WOMEN FOND OF POKER.
Afternoon Sessions" a Feature Of
New York Life.

Afternoon Sessions" a Feature of
New York Life.
Poker is holding its own in New
York in spite of the popularity Of
! bridge, and it is widely played, not
I only by the sterner sex, but by many
OF societys fair danes. There is
scarcely block in the fashionable
parts of New York where there are
not one or more Of these sessions"
held every day in the week. They
take place with great regularity, each
of the seven or eight members of the
game" gazing it in turn; generally
once a week, often more frequently.
The shades are drawn, the lights
are lit, and around a table in the
center of the room are group of
animated women. They do not really
waste their time at mere card play
ing; they can do so many things at
once-the latest society gossip, the
trouble one has with ones servants,
or one may recite dozen lines com.

linen cares and chips are not the
only things on the table. One could
easily imagine oneself in a small mu-
scum. In front of the dear ladies
is a charm, something to bring luck.
1t may be brass penny, horseshoe
picked up in the street on the way to
the game, a button off dear hubby's
coat, an automobile bag that takes up
more than the owners share of room

The limit of these games, varies
greatly, running from 10 cents to 81;
the most popular one being 25 cents,
with ten call twenty ante. Of course,
this is all out of proportion, but
what's the difference?
There is one extraordinary thing
about these gatherings. You offend
them mortaily if you win from them,
but they regard you as a fool if you
lose. And when the game is over,

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Makes Exarnple Of EmbezzIer.

In the County Criminal Court at
Mays Landing J. Leon Albertson, of
Atlantic City, indicted upon the
charge of Incorporating over
$4,000, pleaded guilty, threw him
self upon the mercy of the Court and
was sentenced to two years at hard
labor in State Prison. Albertson was
employed in tho office of the Atlantic
City Gas and Water Company, and
was looked upon as a trusted officer.
For nearly six years his conduct was
above reproach and his books were
in perfect condition. Later the COM
pany began to mistrust Albertson,
owing to his high life, and during his
absence from the city on vacation
his books were examined, revealing
the shortage. Judge Higbee, in pass
ing sentence, remarked that sympa-
thy appealed in the case so far as
the prisoners wife was concerned;
but that men trusted in positions
should be honest, and, as a warning
to others in like positions, he would
have to make an example.

What We Owe to insects.

Professor Darwin said that if it
had not been for insects we should
never have had any more imposing
or attractive flowers than those of
the elm, the hop and the nettle. Lord
Avebury compares the work of the
insect to that of the florist. He con-
siders that just as the florist has by
selection produced the elegant blos-
SONS of the garden, so the insects, by
selecting the largest and brightest
blossoms for fertilization, have pro-
duced the gay flowers of the field.
Professor Plateau, of Client, has car
ried out a series of remarkable ex-
periments on the ways of insects Wis
iting flowers. He considers that they
are guided by scent rather than by
color, and in this connection he is at
variance with certain British natural
lists. Whatever may be the attrac-
ton in flowers to insects-as yet it
appears undefined-it is certain that
the latter visit freely all blossoms
alike, making no distinction between
the large, bright colored ones and the
less conspicuous bloom, like those Of
the currants, the lime, the planetree,
the nettle and the willow. Dundee

/ The poets wish for manly indie
pendence" finds an earnest response
in nearly every human breast, AYERS
the Philadelphia Ledger. The indie
'pendence to which he referred was
competence or wealth which gives so
many kinds of freedom. Myriads
feel that from the "sad vicissitude of
things" they are but slaves of cir
cumstance," doomed to toll for mere
existence, and constantly deprived
of the broad liberty which captivates
every imagination-the liberty to do
as one pleases. 1t is, no doubt, very
delightful to be at liberty and free,
but there are great many people
who misconstrue the limits of posi-
bile independence, and imagine that
they could be positively Indifferent to
the attitude of their fellow-men.
Many thoughtless people of means
really believe that they are independ-
ent, but independence for the indi-
yidual in civilized country is only
a relative term, and it's limits are
very strictly and narrowly circum-
scribed at best

