POKER CHIPS.

There are more than four 'knaves''
to the pack in some games.
In big hands, as with big guns, you
want to look out for the recoil.
The moral motto. Deal as you would
be dealt by is classed as the Joker
in poker pack.
It is awfully bad form, you know, to
let the loss of few chips make you
look as cross as il you thought you
were getting the double one.
It may be good advice to "bet your
hand for all it's WORTH" but it is a
mighty dangerous thing to bet it for
all or more than you are worth
Novice asks which is the right way
to cut the cards. Our experience teach.
es US, my boy, that the right way and
at the same time the only safe one is
to cut them precisely as does gilded

Vosburg started in on his career of
crime when boy in his early teens. He
was an expert bank robber and house
breaker. and seldom tackled a job that
did not offer the prospect of securing
cash or bonds to the amount of thousands
Of dollars. In his latter days, when he
had reformed and most of his pals had
passed over to the great majority, he
talked freely of his early exploits and
told how he and his pals operated. Banks
big commercial concerns and the homes
of the very wealthy were usually their
victims. Vosburg boasted that he had
never stolen dollar from a poor man
or had robbed anyone who could not af-
ford the loss
The old man once calculated that in
the half century he had been following
the profession of thief he had taken
more than $4,000, 600. His hauls in one
week amounted to s13S,000 He oper-
ated all over the country, from New
Orleans to the borders of Canada. He
had been arrested many times, but had
only served two terms, one Of three
years and another Of less than seven.
The ill-gotten money was squandered in
various ways, but most of it went from
him through his passion for gambling.
Vosburg came of Revolutionary stock.
and some of his family connections stand
high in the social world. He leaves a

A Japanese Legend.

Il
The renown of the Japanese for cour-
age was as remarkable in Marco Po-

narrates the story of an invasion of
the country by the forces of the khan
of Tartary. A Japanese army of 10000
men was besieged in tower Refus-

virtue of certain stones which they had
in their arms, inserted between the
skin and the flesh. And the charm and
virtue of these stones were such that

Apropo of the opposition to Sunday

village, has begun crusade against Sun
day golf playing.
Here is whatsthe Rev. Mr.. Waller says
in reply to a correspondent who asks ad-
rice on the nropriety Of Sunday golf: "A
Christian Who nesiects public worship on
Sunday and devotes ths day to reading
the papers, gol6ng or sailing, does wrong,
because he neglects plain duty. If he
gives the day eoEer9ito amusement and
then attends the evening service so great
y exhausted that he cannot remain
awake, he does not worship Cod
The Rev. Mr. Waller, in his reply to
his correspondent, says he has always
been opposed to Sunday golf. not because
st is sinful to play the game on Sunday,
but because it deprives club servants of
their Sunday rest and takes away from
religious influence by money bribe the
lads who act as eaddies. and whose yet
Uniformed characters need the influence
