' “Been up in the mines?” inquired Sing Seven. “Yep,” replied the Footprint. “Just came out Footed it from Angels to Milton yesterday and rode into Stock ton oil a side door sleeper last night. A side door sleeper,” continued tho Foot print, “is not the most comfortable mode of traveling. Personally I prefer to ride on a red cushion, hut tho heart less and exorbitant demand of the rail road trust for spot cash compelled me to walk or come as freight I came as freight. ” “Sure,” said Sing Seven. "The unpleasant feature of the trip,’ continued tlie Footpiint, “was the base betrayal of confidence on tho part of the brukeman with whom I negotiated for an undisturbed passage. For a cash consideration of six bits and a drink of liquor he verbally contracted to waybill mi! from Milton to the division end at Stockton. We went up street to take the drink and—well, yon know how one word brings on another. By train time tiie $4 I bad sunk in my jeans had been fished to tiie surface and sent across the bar for red liquor. “The brakeman was full when he started for the yards. So was I when 1 started after him. The brakeman con fided to me on the way through the yards that he owned the whole train and 1 could ride anywheroaml anyway I wanted to. I told him that I was sur rounding at least a quait of Milton whisky and if it was all the same to him and he had a nice, dry, empty box car 1 would bo shipped as an unbroken original package. He agreed, and wo went over where the train was stand ing made up to find that empty. The brakeman ran a door open, gave me a hurried boost in and ran tho door shut and locked it After n bit I struck a match to look about and what do you suppose that cuss had done?” “(iive it up,” said Slug Seven. “Billed me as livestock, by gum I Fact! There I was locked in a box with two mules, both loose, and all of us good to keep company to the division end. What was that Sherman said about war? Said it was hades, didn't heV Well, it ain’t. It’s only an imita tion. The real, orthodox, rose colored hades is to spend a night in a locked box ear with two mountuin ranch mules “it isn’t a long run from Milton in, and I concluded, after tho train had humped along about threo miles and those scared mules had begun to charge around und kick a rat-a-tat-tat-tat on the sides of the car, that the only plan of campaign left to me was a flank movement and a sudden mounting of one of the animals. It wouldn’t he a dream of pleasure on that mule’s back, but it would he safer than dodging four rapid fire hind heels unlimbered for ac tion I got on the male all right, and after a little bucking he steadied dow»> tolerably well. The animal was ev dently scared to death and seemed to take comfort in being straddled by a rider. “Well, I was just chuckling to my self over the state of affairs in the live stock department of the Espee railway and figuring that another lionr would see us in the division yards, where my friend the brakeman would open the door, when the train stopped, evidently at a siding, «s I knew we weren’t near a station. We humped about a bit and 1 took a double wrap in the mule’s ears; then we stood still while eomo other cars were bumped about and then I heard two short tcots of the whistle and a rumble that gradually grew fiinte The train had pulled out and wo were side tracked. I “We staid there till morning, too, and I rode that son of a jackass, with a backbone like the ridge of a church roof up and down and aronnd that car every weary minute of all that weary night.

