Chinese Could Teach Profession
ais a Few.

When it m TO economical
gambling, the four orientals now
locked in the county Jail, could
probably teach some OF the local
professionals a few. These four
Chinese have seventy-hve cents
between them and have been play
ing poker Tor the same money tor
the past four months. The secret
lies in the fact that they don't al
low outsiders to beat them u OF
it.
That seventy-hve cents has paid
a multitude o. debts. One OF the
Cinnamon has already won it
enough times to pay his thousand
dollar bond. Each time he wins
he lends it out again to the others
on interest. He is strictly an Am
erican financier at heart. He has
the system. Before long he will
have earned that same money
enough times to pay the bonds OF
all four OF them. This is consid-
cred quite a stunt and is a plan
generally practiced more or less
everywhere.
There is only one thing to keep
those fellows from paying four
thousand dollars in bonds with
twenty-five cents. That $ a
panic. II this comes they will all
20 to the wall and have to start
over again. This is what causes
panics people try to pay too much
on seventy-hve cents. Panics
never occur in Tucumcari, unless
it does happen to be a Jail panic.

How the Girls Taught the Boys a
Lesson

Some little boys OF this city were
taught a lesson last Saturday
which they may long remember
and some little girls did the teach
ing. Now little boys, like big
bows, sometimes try to act funny
with the girls; but little girls, like
big girls, generally turn the tables
on them and make them beg tor
pie.
IL all came about last Saturday
when some little boys tried to raw
fish out OF taking the girls on a
trip to the mountain. When time
came for the wagon TO come around
to get the girls the wagon didn't
come and the BOYS remained scarce.
The little girls got a wagon and
went to the mountain any way.
Later the boys came up walking,
the girls say thew walked for rea.
sons OF their own. When the boys
came up the girls wouldn't speak
to them and didn't offer them a bit
OF pie and cake. The boys tried
to make out like they didn't care
but the girls knew better and then
the boys wished they were some
place else.
Boys who get funny with girls
always wish that before the girls
get through with them. Boys who
like cake and pie should learn TO
stand in with the girls and not
promise to take them anywhere
and then try to yet out OF it. Girls
like bows who take them to the
mountain and places, and always
give them pie and things.
