An old clergyman was in the habit,
as soon as he got into the pulpit, Of
placing his sermon in a crevice under
the cushion. where he left it during
the singing of the accustomed Psalm
One Sunday he pushed the sermon
book too far into the crevice, and lost
1t. When the Psalm was concluded,
he took up the Bible, opened it, and
thus addressed the congregatiOn-''My
brethren, I have lost my sermon, but /
will read you chapter Of job worth
ten of it."

CHAPTER xLyH-THE WHOLE TRUTH.

Valerie paced up and down her room for
half an hour after the riding party had de-
parted. She felt as II the world had dis
solved around her; even her uncle, she
knew, would be vexed, if not angry with
her, for having so made shipwreck of her
life. But the die was cast-there was no
help-none; her immediate need was to
school face and mien TO meet the others at
the luncheon-table without betraying that
she was in any trouble. The mask must
still be worn, however bitter the suffering
that it hid!
Perhaps had better have gone with
themp she said. "One cannot, when
alone, keep from thinking But / could
not be with him-no, could mott l must
read-anything to lessen this mad beating
in my brain, this sickening pain at my
heart-or shall go madP'
She left the room, and went down to the
library. She would be safe from intrusion
there; she knew Lady Elinor and Mrs.
Langley never went to the library, and
everyone else was out.
The great house seemed very silent as
the girl fitted down the broad stairs: hnt

COMPELLING GAMBLERS TO WORK

coupls of Pittsburg gamblers, having
by some means been captured in one of
the periodical raids of the police of that
city upon gambling houses, were COZ
victed last week and sentenced by the
court to pay fine of $1,000 each and un
dergo imprisonment at hard labor in the
workhouse for period of two years. Il
IS hard to say which were the most as
tonished, the Two gamblers who found
themselves, probably for the first time in
their lives, compelled to do some hoGest
worK for living or the community at
the unheard of conviction and punish
ment of two members of the gambling
fraternity. 1t can be taken for grante d
however, that if the Pittsburg treatment
of the gambling nuisance should become
the rule instead of the exception, gam5!-
ing in Pittsburg would soon become u
lost art. And what is true of Pittsburg
is quite as true of every city in which the
gambling fraternity spread their nets
for the dollars of the foolish and uu-
wary. Gamblers don't like prison fare
and prison accommodations, and if
assured that work and confinement
were the inevitable outcome of the bust
sess they would soon abandon it. The
Pittsburg incident shows where the real
obstacle to the suppression of gambling
lies. The two gamblers who found their
way into court were disposed of effective
ly "a all other gambling house keepers
would be il the courts were given a
chance 10 deal with them. The trouble is
that when the police make an occasiona
raid upon the gambling houses they gen
orally capture nothing but gambling ma
terials and a few boys. The keepers of
the dens usually escape and open their
vile places within few days. II the
police in every city would capture the
principal gambling house-keepers and
give the courts a chance 20 infict the
penalty of the law, gambling houses
would soon be few and far between. 1t
is to be hoped that the Pittsburg example
will become infectious.

THE RECENT LONDON MURDERS

London ia excited over number of
strange murders. In each case the vic
tim has been a woman, and after death
each body was horribly mutilated. AS
of the poorer class, ana not likely to have
money about them, no motive for these
horrible crimes, apparently all committed
by one man, can be imagined. The cir
oumstances recall to memory the singular
and brutal series of murders committed
in Austin, Tex, few years ago. In that
oase, also, the victims were always women,
and the murders seemed so purposeless
that the conclusion was general that they
crafty passion for bleod. 1t is difficult
to imagine human being capable of
committing murder after murder for the
mere love of killing, bat there can be no
question that such monsters have existed
and the Texas and London incidents
merely prove fact long known. The
great similarity between the recent Lon
don murders and those committed few
years ago in Texas suggests to the
Atlanta Constitution the thought that
perhaps the Texas fend, whose identity
wRs never discovered, and the London
monster are the same. The idea does not
appear unreasonable.

TEE preface of Gen. Sheridan's me
moir, which has just been made public,
was revised and signed by the general at
Nonquitt just three days before his
death. In it he says that the greatest
difficulty which confronted him was that
of recountiHg his share in the events
treated of, without entering too fully in
to the history of those years and at the
same time without giving to his own acts
an unnirited prominence. The worA lie
dedicated to his comrades in arms, and
left as a h.ritage to his children.
