who responded to the name of Fatty, had
little beady eyes and very full lips, with "a
neck that took seventeen-inch collar and an
immense diamond stuck in his shirt front.
They dealt the cards with swiftness which
was revelation to Jimmy, who had never
seen professionals in their own habitat before.
The rapidity with which they would glance at
their cards, throw them up and ante for the
next deal, was to Jimmy extraordinary. He
had never seen sucha fast game, and in think
ing of his own chances in such company, he
felt much as man might who has under
taken to swim river and finds himself stand
ing beside the whirlpool at Niagara.
And this was the game the boys had dared
him to tackle! He had laughed at their &C
counts of it and had come up to Cairo es-
pecially to meet this boat and get into this
game. They all knew his purpose. He
could not back out now. These were the
men they had dared him to play with. AS he
looked them over, he wondered which was the
man that had thrust bowie-knife inso Mike
Hopper's hand. Which of them was it that
had thrown Texas Jake into the river?
Tommy Atkins was standing beside him,
evidently wondering what Jimmy thought of
it. This Tommy was the witness he had
hoped to avail himself Of He must put a
bold face on it before him.
After brief consultation, as they walked

had done-to beat these fellows-to win their
money and get away with it.
From the first, fortune seemed to favor him,
and while the cattle men were apparently siz-
ing up his game and exchanging opinions
about it among themselves by means of
shrugs and lifted eyebrows, Jimmy was taking
in more than his share of the pots, so that he
soon had quite a pile of cash in front of him.
"You play two pairs pretty strong" re-
marked Fatty, when Jimmy had called him,
in spite of Fatty's two-card draw after raise.
"When think I've got the best hand, I'll
play it as long as I've any chips left" was
Jimmy's reply, which made Chippy Heinz
actually laugh until he showed the points of
four teeth. The sentiment seemed to strike
his fancy.
Not long after that, Jimmy went into pot
with pair of queens, four men drawing cards
against him. He held up seven with the
pair, simply because it had "come in be-
tween" and he had heard that all frst-class
gamblers had superstition to the effect that,
if you caught small card between two type
writers, you should hold it for trial.
When he asked for two cards only, he no.
tioed momentary hesitation On the dealers
part, who glanced quickly at his neighbor.
Jimmy's quick eye also saw the man on the
dealers right, who was not in the pot, run
over the deadwood and with apparent care

the length of the cabin, nothing that Tommy
Atkins could say being of any avail to turn
Jimmy from his purpose, the two friends
agreed that they would both sit in and play if
either one was asked to do so, so that it would
not be quite so lonely for Jimmy when he took
the fatal plunge. The more Tommy Atkins
looked at the men who made up that game,
the less he liked the idea of it, and the more
insistent he became that there would be
trouble.
They had not long to wait for an invitation
to play, their interest in the game being very
apparent. Tommy Atkins, although usually
a very fair poker player, handled his cards
with fear and trembling, and soon lost as
much as he could afford in dollar-ante game
with apparently no limit, so he fell out and
contented himself with watching the tide of
fortune surge around Jimmy.
Instead of sharing the shoe-drummer's bad
luck, or want of nerve, once Jimmy Burke got
over the peculiar initial sensation of being
hurried along by the rapidity of the play, he
seemed to settle, down to business with as
much self-possession as if he were in his usual
place in the back room of the little hotel in
Helena among his friends, playing fve-cent
limit
Jimmy was pretty sharp and had good eyes
for what went on around him. He met the
bloodless gaze of the other players with a look
that showed he was not afraid of them or their
cards, and at the same time he did not fail to
catch the rapid exchange of glances that
passed between the men at the table; the
momentary hesitation in the dealing of a
card, or the slow stacking of the chips after
Jimmy had made a bet.
Having had no previous warning that the
game was so steep as dollar ante and no
limit, Jimmy felt that his small capital would
soon disappear if he had any bad luck, but he
did not fall into the usual error of the nom
professional and try to play close. He stood
right up to the cards they dealt him, and
played them for all they were worth, so that
no one at the table could tell whether he held
a bobtal ora full.
No matter how soon they might clean him
out, he could still say that he had sat in the
fatal game and played until he was broke.
Tommy Atkins was there as atwitness to that.
But what he had longed and hoped for was
that he might be able to do what no other man

