When he departed he owed for board, but Mr. and Mrs. Thomas are not so much concerned over this as they are anxious to learn of his whereabouts.

George Ginader, who with his brother Frederick, conducted a barber shop on lower Jackson street, in the rca of George Jenkins' drug store, has disappeared, no one knows whither. A week ago Wednesday his brother Fred vent to l'ittston owing to ill health, leaving George in charge of the shop, Shortly after his departure George closed the parlors and went home to dinner. That was the last seen of him.

Nothing was then thought of his absence for a day or two, but his con tinued stay caused anxiety at his home on North Bromley avenue. Word was forwarded to Fred Gin ader, who returned on Wednesday of the present week. He was unable to account for his brother's absence and could not advance any reason for George's strange action. There seems to be no cause for his departure, as the two brothers were exceedingly devoted to each other and affairs at home were pleasant with George. Sometime ago the missing man read in one of the newspapers about a barber who inherited a large sum from a customer in New York after years of faithful service and George related the incident to his wife, adding that he thought he would go where "faithful service" would be appreciated.

George is about 5 feet ti inches in height, weighs 140 pounds, is HO years old, smooth face and black curly hair. One of his lower limbs is "straight," the result of an accident several years ago. Any information concerning his whereabouts will be gladly received by his wife and relatives. REPUBLICAN CLUB MEETING. Frank R.

CONNOLLY WALLACE: 127 and 129 Washington Ave. RULES OF PROGRESSIVE POKER. Came When Small Fortius It Needed to IMar Each Band. Progressive poker is a game not often played in this country, though it is said to be comparatively common in England. It is not played anywhere excepting among those who are eager for the excitement of high play.

The limit in this game is not a restriction of the bet to a given amount, but a rule against betting less than a given amount. To illustrate, six men are playing, and A lias the age. He antes, say $1. looks at his cards, and if he desires to play he must put up $2. Up to this point the game is the regular one.

however, cannot come in by paying $2. If he thinks his cards justify a play, he must put up $4. I in turn must put up fS, JIG and If then A desires to play, it costs him iu addition to the one he put up originally, and each player in turn must make his ante good to the extent of $04 before he can draw cards. In that case, $1 being the original ante, If all six should come in and no raise should be mode beyond the compulsory doubling each time, there would be $3S on the table before the draw. It must be remembered, however, that onch player when it comes to be his turn to bet may raise if he chooses, though not less than the amount he is called upon by the rules to bet, if he bets at nil.

Thus when he comes in, must put up i or drop out. If he desires to raise, he may do so, but his raise must be at least $4. If does not raise, but simply comes in, and wishes to raise, he must raise not less than It will be seen, therefore, that in case all the players make good, each raise made by any one of them means that the pot is at least doubled. Even if some drop out, Bs some would be likely to do unless the game were played in Bedlam, or some extraordinary hands had been dealt, the geometrical progression in the betting makes important money to be played for, evc if only three or four of the players When tho betting begins after the draw, the same rule obtains as to a raise. A player may either see the amount put up by the bettor before him, or he may raise, but if he raise he must raise the full amount of the bet or, in other words, double.

This last variation is to make it compulsory on each player, instead of merely seeing the bet that has been made, to double the stake or drop out. Thus, if after the draw should bet $1, must either lay down his cards or bet $2. has also, of course, tbe privilege of resigning, but if he stays it costs him $4. And this doubling is kept up until all have resigned but two. Then, when a player has only one antagonist left, he has the privilege of calling.

It will be readily seen that no such game as this would ever become popular excepting among tho most desperate gamblers. As a matter of fact the writer has never known of its being played excepting In two or three cliques of the fastest men in London, to whom money was as nearly valueless os money ever can be. It is possible tbut it is played elsewhere, but the only way in which the average man could ever hope to be able to play it would be by making the chips of almost infinitesimal value or by the exercise of such self control as would lead him to stay out of every pot unless he had an extraordinary hand. That method of play would, however, tend to make the play monotonous Instead ot exciting, and the game would thereby defeat itself and nullify the very object of increasing the excitement.
