game o' life, and they're as happy as a gal

ceremonies old man Oreenhut smoked again
till he had composed himself, and then
without further preamble he said.
"Dick Tinker was one o' them 't 'peared
to reckon everbody an' everything was
made fr him. I knowed him up. Little
Rock way when he were a schoolboy, an'
it were so then.
"He were the biggest boy In school an'
fond o' flghtln'. Boys gen'ly Is 'thouten
they get licked ' frequent, an" wlt him It
was al'ays t'other feller "t was licked.
Consequent, he g rowed up as arrogant as

well. Took him out o" school afore he got

to. ride an shoot an' swim an' fight till
there wa'n't no young feller In all Ar

teached him how to play poker,

" 'But,' I says. If It looks to you like

"Well. Oabe, he didn't Jump at It That

About three days later he drops In ag'm

" 'I bin lookln' Into this here proposition

"Then, one night when I was beglnnln' to

place. There was Oabe an' Dick Tinker,
an' Hubbard, an' two young spo'ts 't I
knowed It high rollers. They were named
Peyton, an' Bpotawood. an' they was both
good fr all they'd play for.
"They lined up ag'ln the bar, an' a'ter a
couple o drinks, Oabe says, 'We was

here, 'f you've got the conveniences.' Bo 1

That brought It back to Payton, an' he

raise, so be trailed.
"On the draw be took two cards an' Hub
bard took one. Tinker took the nest one
an' Oabe set close. Payton bet a white
chip afore lookln' an' Hubbard bet a thou
sand. "Tinker dlfln't better an' he folded, but
Oabe made It $2,000, an' Payton looked at
his cards. He had a small p-Jr to his
queens all right, an' If he hadn't been a
first diss player he'd ha' boosted, but there
was a one card draw alongside of him, an'
he just made good.
"Then Hubbard bet another thousand, an'
Gabe a thousand more'n him, an' Payton
lay down. That give Hubbard the office,

PROPER CARE OF RAZOR

selves do not strop thetr blades oftener
than once a week. This Is ruinous to the
edge, for, being constructed like a saw,
the soap and fine particles of balr clog up
the teeth and not only hinder the rasor
trom doing Its work properly but also rust
the edge.
The proper way to shave Is to use a side
wise, slanting, sawing motion. There is
less- difficulty In the cutting In this way
and practically no "pull," unless the rasor
Is W extremely bad condition. The man
who learned to shave by himself will Inva
riably pick Up a rasor and pull directly and
forcibly down his cheek. The man who
has learned from one who knows uses the
sawing motion and saves much time and
trouble, as well as his skin.
The stropping of a rasor is more Import
ant than most men consider it On the
stropping depends directly the health and
longevity of the tool. Most men know the
stropping motion; the only fault Is that
they do not employ their knowledge often
' enough. .
I The honing of the blade is of the highest
Importance. Nine-tenths of the self-shav-!
era hone their rasors themselves and nine
'tenths of these hone them the wrong way.
Even the majority of barbers, who are
supposed to know, use. the old-fashioned,
laborious and unsatisfactory method of
honing.. They draw the rasor across the
hone with the edge, the proper way is to
draw It against the edge and thus save
time, by getting the greatest cutting force
from the tool. .a
Here are the proper directions for honing
a rasor:
To bring a dull rasor to an edge, dip
light side of rub stone In cold water (do not
una hot water), rub on hone until you cre
ate a thin lather; lay rasor perfectly flat,
so that both back and edge touch the hone;
draw rasor across the hone from heel to
point against the edge; hone In this way
Until your rasor la sharp. Test rasor on
thumb nail; If it adheres from heel to Volnt
then you have an edge. Honing after
these directions It Is Impossible to get a
"wire edge," which happens to almost
every amateur. New Tork Herald. "
It has been estimated that nine-tenths of
the people In the United States shave
themselves, and It la safe to say that nine-
tenths of these shavers hone, strop and
