both parties
were all in the pot 1t was explained to
the cleric that nothing remained to be
done. His opponent threw down bis
"fuIl hand"
"Does that beat fourteen spots?" ask
ed the cleric innocently, throwing four
tens on the table.
There was shout of laughter from
the crowd and an oath from the ex-
owner after which bill Of sale was
drawn transferring the slaves to the
cleric, who made out free papers for
Them.
