NEW GAMBLING MACHINE.
An Automatic Quotation Machine Said tt
Be as Honest as q Stock Board.

An Automatic Quotation Machine Said to
Be as Honest as a Stock Board.
Recently man came here and
opened stock and grain exchange. In
the room adjoining the board where
the telegraphic quotations are posted
an outfit like that usually made for
bucket-shop was opened. Instead of
posting telegraphic quotations, how
ever, the proprietor put up stock and
grain quoting machine. 1t is con-
trivance-a piece of fine mechanism
something like an automatic clock. 1t
is wound up so that it runs from the
opening, at nine a. M. till the closing,
at four p. m. Every half minute two
cards, on which is printed the name of
a stock and its imaginary price, drop
down upon a dial, one beside the word
decline" and the other beside the
word advance" Aa the quotations,
which are printed in large letters and
figures, so that all in the room may
read, appear, the old ones drop out,
and the change is announced by the
ringing Of a gong.
When the change of quotation comes
it is announced by one boy, and an
other writes it upon the board, the
same as the quotations are taken from
a "ticker." When there is an advance,
of course there is a like decline, by
which the s'shorts'' suffer when the
''longs'' win, the same as legitimate
speculation. The broker charges the
regular one-eighth commission. The
correspondent visited the place, and,
finding more people before the ma
chine-board than that announcing le-
gitimate transactions, inquired of a
dealer If he did not think men were
pretty nearly insane when they played
against machine-a piece of mechan-
ism made to beat the dealers and win
for the owners.
"Oh, mol" exclaimed the enthusiastic
speculator, ..This machine is just as
fair as the regular speculation. You
see, when one man loses another wins
that is, if there is man on the other
side. The dealer only makes his COM
mission-that is, if there is always
man buying when another sells, and
vice versa. Why, man sold yester-
day all day, beginning with ten dol
lars, and he drew out one hundred and
twenty dollars. It's so quick and reg
ular, you know!'. Washington Cor.

Holding the Breath.

Deep breathing and holding the
breath is an item of Importance. Per-
sons of weak vitality find an uninter-
rupted succession of deep and rapid res
piration so distressing that they are dis.
couraged from persevering in the exer.
else. Let such persons take into the
lungs as much air as they can at q
breath and hold it as long as they can.
they will find grateful sense of relief
in the whole abdominal region. Prac-
tice will increase the ability to hold the
breath and the capacity Of the lungs,
After time the art may be learned Of
packing the lungs. This is done by
taking and holding the long breath and
then forcing more air down the trachea
by swallows of air. The operation may
be described by that of fish's mouth
in water. To those who have never
learned it it will be surprising to what
an extent the lungs may be packed.
Caution is at first needful, but later
practice will warrant large use OF the
treatment. The whole thoracic and abb
Jominal cavities will receive immediate
benefit, and continuance, with temper
ance in eating, and good air and right
exercise, will bring welcome improve

FINGER RINGS.
A Fashion which Has Come Down to
Us Through Centuries.

A Fashion which Has Come Down to
Us Through Centuries.
While there is touch of barbarism
in wearing rings on the fingers. yet the
civilized hand has so long been adorned
by them, that it would look plain and
unfinished without its hoops of gold.
The ancient Romans wore the ring on
the joint just under the nail. The He
brcws wore it on the right hand alone.
The Greeks wore their rings on the
fourth finger of the left hand. the Gauls
and Eritons on the third finger of the
left hand. In Pliny' time the betrothal
ring was an iron hoop, set with Lode
stone instead of a gem. The Romans
were even greater slaves to fashion than
we of the present day. They had win.
ter and summer rings, the weight and
color of the ring being adopted to the
season. The Greeks wore week. rings.
which were charms, and were always
canoes and intaglios. Talismanic
rings were also in use among the RO-
mans. Seal rings wero hsirlooms and
of great value in business transactions.
The wedding ring is of great antiquity.
1t is a common thing to find wives who
have been married lifetime, yet never
had allowed the wedding ring to slip
over the finger joint. 1t is considered
unlucky to take it off. To lose it iudi-

