_B>ALVK-E.D_A JOKE AND . WON.
now a Bgnker Heirs"... Cards at Poker,
‘ Swallowing the Extra One.

The west is a great place for poker

playing, and'some of the largest jack '

pots ever opened have been west of
the Mississippi river. In the early and
halcyon days of Colorado, Nevada and
California, when everybody Was either
prospecting for gold or speculating in
real estate, money was very plentiful,
and much of it was spent 'with an
abandon that would have done credit
to the count of Monte Cristo. Pretty
nearly everyone gambled more or less,
and poker was always the favorite
game, from Ah Sin up to the bonanza
kings. ‘

One of the best business blocks in

'the city of Denver is or was owned by

a man who laid ,the foundation to a
big fortune with money won at cards,
and many of the high rollers who
have taken a hand in the games where
he held cards have quit sadder but
wiser by reason of their experience.
When Denver was but a small place it
was the rendezvous for many skilled
players. There was a banker there at
that time named Cook, “who had an
abundance of cash and who could
handle the cards like an expert.
J erome B. Chafiee, at one time United
States ' senator from Colorado, with
two or three others who used to play
with Cook a great deal, concocted a

I little scheme by which they figured

they could have a great deal of fun at
Cook's expense and at the same time
get a champagne supper out of him.
So Chafiee and his companions, who

- had plenty of money and who had suf-

fered financially by being caught in a
good many jack-pots that Cook had
opened, arranged among themselves
that the very next time they played
with Cook they would show him a
trick he would not forget in a hurry.

The cards were dealt and several
hands played around, when at last
Chafiee opened a jack-pot On three
kings. Cook stayed on a pair of jacks
and called for three cards. He got
four aces. It then dawned upon him
that something must be up, but he did
not quite graSp the situation. Chafiee
called for two cards and bet the limit.

. Cook raised him and they had it back

and forth.- The others dropped out
after several rounds just to swell the
pot. The betting continued until at
last there was an even ten thousand

'dollars in the pot, when Chaffee Called

him and made him show down his
cards.

Cook threw four aces and a jack on
the table and started to rake in the
pot. The one who had dealt objected,
stating that he saw Cook have six cards
in his hand. The others at once in-
sisted that they saw him have six cards.
“Prove it, then,” “cried Cook. “1 did
not deal; you dealt, and if he gave me
six cards, where are they?"

Chafiee and his companions at once
inaugurated the most rigid search for
the missing jack. They looked under
tables, in drawers—everywhere a card
could possibly get. They made Cook
disrobe, which he did without objec-
tion, and subjected him to the most
rigid examination, but the card could
not possibly be found anywhere. This
wasastunner. Cook had not moved
during the game, and'they were sure
of the six cards, but where was the
other jack? At all events, it was not
to be found, and Cook asserted that he
had but five cards, and expressed the
greatest indignation at their doubts,
and hung on to the money like grim
death. To say that the would-be
jokers were crestfallen would be
putting it mildly. It was not so funny
as they had figured it would be. They
went out and gave vent to their feel-
ings by first swearing and then laugh-
ing at the way Cook had turned the
tables on them.

Cook, as he used to relate after-
ward with great glee, got the six cards
all right, but under cover of taking a
chew of fine-cut tobacco, of which he
was very fond, got the extra jack in
his mouth, chewed it to a pulp and
swallowed it, tobacco and all. He said
he guessed he could risk a little paste-
board for ten thousand dollars, even if
it did make him a little sick. At any
rate, he thought the other fellows 'were
sicker than he was—Philadelphia

 

 

Discontented Children.

