"Thou that's holt up to be tho wisest
If sometimes the ones what c'n Is?
d'pendod onto fo' to act plumb foolish
when It comes to a 'mergoncy," said
old man flrcetilnw ns one who rumi
nates. "They wa'n't bia three on V:n
In Sodoman Tomorrali. 'cordln' to tho
Hood Book, nn' look nt what they done,
'(earn what Lot an hl wife dime
wa'ned Vm how they was a heap o'
trouble comln', un' Lot says what lilm
nn' Mis' LcOt was KWlne.down Into the.
wilderness fo" to sit away till u'-.tr tho
d'sturbanoo blowed over.
"Uut them three reckoned they
knowed a trick wuth two o' that, an'
look what they done! They was some
prominent In the c'munlty at that, an'
'peurs like they'd ought fo' to knowed
better. They didn't notimly have but
one nanio Kick In the dark ages when
this yer done happened, an' them three
wax named Athos, Porthos an' Abnl
nego. Lawd knows how they come to
have Bleb enr'ous names, bin 'pears like
they wa'n't nobody much better off
them days.
"Well, they was e'nsld'ahle blgglty.
like them that has a repytutlon fo' beln'
-n hell roarln' wle gen'ly Is. an' 'stead
o' goln' with AtlsUr an' Alis Lot down
In Hit- wilderness, where thclil 'a' been
some safe fo' a spell nnyvviiy.'Jhey done
went to sea In a bowl an' was fetched
back un' chucked Into a tier' furnace
what was het up seven times as hot ns
It could be het.
Having said so much, the old man
raused to select a fresh cigar from a
box which he produced from behind the
liar In his little saloon In Arkansas City,
und having lighted It he smoked a while
In ullence, seemingly lost In contempla
tion of the melancholy fnte of the un
lucky three.
"I done hfcr'd n nigger preacher tell
fomepln' about that In camp meetln',"
paid fc'am IVarsall aftr an interval.
"but 's nigh 's o'n rec'KsH tlie lit thin he onilertook, outelilen pouer. nut
fatnbly didn't make out no better 'n the i fallln' down bad In ioker. 'long o' not

nfo' long. 1 ilunuo whether lt step"
on the pillow or not," he added a' one
who has doubts but does nn'j allow llietu
to trouble him greatly
That's what they done said." ad-1
inlttvil the old man rather unwillingly
as It seemed, "but thut wa'n't no ways
'mpo'tnnt. beln' 's she wa'n'. nothln'
but a woman, r.oh-.w."
"The was c'nsid'able many queer .
things did them dayp, 'cordln' to what .
1 been told," said .lake Wlnterbottom, '
"but I sure took no gre't Int lest Into
'em. 'Dears like we men Is got enough
U think about with whuC- beln' did '
now, 'thotiten glttln' het up ov. r what's
flone bel li did afo' ue ns thouglit of." j
"That ain't the p'Int," said old mail i
Iteen.aw. with .1; air of supt-rlorlty.
"They wouldn't 1e no moral les-ons to
lc imt if 'la n't fo' knowln' what .
is did In the middle ages."
Well, this yer story yo' all is tellin'
'pears to bo some entertainln'," said
.lov Ii.ii.sett. "but I don't s e no gre't
moral lesson Into It. 'IVars like It
Kat(ers too much."
"Aloral is how they ain't no sense In
!en so all tired wise,'" slid the old man.
"If Atho, lor(hos an' Abedncgo hndn't
knowed so much mo' 'n they reckoned
tluy did likely they might 'a' listened to (
reason, but them that knows It nil don't i
pen'ly know nothln'! I'uts me In mind
of old Deacon Ibesly ' Creenvillo."
Sam IVarsall left (he room. I
"The deacon was ono o' them what
they couldn't notxidy tell hltn nothln'.

