sid able chummy, an a stranger in town,
name o. Hubbard, I nobody knowed. he
hung round most o. the time, an got to
have a drinlin' acquaintance with most On
'em.
Then, one night when was beginnin to
think mebbe Gabe hadn't made connec-
lions. there come bunch of 'em into my
place. There was Gabe an Dick Tinker.
an Hubbard. an two young spots t 1
knowed rr high rollers. They were named
Peyton. an spotswood. an they was both
good fr all they'd play for.
They lined up ag'in the bar, an alter a
couple o. drinks. Gabe says, We was
thinkin' o. havin game o. poker up to
the hotel, but l reckon we'd as soon play
here. Z you've got the conveniences. So l
tells fem to go In the back room an make
themselfs comrtable.
"Td been thinhin some consld able my
own self, them few days, an 1 reckoned
didn't want to be in that back room too
much, but all the same l was some inter-
ested, an fixed up little slide where
could see tolable well 'thouten butin' in
when / want called.
First thing seen was Z Gabe's foot lay
right longside o Hubbard's, SOS I they
touched. An there wasn't no time t l
was lookin when them two feet was any
other way So l knowed there wouldn't
be no doubt with either on EN- as 20 what
t'other one had. no matter who dealt.
Then / seen Z they was playin' no
limit. They'd each bought a hundred in
chips. but that 'peared TO be on'y for
small change.
First one'd go to his pocket, an then
another, an they was bettin' hundred al
once, like It was chicken feed, 30 l seen
there was liable for to be a KILN, an II
Hubbard was night as good a man az
Gabe, Tinker an his pals was liable for to
get hurried some.
Nigh as / cd tell, there want nc
crooked dealin' Gabe was al'ays called
cautious. an reckon he didn't feel called
on to take no chances bein' as he knowec
the brand o. cards they was usin' an had
Hubbard along fr moral support. Anyhow
there didn't pear TO be no trouble about
him KNOWN when 10 play.
THE first big pot l seen took was on
Spotswood's deal. II were q jack pot o
] $50. an Peyton opened 1t under the guns
for the size OF II.
, Hubbard trailed an Tinker boosted Il
400 Gabe looked mighty dubusome bu
, he came in, an Spotswood dropped. Pey
! ton came back with another hundred
havin three queens, as we seen later, bu
! Hubbard says very dry:
D " set in a bad place 10 raise afore. bu
this here hand is wuth more money an
he raised IL 500.
Tibet set Tinker studyin', but he wer,
that sort OF a man as don't fgger on get

pairs. II was monst'ous bad poker, but h

all right, an he put in his money indin rent.
That brought II back to Payton, an he
reckoned his three queens good for the
raise, so he trailed.
ION the draw he took two cards an Hub
bard took one Tinker took the next one
an Gabe set close. Payton bet white
chip afore looxin' an Hubbard bet thou
sand,
Tinker didn't better an he folded, but
Gebe made 1t $1,000 an Paytoh looked az
his cards He had a small pair 20 his
queens all right, an II he hadn't been a
first class player he'd ha boosted, but there
was one card draw alongside of him, an
he just made good
Then Hubbard bet another thousand, an
Gabe a thousand more'n him, an Payton
lay down. That give Hubbard the once,
an he dropped so Gabe took the pot with
out shown his hand.
Just nachully Payton was sore, bein'
as Hubbard was the man he was sReered
Of an not Gabe, but he was a spot and
, he didn't say nothin.
''They was shuffin' the cards for the next
deal when happened TO look round an

