WORKING THE DOUBLE CROSS Weirdly Thrilling: Finish to a Card lltMYivltxer tin Animal's llnek Hnlutes the Orntnr of tbr nay H llr Mfn'a Pile. "Tho profeanlonal poker player Is dis appearing like the buffalo hunter dis appeared," said Colonel Klrby of Butte, Mont., In explaining to a company of friends .the changes which are coming oVer tho wct. "The field of tho profes sional card player Is so restricted that It is no longer profitable. Nowadays card playing is confined principally to tho clubs or to select circles of friends. N6 body plays cards with strangers. "When one of tho professionals sets out after his prey in these times ho usually arranges a double-cross, which reduces tho game to n simple bunko swindle. However, the double-cross Is no new In stitution. I'vo seen It worked when tho games were free and open In Montana and the principal relaxation of adventur ous gentlemen was n set-to nt poker or faro. "One of the types which have passed Is the horseback gambler, who rode the ranges In the west, ostensibly as a cow puncher, but In reality n smooth card sharp. That time I was invited to de liver n Fourth of July oration nt Fort Benton. I hod an experience with this typo of bad man, and I was saved from disaster by a providential Interruption. "When the people of Fort Benton In vited me to pull about 15,000 words on George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and the American flag, I accepted with the enthusiasm of n bystander who hears tho call, 'All hands to tho bar.' I ar rived In Benton after midnight and the roccptlon committee gave mo the choice of going to bed or sluing Into a little game of stud-poker. I chose poker as the more entertaining. A Whinnered Tip. "In this game there were two cow punchers, who, I afterward learned, be longed to the class known as horseback gamblers. I had hardly got well started In tho game when tho bartender, whom I had known In other days at, Butte, called me uslde and Imparted an earful of Information. " 'Colonel, you'd better not take cards In this game. It's so crooked that It couldn't fall through a bridge,' said this thirst clerk. " 'Well, It's tho only game In town, Isn't It?' I inquired, sadly. " 'Yes, but the cards are marked,' re plied the bartender. 'Theso rough-riding sportn know all the cards, from the see to the ten. becauso I furnished the cards and did the marking.' " 'Well, you might tell me the combl nation from the ten to tho deuce, and I'll take my chances with them,' I said. " 'Colonel, you're a genius; you ought to be In congress,' said the bartender. 'The next deck 1 put Into the game will have all the cards marked. It will be a beau tiful double-cross, nnd I'll be In on the plny. " 'I don't mind telling you, Dan. that If you double-cross mo I'll hang crepe on this shack,' I suggested, mildly. " 'Don't worry about me,' replied Dan. 'I'm tired" of this bunch, anyway.' "It took me about five minutes in a hack room to get the combination on the backs of the cards, so that when I went back to the Impatient gamblers I was framed to win. "Most of you know tlint turn-over poker Is a swift and eventful game. I held the advantage of knowing all the cards, whllo the horseback men were In formed only on the subject of aces, kings, (lueons, Jacks and tens. Ultimately there could bo but one ending to the contest, and I should be the victor. A Steailr Winner. "I don't think I over saw a game Just llko that one. Whenever I got a big card In tho hole I may as well have turned It face upward, so far aa those two gam blers wore concerned. They made some remarkable calls, and I did the fame. I was steady winner from the start, and along about daybreak a pot carno up which brought tho game to a climax. "I caught a deuce in the hole and a deuce face up. 1 observed that one of the gamblers held a ten spot In the hole, with an ace turned up. It waa at this point that he made the fatal mistake ot bluffing me out. Holding the high card, ho made the first bet, und when I raised him $50 the other players dropped out Then the gambler, trying to give the im pression that he held up a pair ot aces, raised me $100, 1 did not hesitate, and bet htm $3)0. He called and raised $300. "That was about all that I "wanted to risk on those deuces. I held the best hand, but tho chances of his drawing a pair were pretty good, and ho appeared determined to go through with the play. When the next card fell I movwd In $500. The gambler tossed hts hand Into the deck