HAPPENING THAT SPOILED Mr..
JONES ENJOYMENT.
Wifey's Little Mistake in Fcke: ">-s
Enriched Visitor, Eut Host Said
Nothing, at Least Net
Just T aen.

The Joneses, Mr.. and Mrs, went
over to spend the evening with the
Colts the other evening, bcoal- ..co'
pie get tired of staying at home a tie
time and just listening to each other
palaver.
BY and by Mr.. Goitt suggested that
they all draw up around Mrs. Got
little sewing table and have a rsce
friendly game of poker for an hour
or so.
Everybody wanted to show that ne
or she was a sure enough sport, all
idea at the beginning Of a poker game
that just as like as not he can make
the evening profitable as we'll as mere
ly pleasant.
Mrs. Goitt and Mrs. Jones were
about ever in their working knowl-
edge of the great national game, and
the men folks therefore backed them
up cheerfully, assuming that they
would break about e
After a half hour or SO Of play the
visitors took the lead, as the sport
ing editor might say. 1t was only a
penny ante, five-cert limit game. but
then people have been known to clean
ND a frstrate little bunch of pin
money in even such a juvenile game
as that, and Jones already had his
chips stacked up into four cute little
cylinders in front Of him. Mrs. Jones
would reach over and borrow ten
chips or so now and again, and a
momentary frown would fit owe her
husbands brow, but he didn't say any
thing.
BY and by Jones took notice of the
fact that Mrs. Jones was reaching
Over into his sub-treasury vaults and
picking up chips half a stack at a time
and putting them into the pot as fast
as she could meet Mr.. Colts bets and
raise him back again.
Mr.. Jones looked at her when he
saw his hoard of chips disappearing, in
a way that inquired plainly: Are you
sure you've got it on him?" !,
Got a straight" whispered Mrs.
Jones when she found opportunity to
WHISPER without beng observed, and
Jones gave her, 'lock that said, GO
as far as you Ike for straShts had
been rretty good that evening, and
the pot, after the way it hal been
sweetened, looked worth while.
Finally Mr.. Goitt called her. "All
I've got is three ladies'" he said in a
tone of polite inquiry, laying down his
hand.
Wei. ! have a straight" gurgled
Mrs. Jones. ~'See-quccn, king, ace.
deuce, tray!"
Mr.. jones gave her a look that told
her something was amiss before any
body had time TO say a word.
"Wny the ace m after the king,
doesn't it," she inquired. And
doesn't the two-spot come after the
ace. and the three-spot after the two
spot? Id just like to know why that
isn't a straight"
Mr.. Jones watched Mr.. Goitt rake in
the pot and didn't say anyding-not
just then.

The famous coup d'etat by which
Napoleon III. gained control of France
is wildly described in the Memoirs
of Monsieur Claude published by

gives the following: Comte De Nor

Origin Of "D'oyIeyr Linen.

Few know the origin Of the word
d'Oyley. In the reign OF William l..
Robert doyiey. a Norman knight, was
granted an estate at Hook-Norton.
which he held on the condition that on
very feast OF st. Michael he rendered
the king a linen tablecloth valued
y three shillings. The ladies' Of the
tVyiey household embroidered these
Ne cloths. which were exclusively
useo % the royal table. and as they
we're very beautifully worked on the
s1nest Of linen they were called
-GOyley linen." and &c nowadays the
onme dOyley Is applied as then for
1ne linen cloths.
