TIIE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, MAY 6. 190G. SURE-TH1SCER CALLED DOWN Etolid Indian Bpoft Cleverly Ekini a Palefaoa Gambler. HUMILIATION . Or A GRAB-ALL SOLDIER To Oaaso It Was Played to m anoeteenlar Flat ah Poor Lo's Btilr Work wltk Dork On. "Whenever I hear or read about a iure thlng man I Imagine for a minute that I'm Diddering- again at Boise Barracks," said a man who put la several nllstmenta with tha chevrons of a doughboy duty ser geant on hla sleeves. "There was a hawk faoed corporal in my outfit at Boise who waa tha surest-thing gambler that I aver met In or out of the service. He waa tha kind ot a sure-thlnger who wouldn't lay bnttar than 1 to I against your rambling propoaltlon that black waa white or that tha moon waa mad of cornstarch ruatard, and ha had to have a percentage edge aa big aa tha aft fore mule of an army am bulanre before he'd take the bank end of any kind of a deal. " "On pay daya thla glmme-lt-ell corporal would aat up half a dozen different games for tha marka to gnaw on. Every one of hla games waa a thing that yon couldn't beat with a coal maul, but all hands at Bolae want again t tha aura thlnger's un beatable aetupa from month to month all tha aame. "The hewked-faced corporal carried on thla- thing for quite a atretrh of yeara, and we all had It properly figured out that hta I to 1 against gamea had made him pretty cosy In the pocket for a sol dier. In fact, toward the finish he hlm aelf fell into the habit of welling around a lot and announcing that at the wlndup of hla enlistment he Intended to go Into the real eatate and Insurant business over in Ppokane. , ., . "But if Ppokane ever waa waiting for him if a waiting yet. Ha didn't go Into any real aetata or Insurance buaineaa over there, for he ran into a washout, aa moat sure-thtngera do sooner or later. "A yappy young moon-faced rookie from tha eaat first got the.- aure-thlnger going. : A Grab-Ail Game. "One of the main gamea that the grab all corporal regularly aet in motion on pay-day nlghta in an unuaed quartermas ter a shop was the old mustang game that used to be the regular pay-day slough it off gag all through the army, from Gov ernor's Island to the rock of Alcatraa. The game Is called ohuck-a-Iuck outside the amy. It'a played, as oven tha junipers through tha west know, with a big dice marked with the card pictures and spots. Tha dice are chucked onto the cloth from a big tin shaker. Tha player stacks his coin on a diamond on the painted oil cloth, for Instance, and if he slaps out a diamond ha hauls down hla own money and an equal aum of the dealer's. If he chocks two diamonds ha gets twice the sum ha has bet from the man running tha game. "But mustang Is aa hard a game to beat as that, Canfield game of solitaire that some plnheads go 'up against, the percentage being overwhelmingly on the side of tha man behind the box. But this sune-tthlng corporal made more money, probably, out of hla mustang game than he did from his stud and monte and faro layouts all put together, for, stating a general propoaltlon, if you want to win an. American soldier's money all you've got to do Is to deal him a game that has the biggest pull against hla own chances and he'll fall for that one In preference to. the games that give him a alight show, and play It till he's color blind. v "For three months in succession ' the sure-thing corporal pelted the yappy, moon-faced recruit for his entire month's pay, down to and Including the pinch-out for tobacco. But tha rookie didn't appear to take the thing so much to heart. Ha was a quiet, big-eyed sort of a dub who didn't appear to possess exactly his share of brightness, and that's why we all felt kind o' sorry to see him go up against tha you-loae game for those three months in succession. "But tha rookie's fourth pay day expe rience with the mustang game waa soma different. Ha took his whole U down to the shack where the game was In prog ress and promptly lout 8 of It. Then, looking het-up and a bit sore and despe rate for tha first time, ha tossed his re maining IS down on the oilcloth club. Then ha shook out two clubs from the tin thing. . , . Peoallsvrltles ot tha arete-s. "After thla ha atuck to It beta, losing ena . of them occasionally, but In general winning. Ha ahowted oonaiderabla par tiality for tha olub and tha heart, and played them almost altogether. His prefer ence for tha club and tha heart seemed to be vindicated, at that, for It was no ticed that ho almost always lost when he toyed with the diamond or the spade. v "When he'd pick off about 1150 of the sure-thing corporal's coin, tha corporal shut down the game till ha went to quar ters for mora stuff. When