at al.
The trick is done with the aid Of
confederate and code. have copy
OF the code in my pocket. That stTan-
gers performance puzzled me, so l
followed the fellow around town for
number OF days and nights: He visited
various clubs and saloons and got ac-
quainted. So he introduced the mind
reading topic, got only one bet in each
place, won it and made himself scarce,
Just as he did in this club.

"All right" he replied. I'm going
to skip the town tonight ~ tell YOU
how tie trick is worked. You seerr to
be a good fellow, and you certainly
were a good loser OF that fifty III at
the Apollo You fell easy and bit hard
all the time. That's the kind of fish |
like to land. They don't squeal and
make trouble But the game doesn't
last long in any one place, for various
reasons that will be perfectly plain when
you are acquainted with the tails of the
fake.
All that is necessary is to have a
deck Of cards a code and a planted part
ner. You station him in saloon or any
other convenient place that has tele-
phone. In your code every one of the
fifty-two cards is given different
name. All the partner has to do is to
sit still and answer questions when they
are asked over the wire. Here is the
code we use Copy it. if you wish.
L did copy it. fellows, and here it is
it being the very one that those smooth
scoundrels memorized and used with
such good effect in their business of
taking about $500 out of Yonkers in
side of two weeks or less. When the
cistim goes to the telephone and asks
for the mythical person whose name
the operator gives, the planted partner
instantly knows the card that has been
drawn, for the name he calls is the
name of the extracted card.
Here is the code for the diamond
suit; ace of diamonds, Mary Ander-
son; king of diamonds, Henry Lee;
queen of diamonds, jack OF diamonds;
ten of diamonds, Samuel Hunt; nine
of diafonds, Arthur Wade: eishI of

matter quite easy to compute. In
$15,0o0,0O0 there are exactly
3OO,Oo0,OOo fve=cent pieces. A
package of the tobacco which
Duke sells for a nickel, makes
about thirty smokes"
So o,00O,00O,0O0 cofin-nails
had to be breathed into rings to
make possible these Somerville
gardens-nine billions of. purely
proft-giving cigarets all in excess
of the countless other billions
that had to be burned away first
to make Mr.. Dukes incurred ex-
penses."
Somerville, its location is 40
miles from New York, beyond
the farthest fringe of commuta-
ton. 1t was the nearest place to
the great city, though, where
Duke could find 5000 acres of I'M
hampered land. 1t was rather
fiat, undressing land, too, and
would have dauted most men
who wanted to make for them
selves 'the most beautiful garden
in the world"
But Duke had the money from |
billions of cofin-nails in his jeans |
and with it he hired scores of |
landscape gardeners and civil en-
gineers and plain workmen by |
the thousands.
Now the place is fairy1and |

son returned from Europe they

Farther up, the drive they pass
ed "the garden of the graces."
This is a rose plot about which
are placed nine statues of "the,
graces and arts" These were
brought from a famous Italian
garden.
In every direction fountains
play. There is one that is said to,
be as fine as the gigantic fountain
of Versailles. This is placed di-
rectly in the center of marble
bridge and the overflow from it
falls in a cascade over the rail of
the bridge into swan-lake 80 feet
below.
Over this bridge and on up the
hillside the Duke auto climbs
past the boating lake and past the
formal gardens to the high pla-
teau where the house itself is set.
And as the Duke de Cofin-nails,
out and stands upon his
porch he will be able to look miles,
in every direction and the view,
will be all his.
P. S.-Because Duke is little
bit grateful to the cigaret smok-

has arranged to let them and their
families see how he has spent
their money, so every Tuesday

Some Winter to That.

Those of us who think the winter
that is just drawing to a close has
been a singer may find some consol-
alton in knowing that there has been
worse-much worse. The winter of
1882 was a ringtail-twister, accord
ing to Bailey of the Britt Tribune,
who describes it thus: This has
been a nice winter, but back in '82
we had a hard one; it froze the noses
off the tea-kettles that winter, and
the ears off the washtubs. The finger
of time peeled with the frost and the
hand of fate froze stiff. They had to
amputate the foot of hill, and the
head of river was frozen solid. 1t
was awful. Farmers bored wells
down to the tops of their barns
through the roof and hauled up the
milk in the morning with a bucket
and chain. Oh, that old milk buck
ct, that frost covered bucket, that
bucket that pulled with
4 chain! Sundays froze stiff that
winter and nightmare lost it's
hoofs A saw horse had it's legs
frozen off, the tongue of a wagon

cold that the farmers did not get the

BETTING A CRIME IN
''a IOWA,
Warming to Election Betters Issued
From Attorney Generals
Office,

