AN EXCITINQ NARRATIVE OP CARDS Tito tinino In Question Wns IMnycil in Minnesota During n Cnnvnsi Tor n United Stntcs Scnntorslilp, nml tlio Election Wns Settled by Tour Kings Hold Agnlnst Tour Queens. Prom the New York Sun. "Poker has often been called the na tional game of America," Bald the gray halrcd, middle-aged man In the club smoking room, "but I fancy there are few citizens who fully appreciate how much Influence it has exerted on the destinies of the nation In one way and another, AVc hear stories now and again of the winning and losing of for tunes, and sometimes how large es tates and mining properties have been staked on the chances lying between two hands. And every lobbyist in the country Is familiar with the old device of losing large sums in a friendly game with a legislator whose vote Is desired on one side or the other. Such things, naturally enough, sway public Interests ns well as private to no small extent, but I have seen a seat In the United States senate lost on four queens." "Of course, you are not talking seri ously," said one of the party. "But I nm," was the answer, "seri ously and literally. It happened In Minnesota soon after the war. Politi cal conditions In that part of the west were very different to what they are now, and In fact all other conditions were, too. It was at about the begin ning of the real growth of the north west. The value of the wheat fields had been learned, but the Swedish and Norwegian Immigration was In Its In fancy, and the lumber Industry, that afterward grew to such enormous pro portions, was then making compara tively few men rich. Minneapolis was a small town on the south side of the river, and St. Anthony was a town of the same size on the other side. Now it's all one city, but then nobody dreamed of St. Paul being eclipsed In size or Importance. "I was knocking about late one sum mer at that period, and had made many friends around St. Paul and Minneapo lis, some of whom were state ofllclals, and I had heard much talk of the struggle there was to be In the next legislature over the election of a sen ator. Two men were In the race, and as they were both popular the contest was likely to be a close one. Party questions did not enter In, for the state was strongly Republican, and no Democrat stood a show. But which of tho Republicans would carry the legis lature was a matter of great doubt, nnd I saw bets made on the Issue as early as the first of September. As the time of election drew near, it was evident that the choice for senator was going to govern the nomination of candidates for the legislature, and as both the sen atorial aspirants were long of head as well as long of purse they were using all the Influence they had In the county conventions which were to bo held early In October. LUMBERMEN'S INFLUENCE. "Right there was where the Import ance of the lumber Industry came In. The money on which the lumbermen In the upper counties lived came to them mostly through Minneapolis and St. An thony, and the perfectly legitimate business relations between them and the business men of those two cities naturally gave the latter much Influ ence nmonqr the formor. There was a rollicking, happy-go-lucky man in Min neapolis whom everybody called Doc Martin, for no reason that I could dis cover except that he wasn't a doctor. He was part owner of a sawmill, and spent the most of each winter In the woids with his men. lie was credited with being as influential as any one there was, among voters, but he had a rival In another man named Ollmartln, who was a logger himself, but had for a dozen seasons been foreman of one gang or another. Martin was a rich man, but GUmartln was seldom flush, excepting in tho spring, when he had drawn his winter's pay. These two men were known to be strong parti Fans, one favoring one of the would-be senators, and the other the other, and it was generally thought that they would both go electioneering when the county conventions were held. The week before that would happen I was one of a party who drove from Minneapolis to a road house on tho Port Snelllng road near the Minnehaha Falls, partly for the enjoyment of the moonlight nnd partly for a game sup per such as the house was famous for providing. Martin was one of the party, nnd as there were two or three other high rollers with us, I had made up my mind that It would be daybreak be fore we would get back. "I was right, but before the night wnb over we had more excitement than I had expected. We