Ethical Value of Poker.

A. Clark Williamson of Chicago,
writing TO the InterOcean, takes such
high ground in regard to the game Of
poker as to make it worthy the con-
sideration of moral philosophers and
sociologists. In the first place, he
says that poker playing is not gam
bling, but scientific pursuit, a reveal
er Of character, a guide of conduct to
the moralist and the man OF business
If you think you know a man do not
feel sure of the fact until you have
played poker with him, tlen his vel.
low streaks, if he has any, will begin
to show through. Mr.. Williamson
closes with this impassioned appeal
for the game: "A man may deceive
his wife, he may four-fush his broth
ers in the lodge, he may succeed in
bluffing his way into leading place In
business. politics or society, but he
canoot sit in a poker game for an
hour before he is an open book to ev-
erybody around the table," If such is
the ethical value of poker it should be
taught to catechumens and find a well
come in every Sunday School.-Boston

Bryant had a wonderful memory.

was such that when at sea, where he

would beguile the time by reciting

He said that, however long the voy.

of Germany, France and Spain, Greece
and Rome He spoke several living
languages easily and correctly.

ISHMAEl OF THE GUTTER.
London Coster Declared to Be Last
Remnant of Worlds Old Race
of Wanderers.

London's outdoor man is the coster,
according to Outing. He is the Ish-
mael of our cutters. A very jolly lsh-
mael ii is true, who is more than con
tent TO acknowledge the line of de-
marcation between himself and the
true cOckney. But, nevertheless, in a
modified, twentieth century way, he is
still the wild man whose hand is
against every mans and every mans
against his. He is probably the last
remnant of the worlds old race of wan
derers-the last suggestion of the
primitive man-left to the cities. He
is 10 us town jewellers what the gypsy
is to the countryside His descent
seems to spring from the same rowing
stock. And he is regarded, from a safe
distance, with the same contempt by
those who don't know him His habits
and his impulses still SAVIOR strongly
of the days when tribe warred against
tribe, and every mans arm was for
himself and his clan. And although
his pitch is below the curb, his caravan
a barrow, and his beast of burden a
Russian pony, donkey, or himself,
he is as free and as exclusive as any
other lusty scion of the people who live
under the skies. lshmael he is, and
lshmael he chooses to remain. And the
chances are ten to one that whoever
goes a-fishing for information among
the barrows will come back with an
empty creel or a fine show of fisher
mans tales For your coster knows
both how to keep silence and how to
use his tongue picturesquely in defense
of his jealousy guarded traditions and
the internal economies of his existence.
