A Fmv Hriiiiirks About tlm
(litmn of I'okrr.
The ordinary American citizen who
hasn't got at least one good poker story 011
the end of his Imiguu ought to be n lit can
didate fur 11 illtnti museum. There are
probably more stories rife about tills par
ticular Kamti Minn almost any other sub
ject, because, lU a matter of fact, poker
brings into play about every emotion that
Is common to humanity. When you play
noker with a man all of his characteristics
nru brought nt onee Into bold relief. You
can tell whether hu Is bravo or cowardly,
whether ho Is inciin or generous, whether
Ihi Is quick or slow, whether lie is open or
shut, whether lie Is honest or dishonest,
whether lie is Iruu or false. You can toll
what kind of 11 lover ha makes. You can
place him aiming husband. You can tell
to 11 hair Just how much nerve he has, nud
In short you can know him better than lu
any oilier way.
Tlm best telescope in tho world (o ex
amine a man's soul with Is his pocket, ami
nobody ever plays poker except for money.
It is 11 giiuihlluu game, pure and simple,
ami tho moment the cash element is
thrown out of It it loses all Interest. "I
llku to pity poker Just for (ho fun of It,"
savsime. "1 don't want (he limit lo Ihi
any higher than ten cents." What lie I
really means Is that hu don't cure to risk 1
any moro money, ami that ho Is going to
do Ills level liest to win all lie can out of
that ten cent limit, if, as lie says, ho
wanted to play the gaiuo piuely fur fun
he would play It fur fun, mid nothing else.
So that you can set It down as a safe rule
that poker is purely a gambling game, ami
If. iieoplo begiu I iv playing it for fun they
invariably end ny playing It for money.
The tendency the game has is to cheapen
the value of money, ami tho best illustra
tion of this Is that when tho same people
play together for sumo time tlieru is a con
stant craving to Increase, the limit.
A man who is learning to play poker will
start on a ten cent limit bccaiiso ho cannot
lose much, and then again 11 dollar's worth
of blue chips at ten cents each looks larger
than it tloes later on. Ily ami by ho wants
to make these blue chips worth a quarter,
then a dollar apiece, ami as his cotilidcnco
lu himself Increases ho makes tho limit
larger. One of Iho strangest facts In poker
Is that Ihu moro u man loses money tho
moru his conlldem-u in himself Increases.
And tills Is the most potent force that aids
the professional sharper to lleeco Ids victim.
There are stories without number of tho
peculiar fascination of the game how one
game has been carried on for days together,
how meals were furgottcti, etc. Hut ouo
of tho most pathetic tilings I over wit
nessed I saw last winter in an Arkansas
hotel. Ono rainy afternoon six men got
together In a gamu of poker. They
hail been playing for some little time,
ami had liecu in tho habit of changing
around from room to room, so that each
member of tho party was in turn a host.
In the last room of the corridor of the sec
ond lloor of tho hotel there wasnsick man.
The room next to this was occupied by mio
of tlm players, who 011 this particular tlay
acted as tlio host.
The game began early lu tho afternoon
ami tlie chips rattled merrily. There was
a transom over each dour, which made
sounds more audible. Very soon it bo
eamn evident to tho players that tho man
uc.t door was pretty sick. They could
hen- him groan. Tho doctor came, .-aid
the man was dying, but tlio gamu next
door never llagged. I stood in front of tho
rooms, ami heard tho gro.ins of the dying
iu.'iii in ouo room and tlioluiightcrautl rat
tle of chips In the next room. Finally ouo
of the players, who had a wife in another
part of tho hotel, got up ami cashed In his
chips. "Gentlemen," said lie, "I've had
enough. I'm pretty tough, but this is
more than I can stand." Not long after
Gils (lie sick man next door, lu poker par
lance, "cashed in ills chips," Imt the i;nmo
went 011.
To change, the train of thought.
Tlio other day a gentleman told 1110 of a
little game of draw he was in not long ago.