had had the sup per and an abundance of good wines with It, and were sitting around the table enjoying tome rarely good punch when somebody proposed poker. No one objected, r.nd In a few minutes there were two games In progress, for there were eleven In the party. Six played at one table, and Martin and I and three others were at the other. Tha game waa a fairly stilt one, $10 being the limit, and the cards ran well en ough to build up some heavy pots. "We had all indulged freely enough to glvo ourselves thoroughly to the enjoyment of the hour, though we had not been drinking heavllv, and there wasn't a man there under the influence. Alto gether It was a delightful occasion. Suddenly the door opened, and GUmar tln looked in. "'I don't want to "rough In," boys,' he said, 'but I stopped here to get sup Going to Better stay at home artd get GOLD DUST from your grocer, where and Sold every' Cleans Everything MADR ONtY BV THEN. K.FAIRBANK COMPANY, Chicago. St. Louis. Now York, Boston, Philadelphia. per on tho way home, nnd tho landlord told mo you wcro here, so I thought I'd nsk you to drink with me.' "Ho was greeted heartily, for every body knew and liked him, and a bump er of punch was poured out for him forthwith, his invitation being per emptorily laid on the table. Then, as a matter of course, It was suggested that ho take a hand In tho game, and he being moro than willing, ho sat at our table. " 'Wo're playing ten dollars limit, Gil, Bald one of the party, who know that money was not always plentiful with tho big fellow. Hut ho laughed carelessly nnd Bald: 'That's all right,' as he pulled out $50 and bought chips. "Martin looked at him rather keenly, ns I thought, for an Instant, and said: " 'Been out to St. Paul tonight, Gil?' " 'Yes, I have,' said GUmartln, and I was sure that I saw a half-laughing look of defiance on his face as ho answered. It puzzled me nt tho mo ment, but I understood tho question and answer afterward. Martin, It seemed, suspected that Ollmartln hnd perfected his arrangements to go elec tioneering, nnd that he had the money In his pocket with which ho was ex pected to do his work. It was this that he had asked by Implication, nnd GU martln, understanding him perfectly, and knowing that he could not keep his secret long from the other, had ad mitted It. As It proved, ho had $3,000 In greenbacks with him. "The game went on without any spe cial development for perhaps halt an hour before I noticed that Martin was playing ngnlnst GUmartln ns heavily as he could and only trying to bold his own against the rest of us. Gllmnrtln held his end up fairly, nnd was not far from even when Martin got his flrst good chance nt him. It was a pretty play, too, for GUmartln thought, as the rest of us did, that Martin was Muf fling when he stood pat, and contented himself with coming In without a raise every time It came his bet, until the rest of us hnd dropped out. Then ho raised Gllmnrtln tho limit. GUmartln had .a Jack-high Hush and was confi dent, so they had It back and forth till Gllmnrtln called and gave up $400 to an nco flush. "That was the heaviest pot for a long time, but presently the two got to gether ugain and GUmartln lost two hundred more. Then he grew a little nervous and Mnrtln grew cooler. Then GUmartln became angry, though he controlled himself tolerably well, nnd I was sure that Martin would beat him. So It proved. It came my deal soon after In a Jack-pot, and GUmartln opened It. We nil came in, standing Martin's raise. I had aces, but didn't better In the draw, so I laid down nfter one raise. Martin drew three cards, as did each of the others, excepting GU martln, who drew two. He bet the limit, and tho next man laid down. Martin raised It the limit, and nnother man and myself dropped out. GUmar tln raised and the fourth man threw down his cards. That left the two alone again, and Martin raised back. THE FIGHT BEGINS. " "Ten better than you,' said GUmar tln savagely, and then with a short laugh he added, 'You won't get away with me this time.' " "If you think so,' said Martin quiet ly, 'what do you say to taking off the limit?' " 'That will suit me exactly,' said GUmartln, and Martin pushed up his last blue chip and a hundred-dollar bill. " 'I'll sec that and go you five hun dred better,' said GUmartln eagerly, and ho skinned the bills off from a big roll that he drew from an inside pocket. " Toes my check go?' asked Martin. 