Burial an Imposture?

Strange Parallels.
Mr.. Druce came from Australia, his
native land, some three years ago, and
since then has been engaged in gath
ering the sinews Of war and collecting
evidence to support his claim. Strange
parallels Of habits and eccentricities in
the fifth duke Of Portland and the
Druce shopkeeper, he alleges, have been
discovered.
Both were of the same height and
build. Both loved to burrow in under
ground passages-Welbeck Abbey, the
ducal seat, being literally honeycombed
with subterranean works. Both had

An Interrupted Game of Poker.

Talking about America, here is a
story heard the other day. l can
hardly believe il is true. l wouldn't,
only citizen Of the great United States
told it to me, says NJ. P. A.
John B. Bloggs and Silas X. Shuttle
are both canned goods packers in
Chicago. They are fierce rivals. They
both happened to start off to do Eu,
rope" at the same time. The other
Sunday morning chance threw them
into the same pew in London church.
When the collection plate came
around, Bloggs took it in his hand, put
in IS bill, held it under the nose of
Shuttle, and said: "I'll raise you any
thing you like to CO."
Shuttle deposited $40 bill.
Bloggs sat down, put the plate on his
knee, and with cheerful alacrity took
ont his wallet to fiud SIS.
And they might have been at it still
if the Mortified church warden had not
interferred.
OF course, if you don't understand
the American national game of 'poker"
you won't understand this story.