and said: " 'There Is Just one way In which you could pull off that play, and that is by knowing what my hold card Is. Also,! there Is Just one man In the room who could furnish that information, and I'm going to abate him in the bud right now.' "Aa he spoke he Jerked his revolver dollar, bill -4 AUAX WITH x4 I from beneath his vest and turned his eyes toward tho spot were the bartender had been standing. That personaga promptly ducked under the edgo of tho har and reached for a six-shooter which ' he kept handy. Just then something happened, so startling and so weird that e.vcrybody forgot tho duel which appeared Imminent, There Was a sound llko the roll of thunder nnd crash of splintering boards, then the board shack In which the saloon was located rocked nnd heaved and collapsed. We were left standing In the rosy light of tho rising sun, with no roof over us nnd with no walls around us, I was so scared that I had goose flesh until you could strike a match on me. The Climax. "I know It's exasperating for a ra conteur of tales to go back nnd start over ngnln, but In explaining theso phe nomena I must toll you about tho activ ity of that patriotic reception committee. "Tho commltteo had got hold of an old mountain howitzer, left at Fort Benton by a detachment of artillery in the In dian war. The howitzer was designed to go on the back of a mule when It was being transported. The committee had duly commandeered a mule and had taken the cannon across the river to fire the morning saluto to the nation. "When the mule and the gun arrived on the broad flat across the Missouri river ono of the committee, who had been celebrating, suggested that the gun be fired from tho mule's back. So a charge of powder was put In nnd a solid shot rammed home. Then a match wai applied to the fuse and the gun pointed toward the hills. "Tho mule was by no means an Idle by stander In that patriotic performance, and when the fuse began to sputter tho sagacious animal began to whirl around, trying to get rid of tho load. The com mltteo fell flat on the ground, fearing, that some ot them would Interrupt the mad flight of that cannon ball when It left tho gun. "When tho mule had mado two revolu tions the gun was discharged, and It hap pened that it was pointed exactly at the saloon where we were having this seance ut poker. The shot tore through tho walls with a crash and the nolte fright ened the cow ponies which were hitched to the outsldo of the building. Within five seconds the cannon ball and the ponies had Jerked the flimsy building apart and scattered it over the river bank. "The hostllo gambler, who was about to open fire on Dan, waa hit by a fallln? board and stretched out on tho floor. I escaped without a scratch. When he camo to Dan had disappeared. " 'How did I come out ot It?' Why, tho gambler decided not to start a gun fight with me. particularly aftor the town marshal had warned him that any hostile demonstration toward the orator of the day would be regarded by tho citi zens of Fort Benton an something akin to tearing down the American flag. Any way, the citizens decided that tho camp was better off without the gamblers, and as nobody but they and Dan and I know about the double-cross, everything ended happily. Afterwards I met Dan In Butto and gae him half the pot." Butte Miner. THE SWEET TOOTH IN ACTION Where the Worltl'a Sugar Mrnle nnd Who Ent Largest Share of It. It Is only within ten years that It has been demonstrated by the scientists that sugar Is ono of the greatest sources of muscular energy 'known to man, and aa a consequence the demand for sugar may be taken as an index to the industrial activity of a nation. When your child begs for sugar on tho bread, or cries for candy, it Is becausa that child feels tho necessity for this great bone builder, of which It stands lu so great need. The craving ought to be satisfied, In moderation, and at the right time. Dentists ay that the proper time to glvo candy to children Is, not betweon meals, when entering an empty stomach there is an acid reaction affecting the health of the child Injuriously, but Im mediately after a meal, when the candy mixes with the food already eaten and performs 'ts proper office without any evil effects. ' Up to the last half century sugar was made from sugar cane alone. The origin 'of sugar cane Is so ancient that none can give its real history, but it is supposed to have first been found In India, that seat of Aryan etvHIsat'on, whence