An Arkansas Father's Advica to His Son.
" Bob, you are about leaving home for
strange parts. lou are going to tnrow
me out of the game and go it alone. The
odds are agin you Bob remember that
industry and perseverance are the win
ning cards, as they ara the 'bowers.'
Book learning, ana an in at son oi ming,
will do to fill un with, like small trumps,
and you must have the bowers to back
them or they ain't worth shucks. If luck
IS Bgin joa prviijr eiruiig, uuu . uatv auu
look like a aick chicken on a rainy day,
but hold on Tour head and make believe
you are flush of trumps; they don't play
- . , , i i
so bard agin you. i ve uvea ana iraveieu
around some, Bob, and I've found out
that as soon as folks thought you held a
weak hand, they'd all buck agin you
strong. So, when you're sorter weak,
keep on a bold front ; but play cautious;
be satisfied with a p int Many's the
hand I've aeen 'em eucred cause they
played for too much. Keep your eyes
well skinned, Bob; don't let 'em nig
you ; recellect the gome lays as much
with the head as with the hands. Be
temperate: never get drunk, for then no
matter how good your hand, yoa won't
know how to play it; both bowers and
the ace won't save you ; for there'a sur
tin to be a " miss deal," or fiomething
wrong. And another thing, Bob, (this
was spoken in n low tonej don't go too
much on women; queens is kinder poor
cards; the more you have of 'em the
worse for yon; you might have three,
and nary a trump. I don't say discard
'eml all; if yon get one that is a trump
its all good, and there's aartin to be one
out of tour. And above all, Bobbe hon
est; never take a man'a trick what don't
belong to you, nor 'slip' cards or
nig,' for then yon can't look your man
in the faofi, and when that's the case,
thm'a no fun in the Kama: it's a regu
lar ' cut-throat' So now, Bob, farewell ;
remember whot I tell yon.
nd you'll be J
sure to win ; and if y
yon right, it yoa get '
sure to win ; and you aon t, it sarves

morning of three to eight hundred ten
cent loaves of bread to whoever would
call for them. Once when flour was high,
and the bakers reduced the size of their
loaves, Mr. Longworth thought he would
be doing his beneficiaries a good turn by
having them made part of rye, and thus
considerably enlarging their size. His
customers, however, as soon as they
found it out, raised such a cjumor, and
called him so many disparaging names,
and annoyed him so inncli with their
threats and complaints, that he was glnd
to return to the pure wheat.
Once, on a very warm day, the old
gentleman, having to wait for a friend,
sat down on a stone just outside of his
own gate, took off bis hat and, cloning his
eyes, dozed a little; when he gut up he
found a silver quarter in biahiit. Whether
it was put there by some one who really
thought he was an object of, charity, or
by a wag, the old man appreciated the
joke, and with smile put it into the
pocket out of which had to come 10.000
for annual taxes. , .
Why is the separation of lovers likij n
piece of bread? lt'saparf.
Why is the wharf on a rainy day like
a wedding feast 1 It is a banquet (bank
wet).
Why is a drunkard like a flag-stnff?
He usually has a flag-on.
