HE KNEW HIM
Old Man Greenhut Had Seen the New
Methodist Preacher Before.

"I reckon there ain't no man what's tot
any kind nf a thinker as liasn t 1 wo'nlted
ftequent. how much more superior di.iw
poker la to any other form o' scientific odili-
catlon or religious tralf.ln" said old man
dreenhut as he stood behind his bar medi-
tating. "They was tellln' nit." he continued aft'r
a little pause "about this new preacher t s
come for to watch over the Methodis' con-
gregation f'r the comln' year lie's br ing
his own Jug- with him. I believe ah' 'tain t
to be xpected 't he'll call here till that runs
dry 'n' that d pends on how cap hie a drinker
he is.- Tain t likely 'I he'll be iuin. thouglv
fr he's ben here nigh a week now. O'
course there ain't nothin' In the fact of a

rect onto the subject C draw poker 'thou'en
It's because It put me in mind o' Zek I Slo-
cum D. D. what waa the first sky pilot 1
ever got to know Intimate."
"Some o' the boya up to the store was
sayin' 't thla here new preacher's name was
Bloeum" observed Sam Pearsall Indiffer-
ently. "Well." said the old man "theres differ-
ent Slocuma 'round."
"The postmaster was tellln' me." said Joe
Basset t "as how there was somepin' queer
about this one Judgin f'm a letter t come
for him 'tother day. Pears his name Is Zek' I
an' his middle India's is wrote after his
name 'stead o' beln put Inside reg lar like
1 forget what they w; s."
Old man Greenhut lo iked at the big sheriff
somewhat doubtfully for a few moments as
If trying to determine whether he was speak-
ing in good faith. T: en he shook his Head
slowly and said "Mor ' a likely It s the same
nan. Pears like hi name was Dabney.
though when I knowt i him afore. I reckon
I must 'a' misrememl ered somehow count
o' the sound beln' mis' adln'. This here Pab-
ney front name o' Sat mel was the sperrit.ii
guide of a small gang a' believers in Green-
ville where I was tei lln' bar a number o'
years ago.
"Him an' me got we 1 acquainted as 'pear-
ed to be natural 'cot. it o" him most gen'ly
comln' In late fr his oose when everybody
else had gone. Reasor he come late he said
was 'count o' not wak'nln' his influence
with his flock. Losln hla influence he said
'd likely mean losln' 1 is Job an' savin' souls
was all s he was fit for not havln no prac-
tical eddicatlon.
"More n likely he were right about not
beln' properly eddica.ed f'r he sure were as-
lunlshin' ignorant o' me things but he had
cousid'able natural talents."
Just here the old man seemed to tire of
standing and he opened a fresh box of cigars.
Selecting the blackst and fattest one he
could find he lighted it and crossed to his
favorite seat by ih window.
Then he said: "1 reckon it was this here
Dabney front name o' Samuel aa give me
the first geni idess t I ever had o' the true
ineanln' o draw poker. Pears he hadn t
played it a torrlble lot but he'd give cm-
sld able study to It. an' he'd ask me all soru
o' questions about tue way they ployed It in
our back room wrucu there wa'n't no place
In Greenville where thtre wen a more
scientific garao played.
"Well he'd set an' ask questions an set
an' think an' then set an' ask more ques-
tions an' then set an' think some more
till I sure would a' got weary on' f'r him
beln' a tol able good customer an beln a
leadln' citlsen. too. So I'd tell him all about
the p'colarities o' the game.
"He kep' this up Tr a considable spell
an' one night when I'd g'H plumb tired o
tellln things any self-respeciln' young
feller d 'xpect to know f'r hiiwef he sudden
let loose a mess o' learnln an' wisdom.
" This here game o draw poker. Ureen-
hut' he says to me ' 'pears to open up a
most amailn' heap o' possibilities In front
of a man as goes ut It Intelligent like an I
told him 1 reckoned there w a n t much doubt
o' that. I hadn't no pers'nal Interest Into
the game the boss was runnin'. an I dldn t
see no reason whv 1 sh'd encourage this
here babe o' grace to set In an' feed the
cinunity with money 't he didn't have none
too mu"h of.
"But he p'ceeded methodical like to lay
down the principles o' poker some llkn he
was preachln' a sermon an' 'fore he'd said
a heap he had me llstenln' with several
ears. Draw poker 'pears to me' he says
like it was the chosen instrument in the
hands o' Providence rr to p vide a excellent
llvln' f r a Intellectual man so's be don t
g.t run away with long o' bein' a man
with a taste f'r giimbiin'. Draw poker he
sa'vs is a spo t or a business or a fine an
cordin' to how you take It an' 'cordln' to
the gifts o' the man t s playin' an them
three things fits in together like the va-
rious onr-cuniilnble facts in the Good Rook.
If you see em right they hang together.
If you don't. yn-J urni l b'lieve em.'
"Then he p'ceeded to preach his sermtn.
firstly.' lie savs. it's a spot to them as
has mont v to feed fish with an' Is a expedi-
tious nieaYis o' puttln'. that same money in
circulation. Secondly It's a business to
them as P viries. the facilities fr players to
play an' looks out careful f'r the kitty. An
In tills oonne. tion; my brethren. I c'n see
Hold on" I says '1 ain't your brother;
n"t yet.'
"So he liuiiths. an' says 'That s so I
thought 1 was n the pulpit. I haln t had
stch a insptrln text f'r some lime. But
as I was savin in this connection 1 c n see
how there d b" gre't business opportunities
f m time to tlm- in the way u' stakln' a
artist ag in a spo t. an' standln' in.
" 'Then thirdly he says 'draw poker is a
fine art to them that plays It with under-
standin'. Put them kind has to be gifted
an' niure'n that they has to be them that s
wtllin' to devote th-irselvee to it.
''Now. the obj.ct o' the spot o cose
Is to get all tli excitement he can fr m the
game an- It s altogether right t he sh d
pay f'r it. An he object o' the business
Dian Is to get his t ventage outen the game
as Is proper. An the object o' the artist Is
to get the other Horn's money.'
' T co se beln' :t preacher he said a heap
more'n that. As I remember he talked f r
half a hour or so. hut that was the nubbins.
So I says It is ail Interestln' an' had ought
for to he insti m '. .e on'y 't I dldn t see
clear how 1 was r.i get no special personal

