BEAT AT THEIR OWN GAME
"Sharks" Who Had Considered
Him Easy Picking.

Senator Fall of Three Rivers was
talking at the Republican convention
in Chicago about political tricks.
"The trouble with all tricks" he
said, "is that they are apt to be called.
The tenderest political tenderfoot is
apt to call the slickest trickster.
Its like the tenderfoot in the Tin
Can poker game. He was very, very
tender and they dealt him four aces;
then, when he turned Ills back to Or
der a sandwich, the dealer slipped
sixth card on to his pile, thus nullify-
ing his good hand.
1.-The tenderfoot said nothing, ap-
parently. He munched his sandwich
and bet, and bet, and bet. An enor-
mons sum soon lay on the table. The
dealer and his pals were more than
pleased, but they could not understand
the bartender, who kept making the
queerest faces at them from the bar.
1.-THE tenderfoot finished his sand
wich at last, called the betting, and
laid down his cards. There were only
five of them; the sixth had disap-
peared.
"He gathered mp his winnings, nod
ded cool goodnight and walked out.
The dealer, cursing and swearing,
roared:
"'What did he do with that sixth
card?'
"What did he do with it?' howled
the bartender. Didn't you see me
signaling? He ate 1t with his sand
wich ="

Denver.-Acting upon the report of
the committee on relations to the Sow
ereign Camp, the delegates of the Pa
cific Jurisdiction,W W0odmen of the
World. cancelled all relations with
the sovereign camp and established
themselves an Independent organiza-
ton, with new articles Of incorpora-
tion and a new name, "Woodmen of
the World without the designation
Pacific Jurisdiction" heretofore a
part of their official name.
Heretofore the Pacific jurisdiction
has been subordinate to the SOY:
ereign camp, and has been restricted
to the nine states forming its juris;
diction. Every year tax has been
paid to the sovereign camp, and the
jurisdiction of the Western branch
limited in other ways. With the radi-
cal move adopted a new organization
is formed, free from all subordination
to the larger organization. The reso-
luton, as adopted unanimously by the
delegates, is as follows:
1. That all contractual relations
now existing between the head camp.
Pacific jurisdiction, Woodmen of the
World, and the sovereign camp.
Woodmen OF the World, be cancelled.
| q That our articles Of incorpora-
ton and constitution be amended SO
that all territorial restrictions. in re-
gard to our jurisdiction, be removed,
and that we be authorized to transact
business in any Of the states and ter
ritories OF the United States.
8. That the name of our associa.
ton be changed to Woodmen of the
World.
| 4. That we adopt new ritual and
take such other and necessary steps
as will make our association an inde-
pendent society in every sense of the
word.
This radical step by the Pacific jur.
isdiction is the result Of careful plan.
ming during three years, the officials
stated and will be effective Nov. 1.
The question of admitting women

mittee on laws and will be taken up

There are fading emblems in the

are of crowns and coronets, thrones
