game the losers had cheerfulIy made out deeds covering their losses.
 1t is now recalled that the ante in that little game really varied at from s5000 to S69. .000, while the last hand was worth S. .e00, 900 to the two bluffers, who had carried their poker operations to suc- cessful issue. Among the first on the scene at the outbreak of the excitement following the discovery of oil near Beau mont were the stockman from San Am tonic and the capitalist from Dallas. The land they had won at the little game of draw was sold by them at from 5000 to 5000 per acre. It was not until the later discovery of oil at Sour lake that the politician stepped into the ring. The property he had ac- quired proved to be directly adjoining what is known as the proven field. That land is now selling as high as S75.- 600 per acre and is being divided into sixteenths and thirty-seeonds for the Accommodation of ordinary and anxious purchasers From Sour lake and the holder of the land won in the game comes the story of the play that

THE knFFERlNG RIcH.

This is good time to pause and shed la silent tear or two over the sorrows of the rich. They have 8 hard time of it anyway. Not
 much real fun for them in this world,
 and not much show to enter Heaven. And just now they are especially get-
 ting it in the neck, as the rude boys say. They were feeling fairly comfortable, for them, awhile ago. Their stocks and
 bonds were quoted at altitudinous
 prices. and the fear of poverty which
 had clouded their lives was consider
 ably nnitigatea. But there is no real rest for the rich. Their brief respite
 was too beautiful to last. They are now obliged to notice that riches have wings
 and are distressingly skillful in using them. They are called from Newport
 and other splendid places to save themselves from disaster if they can.
 And if they succeed in doing that they
 will be poorer and feel poorer than they have been and felt for 8 long time. Some .. them will not succeed and they will feel worse than those who can console themselves in such times as these by saying Blessed be nothing
 Hoe on. Man with the Hoe. Your lot is hard, but it has it's advantages and its compensations. The rich man is sweating and grunting more and more painfully than you are in these days.

RrLL THEp RE4LLY FLYe

If there isn't some high-fiying at St.
 Louis next year it will be because the
 high-fiying machines don't work. Some of those who will try to get the $10O,OOO prize are talking large about their ffy- CTS. w. M. Morris, a Monte Vista, Col .orado, mining engineer, is very san
 guine that he, has solved the problem.
 His machine will be thirty feet in diam
 ter and 150 feet long. Aluminium will
 be used in it's construction, but no gas bag will be used, as in other flying ma
 chimes. MT. Morris says his machine
 will travel one hundred miles an hour without lunging, tilting or tipping. E.
 A. Kinder, a Denver man, claims that
 his machine will average eighty miles an hour. Safety appliances are feat

S01fE HISTORIC RELICS.

Yankees are smart, but occasionally they get taken iii in a trade. Is it pos- sible that some of our good English friends are willing to swap bogus, or at leas. dubious historic relics" for good
 United States dollars? The London Mail announces the sale of the original old lcuriosity shop" of Dickens novel to an American. who will eventually take it l to pieces and re-erect it i'll the United Estates. Thousands, says the Mail, have | paid for the privilege of seeing the ven- Eerable edifice and of purchasing Dick

 the house written about by the master
 novelist really existed there or, as many suppose, in Fetter lane. Thirty-five lyears ago the observatory of house in lSt. Martins street was bought by an
 American syndicate for $500 and shipped across the sea. The Yankees were de- lighted. for they thought they were
 purchasing the room which had been fused by Sir Isaac Newton. Plenty of

The framework of aluminium and light steel tubing, with the motor, bat tery and propeller, will weigh about three hundred pounds. A test made re- gently of the model was entirely satis- factory. The machine described a cir cle about fifty feet in diameter, rising and dipping, and finally descended to it's moorings without hitch in it's mechan- ism. Streator, Illinois, will be repre- sented in the aerial tournament by an airship planned by Mir. Reiferscheid, of that town. Reiferscheid's machine con- sists of a balloon pointed at both ends and lying in a horizontal position. Around this balloon are strips of alum mum strong enough to make substan- tial framework. At each end are the |propeIlers, six in all, to be used in rais-
 ing and lowering the machine and to assist in guiding it. A six-horse power |gasolene motor will provide the motive power, and the balloon will be filled with
 hydrogen gas and dramatically sealed. Large fans will provide safety device which will permit the ship to slowly de- scend in case the balloon eollapses.
 And so forth and so on. Darius Green wont take part in the contest. but some of those who do will probably not do much better than he did.

Cooperative housekeeping can be
 successfully done. for awhile at least. It is now being carried on we'll in On- tsrio, California, by Cooperative
 Family Club. A dozen families of the place have united. rented tWo-story private residence and established a joint housekeeping arrangement. Four employees, including a stewardess, do the work of the establishment, supply ing meals to the forty three persons who make up the dozen families. Their united wages amount to about $50 a month, as against the $50 and $S5 a
 month which good cooks and general houseworkers in the place demand, and which each family has heretofore been obliged to pay when 1t was possible to
 secure them. Each family has it's own | table in the cooperative house with ! individual equipment Of linen, silver, and decoration. Every month the ex- lpenses are carefully audited by the clubs committee and the amount as- sessed pro rata among the club mem
 bers, children approximately accord | ing to their ages. Eleven cents per meal per person is the average cost, the best of food being provided. The women of the club take turns in mak- l ing out the menu, and in this way the tastes of each family are consulted.
