Used Gals for Poker Chips
and Smelling the Cat Poker Championship of Western New York and How Old Man Booker Went Broke Two Pair Queens High.

The strangest poker game ever played in western New York was fought out two weeks ago by Pete Smelling, of Hamlin, N. Y., better known as the "Cat Hermit" and "Old Man" Booker, of Clarkson, likewise a recluse and something of a cat fancier. The two men live about one mile apart, with the town line between them. It was in reality town against town, with cats for chips.
 The game grew out of professional jealousy, as each of the players pre- tended to be the boss hermit in point of years, hard luck and number of cats. Last August Old Man Booker happened to meet Pete at the village store, and among other things declared that when it came to poker he could make Pat Sheedy hunt cover.
 Il am strong on it," he announced. "I'm husky. I haven't played for no one hefty enough to make it inter esting.'
 "If you dig up my past, you'll find I'm quite a cuss with the pasteboards, myself" said Pete. .. .
 Dare you tos~meet me- cried the old man. .
 I'm for that What shall we play for?" asked Pete. -.., ...> >..-s
 Old Man Booker scratched his rough chin and thought deeply. Then he had an inspiration -.~-....
 How are you fixed for cats?" he asked 4'.
 Got about 50, and 20 kittens" re- piled Pete.
 "All right! let's play for cats," said Booker.
 So it was agreed, and two weeks ago the game was pulled off. Booker col lected his feline assets and carted them over to Pete's tumble-down farmhouse Pete had his chips meowing, and spit ting in an empty room and no time was lost in bringing out a greasy deck of cards, and the game began on 8 kitten ante and two-cat limit
 On the first hand Pete straddled the ante for one cat, but his boost began to eat up Cookers kittens.
 I'm not going to lose my edge that way" declared Booker. 'Tf you want to fight cats I've got some ethoroughbreds in that crate"
 A compromise was effected by bring ing in two big boxes with stout covers, one for kittens and one for cats. Booker refused to play and Pete pulled down the stakes
 On Cookers deal it went into a jack pot and both put up kitten, as neither had openers.
 Change cat for me-" requested Pete.
 Booker pushed two kittens across the board
 On the next deal Booker opened for two cats and Pete drew cards and boosted the sweeting one kitten. Booker drew

vlt1ng, and so, taking a different course from Jfmmy's and a more leisurely pace, I ascended the gentle slope. I was almost within the shadow of the fine old trees when, turning a little to the right, came suddenly into view of white parasol with blue polka dots. There was girl under it, and stopped short. Immediately MT. Trask jumped up from the far side of the parasol, sketchbook and pencil in hand, and hailed me by name. The sunshade dropped at that moment, and had a glimpse of dainty white gown adorn- ed with blue ribbons and of a very effective hat-so effective, indeed, that nearly fell over backward at the sight of it, for beyond possibility of question it was the one had picture of in my pocket. This was the more certain because I saw the hat before the lady turned her head-saw it pre- 'cisely as the camera had caught it.