he reopened the game tha yap-faced one was on hand again with hla foolish-looking leer, that . acted on tha eo-poral like salt on a fresh cut. Tha rookie Immediately began to hake tha mustang game up soma mora, and when he'd yanked In another tlOO of the sura-thinger'a Junk the other games were practically suspended we all gathered round tha mustang table to watch the wrtg glings and to listen to tha gurglings ot the corporal gajua backer, who waa dis liked. "By tha time taps was sounded the cor poral, as miserable looking aa ex-lance-Jack as ever wore a stripe down his leg, waa out a clean H60 on his mustang game. Tha simple seeming rookie said Cer'nly when tha sore corporal asked him if he wouldn't give hlra a getback show on ths following night, and then the moon-faced one strolled out In the direction of qua, tare. But he never got to quarters. Instead of that, he got the midnight train on the Oregon Short Line for tha east, and they never got him, either. When he failed to Show up for reveille the next morning the sura-thing corporal was torn by a sudden agonising thought, and he raked out his mustang dice in a hurry and examined them. He found that they waren't his own mustang dice at all, but first claaa replicas of thsm, and that two of them were Juat about bewitched to roll over so that a club en one and a heart on the other would turn . uppermost about four times out of live. 'This lose-out got tha sure-thing cor poral a-golng for fair, and he became hag. gard with anxiety to get even. He hank ered the worst way to win the S4 back, and it was with this consuming idea in mind that ha fell Into the habit of playing draw poker with some of the head mea of the bunch of Shoshone Indians who used to hang around the post. Big Chief Tmkes a Hand. "Some of these Bhoehones generally bad a pretty comfortable little wad of govern ment money stowed under their blankets for a little while after their quarterage days, when they'd get their dole out from the Inulan agent, and sure-thing corporal took Into hla head that thia ought to be pretty eoft money, considering the audge that Indiana have for gambling. He did pretty well at that for a spelt for he knew quite a lot about the game of draw, and he got If or 11 each from four or five of the Shoshones without much exertion or bother. "Then he fell In with Burning Tree, a Shoshone chief, with a face aa hard as sn Raster lidsnd lava statue. Although the sure-thing corporal didn't find It out till afterward, thla Burning Tree buck had picked up most of his Inside knowl edge of the game of draw In Washington, on a couple of protracted visits that he made to the capital town for the adjust ment of some Shoshone claims against the government. ' "When a wooden-faced man becomes a really proficient player of draw poker, as Burning Tree sure wss, he's a pretty good proposition to sheer off from, but the sure-thing corporal of our outfit, who was vain, wasn't able to credit an Indian with any more than enough sense to roll him self In a blanket and send the squaws out after firewood and drinking water. Any how, the corporal was rattled over the way the rookie had broken It off In him, and rattled with him meant greedy. He didn't find It out till It was all over that Burning Tree since his return from his last visit to Washington had become known among the Shoshones as one of the most miraculous, not to ssy magical, dealers of personally conducted poker hands that ever ohucked a papoose under the chin. "Burning Tree knew all about the sure thing corporal, and for that reason he permitted the soldier man to win heftlly from him on two nights In succession. He not only fed the corporal the coin on these two nights running, but exhibited such opaque stupidity at the draw game that the corporal could hardly keep from squeak ing in his pure glee over the good thing he'd struck. The games took place in Burning Tree's wickiup, the beat on the reserv ation, and by pure chance I happened to be the only outsider present st the final session between the corporal and the Indian. Pride Before the Fall. "The corporal, being away out In front from the previous two nights' play, was so cock sure of what was going to come off at every stage of the game that lie quickly Inaugurated the bluffing gag. It worked fine at that, Burning Tree ap pearing to lay down his genuinely worth while hands out of pure fear of the sure thlnger. "Finally came the moment when tha corporal tried to bluff the Indian out of a Jack pot that the Shoshone had opened on his own deal, and here he struck his first anag. Burning Tree nursed him along and let htm get in very deep. It looked pretty good to the corporal at that, for