COULD SEE NOTHING UNFAIR.
Spectator Understood Game of Poker
as Played in Tin Can.


Henry E. Dixey, the actor, was talk
ing about the terrific fight that oc-
Cured recently on an Atlantic liner
between two fat and elderly poker
players. 1T seems said Mr.. Dixie,
with smile, that the first man lost
$1,000 to the second and paid up. The
second then lost $1,750 to the first, and
refused to pay up. No wonder there
was fight, Ell? If this sort of thing
keeps up, the smoking room morals of
liner will fall as low as the gam
bling-room morals of Tin Can. A ten
deffoot once visited Tin Can and
watched with interest the poker play.
From saloon to saloon he passed.
Everything was wide open, and very
gay and lively, But as he looked on
at poker game that had no limit
the tenderfoot suddenly frowned. He
had seen the dealer slip himself four
aces from the bottom Of the pack.
Gracious powers. whispered the ten
derfoot, excitedly clutching the,sleeve
of the man next to him, did you notice
that?' Notice what?' asked the other.
Why, that scoundrel in the red shirt
just dealt himself four aces The
other looked at the tenderfoot calmly.
Well, wasn't it his dealt? he said.p

steamship line is an important enough link in the transportation system of this coast to entitle it's patrons to the finest ships that float, and to their rightful hand ling and equipment under all cir cumstances and at all times. X < x The old Columbia was a popular carrier in this service sim- ply because she was in the hands of a man who always did his ut most for the safety and comfort of his passengers; but no man, be he ever so wise and affable, can sur- ply every phase of safety, comfort able as he may make his people; his owners must see to that. The P. tS :. F. boats should be built on the lates: and best models with all the agencies for safety, such as col- lision bulkheads, wireless plants and every minor device known to maritime service, no matter what the cost; and an outraged coast public is going to demand a radical change and is going to get it. Tbe vessels that follow the Columbia on this run, have got to possess some inherent quality of modern safety, aside from the mere care taken by their commanders. Div idends aud deaths, as a policy, is about played out, and much is ex- pected of the company byy--way of up-to. date and reliable service.
