As the Methodist Conference of
Louisiana said: "The highest judicial
authorities in the world have dcclar-
ed that the lottery is the most per
nicious form of gambling, and is so
because ii is the most insidious, al
Turing and deceptive of all forms of
gambling. 1t does not require its
devotees to enter an odious gamb-

from public observation and criti-
cism, and, 10y secrecy, escapes the
odium of being gambler thus

power of the temptation. We do
not wish others to take our earnings
without a full and fair equivalent,

vote to endorse and legalize a

ignorant and the superstitious."
"The generality of games were
seldom practiced except for gamb-
ling to which they were inordinately
addicted. In betting every article of
clothing or property was staked and
their interest only stayed by the cx-
haustion of their means, when violent
passions were usually aroused and
fierce brawls ensued '--Jarri$' His

These are the days when De "slips off at afternoon recess" gives ths school house the "cold shake" and huk- ries to the south woods, there to gather the big green walnuts in piles; pounds the soft hulls off and picks out the mud, pausing occasionally to crush one with a convenient stone for immediate COZ sumption.

 It is the day before Thanksgiving-za glorious, golden, sunshiny and stimulst- ing day-and the old farmyard is full Q life.

He is inn sense. though he little imagines the sense. "Our riot dooms him to bleed rH- day" as Pope says, but not having oQw reason he can look on in the happiness of ignorance. The chopping block, staked fast for the convenience of crn- ting kindling, is before his eyes, and just beyond the ax is on the grindstone, hut he little imagines that it all has any r@- erence to him; that he is the central figure in the coming proceedings.

the wardwell home echo with merri- ment time and time again his absence on this occasion was beyond all human understanding.
 Professor Shell, of the university, had been invited as well and had remained away, as had the others. The professor made Mir. Wardwells house almost his home. It was in the little blue room overlooking the garden that he made those admirable translations of Horace which have astonished the litterateurs of two hemispheres. His erudition was beautiful element of a Wardwell din ner; it furnished solid background for the frothy mirth of the doctor, and the languishing songs of the musician, and the brilliant sentences of the editor, These gentlemen who have been emu. merated had been expected with their wives, and several other gentlemen with their wives had been expected, and con- sequently it was no wonder that The ophilus and Rachel Wardwell were plunged in bitterness when they were obliged to eat alone.
 "It is the most humiliating day of my life" said Ms. Wardwell. "l can only think of one thing for which l should be thankful, and that is that my busi- ness does not take me out of the house. l would be ashamed to look human being in the face if l had to go on the street. Crying won't do any good, Rachel-'weep no more, my lady, weep no more today Give the servants in- structions to dispose of these viands in any way they choose, and then let us try to forget this appalling occasion"
 And MT. Wardwell went bravely to his library and endeavored to bury his sorrow by studying quaint and curious volumes of forgotten lore"

I'LL WAIT JUST TEN MINUTES LONGER"
 Its horribly, shamefully awful" moaned Mrs Wardwell. "Ill never smile again"
 'I wish you would never groan again. Things are bad enough without your lamentations. Let us fall to; let us be as grateful as we may under the circum- stances. The time is up."
 And so that sorrowful pair sat down in gloomy grandeur and ate as best they could, but it was mirthless banquet and soon over.
 The absence of MT. Wardwell's friends was the most inexplicable thing in the world. He was renowned as the most graceful of hosts; his dinners were poems: his wife was charming; his home was a marvel of comfort and conven- fence. When the governors proclamation appeared in The Gazette, announcing that the goth of November would be ob- served as Thanksgiving day, Mir. Ward well, after due consultation with his wife, wrote beautifully worded letters to his friends asking them to take din ner with him on the eventful day-to use his own modest words, "Join me in Thanksgiving lunch in my home."
 That able man, the editor of The Ga zette, was invited. Who has not heard of the editor of The Gazette? He it was who wrote the stirring article entitled "Whither Are We DriftingY which ere ated cousternation from ocean to ocean, and placed the writer upon the pinnacle of fame at the early age of forty. It was customary with Mir. Johns, the ed- itor, to repeat the famous editorial from memory at dinner parties, and in his re- ply to Mir. Wardwell's invitation he had explicitly stated that he would deliver it, word for word, as it was originally writ ten immediately after the dinner.
 Mir. Silver, the musician, had also been invited. You all know about the illustrious Mir. Stiver, who composed so many delightful songs and sang them so irresisiibly to enchanted audiences. His picture was printed in the local papers, and it is altogether unreasonable to sup pose that you have not seen it. When ever Mir. Silver ate dinner at MT. Ward wells he invariably rendered several of his most charming selections, and he had written Theophilus that nothing short of an epidemic would keep him away on Thanksgiving day.
 Dr. Shadley had also received an in- yitation, and had answered that he would do himself the honor to be at the appointed place promptly, adding face tiously that his appetite would be con cealed about his person. The doctor was the most interesting and amusing story teller in the civilized world. It was quite impossible to listen to one of his anecdotes without being convulsed with laughter, and since he had made

Thanksgiving Gives Joy ard Comfort.