give him a game o. talk. He was mighty
quiet, but cd see It In his eye when he

so 'twa'n't no use lynn.
when l told him Dick was in the back

selves do not strop their blades oftener
than once a week. This is ruinous to the
edge, for, being constructed like saw,
the soap and fine particles Of hair clog up
the teeth and not only hinder the razor
from doing it's work properly but also rust
the edge.
The proper way to shave is to use side
WISE slanting, saving motion. There is
less difnculty in the cutting in this way
and practically no pull" unless the razor
is in extremely bad condition. The man
who learned to shave by himself will inva-
riably pick UP a razor and pull directly and
forcibly down his cheek. The man who
has learned from one who knows uses the
saving motion and saves much time and
trouble. as we'll as his skin.
The stropping OF a razor is more import
ant than most men consider 1t. On the
stropping depends directly the health and
longevity OF the tool. Most men know the
stropping notion the only fault is that
they do not employ their knowledge often
enough.
The honing OF the blade Is of the highest
Importance. Nine-tenths OF the self-shav-
ers hone their razors themselves and nine
|tenths Of these hone them the wrong way.
Even the majority OF BARRIERS, who are
1
laborious and unsatisfactory method Of
honing.. They draw the razor across the
hone with the edge, the proper way is to
draw 1t against the edge and thus save
time, by getting the greatest cutting force
from the tool.
Here are the proper directions for honing
q razor:
To bring a dull razor TO an edge, dip
light side Of rub stone IN cold water do not
use hot water), rub on hone until you ere
ate thin lather; lay razor perfectly nat
so that both back and edge touch the hone;
draw razor across the hone from heel 10
point against the edge; hone In this way
until your razor Is sharp. Test razor on
thumb nail; II IL adheres from heel 20 point
then you have an edge. Honing after
these directions It is impossible TO get a
wire edge" which happens TO almost
every amateur.--Nsw York Herald.

HARD KNOCK FOR GRIP
Discovery in Medicine NJ co.,
Value IL 1t Proves the
Real Thing.

A writer In the Medical Record ne rah-
ruary 2 has announced that both a nro-
phylactic remedy and practically a speelho
for almost every STEP stage and variety
OF la grippe, when free from serious com
plications," are now a part of the medical
armament The specific is gelsemium, the
tncture Of the fresh root. The fresh
plant tincture only is endowed with medici-
nal virtue, the ordinary fluid preparations
OF the dry root being quite valueless in
cases of influenza The plant is highly
poisonous and the disease requires careful
dosage. which must be reduced as the pa
tient improves. or course. any attempt at
self-edministration OF this drug would be
! criminal folly. The important fact 10 the
lay mind Is that a specific exists, and that
It may be successfully administered by a
competent physician.
Immunity TO patients who have previ,
ously suffered from repeated attacks Of
influenza is given by a like cautious treat
ment with arsenic as a prophylactic. Some
! times the dosage OF this powerful agent
must be suspended at intervals, for not q
few patients become more sensitive to
| its action than to the disease; but II rarely
falls and It conquers the miasm In more
than 81 per cent of the cases
Epidemic influenza, says the writer 10
the Medical Record, invaded the United
States ''in a pestilential wave from the
overlooked banks of the filthy Neva and
other open sewers in Russia" That must
have been long time ago. In the days
OF President Jackson and hts opponent
Tyler, the infectious catarrh was known
as "Jaekson's itch" and the Tyler grip"
by their respective partisans The Rus
SLAMS call II Chinese catarrh. the Germans
name Il the Russian pest the Italians re-
| fer its origin TO Germany, and In France
II is known as the Italian fever and the
Spanish eatarrh, The name Influenza"
comes from Italy. Doubtless we shall be
afflicted with the epidemic so long as i'm
migrants continue TO pour In from Euro
pean countries, or until our public sani-
tation shall be perfected. Meanwhile Il

PROPER CARE OF RAZOR
Useful Tips for the Millions who
Insist on Shaving Them
selves.

1t has been estimated that nine-tenths OF
the people In the United States shave
themselves. and It is safe TO say that nine
tenths of these shavers hone, strop and
care for their own razors.
A common razor costs from 30 cents to 50
and lasts a lifetime. even a century. II used
well. But most men use their raEors worse
than their carving knives.
II is not generally known that razor
works on the same principle as a saw.
Under a magnifying glass the edge OF a
razor is found 10 be made up OF little teeth.
Irregular and hne. -f
When a man is through shaving, espe-
