the same manner. When he opened the game there were a number of ehinks, all wised up to the easy thing, ready to begin playing. The old man never batted an eye, but opened the game as usual. Finally the spotted card came in sight, and there was a big amount of Chinese money dropped on the card which 1t was morally cer- tain would win. The dealer started to turn, when one of the chinks, wildly gesticulating and talking, placed an other bet on the table. This perform ance was repeated several times, and finally all of the money in the posses sion of the Chinamen in the room was on the table surrounding one part1cu- lar card. All ready, boys?" was the query of the dealer, and as all nodded assent the turn was made.
 The Chinamen were too astonished to speak for an instant. The wrong card had turned up. Reaching over, calmly the dealer swept everything on the table onto his side, remarking: Well. boys, you beat me this after noon; I beat you tonight It is just about stand-off"
 The chinks were too game sports to whine; they realized they had been beaten at their own game. The dealer had lost about S30 during the after noon on the one turn he had won about $500, but from that day to this his definition of a 'stand-off" has been a by-word in Helena.

 Little Willie" came here ten years ago gorgeous in a red sweater and cowboy hat. He was a youngster of 20, just out of school, and his splendid physique made him the admiration of sporting men and the idol of women. He had cheerful disposition and could not only sing, but could play tho piano pretty well. He made his head quarters around the old Louvre saloon and variety hall. He was always cheer ful, even when he was busted. It is recorded that his funds ran so low that he even borrowed a postage stamp to write home. A burlesque called "The Society Circus" was put on in the vari- ety house and Little Willie" appeared as the animal tanner.

LAST CHANGE.
Hot Gambling Town When No
 Chance" Games 'Flourished.

From the Anaconda Standard.
 Some of the bunch of old-timers were talking of gambling in the earlier days
 before the legislature got busy and put the ban on many popular games, and then finally stopped the pleasure altogether, or rather passed laws to t.-,. effect. Helena for long time was the banner town of the state in the number and variety of games, especial ly the crooked ones, and i'll one swell house there was every game known to the west in evidence-a man could even get an opportunity to beat him self at a crooked game of solitaire if he wanted the chance. Into this place wandered an unsophisticated Swede one night. He had been chopping wool in the hills and he had a roll "blg enough to choke dog the saying was. There was game running where the victim struck an iron pin with sledge, sending marker along dial indicating the force of the blow Dir ferent weights paid different prices. It tooK 50 cents and lots of assurance to play the machine, and 1t was seldom that it was beaten, as the man be- hind" had foot on lever or brake all of the time and only permitted 1t to win prize occasionally. and then it was generally when capper played. While the Swede was watching the machine and wondering if he could win one of the prizes a dapper little gam bier. fresh from a shot of the dope, came skipping along. tossed the man" a half dollar, grasped the sledge firmly and sent the marker skipping up to the 1000 mark.
 You win s5O," said the man, pass ing over the money.
 By Yiminy, that looks like easy noney," said the Swede. Gimme s5 worth of those punches" and he promptly went to work, but the harder he struck the tighter the brake was shut down, and he could not come within several hundred pounds of the mark set by the little gambler a few minutes before. This made him angry. The idea that little bit of a cuss, weighing half as much as he, could strike so much harder made the Swede wild. and he bought and bought and bought. He soon had every table in the hall dancing from the impact Of the fierce blows Le hammered on the striking machine, and every one in the room was compelled to stop playing while they watched the Swede fiercely belabor that poor machine Finally his breath and money both played out together, and he left the room, hunt ing the little gambler in order to get the secret of his wonderful strength.
 In the same gambling room and dur ing the same season q game called .Iue jay" was much in fashion Blue Jay was played not unlike faro. but a special deck was used. and three or four packs of cards were shuffled up at the same time. Among the players against the game were lot of chinks. One day member of the gentry marked a card, and, as the cards are dealt with their face down. afterwarf being turned up. he had good chance of winning, and he did so. Finally the dealer spotted the marked card and he yawningly closed up the game, remark ing that the boys would have another chance after supper. During the inter- val he carefully removed the marked card and spotted another identically in

Bryan In 1908.

Hon. William J. Bryan, the
greatest Democrat in America,
writes to Hon. w. c. Westmore of
St. Louis, from Egypt, that while
he will not ask the Democratic nomi-
nation in 1908 and does not want
the nomination unless conditions
seem TO demand it, he admits that
the things that he has been fight
ing for are growing" and if the
Democrats consider him the most
available candidate he would not
decline the honor of third nomi-
nation from his party for President.
Bryan was individually the choice
of majority of the American voters
for President in 1896, his defeat
being secured ouly by the expendi-
ture of sic, 200, 900 by the coporate
wealth of the country, through the
Republican Committee, to debauch
the voters in the doubtful states.
We do not believe that the theft of
the Presidency, and with Bryan as
our standard bearer in 1908, the
chances would be in favor of his
election. For one, the Democrat is
willing to follow the leadership of
the peerless Bryan in the next
Presidential ntest.-Greenville