'I haven't so much money with me.' " 'It's good for fifty thousand, and you know It,' said GUmartln. " 'I raise you a thousand,' said Mar tin. " 'And I'll go you n thousand better,' exclaimed the othcr.He was getting ex cited, but nobody dared to spcaJ. It was n serious matter to interfere In a game like that. " 'A thousand better, was tho re sponse. "Ollmartln hesitated. He looked at his cards and thought for a moment. Then he counted his money. " 'I'll have to call you,' he said final ly, 'for I've only got twelve hundred left.' "Martin's face was perfectly Impass ive. He, too, hesitated a moment, and then he spoke. " 'I'll put up five thousand more, if you want to play for It,' he said. " 'But how can I? I tell you I haven't any more money,' said GUmartln, look ing puzzled. " 'If you will give me your promise to po ns far south as St. Louis for sixty days, and tell nobody that you are go ing, I'll take that as an equivalent for th'e Ave thousand,' said Mai tin very slowly and distinctly. "GUmartln flushed. He knew that everybody in the room understood the proposition. He was asked to sell out his honor, for going nway in that fash Ion meant betraying his employer nnd running away with his money, as well as leaving him in the lurch. I ex pected to hear an indignant outburst of invective and abuse, and lndyed the man was about to speak when nn other thought seemed to strike him, and he grew deathly whlt.e, The gambling fever had seized him, and ho looked at his cards again. PROPOSITION ACCEPTED. "While he wus hesitating Martin spoko again, and tho devilish coolness of his speech made me shudder. " 'I need not say anything to Impress on the minds of all tho gentlemen pres ent that this Is a private party,' ho said, 'and that nothing which happens here can be told outside while It can by any possibility work injury to any one con cerned.' "GUmartln looked around at every man in the room, and seeing by our faces that we all recognized the obli gation, ho seemed nerved, as Martin had meant that ho should be, to take the risk. " 'I'll toko the bet,' he said at length, and he spoke desperately. 'But God help you, Martin, if you win It. I don't Klondike? flllllp Pamirs Advice to tine Eplheslae Elders. Acts XX, 22-35. BY J. E. GILBERT, D. D., LL. D., Secretary of American Society of Religious Education. CONNHCTION.-Aftcr two lessons In the Kplstlos wo return to history. Tho excitement at Kphesus having subsided, (Acts xix: 21-34.) Paul went forth ac cording to his purposo to Macedonia nnd to Greece. (Verses 1 and 2.) Ills stuy in those regions, however, was liner. Under tho prompting of tho spirit, his heart was bet on going to Rome. Sailing with several companions ho proceeded via, Tross, Assos, Mltylenc, Sanies and Trogylllum to Miletus. In each of theso cities ho preached nnd rendered valu able servlco to tho church. Being In somo haste he did not go up to Ephesus, but sent for the elders of tnat city, who camo down to Miletus to seo him. Tlio Interview which followed was extremely Interesting. These men, charged with all tho nftnlrs of the congregation, wero grcntly attached to Paul ns their splrlt unl father, delighted to seo him after his separation, and he delivered to them nn address, part of which we shall study today. BOUND. Having briefly referred to his labors nt Ephesus (verses 18 to 21), Paul spends of his contemplated Journey. He wns on his way to Jerusalem, what proved to bo his last visit to that vencr able seat of tho Jewish religion, dear to him by many memories. (Acts xxll, 3.) In going ho had no special mission, ex cept to bear nlms to the brethren. (Acts xxlv, 17.) Ho was wholly Ignorant ns to the things that would belall htm there. (Ven.e22.) Ho went because bound In tho spirit, (Acts xlx, 21,) being prompted nnd guided by the Holy Ghost, under whoso directions nil of his labors had been per formed. (Acts xlll, 2.) Tho prospect, however, was by no meas encouraging. Tho samo spirit that ordered him to Jerusalem nlio Informed him that every whero ho would bo subjected to trial ho would bo bound with chnlns and af flicted. (Verso 23.) It was truly heroic for a mnn to accept such a lot, (I Thess. HI, 3,) his whole life being devoted to God, rewnrded only at tho time by suf fering. (Acts lx, 10.) UNMOVED. Why wns Paul unmoved by this prospect of personal misfor tune? Why did ho go forward when ho knew that Imprisonment awaited him? Why should he even jeopardlzo his life? (Rom. vlll, 35.) Ho gives Ills secret In his letter to tho Romans. (Verso 24.) A course of nctlon, a mission, was