Each good little man presents his card or Identification and gets his prize. Here you are, sir, three boxes for you and three spoons, solid silver plate. Here s yours: the jack of diamonds takes six little he'd boxes and six spoons, or haH dozen. every one of them solid Ger man silver plate, warranted not to rust, turn green, wear out or lose their luster if kept perfectly dry and not removed from tkejr wrsppings.
 By this time the llttle piles of gold and silver had all vanished and only the little red boxes and the solid Ger man silverine plated spoons remained in sight The shiny butt of the gun was juse visible, neeping coyly from his coat pocket It made any protest seem narrow minded, unsportsman- like, and niggardly. At any rate none was made.

 Now, gents. do you want another box apiece, or shall l deal another hand?"
 Three ot the buyers hastily doubled their investment and the thick se' one with a bulbous nose, heavy mus. tache, and puffy touches under the eyes took four at q time and saw hii four halves capped by four shining do! lars.
 "J. P. Morgan never lets a good thing get past him. commented the merchant Of red boxes, making change. Here's your money: ten, if teen and three is eighteen. Remember me to Charley Swab next time you see him." The crowd grinned at this, but the capper solemnly counted his change and pocketed it. Say, this is easy money" he remarked 10 a dapper little counter jumper whose pale blue eyes had gulped down the proceeding. You want-a break into the next hand?"
 The little clerk had thought of do- ing so and the advice of the elderly hnancier decided him.

No, it IS not hypnotism, it is The Lure. That is the kind of thing which I try to get into my sonnets, although on loftier plane than the material, of course"

Our continual improving
through thick and thin. summer

and the eyes Of the investor is
upon us. There is a reason for
the great confidence our people
nave IN our city. We said a
reason there are many reasons.

material and do the work. He
is the same gentleman who built
the Lubbock Mercantile building,
the Cope and Vickers building
and the Morrow building on the
south side of the square last
winter, and he goes at his work
in a business like manner and
rushes it through.
The contract we understand
calls for this building TO be
started by the first of December
and to be completed by the first
Of February.
We have not learned who will
occupy the new buildings but
will probably be the tenants
who are now occupying the old
building. Getting tenants for a
nice brick building however, is
not hard task in Lubbock, az
they are in demand. and we ex-
pect to hear soon of another
large brick on the west side Of
the square.
The Avalanche wishes to con-
gratulate Mr.. Robinson on the
move he has made TO replace the
wooden buildings with this
splendid brick structure. IL
will be great Improvement for
that part Of town and will add
much to the value Of the prop
erty.
