VOLUME VriT. NEW WESTMINSTER, B. C, JUNE 24, 1890. NUMBER 121- —A CASE OF BLUFF. How a Cool M n Won Twenty-Two Hun* j rtrod Dollars ut I'oker. A little garao of draw played at one of. the leading hotels in Denver has boon a subject of interest to semi-sports late-; ly, says tho Chicago Tlmos. Tho players were prominent men—ono a leading and wealthy oattlo-tnan of Colorado, whose figure has only recently assumed nldor- manic proportions; one a Congressman from Georgia, and the third a scion of the cotton aristocracy of New Orleans. , A throe days' siege was agreed to. A room was engaged and o.lllcc hours arranged. They were to begin playing at one o'clock in tlio afternoon and quit. promptly at ten. Lunch wits served in the room, and a. new deck wns to be used \\ for ench deal. The limit was placed at j §100, but it was optional with any one | of tho trio todeclaro tbo limit o(T at any time. The Ilrst day's play resulted in favor of no ono particularly, but the very first hand dealt on the second afternoon found two sots of threes and, a four flush out. Tlio blondo from Now Orleans had three and knew what they wore worth, so ho* j opened hor up for S100. Tbo: big fellow tyom Colorado had tbo samo sort of a temper, and promptly knocked i off the limit by depositing §500 worth ' of ivory on tbe table. Our Congress-1 man with tbo anxious faco looked sol-1 omn, but bad not dreamed of any black oatfj, so ho "saw" what was going on. | In tbe draw Mr. N, did not improve i things, but lookod as oxpressivo as a j last year's base ball. Tho Colorado man \\ made fours, and tho Congressman got the right color and shape. Ono hundred ] wont uit as a feelot. Mr. Long Horn ! mado it an ovon 3300. Tbo Georgian thought an aco-ilush good, and raised nim §500 moro. Mr. jr. laid his cards ' lown on tbo table. ''Is my papor good, gentlemen?" "Certainly," was the reply. In a moment moro a check for §5,000 ay on tho table. The silenco was sad- ■ loning. Cattle were not very high tbat year, and four ten-spots woro quietly laid down. 'Tbo Congressman from: Georgia thought so, too, and bis beautiful fltifih joined the discards. Mr. N. coolly niked in the £3,200 pot and passed his band over to mo. IIo had threo duces. __ Mary Street. Lord's. Day Services at 11 a. in. and 7 p. in. Sabbntb School nnd Bible Class at 2;:I0 p. m. All seals free; strangers cordially welt■mned.-Rey.J. II.

If wink is sorved, do not attract the attention of overy ono to tbe fact that you do not drink it. Tbe time for a teinperanuo lecture Is not at the table of a friond who has dono you tho honor to invito you to hor houso. Qulotly shake your head und let tbe matter rest. In the old country you begin to eat as soon ns you tiro bolpod, but in Araorlca it is better tasto to waitvntil tho others aro ready. This Is a mooted question; different localities havo different customs. Do not ask for a second help of any thing at a dinner party. Of courso at home and whero there Is but one principal dish this rule is not obeyed. Always talto tho food offered in a courso, oven if you not wish to oat it. Itis much better to qulotly wait and talk whilo the others eat than to call tho attention of tho wbolo table to your likes and dislikes. Never pile up your small dishes'ipon your plato whon the servant come;) to romovo them. Novor fold your napkin unless you aro making a stay in tbe house and havo a napkin • ring provided for you. Lettuce, when sorvod without dressing, is always pulled to pieces with the lingers. W'uii'i' cross is also takon in tho fingers. It Is usually served In a shallow basket, or dish, upon a folded napkin, which covers tbo bottom and sides Heaped up with tho delicate green horb it makes a very ornamental dish. Asparagus is oaton both with a fork and also witli tbo fingers. But tho former is perhaps tho most ologant way. Celery is always taken from tbo dish with tho lingers If individual salts aro not used then tako somo stilt from tlie large salt stand aud place It on tbo corner of your but- tor-plate or on your plate. Whon corn is served on tlio cob, tako it in tho fin- ' gers. Some housekeepers provide little doilies for tlio purpose. Tho etiquette of euting u soft-boiled egg is rather a vexed question. Tho English eat itdi- i roctly from tho sholl.iisinga cup made to hold tbo egg upright and steady. Americans usually break tbo egg into a cup. Hi-: careful not to monopolize the table talk. Do not interrupt others. If you aro a dyspoptic do not talk of what does or doos not agree with you, but quietly oat what you can, and Bay nothing about it. I know a celebrated man who eats nothing .but potatoes, crackers and chocolate. Hut so nicely does bo manage, in chatting gaily, and making jokes whilo tho others eat, that vory fow peoplo bavo obsorvedhis scrupulous i care as to diet, and ho Is ono of the most delightful "diners-out" that I ovor ■ know. It is always proper to help yourself to j bread, cheeso and lump sugar with your | fingers, if tongs are not provided. Novor uso your own fork or knife or spoon to tako from tho common dish. If a plato of hot, unbroken biscuit is passed, you may break one off with your fingers, and also for your neighbor. Whon dishes are passed, help yourself as quickly as possible, and novor insist on somo ono having it first. It is supposed that tho carver knows what be intends for each guest, so you must take the plate tbat Is offered by tho waiter. >«&&.