When l lir Slim* Dim* n I nine, the | Jneka llnil Tnrneil to Acee. lu the northwest they still talk about the last poker game that Major Ed wards and Htanley Huntley played to gether They were pioneer editors of pewspapers in Dakota in tho old terri torial days. Huntley had just wild his paper in liismarck for #3,500 cash and was coni in it east. He and the major had sat in many a quiet gamo together, and Huntley went over to the major's office to say goodby and play one last game. The major produced the cards, locked the door, and the two faced a green ta ble. The major had tho reputation of be ing a skillful dealer, and Huntley’s previous experiences bad taught him that cards sometimes appeared in tho major’s hand on a show down whose legitimate existence could only be ac founted for on the hypothesis that the r.ge of miracles had not passed. Ho he had fortified himself for this farewell game not only with the $2,500 which he had received for his newspaper prop erty. but also with four large but not overworked aces. There was no limit, but for an hour the game went ulong quietly enough The major was out $800 or $400, but, as both players remarked, the game was “young yet.” At last a jack pot for $50 came and remained. Hack and forth across the table went the deck Neither man could gut openers Each time the deal passed the pot was sweetened $40 At last there wus $840 on the table. The major dealt Huntley looked over his cards and found four jacks. As has been said, the major was a slick dealer, and when a big pool was at stake and it was his deal he gener ally managed to give his opponent a good stiff hand, while taking care that he himself had one just a shade better Ho. when Hnntley found the fonr jacks in his hand it seemed to him that the time had come to precipitate his fonr aces into action The jacks were retired unostentatiously, and with a faint—a very faint—shade of disap pointment in his voice Huntley an uunuueu “I can't break it. ” Tin* major was still examining his cards with that hesitating air that huiiio people always believe means “studying ont a straight " Finally he said: “I’ll have to break it for $500 It's a big pot.” Huntley looked inonrnfnl and said “I’ll stay Qinline a card. ’’ "None for me," announced the major briskly, as he threw over a card and laid down the deck. “I'll bet you $600. ’ “I'll raise you ♦.100,” said Huntley “Five hundred more,’’ said the major “When I sat down, "said Huntley, “I had |2,600 in my pocket. I’ll raise you the full amount of that on this one hand If 1 lose. I'm broke.” The major took another look at his band and replied “1 haven't got as much as that in cash I’ll muke out a bill of Bale of the building and plant, newspaper and all, and put that in the pot. If you win, you cun hold it till tomorrow, when I’ll settle. ’ “Go ahead,” said Huntley. The major wrote out the bill of sale and threw the slip of paper into the pot on top of the big pile of greenbacks Both men had emptied their pockets. “Now I’ll call you,” said the major “Fours,” said Huntley, and he laid down his four one spots. The major never flinched. He examined the aces, one after another. Then he laid down his hand and said briefly: “Yon win, Stanley All I had was four queens. ” The next day the major redeemed his bill of sale and Huntley came to New York and began to write the “Spoopen dyke Papers," which were first publish ed in the Brooklyn Eagle. He’s been dead for years now. About two years after the famous poker game Major Edwards was visit ing New York, and be looked up Hunt ley They dined together at the Astor House After coffee and when the cigars hud been lighted the major said “Stanley, of course when gentlemen like you and I play poker together there’s never any question about the game beiug straight But there’s one thing that’s been puzzling me for two years, and 1 want to ask yon about if “Go ahead, major," said Huntley, putting his cigur “Stauley, why in thunder did yon refuse to open that last jack pot when yon had four jacks in yonr huudT” "Major. ” returned Huntley thought fully, laying down bis cigur, “who dealt that last handT" “1 did, HtMUley," said the major. “Well, then, major, since four aces Wou the pet, how in thunder could it bare been a straight gainst" “That’s so.” said the major re thetively “Let’s get a cab and go to j sums theater New York Press t see of Iks g»l« Hull.

THE FEAR OF A MOUSE. One Instance \\ Here It %la«te a I.ana tic a Woman. A uionx' has It'ii .■ i 0 • ii to bo the bitterest tneni) of . omankind. Just why the average run of femininity should fear such a helpless, harmless little creature cannot lie explained. During the civil war a famous female spy was betrayed through the instru mentality of a mouse. The woman was niaxur ■ .ding as a boy and succeeded admit Criy in deceiving the enemy un til it' evi ning while dining with a party of men at a farmhouse a black Dionco jumped from a cupboard to the table, almost in the face of tbe sup posed boy With a shrill feminine shriek the spy threw up her arms and rushed across the room, and, springing on a couch, went into hysterics from sheer fright The men, of course, sus pected her and, rather than be searched, she confessed, but by tbo aid of the loy al old farmer and his wife she made her escape in the night. A well known woman physician of Chicago says she can do any kind of surgical work without a tremor, but the sight of a mouse turns her strange ly ill and thoroughly “unwomans” her. Another woman has such a terror of mice that she recently wont insane through fright at one of the wee crea tures. The woman was sweeping her cellar when a mouse darted ont from an old barrel and ran about her feet. Hhn tried to step on it and beat at It with her broom, calling piteously t<. her little boy to help her. But the boy, thinking site was in fun, frfghtened the terrified mouse toward the woman whenever it tried to get away. At length the boy rushed at It In earnest and the mouse darted under tbe wom an’s skirts and she fell to the floor in sensible, only to lose her mind when at length consciousness returned to her.— Cleveland Plain Dealer.
