He staked His Herd.

Many stories of zig poker games
among the western cattlemen in the
early days have been told. but the
story of the game with probably the
greatest stakes is here printed for
the first time. Two well-known cat
tlemen Of southwestern Kansas start
ed to move their herds to the pas
lures of Wyoming. Each herd con-
tanned more than a thousand head Of
cattle. When they came to the
Icrossing of the Arkansas river near
Coolidge they found food on.
THEY were unable to cross for two or
three days. To while away the time
the two men engaged in poker game.
When the flood finally subsidized so that

:cattlemen said to his son, who was
helping to drive: "Just turn my herd
|over to our neighbor and we will 60
back home" He had bet and lost not
lonly all the money he had, but all Of
the herd Of cattle.

by this situation, Justice generally
goes away back and sits down. Here

GUS matters. what do you want to
prove by this witness?" we once heard

United States Supreme bench. ask q

was the answer. "The witness can re-

this country. The discretion Of q

English courts they do not have near

IF the duties of lawmaking and
interpreting the laws are pushed upon
the people Of this country, one-man
rule will inevitably result. The com.
munity is bound to center its conf.
dence in certain men who represent
their sentiments at the time. The gov.
eminent will eventually become q
one-man system, and this man will
have behind him the power Of the
people he is able to interest. This
system created julius Caesar. It is
the very reverse Of the representative
government upon which this republic
is built. Jacob G. Schurman.
