VAGRANT ON TURN OF CARD
Gambler Was sos, 900 Ahead When
Single Turn Of Card Took All and
He Became a Tramp.

San Francisco. - James Parkhill.
one-time owner of a $1,000 bank roll
and the Bank Exchange faro bank,
Deadwood, S. D., who has the reputa-
ton Of making the largest wager on
the turn Of single card ever risked
IL the Klondike region, stood before
Judge Deasey, tattered, unshaven and
broke, charged with yagrancy.
It was in 1898 that Parkhill sat in
poker game with Red" Macintosh,
Bill Richards and Frank Hull, all big
money men in the Klondike. They
we're playing in the Park Train saloon,
and Parkhill, who stood $4,000 ahead
Of the game, bantered Hull for $780,
900 wager on the turn of a card.
Hull was game. The stakes were
put up. Hull, who had the first turn,
turned queen, and Parkhill lost his
$4,000 on a seven spot. He told the
court that he had toured the world
since then, but his life had been a
game of ups and downs, with about
seven downs to one up.
He was begging when arrested
When freed by Judge Deasey he said
he would get out Of town as quickly as
he could.

BENEFIT IN WAGGING EARS
Exercise Is Declared by Physicians to
Have an Excellent Effect of
the Hearing.

You will rarely find that man who
can wag his ears suffers from deaf
ness. The reason for this is very sim
pie. Wagging ones ears exercises
them just as much as walking exer-
cises the muscles of the legs. A great
deal of deafness is caused by the mus,
cles of the ears becoming stiff and
refusing to respond quickly to the
sound waves.
Quite a large proportion of children
can move their ears, just as they can
move the skin on their forehead. up
and down, but as they grow up they
lose their power through want of prac-
tice. 1t is a mistake to let child lose
this power, for it may mean the diff
ference between good and bad hearing
in after years.
Dr. M. Fernet, the famous Paris doc
tor, has even gone so far as to suggest
that people should be trained to wag
their ears just as they are trained to
exercise any other muscles of the
body.

Measles Fatal TO Adults.

Even adult white men succumb to
measles when they are herded very
closely together and exposed to a
virulent Infection. There have been
outbreaks in logging camps which
were terrible. The onset of the germ

resistance of the ordinarily immune

the fact that Japanese take this dis

Raising Late Strawberries.

Representative D. f. Drunkker of
New Jersey gave a few friends a sur
prise one evening last September.
He had been discussing agriculture
with some members, and remarked
that he had enjoyed Strawberries
raised in the open in his native state.
The other congressman hooted at
the idea of Jersey selling strawberries
from the field in the latter part of
September, but Drukker stuck to his
point and invited the doubling Thorn
asses to dine with him a few nights
later.
In the meantime he had wired for
several quarts of berries to a trucker
near his home who made a speciality
Of late berries. The strawberries came
and were served for dinner, much to
the surprise of the gentlemen, who
found 1t difficult to credit their own
senses.
Raspberries and strawberries in
October are now getting to be quite
a fad among those up-to-date farm
ers who know how to do the stunt,
which consists in pulling off from the
plant the early blooms.