asked him about 1t and he just laughed 1t OF,
and wanted to know what she had heard
about the game. Of course she fastened to
retail all the terrible things she had been told
of that had happened to men who had ven
tured to sit in that game during the past
twenty years; but SO far from being appalled,
by the recital he seemed to drink it all in, Just
as boy will drink in the most minute particu-
lars of the habits of wild animals that he
hopes to go hunting for some day.
"They say those fellows will be down on
the Natchez Saturday." he remarked, when
she paused for moment, having apparently
reached the end of her stock of terrors.
"How do you know7" she demanded
quickly.
"Why, Tommy Atkins, the shoe drummer,
is coming down on her." answered Jimmy
carelessly. "He telegraphed from ST. Louis
to the store to save him some orders and he
added three words to I'LL out the ten; cattle
men aboard' The boss knew what that
meant"
"Well, you take my advice, Jimmy, and
don't you go near that boat when she lands
here" admonished Nellie with peculiar ear
nestness. "They would throw you overheard
DC1O1C TIC OOdL SOb ID AdA d. G1ld1 OIuI, VI
else they would take all your money away
from you" ,.
Jimmy could not help smiling at the seri-
business of the warning, but he turned his head
away to hide the laugh.
The following Sunday afternoon, Jimmy's
class at the Sunday school had substitute
teacher. Nellie Daintry could hardly wait
until school was over to ask why Jimmy was
not there.
Jimmy took the train up to Cairo to meet
the Natchez," was. the prompt explanation of
the substitute teacher. "He's coming down
the river with Tommy Atkins" q s2s ~
The simple fact was that the temptation
had been too strong for Jimmy. The boys
had so often wound up their talks to him and
about him with the remark, "Wel, he
daresn't tackle the cattle mems game, any,
how" that it ranked in Jimmy's soul. Here
was his friend, Tommy Atkins, on the boat to
be witness if Jimmy should take the oft-re-
peated dare and venture into that dreaded
game, and the opportunity seemed too good
to be lost. -
It did not take him long to explain to his
friend the reason for his sudden appearance

on the Natchez at Cairo. Tommy
Atkins did his best to dissuade him,
telling him the things he had heard
about the desperate character Of the
men that made up the cattle crowd,
as they were called, and the settled
belief of the river men that no one
could win any money in that game.
and live to tell it. eze Z = r
But it was of no use. Jimmy had
come up to Cairo to tackle that
game, and he was not going to back
out now. He would show the boys
in Helena that he was not afraid of
anything, not even of the cattle
mems game.
During the afternoon, shortly
after leaving Hickman, the game
started. The two friends stood
round the table and watched it for
awhile, the men who were playing
looking up at them occasionally
with a sort of idle curiosity, and a
waiter stopping beside them now
and then to whisper, "Dem's de
cattle men," much as if he were
warning them against some beast
of prey that had better not be dis
turbed.
They were all men past middle
age, with sallow faces and lean
hands. One of them, whom the
others addressed as Chippy Heinz,
had a face like a hawk, his long nose
protruding below the brim of his
SLOUGH hat and his thin lips hardly
moving when he smoke. Another.

stand for years as memorials of these
1911 classes.
With this as a beginning, a prece-
dent will be established. Since it
is a good thing, it is reasonable 10
suppose that the classes of after years
will follow, either by departments or
as a whole. In time, then, the con-
tributiOns of this kind will be decided
ly worth much to the University. The
grounds will be made more attractive,
and the following out OF such a prac-
tice viii have tendency to bind the
interest of students and others more
closely to the school.
The plan is a good one. Let the
underclassmen determine now that the
classes in which they graduate shall
leave memorials somewhere on the
grounds of the University.