the Shoshone had drawn three cards, while the soldier had his two pairs all the time. The sure-thlnger, doping It out that tha Indian would sure lay down pretty soon, kept on raising It with 126 and ISO beta, until there was about 1400 in the pot. Then the Shoshone, not caring to scare his man completely out of the game, called and spread out his queen full. The sergeant Jammed his kings up into the deck with a nervous bunch of cuss words. To ease the corporal along a little. Burning Tree allowed him to win about 1100 back on the next few hands. Then the Shoshone settled back on bis haunches to play real poker. "Burning Tree dealt the jack pot that wound up the game. The Shoshone was one of those poker players that make the people they're playing with nervoua by covering the whole deck up with their hands while riffling the cards. " 'Shuffle 'em on the blanket,' said the rattled and sore corporal when the In dian began, to .riffle the deck in this way between his legs. "Burning Tree made no reply, but gave the cards an ostentatious shuffling on the blanket. - ! was"ln such a position that-1 could see that the, corporal had caught a pat ace full art tens. The sure-thlnger gased at his haiid'.with a languid kind of Inter est, seemingly, and looked to be about to chuck It into the middle and pass it up he wasn't any poor actor in doing stunts Ilka this,' either when he changed hl'i mind and opened the pot for a skimpy little 16. Poor I.a Stayed. "The Impression he aought to throw out on the Indian waa that he was kind o' doubtful about the value of the hand. The Shoshone studied his cards for a long tLmr, and, finally, he heaved a IS gold piece into the pot with the air of an Indian who believes he Is making a fool of himself. The corporal stood pat with the airy manner of a man deliber ately bluffing for the pure fun of the thing. The Shoshone looked exceedingly concerned, and threw one of his cards into tha discard with the hasty, hopeless Jerk of somebody bobbing to a straight or flush. For the first time since they had been playing the Indian's counte nance took on an expression of chagrined disgust when he picked up the card ho had dealt himself, and the corporal, watching the Indian Intently, looked as if he felt afraid he wasn't going to get much out of that ace full. " WelU fifty, anyhow, said the gura thlnger, in a bluffy tone. "Tha Shoshone gaaed at him with the stolid, injured expression of a man and a red brother of whom a gross advantage Is being taken. Then his teeth clicked and his Jaws set with an expression that was meant to convey, and did convey, the idea that he didn't Intend to be bluffed right along. Carefully conning hla hand, the Shoshone raised It a hundred. Pie for the sure-thlnger, this. Ha felt it a cinch that the Indian was flustered and rattled. Flve hundred more. Burning.' said ths sure-thlnger. reaching inside, his blouse and hauling out hla reserve bag of yellow coin. "Burning Tree now looked nothing short of pitiful. He dropped bis cards face down on the blanket and gased smack into the corporal's syes for fully a minute. Then he gave a short whistle and Inside of half a minute another Indian, Talking Crow, also a chief, walked into the wickiup. Burn ing Tree beckoned to his tribesman, showed him his hand, and tha pair had a pow-wow In Shoshone, which wound up by Talking Crow looking aa If he felt ashamed of his brother chief. The corporal was the picture of excited joy through it all. The Smile Cmaao Off. "But ail .of a sudden the eure-thlnger's grin was suddenly erased. Burning Tree grunted out a raise of 11.000. That raise, barring tftOO, tapped the corporal. But, al though puasled ha was still pretty confi dent, I could see, and so he stood the raise and tossed in his last 1500, sure that this raise would chase the Indian to the tall firs. But a wicked grin now wreathed Burning Tree's face. " That all you got?' he Inquired of the corporal, and the sure-thlnger, the sweat of fear now breaking out on his forehead, nodded affirmatively and tried to moisten hla Hps with his hot tongue. " 'Bumlg Tree, he call,' said the Indian, his eyes now narrowed until they looked like a serpent's. "The corporal, with shaking handa spread out his aoe full on the blanket. " 'No good,' said the Shoshone, flicking his four sevens to the blanket, ona by one. "The sure-thing corporal scrambled to his feet. " 'Look a-here,' be atarted to growl In a choked kind of way. 'you damned red hided deck stuffer, what do you,' but that was as far as lie got. "Burning Tree, sitting perfectly still, had a fine, steady bead on the corporal's head with the army pistol that he'd quietly hauled from within hla blanket.