Mrs. Celeste

Mrs. Celeste Covell formerly President of the Betsy Rom Educational

"Only those who have suffered with lnflnenM and hav been cored can

Mrs. Alice J. Bordner 1311 Maple Ave.

"I have found a cure In Peruna. I can

A Letter to the Public.
Mr. Tefft Johnson 19IS 85th street Bath
Beach. Brooklyn X. Y.. writes:
"In all my experiments with medicines In
the effort to Improve a condition impaired
was worth an' we divided an' I left. An' t
ain't saw Dabney first name o' Samuel.
since."
The hour was late and old man Green-
hut realised that no more customers were
likely to come In. He knew also that
the men who were sitting around still busy
with their tobacco would not go home till
he closed up. So after thinking awhile he
threw away the stump of hla cigar and
arose from his chair.
Just then the door opened and a tall man
In clerical attire came In with a Jug in his
hand and a conciliatory smile on his face.
"I was asking one of the orethren In the
church" he said "where I could procure a
little of the stimulant I am obliged to take
for my stomach's sake and he told me
Greenhut's was the place. Why. God bless
me are you the Greenhut I used to know In
Greenville many years ago?"
Old man Greenhut did not resnond readily.
"1 knowed a Methodist preacher In Green-
ville. Dabney. front name 0' Samuel 't
favored you somo. but they tell me your
name Is Slocum. D. D. 'Taln't likely you're
the same one. This here Dabney came to b?
a mighty slick poker player."
Rev. Mr. Sloeum'a smile grew broader.
"I'm the man" he said. "You've mixed
up the names somehow. Yes I certainly
did take an Interest a purely academic in-
terestin the game of draw poker but I
haven't touched a card for years. I found
that I could make more In a night playing
poker than I could In a year saving souls
but I could make more In a year sticking
to mv own business. You know a poker
pla'ver no matter how good he Is. is always
liable to meet somebody that's better than
he Is."
"That's so" said Joe Bassett. breaking
into the conversation abruptly "an' I'd ne
delighted for one to have a game o' draw
with any man as c'n plav such poker as
this here Dnbnev 't Greenhut's been tellln

Old man Greenhut had gone nround behind
his bar by this time and as the stranger
turned to speak to Bassett. the old man
could be seen making frantic gestures of
warning to the nrrogant shfrifr. Bassett
however ignored them and the stranger did
not see them.

"All right." said Joe. and he strode to the
har for the cards and chips. "Keep your
trap rhiit." he whispered to Greenhut. "I'v
heard of this m;m and it's up to me to ex-
prse him."
Greenhut said nothing but he shook his

CHINESE CUT THEIR QUEUES
Burgeon-in-Chief of Imperial Navy Has
Made the Declaration.
(From the San Francisco Chronicle.)
The greatest change that has ever hap-
pened In the customs of a people is now
going on In China. The ancient and honor-
able pigtails Is being cut from the heads of
government officials high and low. The
merchants and professional men are cutting
it off likewise and even the Son of Heaven
himself has paid a visit to the barber and Is
now bereft of the sublime appendage which
his subjects were wont to venerate.
The sutnority for these statements is
Captain Ho Kan Yuen surgeon in chief ot
thfc Imperial Chinese uavy who Is at the head
oi a party of Chinese officials at the St.
Francis hotel. Among the members of the
parly are Dr. S. W. Tschen wno ranks as
captain In the Chinese army and two stu-
dents Chen Shea Ylng and fell Fong Teh
who are to enter the United States naval
academy at Annapolis.
Dr. Ho Kan Yuen and Dr. S. W. Tschen
are the official representatives appointed by
the Chinese government to uttend the con-
ference of military and naval surgeons which
will be held at Buffalo next month. An ef-
fort Is to be made at this conlerence which
will be attended by military and naval sur-
geons from all parts of the world to form
an International association and arrange for
regular conventions at which the progress
and the problems of the profession may be
considered.
Speaking of the present conditions In China
Dr. Ho Kan Yuen said:
"At present the whole Chinese people aro
undergoing what perhaps is to lie the great-
est social and political reform In history. All
the better classes of Chinese are determined
on the accomplishment of these reforms.
Schools have been established all over the
country and while It may take a generation
to educate the people to that point when
they wlll see the folly of the old superstitions
that have ruled the masses in China for
thousands of years we are determined to do
It. One of the most significant features of
the present movement Is the cutting off of
pigtails which have always been worn In
our country. Officials of the government
have taken the Initiative In this movement."!
ihe merchants and business men are follow-
ing the example and within a few years 1 ex-
pect that the masses nf the people the Chi-
nese farmers and coolies will cut their pig-
tails off too.
"In the army and nnvy many reforms
have already been inaugurated. Wc already
have 70O.(mi) men In our army who have been
thoroughly drilled In modern tactics under
the ucw army regulations."
