Though Great Britain boasts that
the sun never sets on her dominion,
the United States also enjoys that
distinction. When it is (J o’clock
p. m. in Alaska it is 9:40 u. m. of the
next day in Maine. Our area, in
cluding Alaska, is equal to the extent
of all Europe.with Italy and Turkey
excepted.
Texas is 312 times the size of Rhode
Island and might ask every man, wo
man and child in the world to reside
inside its borders, offering each indi
■ vidual a plot of ground 49 by 100 feet —
lour times the spaed taken by each
person in New York Oity. Texas
could bold England,lreland, Scotland,
Wales, Italy and Portugal, and still
have room .for a promenade around
this section of transported Europe,
California is our second largest state,
and in two of her counties—San Ber
nardino and San Diego—could be
packed Egypt, Switzerland, Porto
Rico, West Indies, Montenegro and
and forty-eight cities the size of Paris
Our forests surpass those of any
other nation, covering 500,000,000
acres, or one-quarter of our entire
territory. The value of the timber
cut every year is over $1,000,000,000 —
double the value of the mines. 4
We lead the world in manufactures-
The capital invested is $6,500,000,000.
Our coal fields are as large as France
in area; we produce every metal and
mineral valuable in the arts and in
our domestic trade we surpass the
world.
If Uncle Sam’s 4,564,641 farms could
be brought together they would form
one large farm sixteen times the size of
the New England States. This farm
would contain more than one-eighth
of our population, and with its build
ings and fences would be worth over
$13,000,000,000, or one-fifth of our
national wealth. First among nations
in agriculture is the United States,
-and the shipments of American farm
products to Europe are so great that
the people of the continent could not
maintain themselves in the present
condition if cut off from the product
of our fields.
Nearly half of the world’s Sunday
school scholars are in the United
states, the number being 6,718,432,
out of the world’s total of 20,268,633.
Grbat Britain and Ireland comes sec
ond, with 6,679,913. If Uncle Sam
gathered his Sunday-school scholars
together for a pocession, and had
them march at a flve-mile gait, four
abreast, fifteen inches apart, they
would take 115 hours, or four days

Is Poker a Game of Chance?
Magazine editors complain that of

and which must be read and rejected
the majority of the articles are writ
ten on subjects of which the writers
are wholly ignorant. They claim that
writers who confine themselves to sub
jects with which they are thoroughly
familiar seldom fail to attract atten
tion and secure access to the maga
zines. There is a sense of security
and force in the writing of any one

