Size Of Ancient Babylon.

Ancient babylon was not such a
great city as some have supposed, ac-
cording To IT, Valentine Geere, the
archaeologist. lie says: The idea
of Babylons yastness and magnifi-
cence, to which we have become ac-
customed, has been practically eXplOd-
ed. DR. Kodewey told me that the
site of the city was larger than that
of any ether ancient city; but oven
so, the idea that ii could be compared
with London and its suburbs, which
has been very generally held. Is en-
tirely erroneous. In DCint of fact, ii
appears that its walls were not more
than eight miles in circumference.
Moreover. the great palaces are shown
to have been poor affairs after all,
with wretchedlv cramped apartments,
and next TO no pretensions to archi-
tectural style; and the temples were
exceedingly crude buildings"

LITTLE POKER AT WASHINGTON
Stories of Big Games Must BE Taken
With Allowances

Stories Of Big Games Must Be Taken
With Allowances.
1t was formerly quite the thing to
tell stories about big poker games
among the members of Congress.
Much was said about the Senatorial
game "millionaires' game and the
Congressional game and always we
heard about great lunches of money
changing hands. bluffs as high as the
banks of the Mississippi and all sorts
Of stories.
Frequently the senator, representa-.
tive, diplomat or rich man was named
and the winnings or losses told with
as much gusto as il they had really
happened, There were some pleasant
poker games In days gone by. and oc-
casionally some wonderful plays, but
one night, with a few Interesting Incl
dents, furnished material for a month
of stories,
Some OF those who figured in the
poker stories became annoyed at the
notoriety they gained and abandoned
poker entirely. For many years now
there has not been enough poker in
the capital TO hang story on.
