Spectator Understood Game ef Peker ee Flayed in Tin Can. Henry B. Dixey, the actor, was talk ing about the terrific fight that oc curred recently on an Atlantic liner between two fat aad elderly poker players. "It seems," said Mr: Dixie. with a smile, "that the first man lost $1,300 to the second aad paid up. 'The second then lost $1,750 to the first, and refused to pay up. No wonder there was a fight, eh?. If this sort of thing keeps up, the smoking room morals of a liner will fall as low as the gambling-room morals of Tin Can. A ten derfoot once visited Tin Caa and watched with interest the poker play. From saloon to saloon he passed. Everything waa wide open, and very gay and lively. But as he looked on at a poker game thatrhad no limit the tenderfoot suddenly frowned.' He had seen the dealer slip himself-four aces from the bottom of the pack. 'Gracious powers,' whispered the ten derfoot, excitedly clutching the sleeve of the man next to him; 'did yon notice thatr 'Notice what?' asked the other. 'Why, that scoundrel in the red 'shirt just dealt himself four aces.' The other looked' at the tenderfoot calmly. 'Well, wasn't It his deal? he said." WITH THE BRAND OF CAIN. French Scientist Advocates the Mark; ing ef Murderers. A French scientist has made a re markable proposal in regard , to the punishment of murderers ia France. He is of the opinion that neither guil lotining nor life imprisonment la an adequate or suitable punishment for murder. The guillotine, he points out. inflicts absolutely ao suffering on the criminal; who is probably a man who has passed his life ia Inflicting suffer lag on 'others. As to life imprison ment. It entails a heavy expense to the country and generally reduces the prlnoner to insanity. He suggests, therefore, that such criminals shall he branded on the face with a redhot Iron and then released. The hraadlag, he thinks, should be done in public, the "M," signifying eurtrier, the French word for murderer, being stamped as ae Ineradicable mark, on the forehead of the criminal. He would thus bear about to the end of his days ' the mark of his crime, and be a con stant1 waralag to his Wad. HARD AND SOFT COAL 0RDEBS FILLED PROMPT LY. P. D. S1ITH LUUIft CO.

Then she seated herself with an air of much dignity and looked as severe r- it Is possible for one to look wit a. dimple In' one's chin. "We did have a heavealy time," she adsaitted. "But I am sure you haven't the right idea ae to why it was ao per fect? "Why, becauee It was your wedding trip, of coarse," protested one. "Not at all for that reason.' stoat ly asserted, the October bride, blush ing nevertheless. "It would be truer to say that.lt waa la spite of that." "Ton know, girls," pursued the Oc tober bride, an earnest wrinkle in her brow, "Jack aad 1 are much too old for foolishness. Yes. we are. So we decided at the very beginning that we were going to be perfectly sensible and .natural about our little tour and not n bit like the conventional young couple." y "Can't yon Just see them!" ex- claimed one or the listeners. "Be still! So we planned to go straight to New York, getting there in time for the art. exhibit we were both crazy to see. Besides, we would visit a few relatives, have a good time with Jack's old friends and go about town ae much as we 'liked. Now, wasn't that a sensible enough programme for The Coziest Little Alcoves.' anybody? And It was such fun that Jack and I both said on the way home we should consider it a real duty to tell everybody who was going to be married this year to try It" "I was wild to see those pictures; tell as about them," said one of the October bride's friends. "Oh, the pictures, of course. Why, there waa one room that a beautiful water-color In It I don't seem to recall the artist but there were the cosiest little alcoves, with big leather divans as quiet as could be. We didn't see a great deal of the pic tares, though. I was sorry for that, but we went only two days, and we didn't . get around much, some how." "And the theaters?" asked one girt "What was there at the theaters?" "There were some vawfully good things. Jack and I went several times, and I never enjoyed anything more. What did we see? Why, you know that one where the girl comes in oh, I never can remember names of things! Besides, we didn't -go as often aa we should have liked. Our evenings were so full." "I suppose Jack's friends went mad about you both," asserted the im pulsive girl. "Well, all we met were delightful and cordial. We met only one or two of them, as It happened. Jack and I were both rather sorry about this, bat Jack said that after all. we should be going back in a few months, and; as long as we were so hurried this time, perhaps It was just as well that It wasn't known by many of his friends that we were in town." "Were the shops as exciting as ever?" demanded the frivolous girl. "Oh, perfectly fascinating! That was one thing I saved my time for. I wasa't entirely satisfied with what I had and I meant to do a good deal ot shopping, but as it turned out we had oaly about an hour just before our train left" "But I don't see," protested a be wildered auditor, "what you really did in New York." "You don't! Haven't I just been telling you? Why, we were terribly busy all the time. The days simply flew. There was the park, and we drove about a good deal. and visited all sorts of out-of-the-way restau rants that Jack knows and why, we hardlygot there before it was time to turn around and come home." "And yon would seriously advise the rest of us to adopt the same plan -for a honeymoon?" inquired the de mum girl, softly. "I most certainly should," de clared the October bride, earnestly. "Really, you have no idea how supe rior it la to the usually silly, moon ing kind of thing. What are you girls laughing at? Oh, you wretches!" Chicago Daily News. aaaaaHaaanaaHhiV TRAMFS WHO DO GOOD.
