"I reckon It's true, though, that desperate
gambling on railroad trains Is practically a
thing of tho past. Tho companies won't

"You would hardly think that a gnmo that
had been exposed so often as that could bo

seems to bo tho most successful, no matter
how often It Is exposed. I've seen that

"Fifteen or twenty years ago tho custom
hadn't been entirely stamped out, und there
was still a good deal of gambling going on
in the smoking cars,-especially In tho south
west. Of course, thc conductors knew about
It and It they did not stand In they winked
at It In order to save themselves trouble.
It was not nlway3 among professional gam
blers either that tho play went on. Sotnc-
tlmea a party of men who knew one another
wpuld play, being caroful not to allow a
stranger In tho riiuc, for traveling men
got wlso long ago on the question of playing
with strangers,
"I remember u game I saw In Texas some
tlmo In tho early '80s that wound up lu
a curious way, and seemed for a moment
or so likely to break up In ns lively a shoot

whether thcro was a professional In thu
gamo or not, or whether, for that matter,
tlioy wcro not all professionals. They ccr
tatnly played a strong game, and a good
deal of money changed hands before tho

climaxes generally do In poker,
"Thero wcro .four playing on one of thoso

other games going on In the car nt the time,
for 'tho' train wait falrlyfiiU of passengers,
but I happened to sit across the aisle from
thtso four and I watched their play for
moro thnn an hour, not only because I had
nothing else to do, but becauso i saw In a
few moments that they were all playing as
if you shoot, but I call on everybody present
to witness that if you do It will bo a das
tardly murder. And If you shoot and don't

but It stopped tho funny business.
On tho draw the lawyer took two card3
and let them He face down. The next man
studied his car5s awhile, or pretended to,
and then called for one, which ho looked nt
carefully bofaro laying It on tho other four
cards In front of him. If he was not really
drawing to a straight, full or fliiBh, he at
least conveyed tho Idea that ho was, which
was, of course, what ho was trying to do.
Tho red-faced man then called for ono
card, and, as thc dealer threw It to him, ft
llttln gust of nlr turned it over and It felt
on the board face up. It whs thu seven of
diamonds.
That card Is dead,' exclaimed thc
lawyer, but before tho dealer could throw
out another card tho red-faced man ex
claimed: 'I'll tako It.'
"Then thero was a wrangle. It was thc
first one In the game, but It was hot. Of
course, under the rules of tho gnme, the
card was undoubtedly dead, nnd tho red
faced man had no option but to take thc
next card. I beltcvo they havo made a rulo
lately In somo of tho eastern clubs that a
man must tako a card that Is exposed In
thc draw, Just tho same as It It Is exposed
In thc deal, but oven If that Is good poker,
which I don't think It Is, It hadn't been
heard of at that time, and thero was no
poislblo ground on which thc red-faced man
could demand tho card
"Demand It he did, however, and ho did
It fiercely and nngrlly, arguing that as the
wind had turned thc card over It was no
fault of tho dealer or of his own, aud that
towering rago or pretended to be. If it
was a pretense It was a remarkably good
one.
" 'Dcnl that card,' he exclaimed again
Vtlth an oath, 'and bn suro It Is a diamond.'
Slowly, nnd still without any vlslblo
sign of fear, tho merchant passed over the
next card on thc top of thc deck. Thc red
faced man lifted ono corner of It with his
left hand nnd looked at It carefully, with
out allowing any ono else to see It and
without relaxing his grip on his gun. For
another moment there was nothing said.
Then ho turned to tho lawyer nnd said
" 'It's your bet.'
"Tho lawyer said nothing, but threw his
cards In thc discard pile. I would have
thought more of his courage at the tlmo If
he hud looked nt the two enrds ho had
drawn before throwing them away, but he
didn't, and after all I don't know that it
was n particularly cowardly thing to refuse
to play poker with a man with a gun In
his hand, even If ho had considerable money
In the pot. I know I will lay down pretty-
good cards under thoso circumstances with
out any argument and I don't set up for a

DKN'VKK, March 2S. (Special.) To save
tho lives of thousands of persons belonging

