morning by Chief OF Police Bigbee on

A little more than month ago Lincoln,
accompanied by a Miss Field Of Fiske-
Vile, the owner OF considerable property,
called at the town clerks office ostensibly
to make Inquiries relative to wood lot
which she owned.
They then asked for and obtained "A

she claimed TO be the wife Of George a.

But one more week Is allotted the
coaches In which to put the finishing
touches TO the Brown eleven before the
game with Dartmouth on Saturday and
the season will have closed.
The seasons work up to date has been
much better than last years both In the
playing ability OF the team, and also in
regard 10 the spirit shown by the men
on the team, though the teams played
have for the most part been below Brown
In class. OF the nine games played this
fall Brown has won five and lost four.
The Brunonians lost py a small score
TO Amherst and later were beaten by
Pennsylvania in hotly contested game
For the last week of work the Brown
eleven begins training in good physical
condition and confident Of giving the
Green the battle Of their lives. None OF
the players with the exception OF Webb
and Baker has been injured this season
and both Of these men are now getting
rapidly into shape again. During the
past week Webb has been taking light
work with the squad and IL s expected
that he will at least START the game Sat.

come around all right with a weeks lin

out for practice this week. but II Is

He had lived at a large hotel, and the report went about that he had got his illness there. What ever you do, don't eat oysters at that hotel" was the advice that one friend was giving another, based on the belief that this man had died of a disease con- tracted in the hotel dining-room, where the chances were immensely in favor of his having got the fever somewhere < else

POLITICAL p0KEI
mined by the Game fn as State Of Kansas. '

Topeka Is much agitated over reveIae tions of draw poker in high places, and nothing could better show than this up- roar what inroads the civilization Of the east is making on the life of the bound- less prairies. Once upon time, states the Kansas City Journal, draw poker was to Kansas what bridge whist Is to the parlors of the fashionable. It was prac- tised as an art, pastime, g profession. No one thought then of concealing his play of the game, but, rather. 1t was . subject of pride and boasting. Indeed, 1t was more than game, for 1t served at times in the adjudication of the most serious problems Of state or government
 At present the law of Kansas recog- nizes the game of chance known n drawing lots" as the proper means of deciding all ties in elections, but foru1- erly draw poker was resorted to ae . more orderly means Of promising. For example, in one of the western c6un- ties, when two amiable gentlemen tied for the office of representative they played game of ''freeze-out" to de- termine which should enjoy the office. Again, not so many years ago, when the senate committee on congressional ap~s portionment came to deadlock over tho divefh plans for dividing the state Into congress districts, the members nd- journed to room in the Copeland took each generous stack of chips anu played to "a finish. Under the terms 0g this historical game the committeeman who lost his chips withdrew himself and his apportionment plan from furtn4t consideration; and when the game| was reduced to two gentlemen, the one who froze the other out fixed the plan Of ap-! portionment. which stands with Httle| change as the plan of to-day.
 Volumes could be written of poker iu- cidents in Kansas. Once we'll known congressman, who, by the way, has reap- peared In Kansas politics, had to meet the charge made by some overprudighE people that he was addicted to the gamo of poker, He appealed to his political associates to help him out The one who came most energetically to his recuse was Capt, Bill Hackney. the Winfield statesman. "I am in position to state; ss certified the doughty captain, "thak m. Blank is less addicted to the game than any man ever played with"
 More elaborate but quite as effectfve was the defense once made by Steve Os- born, ex-speaker of the Kansas house. Some 12 years ago Steve was running for reelection to the office of district judge in western Kansas. The pops 9otuut v handbill accusing him of being poker player and circulated 1t widely.

 Cemetery Lot.

'sOne of those things which go to show that where there Is will there is way is well exemplifed by happening in a certain southern city," said a weN- known former railroad man in the New Orleans Times-Democrat "A man be. fore his marriage had purchased a beautifully located lot in the city cem- etery and paid $i00 for 1t. After awhile he married and some ten or twelve years afterward died and was buried in the aforesaid beautifully located lot and his grave was carefully attended for awhile by his widow.
 When the big show came off in Chi. cago and all the world was en route to that mecca the widow took notion she must see the show. As a result ot long cogitation over ways and means she had the body of her deceased hus- band exhumed< and railroaded 50 miles away and reburied at cost of about SIS, when she sold the cemetery lot for $600 and had good old time at the bic worlds fair.
