The Medicine that Saves Life

A merciful Providence still keeps the
Fpark of lite in thousands of wasted and
feeble bodies. The fitful, flickering

There is still hope for even those who
are now catching glimpses of the dark

It will strengthen the weak ana
inflamed nerves, rid the body of morbid
waste material, make the blood pure,
and give healthy action to the stomach,

"I can cay to all thai 1 believe Paine's

virtues of the Compound, and I can say
to all who are tired and run down, to

CHICAGO, June 6—After Margaret
Goeln.s bad spent :f;ss for incantations
and a voodoo charm, and still was una
ble to win back her sweetheart, she de
cided that Mrs. Amelia Turner was a
failure as a sorceress. She says that
she faithfully followed all the prescrip.
tlona of the colored soothsayer, even to
the extent of bringing twelve pounds of
chicken to propitiate the spirits. Miss
Goeina now suspects that her chicken
appeased the soothsayer.
Margaret Goeins said In court that un
til a few months ago she and her sweet
heart moved in colored society on the
South side. Then he secured a position
as p;'iter on a Pullman car, and in his.
blue uniform and brass buttons forgot
her.
The first appeal to Mrs. Turner, whom
She had heard of as the "Modern Syco
rax, the fetich doctor from Hindoo." cost
her *10.
Spirit* Miss Train.
The failure of the first incantation
■was expaincd in that it was made when
the recreant one was just starting on a
trip from Chicago, and the spirit mes
sengers could not overtake his Pullman.
The second Incantation was made when
he was returning to Chicago, and the
arou&d spirits were expected to meet his
Pullman and descend on him when his
pockets were full of tips. This failve
waa explained by the soothsayer, who
.••aid that the spirits matured too soon
for her incantations, and that as they
could not cross the drainage canal they
did not meet the right train. She con
tended that they lollowed his course
from the city as far as the bridge over
the canal, whore they awaited his re.
turn. A freight train came along and
the spirits rocTe back to her den on it
instead of the Pullman, which was on
the following train.
When Mrs. Turner declared that a voo
doo charm was necessary tho anxious girl
did not demur. She assisted in the brew
ing of this mystic fetich.

She now believes that the ingredients
were not properly spiritualized, as she

in the brew.

V\IJ.Kr:SBARRE, Pa., June 6.—LaJt
night's shooting had a sobering effect
upon the idle men and boys in this val
ley, and as a result the Wyoming region
was a place of almost absolute peace to
day. There were no parades, marches
or any considerable gathering of persona
and the police authorities of the county
had little more to do than to keep watch.
The Stanton co.Uery, where the shoot
ing occurred, is closed down. Even the
ooa 1 and iron police, with the exception
of four or five, gave up their jobs and
left town as quickly as they could get
out. There were about twenty in the
party, including several colored cooks.
The strikers promised to protect them
to the railroad s-tation if they would leave
the- city. Accordingly, under a strong
guard of mine workers, the ex-policemen
left the colliery and marched to the of
fieea of fee Lehtgb & Wilkesbarre Coal
company, where they received their pay
and transportation. Later the men left
for New York and Philadelphia.

POKER TABL.B ETHICS #
IIOW A CLEVER I'LAVBR BEST A TRAP WITH A MAKKEU ACB %NU
WON THE POT.
There is a great deal of talk among
people who play cards for money," said
Torn Leigh, the veteran actcr, "about
gamblers who play a square game, and
about the difference there is between one
who is honest and one who is not. Now,
of course, there is a foundation f<,r all
this. If there wasn't any I don't gup
pose the talk would be continued n pi r
eistently as it is. but as a matter of fact
it Is mostly rot."
There is little question that Ldgb
knows as much of the seamy side of life
in New York during the last half century
aa the next man, for he was one of the
favorite- actors at the old Bowery theater
before the Civil war, and has kept in
touch with the sporting element of the
community ever since, though advancing
years and rheumatism have made* it diffi
cult for Mm to got around for the last
few months.
He is as ready to talk as ever, and
onoe started on a train of reminiscences
will entertain a group of listeners by the
hour. An inveterate card player himself
he delights in telling of the strange
things things he has seen on the green
baize, but like many other veterans he
has become cynical to a degree in his
judgment of men.
"It is, of course, true that gamblers
differ as other men differ in their per
sonal character," he said, when some one
asked whether all profe.ssional gamblers
were crooked, "and there are men In the
business wboM word of mouth is as good
as another man's bond for any amount of
money they wilf promise to pay.
"Then it is unquestionably true* that
there are bank games that are played on
the square The bank is sure to win in
the long run anyway.
"But when it comes to table games and
short-card playing it is a different ques,
tion altogethcer. The gambler who sits
down with one or two or five or six oth
ers to play draw poker, for example, is
engaging in a contest of individual wits
and has to rely entirely on his personal
skill.
"There is no percentage in his favor in
a square game, and if he plays a perfecly
square game ho is putting himself on an
equality with the man whose money he
is after. The other man may be playing
for fun, or for the excitement of the
game, but he is playing for Just one thing
only, and that la Ihe other man's money.
And the question is: What are the ethics
of gambling as the professional gambler
is bound by them?
"New, in the flrtt place, he is not likely
to be a man who has much regard for any
question of abstract morality. If he had
he^ wouldn't be a gambler.
"He may be intelligent enough to see
tho value of a g vjd reputation, and be
careful enough to pay his debts for th^
sake of maintaining that reputation. To
that extent he knows that honesty is
the best policy, but so far as the game of
poker is concerned, it is not so easy to
see it.
'Take ane extreme case. Suppose a
party to be playing cards and one of the
cards in the deck has some trifling im
perfection. It is, we will say, purely an
accident, and only one man at the table
has happened to notice it.
"Say it is an ace, and he sits next to
the deaKr and sees that ihe ace is the
first card t-ht will come to him in the
draw. With the advantage of this kn.iwl
edse he Is practically certain that he can
raise before the draw and scoop a big
pot.
"Now ihat makes what I call a very
pretty situation, and Id like very well to
get inside of any poker player's brain and
lind out what he'd do if hs found himself
in exactly that position. Of course the
man who should take advantage of it
would be the >retically going outside of
the strict ethics of the game. There's no
chance to repute that.
He would be just aa guilty of sharp
practice as if he had seen his antagonist's
hand and was betting against it knowing
that he could beat It. But my own
private opinion is that there isn't one
man in a thousand w<ho wouldn't take
that ace and play it for all it was worth.
"One of the cleverest plays, and cer
tainly the cleverest counter play I erer
saw. was in a game in Cincinnati a good
many years ago when Andy Fotrhay an.l
Billy Starkweather were finishing a game
that had knocked out four other men
inside of thirty-six hour*.
"There wore six of us that sat down to
play Sunday afternoon and the wind-up
didn't come till long after midnight Mon
day. There were some good players in