things out from dine (o (ime. when they
van't nothln' dlddln" tit (he tavern,

"Kvn at thut, he was e'nsld'ahle of

market afo the wah, an' o' co'se they
wa'n't nobody had no "pinion, of him

'twa'n't reckoned respectable fo' to sell

"Just niicliully I stood to lose money
when a good customer went broke, nn' I
I didn't p'ikjsc fo' them yaps to set In j
the back room an' Bit the hull o' tho
deacon's wad, none on 'em lieln' any
slch spenders ns ho was, so 1 otidertook
to Rive him some p'lnts on tho game,
but 'twa'n't no good.
"I done watched hltn play first off fo'
a spell, an' It didn't took no time to
speak of fo' to understand how 'twas
ho was losin' steady. 'Peared like he
had a fool notion how a flush was nigh
"j-:i:t -!ie on'y thing they was In tho
same what was wuth drawln' to. He
done pulled fo' a flush nigh 'bout ev'ry
hand, no ttiattcr what the prospects was
an' naehully he didn't till frequent.
"C eo'se. If a man has a fo' (lush to
begin with th' ain't gen'ly but two things
to do. Ono on 'em Is to lay down an'
t'other Is to pull fo' It. tint Deacon
Ileesly, he wouldn't lay down a fo' lluslt
ivj qulcker'n nnybody else 'd lay down
fo' tens, even If the odds In the bettln'
was dead ag'ln him. An' he drawod to
three Hushes nigh 'bout as reg'lar 's
he ot his breakfast.
"I've even saw him call to" three
cyards to two of a suit If they was blg
ger'n n seven spot. An' Just nnchu'.ly
ho didn't git ahead no gret.
"When seen how that was his Idee
o' poker 1 done reasoned with him somo
strenlous. 'Deacon,' I says, 'a Hush
ain't the on'y baud in the deck, an'
'tnln't the nvst vnl'nble at that. When
yo' nil gits two pair fo 'sample they Is
mo chance o' makln' a full Into the
draw 'n they Is o' tlllln' a Hush a'ter
spllttln' both pair, an' a full Is a better
hand 'n a Hush, p'vldln' yo' git either
one on" em. Wotlnell's the good o'
playln' fo' flushes c'tlnlal?'
"Hut be couldn't see It. 'A Hush Is a
mighty good hard.' he is. '(' co'e It
c'n be beat same's nnythln' e1e short
of n royal, but It's a heap better'n the
av'rage. 1 reckon If a man e'd git a
flush ev'ry deal, he e'd git rich playln".
An b sides, a tluh Is a pretty nana.
1 like to look at 'em."
"I seen I'd have to humor him some
If 1 was to stand any chanst o' doln' him
any good: so 1 says. 'Yes,' 1 says, ".t's
pretty, but "taint as pretty us a straight

"Well

that, but that's what he done, nn' he
wa'n't no bo'n fool, neither, even if be

"F"m that time on he never drawed

never missed a chati"t o drawln' fo'

M'eared like spades was his fav'rite

a Pays fo' a straight IUih. Didn't make I

wouldn't never do no mo" 'n call on tt. ,

"Must naehully he done kep' on losin',

to lose faith In the Idee, but the Deacon

Ito had a etew Jest ready and he dished a

was probably salted and corned hor.o
meat. So llrmly fixed was this suspicion
that the name harness cask was uni
versally applied to tho barrel of salt beef
when unheaded and lashed to ringbolts
Just abaft tho galley where It was handy

with undoubted l.icunm;
"They treatM you with harsh abuse,
They've corned you down for sailor's use.

I When John Kdwln, the comedian, eras
trumping through the South of Ireland
on a professional tour with three others!
they requested him, It v.-g Sund ty
morning, to favor them nith a discourse
suitable to the day. lie began as follows:
In the fifth chapter of Job seventh
verse, you will find these words; "Alan
Is horn unto trouble, as the sparks fly
upward." I shall divide this discourse
and consider It under the thie following
hearts: Pint, a man's Ingress into the
world; secondly, .1 man's progress through
the world, and, third, his egress out of the
world.
F'lrst, a man's ineress Into the world Is
naked and bare ;
Second, his progress through the world
Is trouble and care;
Third, and his egress out of the world

Two hearts. The hand Is a my down
for that, and such strong coniblnaltons
should always he "shout" bids, so m
to advise the partner that the player
wants to have (lut suit for the trump,
no mutter what the partner holds. Many
make the mistake of calling no trumps
on th.se hands, overlooking the danger
of the weakness In both clubs and dia
monds with an une-stabllshed long heart

I. tl. Ir. says: Our club wants to start
a duplicate tournament among twelve
members. How shall we arrange theni so
that each shall have fach for a partner
and play against all the others'
The usual plan Is to have four deals
at each table with each combination of
