married in New Orleans.
The woman was about 80 years of age,
and is said to have been very beautiful.
She dressed elegantly, but wore no jew
els-not even wedding ring-which fact
gave rise to many evil conjectures. 1t
was said that Hickman found her the mis-
tress of a notorious gambling resort in
New Orleans, and that she fled with him
in order to avoid the clutches of the law.
This and kindred reports, however, served
only to arouse additional interest in the
gamblers beautiful wife, and the popu-
larity of the row increased proportionate-
w. Men not formerly addicted to gam
bling were led to WOO the hayward god
dess that for time they might bask in
the smiles of the siren who presided over
John Hickman's establishment, and many
were the unfortunates said to have been
lured to financial ruin by the fatal fasci-
nations of her seductive personality.
The Queen of Gamblers Row. as she
was known, eventually numbered Robert
Brashier among her victims. His infat-
uation for the woman led to one of the
blacklist tragedies that ever stained the
, annals of any community.
Despite his confidence in Brashier's
loyalty. Hickman gradually comprehend
ed the drift of affairs. One night, in his
poker room, he openly branded the wo-
man and challenged Brashier to a duel.
Solicitous for the safety of her lover,
Mrs. Hickman suggested cards as
means of adjusting the unfortunate af-
fair Eventually the men sat down to a
game OF poker with $1,000 and the woman
as stakes.
Every other table In the room was de-
serted, and the excited players grouped
themselves about the one at which Hick-
man and Brashier sat
The woman produced fresh pack of
cards and broke the seal. In the cut for
deal Hickman turned up the high card.
Both men shufhed the cards; they were
cut by the woman, and the first hand was
dealt.
Hickman got a pair of kings and opened
for $780, Brashier, with two queens,
stayed and drew two cards, catching a
third queen. Hickman failed to better
his hand and lost the POT.
Thereafter the old gamblers supersti-
ton that the player who wins the first
pot will lose the game prevailed. Brashier

ST. PATRICK'S DAY SMOKER
 AR0USES:A KEEN INTEREST

The unique invitation issued by the Commercial Club for a banquet to be held on the 17th of this month. which day has thhe honor of being dedicated to St. Patrick. has been the subject of much comment.
 Much conjecture Is advanced as to the nature of the mysterious enter tainment to be afforded at the affair. MT. Dave, asked concerning the snakes of sloth and doubt" obligingly explains the prospective nature of the entertainment. in pantomine. Some enterprising citizen with lots of ambi- tIon, more curiosity, and we'll develop ed Sherlock Holmes tendencies yester- day divulged the fact that he had learned after an exhaustive investiga- tion that piana. or a banana, he was not certain which, would play a part in the 'banishment of the snakes"
 In spite of the existing uncertainty regarding the nature of the entertains ment. it can be safely inferred that good time, rare old good time awaits those who will be present on the occasion.

 "Far hack fin my childhood hold nleasant memories of the coffee berry in its natural state. and it's grateful aroma when roasting over the kitchen fire" writes a venerable N. Fl. lady
