Following recent dinner TO John
Fitz at the Manufacturers Club sey-
eral of the steel men went to the
Bellevue Stratford for brief chat.
The talk veered to the stolidness OF
the Scotchman who, in spite of every
suggestion, will not change after once
deciding. To illustrate this point,
Charles NJ. Schwab, who is one of the
best story teilers, told the following:
sAngus McTayish was a lowlander
wealthy and thoroughly Scotch, and
had never seen the highlands or the
beautiful lakes OF Scotland except
from long distance. He paid visit
to America and in New York, owing
to his prominence, was shown all the
sights.
WAS he impressed? He was not,
and still thought the lowlands OF Scot
land far superior.
AS final chance to show Angus
something that would impress him,
the committee took hi to Niagara Falls
Angus looked at them critically, and
when asked if he didn't think them
the most marvellous thing he had ever
seen, remarked:
Aye, mon. They are grand. But

JOHN OoOLlN is COMMENDED
State Officials Should be Satisfied to
Allow Honors Distributed.

Allow Honors Distributed.
The announcement made in the Ok
lahoman that John Doolin, State Game
Warden, would not be a candidate for
Democratic National Committeeman
has caused considerable comment
among the democrats of this portion
of the state, and without an exception
they warmly commend Mr.. Doolin for
the stand he has taken. The office of
national committeeman is purely an
honorary office and the people be-
lieve that those who have been elect
ed to office or appointed TO office
should not ask for it. When the Of
flee holders of the state be gin to grab
all offices the people become dis.
satisfied and it is better for party har.
mony to distribute the offices among
as many people as possible. John
Doolin's fairness is appreciated here
and it will be appreciated III every
section of the state. Should he be a
candidate, naturally the departments
OF state government would be for him
and it would cause embarrassment
from many sections. Those who are
connected with the state government
who have expressed themselves on
the matter are OF the opinion that
the office of national committeeman
should go to some other besides state
officials.

significant looks with the case-keeper and
faltered for an instant as he showed the
cards together. He was not sure that he had
shuffied them right, and an anxious look
came into his eyes as he realized that the
deal must go on. 1t was far from reassur-
ing to set out to cheat man so well known
for expert short-gun work as the Bar2o
puncher and he wished he could be relieved,
There was no other dealer around at that
time of the day and he had TO 60 through
with it. He did not dare to shuttle again
and chance losing the card beyond hope,
and for the reason that the player was
watching him like hawk.
A ten lay face up on the deck and Hop
along, tallying against it on his sheet, began
to play small sums. Luck was variable and
remained so until the first twenty dollar bet
when he reached out excitedly and raked in
his winnings, his coat sleeve at the same
time brushing the cue-card OIL the table.
But he had forgotten all about the tally
sheet in his eagerness to win and played
several more cards before he noticed it was
missing and sought for it. Smothering a
curse he glanced at the case-keepcr's tally
and went on with the play. He did not see
the look of relief that showed momentarily
on the faces Of the dealer and his associates,
but he guessed it.
He had no use for cue-cards when he felt
like doing without them; he liked to see
them in use by the players because il showed
the game to be more or less straight, and il
also saved him from over-heating his mem
ory. When he had brushed his tally sheet

and he knew every card that had been
drawn out OF the box. So far he had seen nc
signs OF cheating and he wished to give the
dealer chance. There should now remain
in the deal box three cards, deuce, five and
four, with a Queen in sight as the last win
ner He knew this to be true because he hao

cards as they showed in the deal box, anc

have to bother about them. As nc had lost
three times on four he now believed it wa.
due to win.

which worried him little. He always liked
to have possible danger where he could keep
an eye on it. Perhaps they were eating or
drinking thought stirred him again to
anger: two dollars would not feed him very
long, nor quench his thirst.
"Pick it out, stranger" invited the pro-
prietor, idly shifting the shells. "It's easy
ii yo'rc right smart. One little pea, three
little shells-see how it's done2" and the
shells moved swiftly but clumsily. "Now,
