LOT IiN I Ll-.\ .

Dear Bunch: Say. Bunch, I don't think women have any business pay ing poker, anyway-that is most women.
 There are few cheerful exceptions, of course
 Take Monday evening for example. George Riggaby dealt, and I being next, passed.
 Then we waited while Maude said to Peaches, "Oh! yes, I think bodice trimmed with moire antique and with white chiffon over the cor sage is perfectly stunning, but I want to get house dress of green silk w;th lace insertion-oh, did you see Ms Wilson's new automobile cCat? If she isn't perfect fright; well, I hope-" Pass Pass! Pass!" I yelled. Then Mrs. LorrenZ, Taying no at tention to US, unburdened herself to Peaches: And do you know, our new cook lost one of my handsome silvrr spoons that's been in our family for generations, and didn't dare say any thing to her about it, because she'd leave, and l know what trouble I had last time finding a cook. But a hand some silver spoon--'
 What do you do?" I shrieked at Peaches, who sat next to me.
 What do I do? What do you mean? What do I dol"
 Do you pass, or do you oTen it?' "Ohl I pass. You needn't vel SO, I'm sure. Do you know, Mrs. LoTrenz, the same thing happened to us, only ours was a fork; yes, silver fork, one of set that Aunt Martha gave lis for wedding present, and don't you know, when"
 Then all of a sudden Maude yelled, "Oh, open it. No, I don't-I thought ] had an ace-darnaluck!"
 Whereupon Mrs. Lorrenz laid her hand down and began to count her chips, declaring that a white one was missing.
 After looking over the table and un- der the table and on the mantelpiece and all around the room, she finally found the white chip under the hand she had laid down.
 When peace was restored George Riggaby said, I'll open it for ten!" Whereupon Mrs. Lorrenz screamed, No. you won't. I'll open it for five!'' But you said you passed"
 q didn't!"
 Pardon, me, thought you did!"
 Pardon, me, thought didn't!"
 "Cards?" asked George, resignedly. Cline three" I said.
 Three" said Peaches. No, two no, three-wait a minute! Cline one no, wait; that's a diamond. Give me two-no, no; give me three cards!"
 That's the way with me-" said Maude to Peaches; "I get so confused sometimes. I remember one evening we were all playing over at our house and the baby"
 "Cards?" screamed George.
 Maude gave him whitening glance and Mrs. Lorrenz said, One card please!"
 George gave his mother-in-law thu card took three himself and laid thu deck down.

The court in an opinion by Justice

following on that point the decision Of
the territorial supreme court. It Is
also held that the federal fee bill,
which had been in force during terri
torial days. was inconsistent with and
repugnant to this schedule Of the con-
stitution, and did not remain in force
In the state.
In connection with the matter, 1t
