AN ODD DECK OF CARDS.
A Chicago Sport Has Spent Twen-
ty Years in PickinK Up a
Hack.
Frank Damek a member of the
sporting fraternity of Chicago has
probably the queerest deck of cards
in the world says the Chicago Tri-
bune. He has been twenty years col-
lecting the pack and is exceedingly
proud of it. He first began by pick-
ing up playing cards in the street
when he happened to run across
them. In this way he got fifteen or
more before he began striking dup-
licates. Some days he would find
two or three and then it would be
months before he would see another
stray pasteboard. But he perse-
vered and always kept his eyes open
to add to his strange collection.
In ten years he had all but thirteen
cards necessary to complete his deck.
In the next three years he considered
himself lucky in finding all but four.
The missing ones were the jack of
clubs the deuce of diamonds the
eight-spot of diamonds and the trey
of spades. In the course of another
year he picked up the eight of dia-'
monds and six months later was
overjoyed to find what he at first
thought was a full deek of cards lying
on the sidewalk on Dearborn street
between Adams and Jackson streets.
He thought his long search was at
an end and that he could easily com-
plete his wonderful deck. The jack
of clubs and the trey of spades were
there all right but five or six cards
were missing and among them the
deuce of diamonds.
It seemed as though he would nev-
er be able to secure his fifty-second
card but the other day he entered
one of the suburban trains on the
Northwestern and almost the first
thing he saw was the duce of dia-
monds face upwards in the aisle. It
was gilt-edged and glossy backedthe
finest of them all. He had been
searching for it for five and a half
years and breathed a sigh of relief.
The pack is composed of cards ot all
qualities from the cheapest to the
highest priced. Some are clean and
bright and others are soiled and well
worn.
—Frank 8. Hawkins of St. Louis
aged 35 years died this morning of
consumption at the Maverick hotel.

The Woman of Today.
A Loudon woman writes: The
grace the charm the peculiar flavor
of femininity which made women ir-
resistible and gave them an almost
terribly potent influence as queens of
society to be w orshiped and admired
is fast disappearing and another
class of women is rising up. Learned
dames shabbily dressed and untidily
“coiffed” who wear spectacles and
home-made clothes who kilt up their
petticoats in the street and show
worsted stockings and clumsy boots
stalk about unblushingly talk a
good deal write to the papers
and while they earn a con-
siderable amount of respect bore men
immeasurably. On the other hand
all the frivolous women the girls
whom the “chappies” like who tousle
their golden or auburn hair with
much crimping of hot irons who
spend a life’s ransom on tightfltting
bodies abnormally small waiste and
big feather fans whoflirtabominably
sit out half the evening in the con-
servatory with a man whispering
and listening to inane trivialities be-
hind the shelter of a palm or the
large flabby leaves of a bigouia plant
who enjoy the Gaity Theater and
think the* “Pink Dominoes” quite a
nice play and vote their parents
dreadfully low and behind the times
poor things! Tne third and most
modern class and to a certain kind
of man very "fetching” are
the athletic girls who ride hard
shoot smoke walk as far as
their brothers are never tirde until
they collapse and go to pieces gener-
ally in middle age and are always
voted “a real good sort.” People
marry not for love for we cannot dig-
nify the calf love the purely sens-
ual and material instinct as love but
from all sorts of motives inexplicable
tc those who are not in “our world.”
An amusing instance of this happen-
ed in Ireland the other day. when a
I young lady proud of her connections
discoursing of people’s motives in
marriage said to an old farmer’s
wife “Ah well you see I married
for family.” “Faux then madim”
she said “the blessed Virgin have