before him, which ho was determined to ac complish, and to come to Its end with Joy. (2 Tib. lv. 7,) That mission was tho ministry which ho had received from tho Lord Jesus. (Titus 1, 3.) which ho hnd accepted as his life-work, from which ho dare not turn. (I Cor. lx, 1G.) Ills only business among men was to "testi fy the gospel of the grace of God." It lllled his heart and hands (Rom. I, 15.) and dominated all his powers so that, turning away from every other pursuit and calling, he devoted himself untir ingly and absolutely to this. Ho was tho Bervant of Christ (Phil. 1, 1.) to go and bo and do, and even to suffer and to die, when, where, and how the Mas ter might direct. believe you can, for I've got almost a sure hand.' " 'If you lose, said Martin, 'you have no cause of quarrel with me. I am not forcing you to play. But If you mean enmity, nil right. I'll gnmble your friendship, too, nlong with the rest, if you like.' "'So bo It, said GUmartln. 'It's a call, then. If you lose you pay me five thousand. If I lose I leave.' " 'Correct,' said Martin, nnd the hands were shown. "Martin had drawn to kings and caught the other two. GUmartln had drawn to three queens and drawn the other. "His face ns ho left the room was such a picture as I hope never to see again, but he kept to his bargain. At least, I imagined he did, for he was not seen again in that part of tho country while I was there. I never spoke to Martin again, but his friend was elect ed senator at the next session of tho legislature by a majority of two votes. Both men are dead, or I would not have told tho story." HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Kerosene oil added to the water with which mirrors, windows, or anything of glas is to be washed will give a lustre. A pint of water and three tnblespoomsful of oil will wash four largo windows. First dust the win dows carefully, then rub well with kerosene and water, wipe with a cloth and polish with old newspaper. The pretty little two-tlned forks In tended to be used for strawberries are now seen decorated with the berry en amelled in the natural colors. The vino twists around and up the handles, and has both the blossoms and tho fruit upon It. One of tho latest nddltlons to the table accessories Is a silver bread fork. It Is antique In shape, with pierced tines, nnd the handle has wheat dec orations. Get out your last season's straw hat nnd try freshening and cleaning it at homo with lemon. Remove th3 band and lay the hat on a Hat surface to kep tho brim In shape. Cut a lem on In two crosswise and rub the Btraw with It. Wipe the hat with a soft clean cloth, and If the dirt and sains have not been all removed, repeat tho operation with a fresh piece of lemon. Allow tho hat to dry thoroughly before It is worn In the sun. Do not throw away tin cans that have closely fitting covers. They may bo painted and used for rice, meal hominy, and all dry groceries, and mnlco your pantry shelves very at tractive. Remove the labels, wash the tins In strong soap sudes and dry them thoroughly. For twenty- five cents you can procure of any painter u pot of dark gray paint ready for use. Ap ply It with a broad Boft brush, so it Is even and smoth. When it becomes dry then with a small camel's hair brush nnd a llttlo bright red paint mark tho names of what tho box is to contnln. The name is readily seen, and theso boxes will save time ns well as please the eye. In polishing sliver that has lain away for a Ions while and is badly tarnished, It Is a good plan to wet a soft cloth In sweet oil and then with a cleaning powder rubs the sliver until the dark places have disappeared. Then rub with the powder and a dry cham ois skin before finishing with a polish ing brush. An oilcloth may be cleaned and made to last as long again if treated In tlio following manner: Cut into pieces half an ounce of beeswax, put in a saucer, cover entirely with turpentine, and place in tho over until melted. After washing the oilcloth thoroughly with a flannel rub the wholo surface lightly with a bit of Hannel dipped In the APPROVED. Tho apostlo not only af firmed his loyalty to Christ, but chal lenged tho approval of his brethren, de siring them to confess his faithfulness as a minister. Ho hud declared all tho counsel of God (verso 27), withholding nothing through fear or favor, ho hnd Instructed them In tho essential truths of Christianity (verso 20). Accordingly ho must be free from blnmo If any In tho church at Ephesus camo short of a consistent