There is a slender, se- date, dignifed gentleman who bears a polite professional name, but is a gentle man of leisure and much property. Now, he is sucha successful poker player that even professionals have been known to and qait the game His long suit is bluffing. and yet he is sharp with that It is hard to hold him in, even after he has made a bluff with a roll of bills
 ''In the game I speak of, he met his match in new member of the green cloth profession who had been posted 'Snake.' as he was known, was a long, lean, lank fellow, with a neck like a giraffe, and he wore high standing col lar which emphasized his peculiarity. One night 'D. sat in the game with Snake and others, and he would thrust out roll of bills with rubber band around them and take the pot. Snake had a s5o0 bill which he folded to about the size of a postage stamp and slipped it under his stack of chips. We'll, in due time 'D.' made the usual-pass, and threw the roll out; Snake threw his $500 bill out quick as flash and called that much of the roll The rubber was taken off by the house man and large and small bills counted $430. which Snake of course took The rubber was on the table, and 'D.' said, I suppose I get that No said Snake the rubber goes too,' and he placed 1t around the roll wrapped in the $500 bill"

Atlanta has a. fiourishing Vir- ginia soceity. and in large cites Ike New York and Chicago the Virginia dinner is a notable feature of social life.
 ''If such a society should be organized here 1t would doubtless fix Lees birth day as the time for the annual dinner. Nothing could be more fitting"
