"What are you going to have for dessert?" "I'm not going to have any dessert." she replied dreamily; "I have had so much wedding cake I'm tired of sweets. Lean this way, dear, just one modem." And as he complied with her request she brushed his collar daintily with her hand kerchief. "What is it?" he asked gruffly. "Rice," responded his companion de murely. Then the man's face assumed red, white and blue tints, and he looked dag gers and other sharp instruments at the girl, whose eyes were dancing.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature, of The Incident That Gave Them the Name "Dead Man's Hand." The term "Dead man's hand" in poker means tens and treys, and the hand got its name because they won when the man that held them was dead. Many years ago a party of planters and cowmen had a sitting on one of the bWats ply.ing up and dywn the Mississip pi. Among thorn was a young fellow whose mother had sent him to New Or leans to bring back a large sum of money with which to pay off a mortgage on the homestead. He may be called Smith. Bad luck and bad whisky very soon knocked a hole in his wad bigger than a pound of dry wool. Along in the night sorae one opened a fat, juicy pot for the "Downs," and every one staid. It being Smith's last say, he did the usual ele vating, and every one staid again. This effort took about half of what was left of the original sum. We then drew' cards. The opener drew three, the next two drew two each, and the last three drew one each. Smith was included in the one card (draw. The opener then bet. Smith promptly raised with all the money he had left. As he was a rank bluffer the other players sized him up pretty close, and he was called by the opener, one of the two card men, and two of the one card men. He now stood to win about twice as much as he had originally. If he lost, he might as well shoot himself, for he could never face his mother without the money for the him and bent over on the table with his head resting on his arms. The opener didn't help his pair, anoth er played made a pair of aces by draw ing to a four flush, a third had two pair, sevens and fives, and the fourth had a pair of kings and an ace kicker. As Smith did not answer when asked to -show his hand and as he was supposed to have fallen asleep a man named Hal1 pin turned his cards over and showed a pair of tens and a pair of threes, which, being the big hand, entitled Smith to the pot. After vainly trying to rouse him one of the players, a doctor, raised his head and, looking long and carefully, pronounced him dead of heart disease. The money was sent to his mother, and Smith finished his trip as freight. Since then tens and treys have been called the dead man's hand, and it is a hand that is rarely beaten in draw poker. Aces and eights are called the gambler's hand and is popularly supposed to be in vincible. New York Sun.