"But you had money," said the banker. "I see, you had used your letter of credit." ' "Oh, yes." said the Englishman, "I had $400 In gold with me, but It wasn't of any use. I couldn't buy anything with It. In the morning, after I had lain in the gutter all night. I wss very thirsty and I wanted a bath. I walked along and came to a house partially wrecked. The door was open and nobody was about. I went In and found a bath room. I didn't suppose there was any water In the pipes, but when I turned the faucets the water came.

EMERALDS TREBLE IN VALUE Scarcity and Demand Boost the Prleo Gems Hlarb. la Pnbllo Favor. The qualities for which precious 'stones are mostly prized are luster, transparency, refraction and dispersion of light; al though, of course, scarcity and demand are the principal factors In determining the market prices; for Instance, the emerald today Is treble the value It was only a few years ago. This is partly caused by the great demand, but more on account of the state of war In which the country, vis.. Colombia, from which they principally come, is now engaged, thereby rendering It most difficult for those engaged In the Industry to procure them. The emerald mines of Colombia, at Muxo and Coscuos, near Bogota, have been worked almost continuously since 1568, and have been the means of supplying the world with most of the emeralds in mod ern times. There were mines in upper Egypt which yielded this gem to the na tions of antiquity, but were lost sight of from the time of the Mohammedan con quest until quite recently, when some at tempts at working them were made. The emerald mines In the Urals were not known until the eighteenth century, and they they yielded fairly good ma terial for a time, their Importance Is not great, as the stones found are not of good enough quality to pay the rate demanded by the government from the lessees, but they were reopened in 1900 by a syndicate, with little success, as far as can be learned. There are many stones holding the qual ity first mentioned In a high degree, but they are little known, because In the first place they are to be obtained In larger quantities, and the people engaged in the stone trade cannot therefore make the' profits they are able to with the scarcer gems, while' because of their abundance, and presumably lesser value, they have been given to the native cutters who do not understand the laws of refraction and reflection, to operate on, with the result that they are put on the market and evetitualy mounted in Jewelry looking like various colored acid drops and entirely lacking brilliancy and those sharply de fined facets which give that reflection which Is the chief charm and makes evident the greet difference between the real stone and its imitation. The last few years have witnessed the great strides which the various fancy gems have made in the publio favor, not ably when used In the neck chain; at present these are being made up with all manner of colored stones, and If the man ufacturer gives as much attention to the cutting of the stones as he does to the making of the settings he can produce a really delightful ornament.

HOPE FOR B!G EATERS These Famoas Old Men Always In dulged In Good Sqnnre Heals . and Flourished. The man with a good appetite has a hard time nowadays. All . the faddists are shouting that he eats too much. If he doesn't Jump at the chance of fast ing forty days he is snubbed. ' And if he doesn't Joyously cut out two of his quon dam three meals a day he is scorned. But once In a long while he does get a little comfort. A writer In Truth gave him hope recently by telling about famous old men who had been hearty eaters. There was Victor Hugo, who, in the very stronghold of French chefs, kept an Irish cook who herself attended her mas ter at table. 8he hated messes and gravies, and If she thought a dish unwholesome she refused to let him partake of it. She had her reward in the heartiness with which he ate of her roast and boiled viands such as a leg of mutton, rib or beef, ham, gammon of Wiltshire bacon and greens, a dish ons hardly ever tsstes In France. She and Mme. Drouet, the tactful friend and secretary of Victor Hugo through the' greater part of hla literary career, were agreed In satisfying to the full his fond ness for early spring vegetables and new potatoes. As he insisted on them being passed around the table, which was spread for many disciples, admirers, hangerson, they must have cost him a small fortune. Asparagus, which cost 25 cents and more a stalk, was often served, Hugo always taking a generous helping and then call- lng for more. He arranged the stalks ' circularly on Ma plate, with the points j Inward like the spokes of a wheel, and I placed ths sauce In the middle In a round ! space left vacant for it. This arrange ment was always symmetrical. He dis liked to see a broken point, talked while eating and ate, one might have thought, enough for two or three laborers. - All the sons of Louis Philippe were bon nes fourchettes, and. without being tip plers, were fond of the high-class French vintages.
