The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hull's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address, F. J.

The fact that the Presbsterian church is securing two lecturers here should not del ract from the interest in the High School course. The High School course should be made to succeed by the liberal support and patronage of a general pubI'c. The city needs a lecture course each year and the High School management gives us one whereby no one reaps any pecuniary reward, all the profits, in case there are auy, go to the library fund of the High School and will be used in buying new books. So soon as the new building is ready for use a room will be set apart for a pubiic library that will be of great advantage and profit to our people. Do nofc let your interest lag in the lecture course that is especially for the interest and good of the general public.

THE SOCIABLE GAME.

BOSTON SOCIETY'S RADICAL INNOVATIONS AT POKER.

Decks of Sixty Cards and "Kingdoodles" Among the New Features—Sympathy For Losers and Luncheon With "A Wee

Nip" For All—The Little Kitty.

Could the late Minister Schenck, who gave to the world during his diplomatic life a treatise on the fascinating American game, attend a modern poker party he would certainly declare that the world has moved backward, in one respect at least.

Very few people outside certain circles of the Back Bay have any conception of the extent to which poker playing is curried in that section. The whole locality is divided into '"sets," and it is customary for each one to hold a session at his or lier house nearly every night in the week.

The usual hour for beginning play is 8 o'clock, and it is customary for the ladies to dress for the occasion, whilo tho gentlemen not infrequently array themselves in full evening costume.

The standard limit is 10 cents, one reason for making it so small being that the conscientious shall not feel that they are gambling. It is frequently remarked by this one and that one that they have not come out for the purpose of making anything—only to have a social time. This statement appears somewhat incongruous when placed side by side with the look of satisfaction that is noticeable when a good sized jackpot is taken in.

Another feature of society poker is the great amount of sympathy expressed for the players when the cards are running badly and they have been called upon to interview the bank for the fifth or sixth time. The heaviest dealers in sympathy are those who have the largest stack of chips before them. It does not cost anything, and it is believed by the ones who peddle it out that it will impress the others with a belief that they are real generous. But a careful observer will notice as the game progresses that the unlucky one is always raised by those who believe they have the best hands, notwithstanding the size of their stacks.

This is called poker table sympathy and is as shallow and meaningless as much of tho talk heard among society people.

Generally there are three hours of play, after which the hostess asks her guests to a light repast, consisting of sardines, crackers, cheese and sweetmeats. Bottled beer is the favorite beverage, but there are instances on record where something stronger has been indulged in. A great many society people of both sexes drink rum punch, lemonade dashed with whisky and plain gin.

The usual time devoted to refreshments is 15 minutes, as all are anxious to get at the cards again.

Now the peculiar features of society poker, which are contrary to the "formula" presented by the lamented Schenck, are novel and numerous, and while they are readily accepted by ninetenths of those who play just for the fun of the thing, yet the other tenth is unalterably opposed to them, but, acting in accordance with the principle that the majority should rule, all efforts to havo the game rid of them have been abortive.

The most pain that the small minority experiences in playing the evoluted game is when the GO card decks are brought in. It frequently happens that seven and eight players are present at a sitting, and when everybody "stays" the cards fall short, which necessitates gathering up the "dead wood" and filling out the hands from it. There is a well grounded superstition that these discards have been robbed of everything of value, and that to draw from them is equivalent to throwing the chips into a redhot stove. To in a measure meet these exigencies 11 and 12 spot cards have been added, making the pack consist of 60 cards instead of 52. Those who have been accustomed to play at the clubs, where the game still retains all its Schenckian purity, have a chill when they find these obtrusive cards are to confront them.

Another innovation is the "riugdoodle." Where the word originated is a mystery fully as deep as the practice it designates.

A ringdoodle is declared when a hand has been called and fours are shown. Then follows a round of jack pots, the holder of the winning hand starting them. Blue chips are put up to correspond with the number of players. Of course this makes a heavy drain on tha stacks which have been lowered through the evening by ill luck, and if the owner of one of these happens to be an opponent of the ringdoodle, he goes off on a long dissertation on how the game was once played. Of course around of jack pots would be equivalent to a ringdoodle, but it comes easier to some players to pay on the installment pl:-.n.

It has now become the custom to make a discount of one red chip for every jack pot. Although this is a pretty heavy rake off, yet it all comes back to the players just before the wind up for the evening.

When time has crept on toward midnight, the keeper of the kitty announces that around of consolation jacks will be played. The chips are divided into a number of piles corresponding with the number of players, and the extras are placed in the center of the tible with the individual contributions.

When society plays poker, there is always a big supply of cards ou hand. If luck runs badly for a player anew pack is demanded, but it is rarely fortune changes her plans. She names the unfortunate ones before the game starts, and no form of device will bring about an alteration in her programme.—Boston Herald.

A strenuous soul bates cheap success. It is the ardor of the assailant that makes the vigor of the defendant.—Emerson..