"There were four of us in It," saitl he,
"and the dealer was a stranger to me. Ono
man held fuur twos, tlio dealer held four
lives ami I held four threes. It was a
mighty Interesting situation, I can tell
you, anil thu man who held four twos
droppeil everything ho hail."
"What did you dof" I asked.
"Oh," ho answered carelessly, "I dropped
out." Tom Massuk.

term would liavu b.'cn better applied, for
the hardy stranger from Japan was
queen of the garden. Wherever sho was
lu groups, lu beds, lu varieties or in single
0110 Mowered plants sho wielded her scep
ter with an equally firm grasp. Ilesido
her the eccentric orchid twisted from ap
parent nothingness without attracting
much attention, although tho year Is not
far gono when tho orchid had no rival lu
tho hearts of tho fashionable people.
Yes, there aro fashions in Mowers, as
thcro nro in colors, as there aro lu robes
and jewels. Tliero aro seasons of which
tho rose, tlio Illy, even tho violet (although
tho latter seems an Inherent contradiction)
is tlio comet. Today thu chrysanthemum
rises highest In tho sky of popular favor,
and few there nro who will question her
right to reign, whllo there aro many who
predict her sovereignty will be lasting.
Thu chrysanthemum was first brought
into Europe In tlio year of tlio French
Revolution by a merchant of Marseilles
named Illaucaril. In thu autumn of the
following year (1700) some plants having a
small Mower of 11 dull purple color wero
sent to Kew gardens, London, and a mag
nlMcont chrysanthemum show lu celebra
tion of thu one hundredth anniversary of tire
"golden Mower" given by tho National
Chrysanthemum society, of which Iird
Hrooko Is president, was recently held at
thu (toynl Aquarium, Westminster. Tliero
weru only twelve varieties known ln Eng
land up to the year lS'.'O, and In lSI'tlie
Mrst Chrysanthemum society was formed.
Yet it was not until years afterward thnt
tliu Mower was taken up by the aristocratic
classes, and one of tlio most enthusiastic
members of thu Stoke-Nowlngton Chrysan
themum society tloes not hesitutu to chron
icle the fact that for many years it was
wero Imported directly from there. Woar
told thnt what wo see Is ns moonlight to
sunlight compared with tho marvelous
chrysanthemums of the Flowery laud, Imt
wo can tako tlieso travelers' stories with
a grain of salt. It may Ihi true that In
point of size tho homo bred chrysanthemum
outgrows Its imported sister, but, on tho
other hand, American Morlsts nro adding
scores of new varieties year nfter year to
thu list of cultivated sorts. Another thing
which must bo taken Into consideration to
uphold tlio national variety Is that tlm
slimnto of America Is distinctly favornblo
lo thu production of this Mower, and beforo
long tho tables will bo turned and the
Japanese tako lo Importing Instead of ex
porting tho best varieties lu color nml raco.
In China tho chrysanthemum must linvo
grown for ages, as not only does it afford ft
general typo of architectural ornament,
but seems to have a ptaco in tho nuclont
history of tho country. Ono of tho nntlon
ul honors is tlio "Order of tho Chrysan
themum." In Co rea, whero chrysanthe
mum culture has been brought to great
perfection, thu annual chrysanthemum
festival Is ouo of tho greatest national
holidays. 1 huvo called tho chrysntitho
mum tho queen of tho Mower shows re
cently lu progress throughout the country,
in other cities as well as Now York, buttho
term needs specification, for mixed nud
crimson nud brunette pay homage to a
queen among themselves. Shu who has

lie fore her tho crowd bow down, nnd, in
truth, silica tho season is not Juno, sho lias
no rivals she need fenr. How long sho will
wield tho scepter, who can tellf Thcro nro
fashions in Mowers, to return to my stnto
incut In thu opening paragraph, nud If a
more beautiful member of her own family
do not depose her somo now Mower will.
Who hns not heard of tho crnzo for black
tulips, which almost bankrupted Holland,
nud which did ruin many nmatetirsf Tho
chrysanthemum cra.u Is ns widespread as
that, nud yet, without desiring to titter a
paradox, I may say t lint tho present craze
has far moro of sanity in it.