Parents sometimes complain that
their boys and «girls would rather
spend their evenings anywhere else
than at home, and want advice as to
the best method of curing such an evil.
When we read such a complaint, it al-
ways occurs to us that the chief trouble
may lie in the fact that they do not
make home a pleasant place for their
children. Is it cheerful at the hearth
and at the table? Does the father
strive to make home bright and happy,
or is he silent, moody and unsociable?
Are his children furnished With a proper
supply of books, papers, magazines,
and such other means of amusement
and improvement as their natures re-
quire? Does the mother make friends
and confidantes of her daughters, or
does she merely‘ dole out to them food
and clothing? Do the parents, in
short, sympathize in the joys and griefs,
the hOpes and fears of their children,
or do théy ignore all that is most
essential to the happiness and genial
culture of childhood? Whenever par-

- ents find that their offsprings are be

ginning to prefer any other place be-
fore home, let them ask themselves
these questions‘, and they may discover
the secret of their children’s unfortu-
n‘ate preferences—N. Y. Ledger.

THE" OYSTER. .

Several Excellent Methods of Cooking the
Popular‘Bivalve. ' .

With the early days of September
plump well-flavored oysters are once
more seen in the" market, and the fol.-
lowing are a few excellent-modes of
preparing the popular bivalve for the
table: .

OYSTER BISQUE. ‘

Oyster bisque is delicious. One pint
of chicken or veal 'stock (the liquor in
which chickens have been boiléd is ex-
cellent for this purpose); one pint of
oysters, one cup of milk, two eggs,
salt, pepper, chopped parsley, one
heaping cup of bread crumbs and one
great spoonful of butter rubbed in one
of flour. Strain the stock and set over
the fire with the crumbs in a farina
kettle. In .nother vessel heat the
oyster liquo ‘ nd when it simmers add
the oysters chopped fine; cook all
twenty minutes. ‘In a third vessel
scald the milk, stir into this the floured
butter, boil up sharply and pour upon
the beaten eggs; set in hot water while'
you turn the oysters and liquor into
the kettle containing the stock and
crumbs and cook together before put.-
ting in the parsley and other season-
ing. Finally pour in milk and eggs,
after which the soup must not boil, but
stand in hot water three minutes.
Serve promptly in a hot tureen.

PANNED orsrnns.

For panning oysters in the following _

way, use patty pans, scallop plates or
small, deep china saucers. Cut pieces
of thin toast to fill the bottom, butter
them well, pour a tablespoonful of
well-seasoned oyster juice upon each
piece, dip the oysters in their liquor
and put a double layer of them upon
each piece of toast. Place a morsel of
butter upon the top, put all into a bak-
ing pan, cover and set in a quick oven
to bake eight or ten minutes. Serve
with small bits of lemon to each pan.
A LUNCHEON DISH.»

A tasty dish for luncheon is made
thus: Upona very fine wire gridiron
place some slices of salt pork out very
thin; on each slice lay a good-sized
oyster or ,two small ones; broil, and
serve hot with fried parsley, coffee,
crisp toast and chopped cabbage.

' GRILLED OYSTERS.

To grill oysters have the griddle
heated some time before using. When
ready, just touch the griddle all over
with butter or fat bacon tied up in a
clean white rag. Lay the oysters care~
fully on the hot surface with a spoon
and turn with a spoon. The whole
secret of good grilled as well as
panned oysters is to have them dry as
dry can be before cooking.

_ DEVILED orsrnns. -

To devil oysters take fifty blanched
oysters, four ounces of butter, one
tablespoonful of flour, one tablespoon-
ful of fine cracker dust, one salt-Spoon-
ful salt, one half tablespoonful dry
mustard. Rub the butter and flour to
a smooth cream. Put the juice of the
oysters into a sauce pan. Set over a
clear fire, stir in the butter and flour,
add the other ingredients, with the ex-
ception of the oysters, and bring to a
boil; then put in the oysters, takeoff
the fire, let stand a minute, and pour
into a hot tureen and serve.

IN THE SHELL. ,

To devil oysters in their shells, select
large ones and when opened keep them
in their deep shells with their liquor.
Place the shells on a gridiron, seaSon
with cayenne pepper and salt, placing
a small piece of butter on the top of
each Oyster. Have your fire bright
and a few minutes will suffice to cook
them. . »

Chopped oysters and cucumbers in
mayonnaise is served with fish.