who writes of what he knows. Hence,
on the subject of poker-playing the
Dallas News sneaks as one having
authority. No Texan is permitted to
read the sermon on the Mount until
he can read the back of a poker deck.
Says the News;
It is learned from the Times-Herald
of Chicago that the police department
of that town has decided that “poker
is not a game of chance,” and the
Chicago paper comments: ‘‘This an
nouncement probably will shock and
surprise a great many patrons of the
game who have played it as long as
their money lasted and have ‘gone
broke’ while firm in that belief that
they were bucking the tiger. But
perhaps Chief Ripley is right. A
gambling game, properly speaking,
must be a ‘game of chance, ’ and every
one knows that the average man who
experiments with poker lias no chance
at all.” Whoever undertakes to de
cide this issue will have a job on his
hands. Perhaps an unprejudiced and
scientific investigation would result in
the decision that poker is in some as
pects a game of chance and in other
aspects it is not. And this can be said
of life in general, of agriculture, law,
medicine, mercantile pursuits, politics,
train robbing and other gainful avoca
tions. If a man stands pat on a
straight and an opponent makes a
four card draw and pulls out a flush
or a full,. tnere is much chance or
luck in the play; but if a man stands
pat on a bob-tail flush and runs out
opponents who hold from a small
pair to aces up it is a matter of nerve
more than anything else, for the deal
has resulted altogether in favor of the
losers of the pot. So it is in planting
wheat in the panhandle. A farmer
plants and Apollo may water, but in
every wheat-growing region on earth
reaps abundantly the panhandler will
get a trivial price for his product, and
he will not win the reasonable fruits
of his toil; or the price may be up and
and the planting may be made and
either drouth or rust may prevent the
planter’s connection with prosperity.
The element of chance doubtless en
ters into every department of human
action. The policemen of Chicago
probably know more about poker
than most of us have ever heard, and
it may be that they play a cinch
game, but at all events there must be
some element of chance in the result
of every hand player. Still, where a
man straddles the blind and proceeds
to raise all the other players out of
the game, it shows that nobody wants
to take any chances. On the other
band, where the pot is juicy and the
kitty has a cinch on three chips,
and the opener only charges a dollar
or so for entrance, if a courageous
soul dis >ards his hand and rests his
future happiness with the deck and
draws a flush of a king full, chance
has certainly smiled upon him and he
may be depended upon to order
drinks for the crowd, sweaters and all.
Without attempting to decide this
great Chicago issue and having only a
theoretical, hearsay knowledge of the
details of the great game, the News
can only say that the American peo
ple have an uuspeakeable fondness for
it and will probably always have.
The fact that our legislators frequent
ly vote to suppress it, and within
twenty minutes after adjournment
may be found bluffing on a bobtail in
order to save an ante, shows that the
game is likely to survive the law.”
There is a breezy air about this es
say that is truly Texan. It scents of
wooden cuspidors, sawdust on the
floor, a rack of checks on the sideboard
and a world of liquid wonders within;
it suggests tables covered with green
baize, with shiny brass tacks around
the margin of the slot in the center,
into which whatever enters leaves
hope behind; it suggests bats pulled
down over eyes that are wary, and
the feverish fight of a night in less
than no time. There is in the News’
article a familarity with the modus
operand! and the technique of the
entertainment that stamps it genu
ine. ,
WHITE PIQUfi DKESB FOI
A SMALL BOY, WITH DOU

gj TION AND EMBROIDER!
FOR TRIMMING.
The small boy is not overlooked In the
Summer scheme of fashons—indeed there is '
quite as much variety in the make and finish I
of the little lad's garments as there is in those
of his elders. A good suggestion for making '
piqu4, linen and gingham dresses is given in
the dress Illustrated. The body is closed at
the back and a plait is formed at each side of
the center, the space between the plaits being
covered with a row of insertion. The skirt is
laid in kilt-plaits that turn toward the back to
give the effect of a broad box-plait at the
front. An attractive feature is the double
collar, which is deep and round and prettily
bordered with embroidered edging. A dainty
little dross that was cool and practical was
copied from this in linen and trimmed with
insertion, embroidered edging and sma 1 pearl
buttons. Heavier dresses appropriate for
country wear and especially satisfactory for
the seaside are made up like this of flannel <
and serge and any nu-t.bor of gingham and I
chambray dresses are duplicates of this.
The Butterick pattern is dress No. 9172; 4
tizea; ages, 2 to 5 years; any s ze, 20 cents.

it requires considerable finesse to make a
waist that will detlnc the figure handsomely
and yet allow no seam at the back or front.
It is the fancy of the moment for well rounded
figures to possess just such a waist, and if the
illustration is closely observed the beauty and
good style of the mode will be apparent.
Military-blue cloth is pictured in the basque
shown in the illustration and a lattice trim
ming of velvet ribbon gives it a very dressy
effect The seamless bias front and back are
pulled smootlily over the lining, which is fitted
with perfect accuracy and dosed at the center
// idl
of the front, while the closing of the waist is
made along the left shoulder and under-arm
seams. The gores at the sides give a smooth
,effect and the closb-fitting sleeves have ful
ness at the top draped in butterfly effect by
gathers at the center; the wrists are shaped in
Venetian points.
Soft, flexible goods will make up best by the
mode, as they will stretch well over the fitted
lining. Cashmere, serge and cheviot are also
commended and they may bo trimmed accord
ing to personal fancy..
A round hat of fancy straw trimmed artisti
cally with plumes and ribbon is worn.
