Peculiar Western panks.

The difference between the Amer.
lean east and west so strongly empha-
sized by rhetoricians and meteorolo-
gists extends even to the banking sys-
tenn. In the west they lend money on
reputation. in the east on security.
On day in June last. six little banks
In Seattle had lent on individual or
firm notes without any other security
than the names $s,597.000; while the
whole national bank group in New
York had lent on similar paper only
a little more than 100000 On that
same day. In San Francisco, the loans
OF this sort amounted to more than
347.000,o00.

TAG POKER is NEW FAD
Play IL With Numbers on Passing
Auto Just Like Real
Gambling.

Chicago.--DO you play tag poker?
It is the latest automobile diversion
and is becoming more and more pop
ular amongst those who have a ma
chine in which to ride and an element
IN theft composition which for lack
Of better and more descriptive term,
IS called sporting blood"
The fundamental rules of this slim
ulating new game are the same as in
straight poker, as far as pairs, threes,
fours of a kind and straights go.
You beguile the monotony of your
journey after this fashion:
Suppose you and a friend of yours
are riding along in a car. Your friend
says he will take the tag of the first
car that comes along and you agree
to take the second An automobile
whizzes by. You both crane your
necks to catch the number, which is
duly recorded. The number might
be 1896.
This is your friends hand, and con.
sists of pair of fours
You watch for the next car. which
will be your hand. The excitement
becomes intense. The car flies by.
The number is 67275 You win, be.
cause you have a pair Of sevens.
In order that you may not waste
time or the stimulating effect Of the
game, one of the rules provides that
in case there are no pairs, the hand" |
having the highest number would win.
Then, too, it is possible to make the
game draw poker You and your
friend may try to better your hands,
with the additional numbers.