Fried oysters make a garnish for
baked fish. They should be fried per-
fectly brown on both sides and be ar-
ranged around the fish on the platter.

| OYSTER SALAD.

' Cut a quart of oysters into bits, mix
them with two-thirds as much blanched
tender celery, also cut, not chopped.
Put in a glass dish and pour over it a
good mayonnaise dressing and serve
immediately. Until the oysters and
celery are mixed, keep both in a very
cold place.-—-Detroit Free Press.

 

FREE OF BLoo‘b.
Remarkable Optical Experiment 01.111-
terest to Auatomists Generally.

The most wonderful optical experi-
ment known to the 'eye experts is that
which produces the ."blood tree,” or
“the arborescent figure ‘of Purkinje.”
Itis a very simple and entertaining
experiment and one from which no
possible harm to the eye can result.
The experiment is an optical: delusion
in which the retina of the eye and all
the blood vessels connected therewith
appear to stand out in the air in such
a manner that the experimenter has a
splendid view of them.

Purkinje, the great Optician, acci-.
dentally made this discovery of the
“blood tree,” or “arborescent figure,”
which bears his name, several years
ago, and since his time it has been
used in thousands of test experiments.
The projected image is called the “ar-
borescent figure” because of its re-
semblance to a many-branched tree,
and is produced in the following man-
ner: Shut yourself up in a dark room
at night and move 'a candle back and
forth very rapidly before the eyes.
After a few seconds the air surrounds

ing the candle will assume a deep pink. '

or reddish color, which rapidly takes
upon itself the appearance of a sea of
blood. Over this red background ram-
ifying in all directions may be seen the
veins and blood vessels standing out
in bold relief, while toward the center
of the ‘figure there appears a ‘dark,
trunk- like line which serves as a
“body”. for your “tree of blood,” the
trunk ' being most plainly viSible
where the optic nerve enters the eye.

This experiment. is chiefly interest-
ing because it proves that the parts of
the retina which actually receive im-
pressions and produce sensations must
lie behind the blood vessels, since these
cast their shadows upon it and enable
the e‘xperim’éhter to see them as plain?
ly‘as he does any other external ob-

Is Better Than Two ~Afterwards—
A Chance to Profit by a Boston
. Man’s Experience.
(From the Boston Herald )2

It’s a strange thing how peeple will
put away an opportunity until too late;

it’s only little thlhgs that go to makeup

our every day existence; the trouble is
we don‘t pay suflicient attention ” to

them. “A wink ‘to the wise may be

sufficient,” but sometimes We don’t get
that Wink: and we are not all Wise.
Now, for instance: Backnche is a little

thing. Sometimes ithomes after a hard .

day’s work, or a slight cold. It will
pass off, you say; it’s only the result of
overtaxlng my back. This is ’where
you are wrong. It isn’t the fault of
your back, but your kidneys. The
exert§on_ or straining has" interfered
Wlth- heir delicate mechanism. You
call it backache, but it really is kidney
ache. . If the kidneys are not relieved,
chrome disorders set in, and this is
where the “little thing” should not be
passed over. .

. A Boston man has learned to appre-
ciate what delay means. We refer to J.
H. Mathews, who resides at No. 4 Gar-
land St. This is how he speaks about
it: “ Some eight years ago I had a had
fall which rendered my back lame and
sore. I was not surprised at this, as
my accident was a bad one, but as time
went on my back did not appear to im-
prove, and I wondered at it. I never
seemed toget perfectly .well. It would
hurt me to stoop over or lift anything
heavy. I suffered with dull headaches;
colds, drafts. and even dampness had
immediate effect on my back. I was
always looking for a remedy for my ills.
At last I found it. I got a box of
Doan’s Kidney. Pills at Bradbury’s
Drug Store. on Washington St. They
were highly recommended, and I be-
gan their use at once. Their action
was “like unto magic,” and day by day
the pain began to lessen in my back I
am glad to give the public the benefit
of my experience. Dean’s Kidney Pills
are excellent medicine, and strike right
at the paint of the kidney troubles.”

all dealers, price 50 cents. mailed by