so much that we prize has come. Transplanted to the new world by the Portuguese and Spaniards three or four centuries ago, the sugar cane found Idoal soil and climate in the West Indies, and especially In Cuba and Louisiana. It has been the source of great wealth in theee countries ind Is still one of the leading Industries of southern countries with a rich, loamy soil. It waa noticed by chemists that sugar, or sweetness comparable to It, waa found In many kinds of vegetables. In the stalk of corn. In the corn Itself, In carroH, and especially !n beets. After careful study and Investigation It was proved that certain species of beets that could be produced on soil where sugar cane would not grow would still produce as much sugar to the acre as the cane would. As a consequence, France and Germany have taken up the growing of sugar beets, and In many parts of the United States i i i I by Gus Mager these beets are being profitably grown.. In fact, there Is almost as much sugar produced from beets us from cane at the present time. The production of bfet sugar last year was 5,900,938 tons, while only 2,533.434 tons more of cano sugar were produced In all the world. The total quantity of sugar consumed all over the earth In 1911 was 14,353,310 tons. Europo produced 5,524,067 tons and Asia sent forth $.750,765 tons, more than 500,000 tons mom than were produced In the United States, which prouueed 3,219,415 tons. The rest of America, chiefly Cuba, of course, pro duced l,lC2,tol tons, while Africa, produced but 470,313 tons and Australia only 219.8S3 tons. The beet sugar grown In all the world last year would form a cube ns high as the Woolworth building, and the cane sugar a cube very much larger. The wonder Is not where all the sugar was consumed, but how the world got on without It a century ago, or how It man aged to do with so little. The per capita consumption of sugar Is the most Interesting element In tho statistics Just gathered. During last year ewry pewoti In England consumed 100 pounds of sugar,, or almost two pounds a week. Much of this was, however, used In the manufacture of preserves and Jams, shipped all over tho world by tho famous Jain makers of Great Britain, so It la probable that this Is an ovcr-estlma-. of tlqc sugar consumption In ICngland. In the United States eighty-three pounds waa eaten by every man, woman and child, or In that ratio, and much of this can certainly be put down to our candy eating habit, for we aro the largest con sumers of candy on earth. The thrifty Swiss are credited with eat ing sixty-eight pounds per capita, and this Is undoubtedly due to the coldness ot the climate, and also there may bo some deduction -made for the consump tion by travelers every summer, for tho figures are based upon tho amount oi sugar produced or Imported Into each country, and no one can say precisely who eats It. Denmark, another cold country,, con sumes sixty pounds per capita, and Sweden cats forty-three pounds' p;r In habitant. Germany consumes forty.-two pounds for each person, less than a paun a week, nnd Fiance only forty pounds. The Inhabitants of the Netherlands con sume thirty-nine pounds, tho Belgians thirty-one pounds, the Austrlnns twenty three pounds, the Russians sixteen pounds, the Spaniards thirteen pounds nnd the Itnllanu only seven pounds.

"Tho roads In India arc excellent," said Mr. Robertson. "The principal trouble Is that the people can't seem to guess tho speed ot a car, and net llko hens used to before they learned the smell of gasoline. "In going from Bombay to Calcutta w rode 2,000 mller, as we made several side trips. Much of the way we were con tinually slowing down becauso of people In the road and bullock carts, both hav ing a habit of blocking the route. How ever, I was told It was not a serious) thing If you hit a man with your car. If you Injure him, you pay him 3 rupcet, and If you 1:111 him, you can settle with his family for 60 rupees. Fortunately, I did not have to do either. "At Calcutta, however, while making for the steamer, I did run ovej a man. He was In a crowd, and moat of them got out of the way. This one was headed right, but as the car overtook him, h sprang In front of It, with the result that he went under. However, he was 'able to pldc himself up. I was told that an Englishman would have 'cussed' him for scratching the mudguard of the machine. "On our trip our chief trouble was with tires. After the middle of May I pur chased twenty-two.
