THE HOUSE OF SEVEN GABLES
Brooklyn Daily Eagle.

Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
Visitors to Salem. intent upon trac-
ing the various stages Of Hawthorne's
residence in that beautiful little city.
will recall an unattractive wooden
house surrounded by a tall. yellow
fence, overshadowed by elns and fac
ing the water at the end Of an unpre-
possessing street. This is called the
House of Seven Gables. 1t has been
maintained partly as q show place. but
will, according to report, be converted
into settlement home by a recent
purchaser. -
tradition says that 1t once had seven
gables. II so they disappeared
even before Hawthorne's day. The
only relation that 1t has to the story
of the same name is that Hawthorne,
being told that the house once had
seven gables. saw In that architectural
peculiarly a possible title for flu
ture romance. 1t requires very Vivid
ina gination to identify the house as II
stands today with the house that the
novelist described In his tale of hered-
itary evil. Nevertheless. 1t has long
been a place Of pilgrimage for the Gu
rious and the devout, many OF whom
refuse TO be convinced that 1t has not
direct and intimate relation TO the
events set forth in the book. Few So
called literary landmarks in America
have so little claim TO distinction as
this house. yet few have received so
much attention from the public.

mistake or the slightest bit of carelessness
many wrecks have occurred and hundreds

the watchfulness Of the tower signal man

wrecks and he has saved the lives of hum

The travelling public gives but very little

The orisin Of Poker.

w aSnlnBtOn Herald.
John B. Barber, OF New Orleans.
speaking of the game Of poker said
that while most men will testify to the
fact that few know very much about
the great American game of poker,
even the experts viii admit they are
ignorant of the origin Of the game.
"All the evidence about poker which
has come to light, however, points to
its origin in New Orleans" continued
Mr.. Barber. The question Is where
did New Orleans get 1t from or Is il
an improvement on some game known
to the population Of that city, who, II
must be remembered. were French and
used French terms in any games that
they played?
There is no French game played
with only twenty cards as poker was
played at New Orleans in 1893. but
there are several French games in
which all the poker hands are to be
found except four of a kind. AmbiKn,
Breland and many others will at once
suggest themselves. But all these
French games are played with three
cards only In the hand OF each player
Where could the inventor of poker
have found a game played with hVe
cards in each hand. and the pack con.
sisting of twenty-five cards only?

because the plain inference from his
language is that he does not believe

he did not mean 1t that way he was
unfortunate in the use OF language.
and IL he did mean it. it was an un,

engaged In any sort OF business Ger

business in a dishonest way, but Just
