BIG MEN At POKER TABLE
Correspondent Of Saturday Evening
Post Writes Of Games in Which
Statesmen Figured.

Mr.. Cleveland was fond-not over
fond-of cards. He liked to play the
noble game at. say, a dollar limit
even once and while for little more
but not much more. And, as Dr.
Norvin Green was wont to observe OF
Commodore Vanderbilt, "He held them
exceeding close to his bosom"
Mr.. Whitney, secretary of the navy
in his first administration, equally
rich and hospitable, had often "the
road gang" as certain group, mainly
senators, was called, to dine, with the
inevitable after-dinner soiree or
seance. / was. when in Washington,
invited to these parties. At one OF
them / CHANGED to sit between the
president and Senator Don Cameron.
Mr.. Carlisle, at the time speaker OF
the housewife handled his cards like
a child and, as we all knew, couldn't
play a little-was seated on the Oppo-
site side Of the table.
After q while Mr.. Cameron and !
began bulling the game-I recall that
the limit was $5-that is, raising and

else happened to be in, without much
or any regard to the cards we held.
It CHANGED on q deal that I picked
up a pat flush; Mr.. Cleveland pat
full. The Pennsylvania senator and
went to the extreme, the president, OF
course, willing enough for us to play
his hand for him. But the speaker OF
the house persistently stayed with us
and kept on.
We could not drive him out.
When 1T came to a draw Senator
Cameron drew one card. Mr.. Cleve-
land and 1 stood pat. But Mr.. Car
Isle drew four cards. At length, after
much banter and betting, 1t reached
q showdown and, mirabile dictu, the
speaker held four kings!
"Take the money, Carlisle; take the
money" exclaimed the president. III
ever I am president again you shall
be secretary of the treasury. But
don't you make that four-card draw
too often"
He was president again. and Mr..
Carlisle was secretary Of the treas

The next debate we take part in
will be on the 10th. We are not sure
as to the place. Our team will have
the affirmative. Judging from the
way they debated last time this ought
to be another victory for US.

The game with Yakima Thanksgiv-
ing day resulted in a defeat for Ken
newick, the score being 36 to 6. This
is not representative Of the compara-
tive playing ability of the two teams
as Kennewick lacked only few yards
of making the same yardage they did.
The Kennewick team was outweighed
20 pounds to the man. BY rushing
them, Kennewick could get the ball
down the field but by outplaying
themselves in midfield failed to turn
the trick. As far as technical foot
ball was concerned Kennewick out
played them but could not stand up
to the superior weight. The, Lineup
was as follows: Center, Briggs;

Last Monday the students of the
high school had the privilege of lis
tening to an interesting lecture from
an old soldier, Captain John Philips,
a veteran of the Civil War and an
Indian campaign. He spoke on Travel
Talks and Indian Methods of War
fare. He described his travels in
California. While there he saw the
meeting of the Atlantic and Pacific
fleets, including the sham battle.
From California he went north thru
this country, then east into Canada
and later to Mexico. Captain Philips
did not take an avtive part in the
campaign of the Civil War, but he
described the work which he did,
guarding the Indians. In the Indian
campaigns of 1864 and 1865 and of
1890 and 1891 he took part in the
Cheyenne war and the Ghost Dance
war. Talks like this from people who
have seen interesting things are al
ways appreciated by the students as
thew learn things which they other
wise might not. -.s gS-e.
The assembly was entertained again
on Tuesday by the Bulgin-Lewis par
ty. Mrs. Lewis sang three songs and
Mr.. Lewis and DR.. Bulgin sang with
her in the last one. Following this
DIR. Bulgin spoke on Presenting the
Elephant" This was based on the
we'll known story of the five blind
men who went to see the elephant,
and each saw it in different way.
He spoke on this topic to show us how
to hang certain truths of life on to
right limbs. DR.. Bulgin said that
the people who live and see only part
of life are drifters and no good. They
are like the blind man who saw the
elephant as wall. There are people
who live for appetite alone, and go
through life without ideals. These are
drifters also. Boys and girls should
set the very best standard before
them as ideals, as the high. school age
is the time when character is made.
If.we have low ideals the character is
low.s He also said that a person
should have made the world better
for living in it. We should stay at
the job most familiar to us and to
accomplish this we should prepare for
the best. This is the second time
we have heard these folks and we
like them better now than We did at
first. We certainly hope they will
come again, as DR.. Bulgin's talks are
very educational.

Cloth From Tree Bark.

The famous 'tapa" cloth of Polyne-
STA is made from the inner bark Of the
paper mulberry. When of the finest
quality 1t is bleached to snowy white
ness and fine as muslin.
In tropical Africa the inner bark Of
a. leguminous tree is utilized In the
same way. Indeed, 1t is surprising to
learn how widely tree barks are en-
ployed as material for clothing the
world over. And in the West Indies

yields a delicate tissue so like lace
that many articles Of feminine adorn.

AMENDMENT RATIFIED.

Members of the Nevada Legislature
convened in special session February
Z went on record in favor of ratifica-
ton of the suffrage amendment TO the
Constitution of the United States by
votes of twenty-five TO one III the as
sembiy, and twelve to nothing in the
senate. Ii is a marked Characters
tic of the people of the West that
when they & out to 40 and accom-
plish a thing that they believe to be
right they do il whole-heartedly, and
not by halves. The practically unan-
imous action of the solons was
typical. Had all members of both
houses been present the result would
have been the same-with possibly
no other votes registered against CIV
ing the women of the nation the
same privileges of citizenship already
enjoyed by members of the fair sex
in Nevada. says the Carson City
News.
The Nevada legislatures action Is
probably unique in that the introduc-
ton and making of all motions in
the assembly proceedings resulting
in the passage of the resolution in
favor of ratification were by the

SPECIAL SESSION EXPENSE
WILL BE VERY LIGHT

The cos of the special session Of
the legislature held in Carson last
Saturday exceeded the anticipated
maximum that was expected to V
all cost when the call WAS issued, in
spite of the fact that five only of the
twelve senator's present collected
mileage and none asked for per dienl.
Seventeen assemblymen drew their
mileage warrants and three Of them
demanded and collected their per
diem to which they were entitled.
Mr.. Lockhart subsequently returned
his mileage eheek-the largest one
issued. Up 10 a late hour yesterday
no attaches of either house had made
any claim for pay. The mileage
warrants issued 10 senators totaled
S244.40. The mileage warrants is
sued to assemblymen aggregated
$500 and per diem $4,000, making
a total for that house Of $S25.2O.
Adding the senat figures makes the
total for both houses $1.o69.60. or
S955.00 after deducting Assembly
man Lockhart's returned warrant.
Assemblyman Lockhart of White
Pine county returned 10 the state
treasury the state controllers check
of s1l4.60, issued in payment of his
mileage for attendance at the special
session of the Legislature. This was
the largest mileage check given to
any member who attended the rati-
fieation meeting Saturday.-Carson