HARD ON NOSE.
A Commercial Transac ction I'm Which Mr.
a III, Ii

A Commercial Transaction i'm Which Mr.
Sehaumburg Is the Loser.
Nose Schaumburg, of Austin, is up to
all the tricks of trade, and was in the
habit Of playing it pretty sharp, not
only on his customers but also on the
firm of Schwindelmcyer & Co., from
whom he purchases his goods in New
York.
Schaumburg. on receiving an invoice
of goods, was in the habit of deducting
several yards from every piece of goods
he received. He claimed shortage on
every piece of goods, even when the
piece contained full measure or even a
surplusage.
Schwindelmeyer & Co., of New
York, suffered great deal from this
system of stealing, but rather than lose
Schaumburg's trade they allowed him
the shortage, until it became such a
regular thing that they resolved to play
for even, even if they did lose his trade.
Sohaumburg ordered big bill of dry
goods. The New York firm cut each
and every piece of goods in two, kept
one-half, sent the bill for the full num-
Der of yards ordered, but Kept the goods
back.
In due time Schaumburg received the
bill, and expecting the goods would al
rive in day or SO, acknowledge the re-
ceipt of the goods and sent on check
for the amount, deducting as usual
several yards shortage on each piece.
AS soon as the New York merchant got
this reply he shipped the goods and ad-
mitted the deduction for shortage as
just and proper.
Imagine the astonishment of Nose on
opening the goods to find that each
piece lacked half the number of yards
it should contain. AS he had already
claimed several yards shortage on each
piece and as the New York firm had
allowed it, the only thing for Nose to
do was to keep quiet about it.
1t is needless to add that he deals no
longer with Schwindelmeyer & Co., OF
New York. ..-Ie1ds SiftingS.

A PROFESSORS GAME.
His Students Are Determined to Haze
Him, and He Humors the Boys.


A party of smart young students in
certain town in Kentucky conceived
the brilliant idea last winter of hazing
their new professor. 1t was decided
after much deliberation to invite him
coon-hunling, and after leading him
about in the woods until completely
bewildered to abandon him, and let
him find his way back to the settlement
or remain in the woods all night.
Now, as the professor was a stranger
and weighed over two hundred pounds,
this scheme seemed too funny for
anything, and many hearty laugh
did they have over it. The invita-
ton was given and accepted; the
appointed night came, cold and
clear with several feet of snow on
the ground. Every thing moved along
as arranged. The professor seemed
guileless and unsuspecting, but beneath
his puffy eyelids now and then cleaned
an amusing twinkle. They had plod-
ded through the snow for several hours,
and the leader was about to give the
signal to disperse when the professor
sank to the ground with groan of
agony.
"Oh! oh!' he moaned, zone of my
attacks again. For mercy's sake, boys,
get me to place of shelter or I'm
dead man."
Talk about scared boys. Here they
were nearly five miles from the nearest
house and an apparently dying man on
their hands. Something must be done,
and quickly, too. A litter was hastily
improyised, and with coats for cush-
ions, the professor was gently laid
thereon and homeward they started,
sorry set of practical jokers, taking
turns at carrying their massive pre-
ceptor.
Not sound was heard but the means
of the professor and the grunts of the
students, who were straining every
nerve to keep from jostling the patient.
After what seemed u score of miles, the
weary, bedraggled fellows carefully
lowered their burden to snatch few
minutes rest before entering the vii
lage, which was within stones throw,
when, what was their surprise to see
the professor leisurely arise from his
comfortable couch and cody observe:
''Much obliged, boys! much obliged!
But one word. The next time an t
ed to play practical jokes I would Sc
lect an invalid for subject" and with
a chuckle he strobe off.
And those boys sat there in the snow
and swore until they melted a place
about them of half an acre.-Sd9n, TIE

Vienna Suicide Statistics.

In Vienna 1928 persons committed
suicide in the year 1885, q more than
in 1884. Of these 271 were males, SO
females; the youngest was boy of IL,
the oldest woman of S3 years. One
hundred, including 9 women, hanged
themselves, rs men and 2 women shot
themselves, Ga men and II women
drowned themselves, II men and II
women used poison, 12 men and 9
women jumped from high place, ETC.
The largest number of suicides took
place in January and June. the smallest
In August. Insanity, alcohol, d isease,
offended pride. poverty, fear of punish
ment and disappointment in love were
the principal causes.-N. Y Post.

