A Boyish Prank That Made It Kcceasary For Ilim to Go West and Grow Fp With tbe Country Member of the Bar Who Tried to Beat the ret Law of the Town. "My eeat in the senate and all I have besides had root in a game of poker." Hci . the senator gazed beuignantly abont iis email audience. He vras in a remiiiisL-ent mood. Ho vras a wise, deep sea little senator, as sapient as ever went into executive session. Kow and then he liked to talk about the past. "It sounds qneerly to say it," the senator continued, "but it was a poker game which lost me to the east and gave mc to the west, to become in time a senator. This is the story : "I was born and brought rp in a town in Kentucky. It was a email town. You could throw a lariat abont the wholo outfit and drag it with a pony. But it was a highly moral town. As a community it had a pet law. It mado a" specialty of enforcing the stat utes against gambling. No games of chunco could thrive, in that community. And no matter what the position in life of an oCender, were he guilty of gam bling ho would be dealt with, gnch was the impartial boast of tho town. Indeed, as one citizen observed : " 'They would admire to catch a judge or praecuticg attorney vicdating tho law merely to demonstrate the Pur itan fairness of local sentiment-' "It was the June term of tho circuit court. There was a crowd of lawyers in town. The judge himself was from dov."n tho Ohio river. During the noon hour a quiet game of poker was talked over as ouo of tho happy methods of passing tho pending evening. The town had a habit of going to bed at 9 o'clock, and it all promised to be graveyard dull to the visiting lawyers and tho judge. Whispored word went about, therefore, that a game f cards, with a meek and lowly limit, would bo a good way to ward off care. But thcro was no place to play. "The hotel would never da A light in any room after 10 o'clock would have provoked tho most baleful surmises and investigation as welL Tho prosecuting attorney was one of the foremost in ar ranging the coming speculation. It was ho who, in the fertility of his nature, suggested the flatboat. His father was proprietor of a flat'ooat of amplo cabin accommodation. Just then it was moor ed, bow and stern, at tho foot of the levee. A conple of games were pro grammed to come off that evening in the cabin of '. flatboat. It would be out of Fight aii!. hearing of the testy littlo burg which made a specialty of punish ing gambling. "It was 10 o'clock. The night was as dark as tho interior of a cow. Two games were going on in tho cabin of tho llatboat. Tho judge, the prosecuting at torney and some, nine members of the bar wcro engaged. It made two nice tables. Evcrylxxly was bending to tho game with all of the nativo ardor of a Kentucky gentleman. It was about this time when, in company with a friend I strolled on tho levee iu tho vicinity of tho llatboat. I was 20 years of age and had no money. Jly friend was equally well fixed, tmr youth and cur poverty forbade anything like poker so far as wo wcro concerned. On discovering tho old folks thus charmingly engaged a tasto to le iinmorens swept over ns. We were law students; they wcro lawyers. That was reason enough for the ji ke. As the boat rose and fell on tbe swell and slack ened the ropes we cast her loose. Silent ly she drifted awav over tho datk bos om of tho river. Tho jovial giimcsters drew and filled and straddled and raised ami called, all unconscious. At 2 o'clock iu tho morning Colonel Stebbins had won f 70. It was in Mexican money, anil ho had sinkcred it about his honest old frame in half a dozen pockets. It wasalnmt all of the money at that table, and Colonel Stebbins concluded ho might better go. Ho murnrared some thing about cold feet and promising his wifo to come up to tho hotel early and arose toga T. he rest jeered mildly and made invidious remarks after the fash ion of losers at poker just as the game break up. But Colonel Stebbins was inflexible. He put on his hat, bid ev crylxxly good uight, stepped out into tho inky darkness and carefully picked nis way overboard. "The water was 20 feet deen. Thosil- ver all but drowned the colonel, how ever. At lat he was fished out and laid across a barrel to evict the Ohio river from his fystem. The whoops and yells of the voyagers at last brought a sleepy Jittietng to their aid. They found them selves 17 miles below the town. For $30 of Colonel Stebbins' gains tho tug towed tho party back. They arrived at 2 o'clock in tho aft ernoon and found the town sullenly lin ing the leveo waiting for them. They were one and all promptly indicted. In the frank enthusiasm of youth my friend and I related how wo had cast these poker games adrift on the Ohio. We made a grave mistake when wo told this story. Publicly we were threatened with indictment; privately we were menaced with death by the centlemen we had betrayed to the river. We took counsel of our woes and without await ing tho worst went west This was all long ago ib years ago. My partner in sin is now a United States judge, while I am in the senate. We often dis cuss onr destinies and lay everything to mat iiatpoat poker game." Washing ton Post.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Lewis, of Cable, were here last week. Richard Trevor, of South Moline, veterinary surgeon, was here Mon day. The county house has 113 inmates an unusual number for this time of year. Conductor James Hampsen and lady were here Sunday from Cock island. Mrs. Jesse Kerns returned Monday from Washington, Iowa, where she attended the funeral of a relative. F. C. Killing started his thresher the 23d. One field of oats made 20 bushels per acre, and another 15. Ihe straw is short and does not make much bulk. A couple of boys from this vicinity left their homes rather suddenly Sunday. Nothing has been heard of them, and the cause of their leaving is a mystery. The news appeared in a Rockford paper that Airs. AI. L. I'mklev at tempted to take the life of her hus band, being in a demented state of mind. They formerly lived here. The protracted meetings ilsed rriuav evening. ihev created a great interest. Communion was ad ministered on hc Sabbath, when six persons were admitted to member ship, as a result of the meetings. The report, which seems to be au thentic, is that MissMary Brown died in southern California a short time ago. She was for many years a resi dent here and taught in our schools. She was residing with two of her brothers at the time of her demise. The ball game Friday between the Coal Valley nine and the Cables at this placo was one ot the best that has been played here. The score was close 0 for Coal Valley and 8 for Cable. It was followed in the evening by a dance, which ceased at early dawn. The Coal Valley club will play at Cable Friday, the 26th. against the Mercer County club. It will be a closely contested game, as there will be players on both sides who have been champions in previous matches. But Coal Valley has a reputation, and will doubtless do its best to re tain it. Charles Evener, while shaking out hay on the Evener farm, was bitten by a rattlesnake. He came to Coal Valley and had his injury at tended to by Dr. Myers, he" was quite sick a few hours afterward, but the treatment seemed to arrest the poison, so that he will soon be over its effects.
