THE LATEST POKER

They're playing a new game Of
poker in Chicago" said a travelling
man. ITS called typhoon poker. and
it certainly is a hummer.
THE game is a simple one to play,
and l understand IL has already brok.
en- mp few Chicago families. Not
more than Ave persons can play it,
and IL is n good deal like stud poker.
Surprising that there are FIVE per.
sons playing. the dealer hands out
foor cards, face down, TO each player.
The fftn card is face up, and then the
betting begins, the man who has the
highest face card making the first bet
on what he considers the value OF his
entire FIVE cards. There IL a limit, OF
course, bat it needn't be high TO make
the game lively.
when the betting is over on the
first Eve cards each man is dealt an.
other card, face up. The betting be.
gins again and keeps up until each
man lie satisfied that he has had
enough.
"onoe more the same operation is
gone through, and by that time each
man having eight cards from which to
make mp the best poker hand OF five
cards, there are some pretty stiff
hands out. The betting increases in
accordance with the value Of the
hands, and each man is ready to bet
his pile.
"The next card, the ninth and last,
is dealt face down. That means that
four of the cards held by each player
are exposed to those around the board
and the rest are concealed except to
the player.
Now anyone who has played poker
knows the sort OF combination that
can be made out of nine cards. And,
knowing that, il isn't hard to figure
out the kind of plunging that is done
in typhoon poker"

REV. KERR b. UPPER TELLS A
GOOD STORY ON PHIL
ADELPBIA.

A story in the New York Times will
be of unusual interest In Paducah, as
the narrator Of the joke was formerly
pastor Of the First Baptist church here
and has many friends here.
That the proverbial slowness with
which everything Philadelphian
moves can come in to good advantage
in a trying situation was the conten-
ton of the following story, told Of .
recent dinner Of churchmen in this
city by the Rev. DR.. Kerr Boyce Tup-
per, a Baptist minister from the City
of Brotherly Love. says the Times:
From Chicago comes the story of
how q man fell to the street from the
twelfth story Of huge skyscraper, 4"
said DR.. Topper. "A cry went up,
traffic in the vicinity stopped, and
those near by turned their faces away
TO spare themselves the gruesome sight
when the descending form should
strike the pavement When they
turned round they expected to see
nothing but q crushed and bleeding
body. Judge of their surprise when
instead they saw q man slowly get up
from the street and brush the dust
from his clothing.
What are you not killed p asked
somebody in the crowd.
No. the man replied with a
smile.
a. But every bono in your body must
be crushed, man, exclaimed another.
Are you not the man who fell from
the twelfth story OF that building?'
:" 4 certainly am, the man replied
with drawl. But, you see, ] came
from Philadelphia. and so fell slow
ly.'"

NEW GAME OF kNOCKERINA.
Novel Gambling Diversion Started
In Washington.

In Washington.
The men who exist in a certain
boarding house in Washington have
developed a new gambling game, the
Washington Post says. They call it
"knockerina." 1t is best played when
all the boarders, men and women, are
sitting out on the front porch and on
the lawn during the hours of daylight
that remain after dinner, although it
can be played at any time when wo-
men not living in that particular board
ing house are around or passing in re-
view in front of the house.
The method of "knOckerina" is as
follows:
There is a standing idea among all
Of the male boarders that no woman
will listen to mems praise of another
woman for her good looks or, for that
matter, for any other quality without
getting in some sort of a dab at the
expense of the praised woman.
So, for example. when all of the
boarders are sitting out in front of the
house one of the ''knockerina" playing
men, seeing woman coming down the
street, will eXclaim:
pretty girl, that, isn't she?'
He says this so that all of the wo-
men can hear the remark.
If by any possible chance any of the
women agree with him that the girl
coming down the street really IS pretty
then the man making the remark is
out a quarter, the other "knockerina"
players matching among themselves to
see which of them shall receive the
quarter
If. however-and this is what almost
invariably happcns-one of the women
bOarderS makes a different reply,
knock. in fact, as, for example, "Oh,
yes; she's fairly good looking, but she
has such an ugly walk" or "Um-ye-es,
not so bad looking, but her eyes are
too close together" or Decent enough
appearing, but she's so mean TO her
mother" or "She pads dreadfully," or
'She's snippy and stuck up" or she
cries for hours every day because she
knows her nose is crooked or some
thing like that. In this case the young
man who has remarked that the girl
coming down the street was pretty
wins quarter from the other knock
erina" players, and they match among
themselves to see which of them shall
give the % cents to the winner.
It's a great game, all right, but the
fellows who are as occasion arises
forced to take the short end of it by
standing to lose a quarter on the propo-
sition that none of the women will
have q knock for the woman praised
are losing out pretty fast so far.

The Crops In Kansas.

Kansas is in serious straits. Ordina-
rily the corn crop has been cultivated
two or three times by this season Of
the year and the farmers enabled to
direct all their energy to the harvest
ing of the wheat. says the New York
Commercial Advertiser. Cold and wet
have put the corn back so far that the
two kinds of work will be stimuli
taneous. The latest reports indicate
that the wheat crop will reach S0,0OO,-
600 bushels, and every available man IS
needed to harvest it. The corn crop IS
estimated at 1O0,0O0,0O0 bushels, or
half of what it would have been ex-
cept for the rains of early June. In
stead of 100000 acres being given
to this crop one-third of that amount
is planted. Oklahoma estimates q
wheat crop of 100000 bushels, the
crop averaging twenty bushels, but bet
ter than sixty-three pounds.

Various religious bodies are under

evangeliZation, says the Baltimore

lean Methodists have, under Bishop
Hartzell, entered upon an extensive in
dustrial undertaking, comprising 12,-
600 acres and their development, and
now a large number of Disciples OF
Christ are setting about the organiZa-
ton of an African industrial colony
Missionary enthusiasm is behind the
venture. Financial subscriptions are
coming in. Part of the plan is to es-
tablish in each proposed colony a Dis
ciples of Christ church. Those behind
the enterprise claim the new way to be
an improvement upon the old in mis-
sIonary method.