Taken for German Spies.

Intending visitors to France would do
well to provide themselves with pass
port, and to have it properly cise, to
judge from the experience of Mr.. Stan
ley Weyman and his brother near Pau.
For some cause or another, the unfor-
tunate pair were arrested on suspicion
of being German spies and lodged in
most uncomfortable cells during Il whole
night, and even some hours aftes tele-
gram had been received from oHr Vice
Consul at Pau establishing their identity:
One of the brothers was in possession OF
a passport, as well as a bankers letter
of recommendation, but the village
officials would not accept these as proof
of identity, and the Procureur of Oloron
when ordering their release, refused to
grant any redress, OH the score that the
passport was not Uise for France. and
the bankers letter was printed and not
written. This may be strict French
law, but should like to see the matter
taken up.-Loaadon Truth.

A BRIDAL GARTER.
An Ancient Alsatian Custom and It's
Dfsax axreeable Results.

An Ancient A1Satl8n CuStO" anu 1t0
Dfsagreeable Results.
The old custom still prevails at we'd
dings in Alsace for the friends of the
groom to claim the brides garter for
salisman or trophy. This part of the
ceremony generally takes place at the
wedding meal. Formerly the bride was
obliged to allow one of the young men
20 take off her garter in the presence of
all the guests, but in our more prudish
times she takes it off herself, handing
garter is then cut into several pieces,
every guest receiving his portion. The
ladies wear it on the left breast, the men
zen boutonniere." All guests wear this
token during the festivities. Recently
the niece of the burgomaster of Ortsche-
beiler, Miss Zimmerman, was married
to Mr.. Lerbs, of Ullenheim. During
the dessert the garter was cut and di-
vidcd among the guests. 1t was red,
white and blue. Thus each of the
guests was decorated with the French
colors. Some Of them promenaded the
streets, and in the evening appeared in
the cafes still wearing the trophy. Sew
tavern-keeper, Gcist of Schlettstadt,
wore the little ribbon next day on
railroad trip. A conductor, feeling
himself called upon to make some
unpleasant remarks, MIR. Geist
retorted with abusive epithets.
The matter was reported to the
prosecuting attorney. The official saw
in the wearing of French colors, upon
the streets and in public places (and
more especially the day after the cele-
bration of French national festivaD,
political demonstration; and conse-
qucntly caused the arrest of all the par
ticipants in the wedding dinner. The
ten culprits were brought before the po-
lice magistrate at Colmar. Singularly
enough, the charge was brought under
an old French decree which, under the
Republic, was probably issued against
royalist maneuvers, prohibiting the
wearing or exhibition Of seditious en-
blems under severe penalties. Mr.. Geist
was charged in addition with insulting
an officer. All the accused admitted
having worn the little ribbons, without,
however, noticing it's colors, but pro-
tested against the assertion that po-
ltical demonstration was intended. The
prosecuting attorney, however, insisted
upon the point, and demanded the pun
ishmcnt of the accused under the law
of 1913. The defense claimed that the
wearing OF ribbon in the button-hole,
especially upon such an occasion as
wedding, could not be punishable un-
der law against the wearing of sedi-
tious emblcms. The magistrate, more
sensible than the prosecuting attorney,
c;.loI with tho 6lafanca dao1oripu thot
he could not see the violation of the law
in question, and discharged the accused.
Thus ended this queer attempt of en-
forcing German patriotism in the old
French province of Alsace.-M Y. Her.

A SOFT THING.

Why a San Francisco Dude Gave the Nit
ten to One Girl.
Clarence Harris is a San Francisco
dude who takes periodical trips into San
Joaquin County to visit rich farmers
daughter. The girl don't care a straw
for him, but tolerates his visits because
some of the neighbors' girls are en-
vious. Last week Clarence, in all the
splendor of new suit, hied himself to
his dulcinea's home and proceeded to
make himself agreeable. They walked
about the farm for an hour or SO, and
returned to the house. Clarence sat
down on bench outside the kitchen
door to smoke cigarette, while the
girl went in to assist her mother. He
saw the inevitable small brother grim
ming at him. Now, Clarence don't like
