MIR. BowsER's EUcHRE.
It Differs Somewhat From That OF Mr..
Hoyle.

Mr.. Bowser had been reading and
smoking for half an hour after dinner
when he seemed to suddenly think OF
something and rose up and went down
the hail to his overcoat. When he re-
turned he had a fancy deck Of cards
In his hand and said to Mrs. Bowser:
I'd almost forgotten these. They
were given me by an agent who hap
pened into the office today"
Mrs Bowser had a word of praise for
the deck, and then Mr.. Bowser con-
tinued:
I've finished with the paper. and
don't believe you care much for your
book. and suppose we have a few
games of euchre to initiate this deck?''
IL don't feel much like playing to-
night" she replied, remembering prev
ious experiences and wondering how
she could turn his mind into another
channel
Nonsense! Just put away your old
book and Wen have a few lively games
! think heard you Dragging around
few weeks ago that you could beat me
all hollow.
Cant we let it go until tomorrow
night2 Mrs Green is making a dress,
and she may send in for me at any
minute"

When she sends you can go. but
wen probably have time to play a
dozen games first
Mrs. Bowser saw that there was no
way out of it, and she laid aside her
book and said:
The last time we played you said
cheated and raised great row about
IT. If you get mad this time
My dear woman, have no recOllec-
ton of raising a row, and if you can
cheat me you are welcome to-
But don't want to cheat. want
to play fair, and I want you to do the
same"
Certainly. I will Only. if man
beats a woman at cards she always
Equeals about it. I shall beat you four
games out OF five, and if there is any
getting mad you will be the one"
you'll hear no squeaiing from me,
as you call it. I've got the book of
Hoyle right here, and we shall be guild
ed by it in our play"
Mr.. Bowser agreed and began to

deal fell to him.

''I order up your hand" interrupted

hut I was going to take it up, anyhow.
Lead away. and if I don't make you
a tired woman before you get through
then you may call me a goat"
Mrs Bowser led. and continued to
lead until every trick was taken. and
as she scored two Mr.. Bowser forced
laugh and said:

Modern pance al Ealrie..

The throng Of men and women who
hurry up town along Broadway ev-
cry evening about o'clock paid a
conscious compliment to the charms
of unconscious childhood the other
evening on the block between Thirty
eighth and Thirty-ninth streets and
incidentally put themselves to a GER
tain inconvience. An organ grinder
had halted his noise-making machine
at the curb in front Of brilliantly
lighted candy store and began to
make the air melodious with the
strains Of a two-step. Just at that
moment a woman from one of the
west side streets, who was pushing
a baby carriage along the sidewalk,
halted in front of the shop window
to look at the display of sweets. Tod
ding by her side were two tiny girls,
who were just about big enough to
walk alone. The moment the organ
began to play the tots began to dance,
or rather hop about, on the walk in
funny little steps that by no means
could be said to be either graceful
or anywhere in time to the music.
But they didn't mind that, nor did
the Broadway throng. Men and wo'
men cleared space on the walk for
the tots to dance in. Some of the
young men and women went out in
the street, others crowded along close
up to the shop windows. AS long as
the music lasted there was an open
ring around the youngsters, who were
perfectly unconscious Of the disturb
ance they were creating in the ordi-
nary course Of traffic.-New York

Life In an Arab Home.

At last we were to be admitted to
the home life of an Arab. Doffing our
slippers, we were ushered through the
low, dark doorway into little court
with room on either side. The wife
was seated on the, ground in most
picturesque costume of dark colors,
without veil, preparing the evening
meal. Hanging on the mud walls were
various pans and cooking utensils,
some Of which were bronze, others ter
ra-cotta. On the floor was brass
mortar and pestle used for pulverizing
the coffee. Over the first was large
earthenware dish in which fiat cake
was being cooked. Both husband and

Gown a Newspaper Hit.

Superb paper gowns have been
seen before, but some OF the cos
tunes at Tuxedo's paper ball last
week showed what the folk of the
smart set really can do in this line
once they put their minds to 1t. The
women were pictures in exquisite ere
atoms designed by Paris dressmakers
while the men made rather poor
showing in comparison. OF course,
things were easier for the women,
for to make pretty gowns out Of pa
per Is not so very difficult. It was
hard to believe in some cases that
the robes were not Of some other fab
ric, so graceful and dainty were they,
with the latest touch of fashion about
them. One very lovely one was OF

wreaths of tiny pink paper roses and

Golf Cure For Hay Fever.

II believe golf will cure any
case of hay fever in the country"
asserted George e. Colby. II suffer-
ed from the worst kind of hay fever
for twenty-five years, aud cured my
self by playing golf. The new organ
izat,on founded for the purpose OF
fighting the disease may be interest
ed in knowing just how did 1t.
Well, didn't know was accomplish
ing cure until it was all over.
Two years ago. after suffering ev-
cry year from the middle of August
to the time OF the first frosts be-
cause OF hay fever, took up golf
Playing because all thetother Irving
Park people were doing the same
thing. Previous to that time had
gone to Colorado or northern M.chi-
gan every summer to get away from
hay fever. This time. however, as
the season progressed. was sur
pred to find that the malady was dis.
appearing, and didn't have to go
away. l thought the change strange,
for I had tried every possible remedy
before tEat time without effect.
Last year I played golf with in-
creased pleasure. Four times week
II went to the Irving links and got
into the game for all it was worth.

air with vim that couldn't help
make me feel better. For over al

fever during the whole summer.
played the game again this year and
have suffered not the slightest touch
of the malady. wondered what
made the change and decided it was
the golf.
My advice to hay fever victims
is: Play golf with enthusiasm, pers-
pire freely and rid yourself of the
disease. Breathe the fresh air of the
links. Take the exercise with the
right spirit four times week and
you never will be troubled with the
fever again. Chicago Tribune.

known long ago, before he went to
the tenth pavilion.
His eyes, unused to the glare, can
only take in the details gradually, but
before long he sees the pretty furni-
ture, bright curtains, the birds, flow
crs and books which surround him.
His warders have gone and he Is left
alone. But not for long.
Like the Spanish Inquisition.
A portiere is drawn aside, two
spruce officers of the gendarmerie en-
ter and ask him in friendly tones to
sit down. This common act of cIvilIty
often makes poor creature shut up
IN cell for weeks and used to his
warder's brutal speeches, burst into
tears. He sits down bewildered, tea
Is brought in, cigarettes are handed
round, and the conversation begins.
This conversation Is nothing more
or less than cross examination pre-
vious to the form of q trial which is
generally gone through before politi-
cal offender is sentenced. The object
Is TO unnerve him to such a point that
he makes n clean breast of 1t and
gives information against his party.
These midnight visits are repeated at

long intervals, and men and women
who are proof against any amount of
physical suffering dread them more
than anything in the tenth pavilion.
After several such examinations.
alternated by dreary days in the cell.
he is taken to a small room hung
with mirrors and gloomy draperies.
He has scarcely time to get over the
shock of his altered appearance when
a man, dressed in black. energies from
behind a curtain and plies him with
questions. If the suspect refuses to
answer the man claps his hands, and
a couple of ruftians enter with whips
and beat him.
When the prisoner has undergone
several examinations, he Is either re,
leased for want of evidence or put
through the mockery of trial. A
mockery because. though the procura-
tor who judges him allows him legal
counsel, his fate is sealed beforehand.
There is no evidence for the defense,
but the prisoners counsel has the
right to confer with his client-in his
cell, of course, and in the presence of
warders.