life or failed of tho favor of God (verso 20). Thero s undoubted ref erence hero to the responsibility of tho prophet, or public teacher, under tho old dispensation. (EzeK. Ill, 1S-19.) Ho had good reason for desiring this npproval of tho ciders ho was going from them, not to return: It was tho end of their earthly relations, the close of his work among them (verso 25). no rigntiy es teemed their favor ns an Incentive, and ho sought by means of that favor to preparo them for tho ndvjce which he was about to deliver. He would leave his laBt words enforced by his faithful ness. CHARGED. It was an easy matter for Paul to turn fiom his own conduct to that of tho ciders. (Verso 2S). "There fore," ho says, because of his example ho charged them to do their duty. That duty had referenco primarily to them selves. (I Tim. lv, 13). A servant of tho church must bo godly. Tho elders must rr.aTto tho apostlo In a senso a pattern. (II Thess. Ill, 9). By the memory of his excellent ministry they wcro to bo In duced to caro for tho church, to feed It as a floclk, like under shepherds. Two other considerations are here given to in cito them to fidelity. That church had been purchased 'by the blood of Chi 1st (Hob. lx, 14), nnd was therefore exceed ingly dear to him. (Eph. v. 25). Moreover, by tho Holy Ghost they hud been made overseers or superintendent (or bishops, ns the word might be rendered) of that church. Here, then, were thrco powerful motives the words nnd Influence of tho npostle, tho value and glory of the church, and tho naturo of the appointment all uniting to movo tho Ephcsinn elders to tho dlschargo of duty. WARNED. To render aU this the more timely and emphatic Paul discloses some thing of the future of the church, a dreary outlook, calculated to awaken fears. (Verses 29 and 30). Ho does not tell how m obtained tho Information whether by revelation or inference from conditions then existing but ho declares that ho knew the church wou'jd be In trouble otter his departure. Somo would enter from without, v horn he likens to wolves, falso prophets (Matt, vll, 13), described moro fully elsewhere. (II Peter, II, 1). Still worse, somo of the Ephcslans (I Tim. I, 20), would rlso up tc become false teach ers, perhtips influenced by those who camo from abroad, or perhaps led astray by their own Ignorance nnd conceit, and drawing disciples after them, so that tho body would bo divided. Hence, thess el ders must watch constantly (verse 31), re membering that they had been fore warned on this subject. This Is in full ac melted wax and turpentine. Then rub with a dry cloth. A polish is produced and the surface is lightly coated with the wax. When tho floor requires to be cleaned tho wax Is washed off, to gether with the dust or dirt that may have gathered, while the oilcloth Is pre served. If a dish of cold water Is kept In a cake box it will keep tho cake fresh and moist. The water should bo re newed every twenty-four hours. An easy way to open oysters Is to place them on a hot stove for a few seconds, when the oyster will open and you are able to get your knife in with out the slightest trouble. HE RAISED THEM. lint Thoy Hud Chnmpngno nnd Ho Only H n m nnd Eggs. A few nights ago a miner from the North who had lately sold a claim, had money to burn, nnd was in an incen diary mood, came down to Spokane to make tho currency bonfire. Ho was rather rusty looking when he struck Spokane, but he was hungry, and, be fore going to a barber shop, or bath, dropped Into nn uptown restaurant to get something to eat. There was but ono waiter, and he, busy carrying champagne to a party at another table, paid little attention to the hard-looking miner. Finally, tho waiter was called over, when the miner said: "See here, kid! Do I eat?" "Sorry I can't wait on you now," was the prompt reply, "but the gentlemen there have just ordered a ?30 dinner," "Fifty-dollar dinner be hnngedl Bring me $100 worth of ham and eggs, and be quick about ltl Do I look like a guy who can be bluffed by a mess of popinjays?" He was waited upon promptly. Spokane Republican. The Mother's Pay Day. What nav does a hard-workine mother of a family receive for her labor at the end of a wecK r me uusDanu may bring home his regular wages. Some of the child. ren may be old enough to earn theirs. Hut the mother, what is her pav for her days of toil and often nights of anxiety? Well, mtiJZ she is either paid in love or she isn't paid ?t at all. The majority of mothers are perfectly