knowing that he had intended giving
the German a swell phony pat hand
for the skinning. But he got a kick
on the leg and a signal from the dealer
after jake had made his bet. and he
boosted it along a hundred. The same
signal answered for the other two, and
they were there with hundred boosts,
too.
The dealer took everything into con-
sheraton. and the experience of life
time told him that it was impossible
for Jake. with his three-card draw. to
have four tens beat. So he raised it
$500.
Jake just called all of the raises,
and so did the others, just to give the
game the proper tone, so to say, for il

when Jake called the dealer himself

ABOVE GROUND AT LAST.

After an imprisonment OF nearly
seven weeks in the GirouX mine at Ely,
Nevada, three miners, A. D Bailey, P
7. Brown and Frederick Mcdonald,
have been rescued. All of the men when
brought to the surface were well and
in excellent spirits. Their escape from
death by suffocation, starvation OF
thirst constitutes one of the most re-
markable incidents i'm all the history OF
underground mining. There is no rec
ord of rescue after anything like as
long a period of confinement. The men
NAV count themselves life most fortu-
nate miners that ever descended a
shaft.
They owe their escape from death to
the fact that when the Alpha shaft
near which they were working, caved in
for the greater part of its LOCO feet, d
six-inch pipe that had been used for
conveying air into the mine for the
compressor drills was not broken. The
pipe proved the salvation of the en-
tombed men. Through it. provisions Of
all kinds and water were sent down 10
them. When it became apparent that
they would be confined for an indefinite
period cots and blankets were sent
down in sections, so were newspapers
and magazines and books, playing cards
and every other device by which they
might while away their time.
\ telephone wire was constructed so
that they could instantly communicate
with friends on the surface, and they
lighted their prison by electricity. So
the miners suffered no real hardship,
although the above ground worker
would not have regarded anything as
paIliation for imprisonment thousand
feet from daylight, with millions upon
millions of tons of earth and rock above
him. The average man, we repeat,
would have become obsessed with the
notion that the earth would cave in
upon him and the fear might have 50
preyed on his mind that he would have
gone mad.
1t was part of the. days work with the
miners. They were accustomed 10
spending a considerable part Of every
working day beneath the surface. 1t
meant no more to them than a trip to
The office means to the average profess
sional or business man. They did not
believe themselves to be in any special
danger and they were content to sir
down and wait philos0phicaliy until
their rescuers reached them.
The real heroes are the men who
worked TO open the shaft, and their
names do not appear in the dispatches.
These men worked in the face of appall-
= ing danger, worked until their very
bones ached. then snatched few hours
Of rest and went to work again. They
risked their lives every moment they
remained in the shaft, risked them
cheerfully for the sake of the friends
below. II, in its joy over the rescue,
Ely proposes TO erect a monument, it
should not be to the men who were
saved. but 10 the heroes who saved
them.

AGE OF THE GRIP

a good many people who have been
laboring under the impression that the
grip is a modern disease will be sur
prised TO learn that there is nothing
new about it. In fact the disease was
known considerably more than cen
fury ago. as is shown by letter writ
ten by a traveller in 1916. OF an cpl
demic of the disease he encountered
while travelling in Europe he writes:
IN passing through the Kingdom
(France) it has obtained the name of
grippe'-a term significant enough
from the nature of its attack on the
throat" The poet, Campbell, in 1903,
makes mention of the fact that it was
at that time fashionable in England to
refer to influenza as ia grippe" Some
authorities declare that the name was
first used in France in 1722. And in
1S47 one friend wrote to another from
Paris. "Of the 900 inhabitants of
this city S99 ,999 have the grip" which
was going some, even for an epidemic.
1t is said that the only citizen of Paris
who didn't have the grip was Louis
Philippe, and his immunity was ex-
planned on that ground that he had
''all sorts of good luck"
La grippe" as most of you will re-
member, was the fashionable way of
describing the epidemic that visited this
country something like fifteen or TWEEN
ty years ago. You will remember, also,
how you laughed at the ignorant people
who spoke of the la grippe" Now
the word has been modernized until it
is simply grip" And how it does
grip one. to be sure. That last name is
the best of all, because it is within the
reach of every understanding. 1t grips
every part of your body. Not muscle
nor a bone is immune from its attacks
And one of the worst features of the
disease is its depressing influence.
The victim of real attack of grip
feels that life is not worth living, after
the microbe has thoroughly infested his
system. He is like the seasick passen-
ger who is first afraid he is going to
die and then afraid that he win not die
The grip is a much more serious matter
than many people SVEN to imagine.
When you feel it coming on the best
thing to do is to go to bed and stay
there until you are well again. If you
attempt to keep on with your work
the grip is more than apt to develop
into case of pneumonia, and it is not
necessary to call attention to the SER
iousness of that disease.
There is a good deal of grip in Salt
Lake City just now, perhaps more than
usual at this time of the year, though
this is the grip season." Every pre-
caution against it should be taken. The
best precaution is plenty of fresh air.
Avoid drafts. keep your feet dry and
warm, stay away from crowds as much
as possible, unless you know your
crowd These precautions, if faithfully
followed, may not prevent you from
having the grip. but they will make
your susceptibility to it far less.

Tom Marshall who leaves in few
days for Washington, where he will
remain until the close Of the last
session Of congress, has defnately
announced that he will not allow his
name to so before the state legisla-
ture as a candidate for the UNITED
States senate. Before the November
election Mr.. Marshall pledged himself
10 abide by the result OF the election
and the announcement recently made
by him proves that he intends to
keep his pledge. It is indeed a pleas
ure to find a man in politics who
will stand by his statements. Should
Mr.. Marshall allow his name to come
ups as a.candidate he would without
doubt receive number of the votes,
but by his keeping his ppledge and
staying out of the race he will make
many friends who will be more ready
to support him in the future should
he be a candidate for any Office. This
leaves the race practically to M. N.
Johnson and Hansbrough.
