The Retort Courteous.

The Supreme Court of Missouri followed Kentucky and decided that a poker deck is not a gambling device. l’oker is a game of skill. I wonder how much of Ed Wallace’s s.>4o was spent for ‘•instruction” in this skillful science.-Oxford Tribune. Well, Johu, while we consider your question quite an impertinent one, we don’t mind informing you that the amount will fall considerable short of the S4O you hist in Otto Shenkenberger’s gambling den, in Lafayette, three weeks ago.-Kowter Republican.