In the campaign against "the
wealthy criminal classes" the West
still leads, admits the New York
Press. Following Ohio, where Ice
Trust directors have really been put
in jail and Standard Oil conspirators
have been started in that direction,
comes now Nebraska. Samuel q.
Howell, president of the Omaha Coal
Trust, has been sentenced to serve
six months in jail. Judge Sutton
said in passing the sentence that but
for money and good lawyers Howell
would have been in jail long ago,
where he belonged. Also that How
ell was mo better than a common
highwayman who put revolver to a
mans face and made him give up his
money Newspapers have BEEN
printing sentiments like this for years
with regard to trust criminals. Amer
lean citizens by the millions have
been saying them in fearless fashion.
But they do not count until public
prosecutors begin to act on them,
until juries approve them and until
they are Numbered from the bench.

Pure food laws and other .egisl

Pure food laws and other .egisla-
ton in the interests of honestly made
goods that really are what they pro-
fess to be, are doing much to protect
people from injurious products, and
the dealer who sells the latter for
the sake of the larger profit will have
to pay the penalty, announces the
Indianapolis News. The manufac-
ture or sale of impure food products
is a perilous proceeding, now that
the people of the country have be-
come aroused to recognition of the
danger to health and life that turks
in them, and Congress and the State
Legislatures have enacted laws pro-
yiding for strict examination of such
articles and the punishment of those
who deal in them. The legal brand
of wholesomeness has become the
safeguard of the purchaser.

Fire Ruins a Mine Of wealth..

The statement that if searched the
Rothschild cottage fire ruins, at Long
Branch, would undoubtedly prove a
mine OF wealth, confirmed by the
finding of several thousand dollars
worth OF jewelry by Fireman Charles
Nelson, caused Superintendent Kier-
nan, of a detective association, to
begin digging and sitting the ruins.
Fifteen men were put to work under
guard of eight uniformed men. 1t is
believed that $4,000 would fail to
cover the value of the jewels lost.
The long list of articles includes a
pearl necklace and diamond
brooch. Mrs. Schiller and her son
Jack are at the Liebman cottage,
on Ocean avenue.

$1co, 900 to Beauty Lawmakers.

More than 100000 was spent IL
legally by the Legislatures at Tren-

and thousands of dollars of State
money Went for tooth brushes, nail
brushes, combs, feather busters, snow

other articles included in the So
called legislative supplies, but few of
which, 1t is said, ever were used for

facts were revealed at the final ses-
sion of the Hahn Investigating Com
mittee, which has been probing into

Brains of Great Men.

Brains of great men vary very
much. 1t is found that men of en-
cyclopedic mind have large and
heavy brains--Gladston had to wear
very big hat with an enormous bed

volutions; on the other hand, men
whose genius is concentrated upon
one line Of thought are Of small brain

The fact that to encourage the
birds is to discourage the insects is
too little appreciated, in the opinion
of the New Haven Register. Prob
ably we wouldn't have any trees of
any sort if the feathered extermina-
tors didn't pursue the insects day and
night. It is time their help was ap-
preciated, and the helpers encouraged
instead of hunted to the death. The
protection of education and law can
not be too strongly thrown about the
birds.

Canada is making rapid progress
in the construction of her railways,
there being, according to the latest
statistics issued, 21,280 miles of line
open for traffic at the end of 1905,
where as ten years previously tho
mileage was 1897, and in 1855
only 1918. In the year 1905 alone
1866 miles were added, much of the
material for which was imported
from Great Britain The value Of
the railway material imported into

Horseshoe Contest in Kansas.

Amid great excitement and large
crowd made up of Representatives of
half the rural part of Johnson Coun-
ty, Kan, the horseshoe pitching
championship of the county was de-
cided at Merriam, fifteen miles north
of Kansas City. The team of STAN
ley, Kan, defeated Merriam's pride.
The game had been the sole talk of
the blacksmith shops, the barber
shops and the general stores of half
the villages of the county for weeks.
1t is estimated that twenty oxen,
fifty head of cattle and eighteen
horses changed hands as the result
of the contest.
