Loses his $500 BY
Winning At Poker
(Ry Associated Press)

YONKERS, N. Y.-When William
Morton, who Is seventy five years old
and lives at No. 81 Ashburton avenue,
came out of his little trance today
and fell himself over he realized 1t
was no idle dream that he had been
put back $500 by his love for poker
and his confidence in human nature.
His belief that it was all going out
and nothing coming In was strength
ened when he read the following note:
THIS KINDLY ADVICE DATES
BACK TO ADAM.
Never try to trim wise one. 1t
not only does not befit a man of your
years, but it has been tried by thou.
sands before you, and the verdict of
time is tilat it can't be done.
"Publicity would be very bad on
your credit with your banker, and we
feel therefore that we can trust you
to swallow your anger and keep this
afternoons sport to YOURSELF
So that this information might not
get lost in the shuttle, it was placed
under bkick, which Mr.. Morton
found today in a small valise when
he opened it to look for $4,000 he
thought he had won in poker game.
The brick, the note and the valise
were taken to the police and to them
he told the story of how he had been
cruelty cheated out of $500 by two
men in whom he had the utmost con-
fidence.
According to Mr.. Morton, he met,
few days ago, a man from whom ne
won $4,000 playing poker. After the
man had given an o U" for the
money. he told Mr. Morton Of another
man, from whom he could win lot
of money. AS they were talking, who
should come along but the other man.
Mr.. Morton was told the other man
played a strictly cash game and
that he had better provide himself
with $500. Mr.. Morton did. and the
trio went to a nice, clean, grassy lot
outside the town and began to play.
1t was table stakes game, and each
of the men put $500 in real money
before him. The first hand was
dealt, and Mr.. Morton had one that
he considered was pippin. He really
only needed four cards, for he had all
the aces. He drew one card as a
"bind" and the other fellow also
drew one. Mr.. Morton bet $10O and
prayed fervently that his opponent
would raise him He did.
Raise you $40O,' he said, and Mr..
Morton promptly called" him. The
other fellow said he had a flush, and
Mr. Morton drew down the pot, show
ing his hand This his first friend
produced a valise, into which he
placed all the money in the pot. Next
he offered to redeem his 4 o U" and
put into the valise what he said was
So, 900 in cash.
Then they parted. Mr.. Morton took
the valise home and opened it to
count the money. 1t didn't keep him
very busy. He has the brick and
the valise and the wisdom.

TEXAS FISH TO
Climb LADDERS
(Specja, to the Trlbune)


SAN ANTONIO, Texas, June 2S.-
Fish Warden Emmet Smith is max
ing an effort to have fish ladders
placed in t'ae dams in various streams
in the state So far three dams have
been built in the Colorado rver and
no arrangements were made for fish
from the lower waters to ascend the
stream. Similar conditions exist on
other streams in the state which ii
not cured will result in the ultimate
annihilation of all fish in the upper
levels. 1t lis we'll known fact that
fish ascend the streams at spawning
time to the shallow water, where the
eggs can be deposited and the small
minnows he free from the ravages of
the large fish which infest the deeper
water. It is to protect the fish in the
streams and insure the increase OF
this valuable food product that is
prompting Mr.. Emmett to insist on
ladders being placed In the dams.

Uptown and Downtown Clerks.

Uptown and Downtown Clerks.
To the Editor Of The Evening word;
Il agree with M. ks" i.ca as TO the
season why uptown clerks are apt TO
be more polite in their dealings with
abe public than are those employed
downtown. Undoubtedly tAcre are more
women customers uptown than down
town, but don't think that this Is the
only reason for the hrusqueness OF
many downtown clerks, as opposed to
the gentlemanly bearlns 81 those up
town. Ny idea IL that uptown clerks
1--we in a busier sphere, come across
more buslness-like people. as well rs
more people who are polite, than do
ttose occupied downtown. on account
OF this they naturally acquire a polite
and graceful manner. which politencss
they show toward their customers OF all
descriptions and on all occasions. thus
making themselves as remarkable for
their courtesy as some OF their down
town friends do for their guinness.