that game, too, for I was a dabster at it
in those days, and there wasn't a man at
the table tht couldn't play os well as or
better than 1 could.
"I know I dropped something over five
hundred before I was driven out. and
some of them had more in than I had,
so there must have been $5,000 or $G,OOO
on the table when F'.>sh,i\ got it all by
what I have already said was as pretty
a play as I ever saw.
"I was watching the finish, for I love
to see the game even when I'm not In it.
and I sat stili for over an hour after I
had gone broke. Two or three of t!..
others stayed, too, but whether they saw
it any clearer than I did I can't* say. 1
know that I suspected the whole of It.
tut I wasn't certain about it till I asked
Foshay a year later and he told me I
was right. ,
"He was the biggest winner when I
dropped out, for Starkweather only had
about $2,000 of all the money and Foshay
had the rest, but they played along for
a while winning and losing without either
side getting much the better of it until
Starkweather tried his great trick and
got beaten.
"We had called for a new deck often
enough during the game for the floor to
be covered with the discarded ones, and
even after there were only two players
in the negro h-id to bring fresh cards eviry
little while. It made a little delay, but "a
good gambler never allows himself to be
in a hurry, and they were both afraid of
each other.
"Either one of them could mark a card
while he was playing, or could stack
them when he shuffled, but each one
knew the other was good as he was, and
they were watching each other like cats.
"A new deck was opened and they both
shuffled it as they usually did, and then
Starkweather dealt. As he threw Foshay
his cards I saw the tiniest possible mark
on the edge of one of them that looked
like an almost impreceptible imperfection,
tut which might have been made by a
judicious and skillful pressure with a
finger nail.
"Not one man in a hundred would see
it, I suppose, but I had enough confidence
in Pcphay to be certain that he would
know the back of that card again,
whether Starkweather had marked it pur
posely or not. I kept my eye on It, noting
its position in his hand, and when the
i cards were shown down after a bet and a
call 1 saw that it was the ace of dia
monds.
"There was not much money bet on
that hand, and on Foshay's deal he made
it a Jack pot, passing the carda over to
Starkweather to deal In his turn. Some
how I had a feeling that ;-om»-thinK wis
going to happen, even though I had hot
detected Starkweather in stacking the
cards, and I had been watching them, too,
as elostly as I could.
"When I saw that ace of diamonds on
the top of the deck after the deal and
before the draw, though, I was sure that
there would be something doing. I didn't
at all know what it would be, but it was
dollars to doughnuts that Foehay knew
that he could get an ace by asking for
one card in the draw and there was at
least room to suppose that Starkweather
had intended that he should know it. If
he had Intended it there was no question
about what he proposed to do.
"Foshay looked at tils cards and opened
the pot for the size of it, -which was $10, :
for they were playing $3 jacks, and Stark
weather came back at him with twenty
five more. Foshay looked again, and
considered a moment, and then he said:
" 'Make it another hundred.' .#
"At that Starkweather pretended to do
a lot of thinking, but finally he said:
I " 'Well, I think enough of this hand to
go broke on it if you can beat it.' and
he shoved up all the chips he had in
front of him. It was somewhere near
$2,000, but I don't know exactly how
much.
"This made Foshay study for a long
time. He was a deliberate sort of a cuss,
anyhow, and I could see that he was puz
b'.ing a lot more over Starkweather's
bluff than he was about his own chance,
for I was positive he knew that ace. But
after a long time he said: ; -
'"'l'll have to go you,' and he cov
ered the bet.
"How many cards will you have?' said
Starkweather, and I noticed that there
was a sort of exultation in his voice, as
If he felt sure of the pot, and as there
was no chance to bet any more, because
he had only a show down coming, he
didn't feel any necessity for playing a
part any more.
"To my amazement Fcshap said:
"I'll take three."
, "He said it very deliberately and look
ed at Starkweather when he spoke, as if
he was trying to see clear through him.
That made me look, too, and if there ever
was a man stricken with astonishment
Starkweather was the man.
"It was surprising enough to have a
man call a $2,000 raise on a single pair,
but that of itself wasn't enough to bring
that look in his face. It wa» plain that
he had fully expected to hear something
else, and I made up my mind on the In
stant that ;he knew that Foshay tiad
three aces* in his hand already, or at least
that he believed he had given him three ,
counting on his calling for one alt. r
seeing the marked ac< ready for him.
"Then I wondered what Foshay had .n