Joseph Pulitzer

The duty of the successful editor,
work and sacrifice for others, is the
illustration from the life of Joseph
Pulitzer, proprietor of the st. Louis
Post Dispatch and the New York
World. Blind from study that he pur-
sued in order TO make his papers
serve the people better, this Hungar-
| ian has been the champion of the
common people against the class to
which he now through circumstances
belongs. the rich.
He was originally a socialist and
had many of the radical ideas of the
socialists of his native country when
he came to America. When he worked
for Carl Schurz on the WestlichePost
| in ST Louis. SchurZ would often say
to visitors: Il want you to meet the
most interesting young socialist in
America and he would send for Pull
Iitzer. As Pulitzer grew older and
came more in contact with the bust
ness world, reaping its successes,
naturally his ideas on socialism grew
modified, but he never ceased to be
the champion of the people. He
sought to make them think. He be
came more tolerant OF a social sys-
TEN that was far from ideal, and his
ideas of change became less radical;
he sought rather TO better things by
educating the people than by over
throwing social system.
Only series OF accidents saved
him for the newspaper field in which
his influence has been wide-felt, and
in part through the monument that

CLASS MEMORIALS.

The coming of real class memorials
into the life of the University should
be welcome innovation Too long
has it been the practice of classes and
departments to either contribute mon
ey to some funds or pass out from
the activities here without leaving any
particular connecting link.
The erecting of gateways at en-
frances and the placing of monuments
on university grounds are common
methods of memorializing classes and
organizations. The Senior farmers

ABOUT GOOD BREEDING.

If a person is well bred he will not
embarrass a new acquaintance with
too personal questions and remarks.
To ask how one came by the scar
under his left ear, or what his father 5
or his own business is, or how old he
is, or why he didn't go into another
line of business, or how many rooms
there are in his house. or why he
doesn't take something for his cough,
or why he doesn't tie his hectic diff
ferently is simply too show that the
questioner has small respect for his
friends feelings and sensibilties
There are many persons who are
guilty of thus grilling their compan-
ions. Indeed it is easier to think OF
such tactless questions than it is 10
carry on a good companionable con-
versation that does not make either
party uncomfortable But the latter
is so much more desirable than it is
worth all the effort to become skilled
in it.

THERE ARE NO SCARS.

Fifty years ago the Civil War be-
gan For four years the battlcficlds
of America saw men from the North
and the South struggle for supremacy
Old men and boys took up arms to
fight for what to them was the right.
The soil of many states was bathed
in the blood of the Blue and the Gray
all Americans.
At last the smoke of cannon and
musket rolled away. Death had come
10 many. sections OF the country were
devasted and the Gray had lost. But
there was peace; choatic peace it was,
but peace Tattered and torn, wearied
by marching and fighting, sometimes
wounded and hungry. the Blue went
north: the Gray went south. One
went home the victor; the other went
home the vanquished, and there was
bitterness in the hearts of many. A
barrier stood between-there was a
North and South.
But the swords of war We're turned
into plowshares and pruning-hOolis
of peace, and the leopards lay down
with the kids-there was not war any
more. Fifty years now, and there
is no Blue, no Gray, no North, no
Solith-peace covers these people and
these sections as the waters cover
the seas. No nation in history can
match the reunited and irresistible
power of the nation HOW common
heritage.
Even as there is peace and a re
united nation, so have all the wounds
been healed-there are no scars.

About Senior Class Memorials.

Editor the MissOurian: The seniors
of several divisions of the University
of Missouri are planning to leave
memorials that will last while the Uni
versity lasts. Stone seats on the
campus have been suggested and Il
drinking fountain also may be erected.
This action is cOmmendable. What
is more noble than to give the thirsty
drinks. even although il be but water,
and what more cOmmendable than to
provide places for the weary to sit
down? Think of the foresight and
kindness of these noble persons.
If some one would only provide free
ice cream to all deserving alumni, the
University of Missouri would be an
ideal college. 1t is that anyhow.