satis fied with the r y y nx simple recompense of loving appreciation. It any motiier aoesn-i receive mai inucn, it's an awful pity. It's a sad thing when the mother comes down sick with overwork or worry, or be cause some little weakness or disease has been neglected until it gets to be alarming. It should never be allowed to get to this point. She ought to be looked after right away. She needs the help of common sense medical treatment. Of course no one medi cine will cure everything. A medicine must be speciallyadaptedtolts particular purpose. If the digestive organs or the liver are out of order Dr. Herce's Golden Medical Dis covery is a perfect nnd scientific remedy. His ,1 Favorite Prescription" is specially devised for weaknesses and diseases of the womanly organs; and it is the most potent remedy for these troubles which has ever been invented, Where both these conditions exist these two medicines taken alternately constitute a thoroughly scientific course of treatment, which has been marvelously successful with thousands of dyspeptic, debilitated and nervous women. . ., "I take great pleasure In recommending Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Oolden Medical Discovery' and Pellets.'

" My trouble was female, weakness, kidney disease, neuralgia, change of life and bad flowing spells, I took eight bottles of Dr. I'lerce'i Pavonte Pre scrlptlon, seven bottles of Oolden Medical I)ls covery, nnd seven small vials of ' relicts.' The doctors did not help me any. I could not sleep night nor day. I suffered everything before I began to take Dr. Pierce's medicines. When I began to use them I weighed 100 pounds.

(Matt, xxlv, 42). COMMENDED Having warned against trouble the apostlo shows how to escnpo It Ho offered nothing now or startling, but that which has ever been, and must forovcr be, the secret of prosperity In tho church tho guidance nnd help of God. (Verso 33). Ho especially commended' them to the word of Dlvlno grace, tho sa cred Scriptures undoubtedly, tho writings of tho prophets and thoso of tho apostles then or to bo produced. Ho declared tnat this word was ablo to build up, In har mony with his utterances elsewhere (II Tim. ill, 36-17), nnd that the oulcomo Of such edlllcatlon would bo to give them an Inheritance among the sanctified. (Eph. 1, IS). Ho Is not here referring to thu fu ture reward which wo designate heaven, but to that splrltuil enlightenment and strength, that es:ulted Christian charac ter (Col. I, 12), which Is attainable through the combined Influence of grace and truth, (II 1'eter III, IS). Through theso thoy may go from excellenco to excellence, and be come strong and steadfast. UNSELFISH. Once moie, ns a con cluding thought, the apostle alludes to himself as a pattern for theelJcrs. (Verses 23 to 33). Ho knew tho besetment of all men, to which even ministers ond church ofllclal nro exposed, a deslro for gain and honor. Ho would have theso men unsel fish In their work, frco from tho mer cenary spirit. In his ministry he had cov. eted no man's goods. While It would have been proper for him to receive wages (Matt, x, 10), according to the Lord's own teaching, which Paul In nnother place ap proves (I Tim. v, IS), yet lie had chosen to provldo for himself with his own hands. (Acts xvlll, 20). By this example ho had shown them that they ought by labor to support tho needy (Eph. lv, IS), thereby becoming the very servants of tho poor. All this ho urged because it was in har mony with tho practlco and the precept of Jesus, tho Master. CONCLUSION. Primarily this lesson Is for church ofllclals. Their position Is pe culiarly sacred, nnd their duty most deli cate. They may advance or retard tho kingdom of God by their doing nnd their spirit. But thero is also Instruction here for every follower of Christ who may bo called to servlco In any place, however humble. Tho apostlo Paul In his conduct, motive, and words, presents tho Ideal toward which all ought to aspire In every endeavor. To be under tho complete con trol of the spirit as bound to a course of action, to bo unmoved by any prospect of personal loss, to bo sustained by tho high and holy calling, to so labor as to win tho approval of associates, to caro for the Interests of Christ's causo In tlmo of peril, to place firm reliance upon tho grace and word of God, to do all without consideration of pecuniary reward theso aro the exalted characteristics of a faith ful servant of Jesus Christ, whether or dained or unordalned. i ry urain0 !
