and after inviting his two old cronles to drink, he said:
 "Greenhut, I want a business under standin' with you, an l reckon we mousht as well settle it now"
 Sure" said the old man. whats eatn you, Jim?"
 on the game an above the reg lar per- centage we all gifts if I'm goin'. to set in any mo-
 why. how's that, Jim?" asks the old man. "Ain't the boys tolrable well satis- fled with the old arrangement"
 "I can't say about that" said Blaisdeli. '1 ain't speakin' fr the boys I mean 1 am tired O doin' the heft O the work an winnin' the most O the money, an shar- in alike with them that plays second fiddle'
 "Hm," said the old man. "So that's the way you feel about it."
 And Winterbottom, who listened in si- lence, was expecting an outburst. To his great surprise, however, Greenhut con- tinued
 Well Jim, reckon you're right, like you al'ays is. If you be the best player in the crowd you sure ought to have the biggest rake-off The only question is, he you?"
 "Wen, sh'd say there won't no doubt O that" said Blaisdell boastfully. Has any one on 'em been off on the boats an come back with 5000 in months time?'
 NO. they hain't," said Greenhut. They ain't none on em gr't hands to travel. There's no telln' though what they thought ha brung home if they had. You see, you want playin' ag'in Arkansas City talent on the boats, Jim"
 It'd ha' been the same thing said Blasdell loftily.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-12-08
Wanted to See Him HumbIed.


 Well, there ain't nothin' else to look for.' said Mrs. Blaisdell resignedly. He sure has got to be humbled, an if the boys I'll do 1t at poker l c'n tend to the rest part my own self. Only be sure to tell em not to play on his deal"
 That's part of the programme, marm.' said old man Greenhut with chuckle. "an I reckon you c'n be easy. If Jim Blaisdell can play alone az in that bunch he's bettel'n l reckon he is.
 So the good lady departed somewhat cheered, and Greenhut returned to his bar chuckling.
 "There is them," he said to himself, "that don't know how well or they be. I reckon if Jim Blaisdell knowed the real merit O his helpmeet he'd go home an beat her up consid' able.'
 Meantime the game was progressing, and it was from the start furious and ferocious contest. Nothing short of a con- fidence almost sublime in his own ability could have sustained the one man who was pitted against four such players as he knew the others to be, but recent ex- ploits had filled Blaisdell with presump- tion, and he seemed at least to think he could not be beaten.
 The four, however, were not affrighted They knew well that none of them could deal as he did, and, moreover, they knew he would infallibly detect any irregulari- ty on their part, while he could defy de- lection: but they relied on their knowl- edge of the game and on one another.
 stranger might have suspected col fusion among them. for, excepting as against Blaisdell they played each for himself, so that it was less than half an hour before Kenny was put out of the game on Winterbottom's deal.
 He caught pat flush, and as it was his ante and the others all came in, he made 1t $20 to play when it came to him. Bassett and Blaisdell both dropped, but Pearsall raised it $3O and Winterbottom stayed.
 Then Kenny bet S100 and Pearsall raised him $500, whereupon Winterbottom dropped, and Kenny made good.
 On the draw, of course, he stood pat. and bet a white chip, and Pearsall took two cards and showed his pile forward. Kenny called for all he had, and Pearsall showed an ace fuil.
 With Kenny out the deal passed to Bas- sett, but as nobody got cards to play on they made it jackpot and Bldis'ieli took the deck. His stack showed that he was undeniabIy ahead of the game up to this point. but as he had made no killing. such as Pearsall had just achieved, the others felt that he would not wait long before at least attempting one They therefore looked at their cards with more Tban ordinary curiosity.

Suggested a Freeze Out.

