An Object Lesson.

A card sharp who is known to the
stewards of the great ocean liners as
the professional gamblers are known
to the Tenderloin detectives was a pas
senger on ship which arrived here
last week. He received a line at
Queenstown which had the effect of
keeping him out of the large games
in the smoking room. He contented
himself with pinocle and bridge at 20
cents a hundred points. On the even
ing before landing. one of his bridge
party, none of whom knew that he was
a professional with bad record, pro-
posed changing the game TO poker.
IT'S bad practice" said the card
sharp. ito play poker with strangers.
There too much risk, but it's ali right
in this case
The others said there was no risk
IL man had good sense and kept hi9
eyes open The deal fell to the PROF.
fessional, and when cards had been
drawn by each man, he said:
Now I'll show you how much you
know. Mr. A. you have the winning
hand; Mr.. B, your three queens look
good. but what show have they against
Mr.. C..s four fives? And what good
are they against AS four kings? Does
it tally?"
It did. and A said, "well, It's my
pot"
II was afraid that might happen, so
dealt byself straight flush" He
showed 1t, arose from his chair and
said:i
'Give the steward what put IN.
This was an object lesson-don't play
poker with strangers"

The Sign.

During the recent epidemic OF scar
let fever, diphtheria. and other con-
tagious diseases prevalent among the
Juveniles OF Chicago the teachers OF
the public schools have been oblfgeu
to be exceedingly yigilant, sending
home children whose homes had been
visited by any Of these disorders.
In one Of the lower grades little
girl appeared after a few days absence
and some Of the other children, aware
OF the rule, Informed teacher" that
some Of Annie's folks had diphtheria.
Annie. being called UP and questioned
upon the subject, denied the charge.
Anyway, there's a white sign on
the house." said the informer.
Annie admitted that there was a
white sign op the house, but still in
sisted that they had not been afflicted
with the disease of which the white
sign was symbol,
The teacher, after consulting with
some Of her follow workers, decided to
send the child home and run no risks.
A few days aftenward, being In the
neighborhood where Annie lived, she
concluded to so to the house and make
.tassurance doubly sure" True enough
the dwelling was decorated with
white sign. but it bore the Inscription,
For Rent"
Annie was allowed to re-enter school.

SIX SLAIN, SIX INJURED
Attempt to Assault White Woman
Leads to Lynchina.

Leads to lynching.
Reidsville, Ga, May 22.-Two ne
groes. a man and his mother. were
lynched, four other persons were killed,
and six injured because Elem Padget, a
negro. attempted Monday night to as
sault Mrs. Laura Moore, white, a wild
ow living near here.
News of the attempted assault
aroused the citizens, who Immediately
went to the home of the negroes father,
He told the crowd that his son was not
within the house and invited the posse
to search 1t.
AS the white men approached the
house Elem Padget fired on the crowd,
killing white man named Hare and
wounding four others. The crowd fired
a vol1ey into the house, killing the old
negro Padget and two of his daughters
and wounding two Of his sons, one Of
whom was Elem Padget
After the cooler heads had left the
scene Of the killing. the hot-headed ele-
ment employed a young man to take
Padget's wife and one of the Padget
boys. who was shot thru the lungs, to
Reidsviile Jail, but later the party fol-
lowed, took the prisoners from the
young man and riddled them with buck
shot.
It is said that a crowd of about 800
started for Reidsville to force the Jail
and lynch the other Padget boy, who
had been taken there by the deputy
sheriff.
81 It is. not believed this will be ac-t
scomplisiled. as Reidsville has q sub
stantial jail.
Those involved in the affair are In
fiuential citizens. Further trouble is
feared.

One feature of the gathering will be