 Some beautiful thoughts regarding Thanksgiving are embodied in the fol- lowing paragraph published by Harper's Bazar some time ago: When the heart is sorest, grief the bitterest, loss the most extreme, the giving of thanks brings a relief to the spirit like that of rain to the thirsty earth. To give thanks to heaven that we have had the lost to love, that they are ours, since we love them still and we cannot love what IS not; to give thanks that they ever ex- isted, that we knew them and had to do with them, that we had pride and joy in them-to do this is to put ourselves into such close connection and conversation with the all giving power as to receive new joy almost as precious as the old. It is like the breaking of sacramental bread still with the beloved; 1t is shar- ing with heaven still their possession. It is lifting the whole being to the spir- itual plane where the beloved are. It is without meaning it, without knowing it, saying Thy will be done It is en- tering into the close intimacy of that power dark with excessive brightness. It makes heavenly joys real, and all but renews and revivifies the earthly"

nable, so that the ladies laughed until they cried. And the musician fairly surpassed himself in singing that touch ing ballad of his own composition, "When Mary to the Dentist Goes," which is now of world wide celebrity; and the professor discoursed so admira- ply of the foibles and idiosyncrasies of the second Ramesis that he was voted the most interesting speaker who ever enlivened Thanksgiving party; and the editor of The Gazette recited his famous article with unusual fervor, so that some of the ladies wept again.
 The dinner lasted two hours, and when it was over there was heard a ring at the doorbell, and who should have done the ringing but the foreman of The Gazette, whose doom had been pronounced. He had come to call the editor away on important business. and it was quite affecting to see that able man embrace his subordinate and say:
 Your wages are raised two dollars a week. By one of your blunders you caused Mir. Wardwell's dinner to be a misfit, but there never was a nobler dinner than have had today"

A RURAL. THANKSGIVING.

CHAPTER III.
THE COMING OF THE GUESTS.


 For several days following that mem- orable fiasco of dinner Mir. Wardwell led the life of recluse. He was a regu- lar contributor to great magazine, and his articles all treated of travels in for eign and unheard of countries. The fact that his descriptions of the manners and customs of the Hindoos and Bedouins and Malays were singularly true to life is all the lnore remarkable because he had never been away from his native village, and month or two after the date of this story he received personal letter from the editor of the magazine complimenting him upon his realistic description of the burning and eating of European traveller by cannibal. He wrote this story during the sad days fol- lowing the wrecked dinner.

Mrs. Wardwell was inconsolable. Poor woman, she couldn't find relief by writ ing articles about people she had never heard of, and she began to grow pale and was filled with @ nervous horror of meeting anybody, and she imagined that she was the laughing stock of the town.
 Nearly week had elapsed, and her sorrow was as heavy if not so hysteric as ever, when one day there was an en- thusiastic ring at the doorbell. There

no non union men can be found who have
any purpose of coming to Homestead. A
number of colored men from the Virginia
mills are said to be prepared to come here,
and the strikers do not bel eve that the re-

GRIEyED HERSELF TO DEATH.
Sad Case of Girl Who Received a"White
Cap" Letter from Her Best Friends"

JACKSON. Mich, Jnly 16-The death of
Miss Rose Woodruff, the adopted daughter
of Mrs. George Woodruff, OF this city, has
caused sensation here. On Wednesday
she was taken with spasms which resulted
in hemorrhage of the lungs and heart
trouble. from which che died yesterday.
She was q beautiful girl. tweDty-eight
years of age. About two week ago she re-
ceived White Cap letter with q skull and
GROSS homes printed in red ink upon il. On
the bottom was written, You are White
capped by twelve of your best friends.
Look out. We give you but two more of
those warnings." Miss Woodruff was greatly
distressed by this letter. and she became
nearly frantic with grief. 1t is believed
that the matter preyed on her mind to
ench an extent as to cause spasms. Officers
are investigating the case, and will at
tempt to punish the author or authors of
the letter.