AS the first of the spring elections
is to be held in this county next
Monday, timely warning was issued
Tuesday from the office of the attor-
ney general, in an opinion given by
Special Counsel N. j. Lee in response
to two questions put up to Attorney
General Cosson. The warning, in
brief, is that it is crime in Iowa to
cess or failure of any candidate, and
any person found guilty of betting
may be fined or imprisoned or both.
A year in the county Jail for wa
gering a cigar on whether John Doe
would beat Richard Roe for town.
ship constable, would be paying dear
ly for the smoke, but such penalty
could be paid under the Iowa, accord
ing to Mr.. Lee. No one knows just
where lightning is going to strike,
neither does one know when some
one is going to find out that some
one else bet on an election and is
able to prove it. No one knows,
either, who is going to make capital
out of an election bet in order to
play even for some real or fancied
grudge. Therefore, it behooves the
sporty" ones to refrain from bet
ting.
The Questions and Answers.
The question submitted to the at
torney general, and Mr.. Lees an
swers to the same, are as follows:
First-1s there anything in the
election laws which prohibits anyone
from betting on any candidate?
Seconds anyone who has made
wager or bet on the result of an
election disqualified from voting?
Answering the first question, Mr.
Lee says:
THE making of any bet or wager
on the result of any election or on
the success or failure of any candi-
date for any office is a crime under
our laws. The penalty provided is
not to exceed one years imprison-
ment in the county jail or fine not
to exceed $500 or BOTH"
On the second question the opin-
ion says:
mo matter how vicious the prac-
tice of betting may be, it would not
disqualify one participating therein
from voting"
Mr.. Lee goes farther in his opinion
and states that as the constitution
prescribes the qualifications of an
elector, the legislature is powerless
to pass law making such betting
disqualification for voting.

Miss Stella Ford Married,

The following announcement of
the approaching marriage of Miss
Stella Ford, of Enid, Oklahoma, a
former popular young lady of Leon,
is taken from the Enid, Okla, Daily
Eagle:
THE announcement of the en-
gagement and approaching marriage
of Miss Stella Luella Ford and Mr..
Frank Owens, both popular young
society people Of this city was made
Thursday afternoon by Mrs. Oliver B.
Swim, when she entertained with a
four o'clock tea.
Rumors of the engagement and
approaching nuptials have been going
the rounds for some time, and while
there are host of friends and ac-
qualntances, who not entirely I'M
Suspecting that such an event would
take place, are surprised at the ear
illness of the date, which has been
set for March 26th. Miss Ford and
Mr.. Owens have chosen a quiet home
wedding, to which only their rela-
tives and intimate friends will be
hidden. They will continue to make
their home in this city and will reside
at 628 East Main St.
,, The tea given by Mrs. Swim was
one Of the most attractive of the
mid-lenten festivities, the home of
Mrs. S. l. Hudkins, where the affair
was given, being massed in hundreds
of red hearts, reinforced by graceful
bowles and vases of crimson carna-
tons which adorned the furnishings
in each Of the receiving rooms. The
drawing room was darkened, the
electric light bulbs being shaped in
red and leading from the chandelier
to the corners of the room were rib
bon strung hearts. Early in the af
ternoon preceding the tea service, the
guests were presented with small
linen squares, needles and embroid-
cry silk and asked to design their
Easter bonnet. AS a result of the
contest Mrs. Chas. Sanders received
book, when We Are in Love-" for
being the most artistic milliner pres
ent and Mrs. Floyd Horney was
presented with the consolation, a
bunch of orange blossoms. In the
DINING room the decorations were
climaxed in the table ornamental
tions.
The large wedding cake in the
center of the table laid in lovers
knot linen, surrounded with tiny
hearts on which burned bright red
tapers was supplemented by tiny red
flowers which followed entirely
around the edge of the cloth. Small
red heart-shaped sachets at each COW
er were attached at the other end by
small hearts, hidden beneath the
wedding cake. AS the ribbons were
drawn, the secret was disclosed and
the guests gave one exclamation of
surprise at the earliness of the we'd
ding. Miss Ford was showered with
good wishes and the guests wrote
favorite recipes and words of advice
which will be pasted in the brides
note book. An elaborate three
course menu was served, Mrs. Swim
and Mrs. Hudkins having the as
sistance of Miss Ruth Ford, Miss
nellie Johnson and Little Miss Ruth
McOsker. Music was furnished dur
ing the tea service and as the guests
arrived by Miss Mabel Cole, who later
accompanied Miss McOsker for num-
Der of vocal selections. Miss Ruth
Ford and Miss Johnson were dressed
in white and wore red heart-shaped |
aprons and caps.