"Well, that's easy seen." said Green hut "Supposn' we have a freeze-out in the back room an let as many of the boys in as wants to put up ag'in your pile. Then if you beats em out I'll fix up that rake-off you're talking about. Arkansas City sure don't want to lose you, Blais- dell"
 Calm in the certain knowledge that he was the best manipulator of cards in the Mississippi valley, Blaisdell consented to the proposition, only stipulating that the game should be for blood with no more than the regular house kitty to be taken out and he added that he would put up $500 as his stake in the freeze-out.
 The preliminaries were settled with the others next day and their indignation at Blaisdell's arrogance, together with reasonable confidence in their own skill, induced four of them, Winterbottom, Bas- sett, Sam Pearsall and Pete Kenny, to ae- cept the challenge. Those who were shy of the stipulated amount borrowed from Greenhut, and at nightfall the party as- sembled.
 As the game was about to start a small colored boy entered the saloon and in- formed old man Greenhut with ostenta- tious privacy that lady desired to see him outside, whereupon the old man went out and to his astonishment found Mrs. Blaisdel there, seemingly much excited.
  she asked.
 ''I reckon he is," said the old man, who knew that the lady had no prejudice against the game.
 who's in the game?' was her next question.
 "Only just the local talent" said Green hut
 That's what I was afraid off," ex- claimed the lady with much bitterness. That man has got for to be learned a lesson. It'll sure come hard fr him to lose his money, but there won't be no Twin with him, 'thouten it's did.
 'Is the boys going to be able to do him up?" she asked eagerly.
 Well, marm," said the old man earn estly, they're putin their trust in Prov idence, an they'll do the best they know. The Good Book says Pride goes before destruction, an q hotty sperit afore call an if Jim Blaisdell afnt got hotty sperit an too much pride 'taint no good lookin' fir one t has. l reckon he'll get a call afore mornin"

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRowsIoNs

Chicago, Nov. 2-T'he New York financial sit,,a-
ton turned strong wheat market into a weak af
fair to-day, and at the close wheat for TeceT,bar
delivery was 1ssc lower. Corn was down l.c 10 &C
Oats were lc lower. Provisions were TIC to TIC
lower. '|-'
The wheat market opened firm TODAY. resnond-
ing 10 unexpected strength at Liverpool Later
The New York bank statement was received and
being considered the on record from that cItv
il caused immedi-te and heavy selling of wheat
Prices broke sharply and remained wea; l,ntiI the
close. The rurnor OF the shutting down OF mills
also caused some selling. The fact that some ex-
port business was reported from the East did not
prove an onset to the financial situation. The
close was weak. December opened l4c to ssc
higher at $3.50 to 9614c sold between 93ks to a4Ilc
and s69sc and closed s4l4c. CIearances of wheat
and -four were equal to 265000 bushels Primary re-
Ceipts were 7510o0 bushels against $4,000 bushels
the same day last year. MINNEAPOLIS Duluth
and Chicago reported receipts of 565 cars against
Gil cars last week and 514 cars one year ago
The corn market strong at the opening in
sympathy with wheat and the reports of poor
husking returns Considerable selling of long corn
came out on the advance, and then the break in
wheat and the New York bank statement caused
q sharp decline. Cash houses were free sellers
and the market IN general received poor support
December opened &c to sc TO 6sc 10 &c higher
at 595sc 10 6oc, sold between 6S7sc and 61c and
closed at 59c- Local receipts were 124 cars with
80 Of contract grade.
The oats market opened strong IN sympathy with
wheat and corn. but later the attempt of a promi-
nent long 10 unload. together with the decline in
wheat and corn. broke the market sharply Trade
was in small volume and the range Of prices was
narrow. December oats opened lsc lower ar 4gs,c
sold between 4gsc and soc and closed at SAC the
low point of the day. Local receipts were 107 cars
The provisions market weakened under selling
by packers despite q bullish showing OF statistics
The receipts OF hogs at Western centres were much
less last week than either one week Immediately
preceding or the corresponding week last year
This fact, however did seem to strengthen
prices. January pork closed 17Izc lower Sl4 271.
Lard was down loc to l212c at IS IS TO IS 57l2 Ribs
were 7l2c lower at s. 57I2.
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat 43 cars;
