They agreed among them- selves that there must be no more raising of the limit and no more reck- less betting. The game must be one for amusement only. On the night when this agreement was solemnly concluded, they sat down and sent for the cards. Jim Corbett brought them. “T'll just sit and look on for a while,” he said. “May take a hand a little later.” One man took the cards out of the box and threw around for adeal. The dealer shuftied them and passed then for the cut. Then he dealt a hand while the banker was giving each man his checks. The first man after the deal bet the limit. Every man of the seven around the table came in, each “tilting” the pot for the limit. “Say,” said Corbett, “I thought you fellows were going to play light. That's a fine way to start out.” This evoked not even a response from the players. Each was sitting tight and covertly eying his neighbors. The dealer asked the first man how many cards he wanted. He stood pat. Every player around the board looked Startled. Then the next man stood pat. And after him the next and finally all seven, It was at that mo- Inent that some observed Mr. Corbett apparently about to choke In his secluded corner.

Great American Statesman and Patri- ot Rose to Immortal Fame From Humble Beginnings. On the 17th of January, tn’ 1706, Benjamin Franklin was born at Bos- ton. His father was a soap and candle- maker, his mother, the daughter of a Quaker poet of Nantucket. When Ben- jamin was ten he was taken from school aud set to work in his father’s factory. He never again attended a regular schoul, yet he became a schol- ar. He was inept and unhappy at his first occupation, his father ap- prenticed him to his brother to learn the trade of a printer. When he was seventeen he ran away from his broth- er and opened a printing office in Phil- adelphia, He pursued the career of printer and = publisher until 1736, when he was made clerk of the Penn- sylvania assembly. This was the be- xinning of his public career, and he rose steadily until he became one of the most striking figures In America. In France, when he was sent there as ambassador after the Revolutionary ® war, he became as widely known and loved as in his own country. so He Got the Job, The colonel of a negro regiment fn w France charged the adjutant with se- lecting a suitable soldier to serve as orderly at his billet. The adjutant combed the command for the proper man and finally found one who had been an elevator boy in a hotel—a siniling, gracious darkey, neat and re- spectful. When the man reported the colonel impressed upon him the necessity for tact. “Do you know just what I mean by tact?” he asked. “Yas, suh. Wen it comes to tac’ 'se right on de spot. Why, cunnel, jus’ les’ week I went into the bathhouse near mah billet, an’ foun’ one of de madam- selles there. I jest stepped back an’ says, ‘Purdon, monsteur!’ Now ef dat warn't tac’ den I don’t know whut is.” —The Home Sector. Not at Home. I was busy cleaning my gas stove when the door bell rang. I was just about to open the door when I saw it was our pastor. So I stood back be- hind the door and told my little son, Louis, to open the door and tell him I was at the store. But he pushed the door so far back that my toes stuck out from under the door, and when Louis told him I was out, he laughed and suid: “All right, sonny, but the next time your mamma goes out, tell her to take her feet with her.” I have a chain on the door now— Exchange.
