THREE QUEENS AND TWO JACKS
Ny CHARLES H. MANDY

The little game of draw three" Is as clearly an American institution as is base ball. Few there are who have reached the age of understanding who are not more or less familiar with the rudiments of the game. for the terms and phrases used by poker players have been so fre- quently quoted by modern writers, plat form speakers. theatrical artists. vaude- vile stars and others that they have be- come quite as familiar as the sayings of Poor Richard"
 Who has not heard the phrase "a square deal" "a full hand" "a royal flush" "a straight" "a raise, a jack pot" and dozen other expressions that are not only familiar. but whose mean ing is generally known. While 1t is not of record that Shakespeare knew any thing about poker, yet many of his noted sayings are applicable to the game. For

 instance, when the gloomy prince of Den mark said, '"Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished" he may have had in mind four juicy aces. When bloody Macbeth yelled, "Out. damned spot" he probably drew a black ace instead of the three of hearts to complete a heart flush, and per baps the amorous Henry the Eighth, when he announced The Queen being ab- sent it is needful fitness that we ad- lourn this court may have held the ace. king jack and ten spot kand needed the queen aforesaid to i'll out. a royal flush. This Is mere conjecture, however, for as was stated, the immortal William gave no notice that he knew the game.
 But nevertheless the use of poker terms has become common, because, like so many of the recent slang phrases. they are so expressive and so applicable to every day incidents. They have been used at times, perhaps, unconscously, from the pulpit to illustrate point and generally with good effect. This being the case, fl Is not to be wondered at that the terms are frequently used at court for the very reason of their aptness.
 At a recent matinee of Judge Aberne- thy's court. he had before him quite

President Exum Cheered

President Exum made 1t even stronger than MT. Weatherly. His statement was punctuated with vocifefous applause, and was cheered to the echo when concluded. President Exum said
 We are not hard up. All this talk about being hard up is all wrong. The fact is that taking our budget 1t will be seen that outside of an inherited debt we are within the income. We are getting along fine. l can say, therefore, that I shall be willing to re-estabish the s250 monthly appropriation, and it will be paid in cash and not warrants to be held up, as someone suggested. Not only that, I think the commissioners may consult and give more than that Further. l am will ing for this body to appear with you before the board of revenue and help you get the appropriation there increased. This city Is capable of paddling its own financial canoe, and l am for this work. It is a great task and you have every atom of support that I can give you"
 M T. Sloan presided and called upon the speakers. In addition to the gentle men present the session was attended by Mrs. Leo K. Steiner. Mrs. Samuel Rand and Mrs. Richard Johnston. The officials of the association were visibly pleased with the unexpected success of their mis- sion.

Deyine Describes Accident

Capt. G. E. Devine. in describing the accident, said:
 "Patrolman simmons and myself were both standing on the platform talking and did not notice that anything was wrong. The first thing we knew the crash had occurred. and we were struggling to escape the flying pieces of wood and glass. Yet even in the turmoil, re- member the awful screeches that broke loose from the passengers inside the car. There was no mistaking the tones. They telonged to school girls. A perfect bed lam seemed to have broken loose, and for three minutes things sounded Ike nerfect bevy of Scottish bagpipes on the high tenor"
 The debris was cleared away and the passengers transferred to another car. The wrecked one was coupled on and carried to the East Lake car barns. captain De- vine was able to continue on his way, although his foot gave ahim great deal of pain.

Throughout the discussion there was re- peated reference made to a published example of the association refusing ad- mittance to a suffering man with hack ing cough and a hollow cheek because he did not have any money. In toto Dr. Eayes denied that statement, J. B. woods of the Trades Council said he knew It was not true, while other speakers said the statement was exaggerated. To these Commissioner Lane in most dlgnlned way said:
 q wish to say in justice to The Age Herald and myself that the sufferer spoken of Sunday morning did come to my office and relate the circumstances spoken of, he did have hacking cough, no money and appeared to be suffering from the fearful malady. l Immediately summoned pr. Whelan, the city physi- elan. and told him to take care ot that poor, stricken man" Dead silence fell while Judge Lane delivered that striking assertion.
 Dr. Eaves said the man. was traced to Bessemer and had been given attention, and that it was unwise for any outside action to be taken In such an incident.

Mr. Weatherly's Statement

Following the statement of Judge Lane he moved that the matter be passed. MT. Weatherly then made a statement: All though voted for the budget knew that the appropriation for this work would not stand. I felt all along that 1t was in- sufficient. I shall therefore be inclined to at least give what we cut off, and perhaps more. We would not hesitate

BEEF is GOING UP AGAIN
Quotations Show Advance of
One half to Two Cents in Week.

Wholesale prices for beef have gone up
another notch. according 10 the official
quota tions sent out by a prominent pack
ing house.
The new figures state that No ribs

1917 cents and No. l21g cents.
Rounds are advanced to H. 1871 and lOi.

which. added to the already high prices.
will make an sppreciable difference on
the weekly statement from the butcher.
In the main the rise In prices has been
confined TO beef and while there has been
a slight sympathetic advance in the hog
and sheep markets, the prices are nearer
the average than those demanded for beef
and veal.
Throughout the winter and in the spring
when the boycott against beef was in
progress. consumers were urged by those
leading the movement 10 eat mutton and
pork whenever II was necessary TO pur-
chase meat at all. The advice still holds
good. and II beef continues on the up
ward trend II Is predicted that these last
named staples will become extremely
popular.

OLD SOLDIER A SUICIDE
Veteran Worried Over Wound
Made bv Filipino Bullet.

Worrying over an old wound which he
had received while campaigning In the
Philippines Patrick Holahan. retired
sergeant OF engineers in the regular
army committed suicide yesterday in his
room at No. III Livingston street,
Brooklyn. by inhsling gas. His body
was found by Mrs Ellen Mack. the land
lady. who had traced the odor OF gas 10
Holahan's room.
Holahan had been living at Mrs.
Mack's house about a year. He had re-
tired from the army about two years
ago after a continuous service OF thirty
wears. He often complained OF the pain
from a wound inflicted by Filipino bull
10, in the side. This had lately produced
necrosis OF the bone. resulting in partial
raraIvsIs OF Holahans lower limbs. The
old soldier grew morose and discouraged
and often talked about the futility OF liv-
ing longer
Yesterday morning when Mrs. Mack
knocked at Holahans door. as was her
o,,s,o,r there was no answer. She
,bought perhaps the man was in need of
more sleep and did not again 90 near
the room until the afternoon. Then she
smelled escaping gas.
When DIR. Buckley, of the Brooklyn
,Hosp,tal responded 10 an ambulance
cau he said Holahan had been dead for
several hours. There was no note left by
IN. former soldier explaining the reason
for his act