Is tho object of an organization of Denver
physicians and other professional men nnd

fcanltorlum, which has Just been Incorpor-

Tho organization alms to bo national In
s scope und has tho Indorsement nnd sup-

tho United States. Its purpose Is to aid thc
great majority of tuberculosis patients In
poor und moderate circumstances who come
to Colorado and other mountain states In
tho hope that the climate and altitude will
aid In effecting a cure, and who, nlmost In-
arlably, cither from lack of means or
proper direction, aro Immediately sur
rounded by conditions which prccludo Im
provement or recovery.
Tho story of the tortures and hardships
f tho consumptive of moderate means,
who leaves home and friends and attempts
to mako his way In n strango city while
battling for health, would fill volumes. A
largo majority of thoso coming to Denver
arc forced Into olllco work or other clerical
employment and to live In cheap boarding
hourcs, where tho food, ventilation and
sanitation Is poor, to say tho least. Under
uch conditions Improvement Is rare and
recovery Impossible.

scats from which they could see stood In tho
aisles, loaning ngatnst thu arms of other
men's seats,- and looking on lu silence, but
with Keen attention
"So far as their uppcarnnco could be taken
as an Indication, they wcro nil prosperous
men, 'two of them looking, as If they might
havo been cattle raisers, and nnu looking
like n merchant. Tho other I took to be n
lawyer, or a politician, though he might
have been anything else. He was certainly

fcteadlly enough, though, nnd so far n I
cduld, Judgo made no bail breaks and no
flfort to force his luck. Then ho caught
;i third king lu the draw, and betting It up
against two two-card draws ho scooped in

though It Is not entirely n novel one. This
plan for reduolng tho exorbitant rates
tho pawn shop proper nnd for supplying
tno needs of those who uro hard pressed
for immediate cash and yet loth to apply
to tno usurer, has the merit of being
locally western one nnd having realized
a somowhnt rcmarkablo success
John V. Parrel, Jr., the president of t'to
society, has recently made a report of the
year a results. Tho society began with only
$50,000 capital, but has grown so fast lu the
Inst three months of tho fiscal year that
n loan was necessary. Loans are again
the principles of the soolcty, and this has
been since paid nnd the capital stock In
croascd to $;'00,000, with a not profit
this of about S.S per cent. A semi-annual
dividend of .1 per cent has lately been de
dared, of which a first payment was made
January 1 of this year.
The tlrst year's loans varied from
to fzwi or thcRe a large per cent were
In amounts of $3 or under. Tho present
rate for loans Is 1V4 por cent, but this
Ir desired to decrease, If possible. In In
dluunpnlls another society of tho Fame ticope
Is forming, nnd both find that careful man
ugenient is npcessnry to keep or reduce thl
rate; but tho result of tho year's work I
Chicago, begun In n very tentative spirit,
cortalnly encouraging. Tho Chicago dlrcc
tors are so satisfied with thc results anil
so sangulno of the future that they declare
the stock will yet earn 10 por cent a yea
and expect to develop tho field lu a fc
years by $500,000 of capital and branc
offices in the noorcr and denser districts

that lawn furnishing promises to become
one of tho features of every well-kept

large Mnnlln rug that Is waterproof and
brilliantly colored, nnd on this Is set up a

Their plan provides for thc erection of a
sanatorium about twenty miles from Denver,
to be conducted as an Industrial colony. A
largo amount of monoy will bo required.
This It is oxpected can bo raised by tho
"cottage endowment plan."
To accuro these endowments by Indi
viduals, fraternities, dubs, societies,
churches, colloge alumnae, labor unions,

It will be tho duty of this society to co-
operato with the board of directors, to se
cure money for the endowment of the cot
tages, to ralso funds for a library, collect
furnishings for tho cottages nnd to interest
wealthy people in tho sanatorium. Uy
utilizing tho labor of patients It Is expected
that nearly all of tho work of the Institu

torlum supplied with provisions and a great
variety of remunerative Industries carried
on. Tho ludiistitai nature of tnc institu
tion will enable tho patients to avail them
selves ot a change of climate while thc
disease Is In Its luciplcncy nnd before they
aro Incapacitated for light open-air employ

The motto of the Institution Is, "Helping

placing tho institution upon u substantial
