A Bet OF a Thousand Dollars That

The gambling instinct is strong In
most men, but tits seldom that one
hears of man with sufficient nerve to

wager of this kind has just leaked out
in which two prominent members of
Walnut street club are concerned.
These two men have been close friends
for years One Is d doctor and the
other Il lawyer. "A year ago the law
yer, who had previously enjoyed the
best of health, began to complain OF

lawyer. who is a man of 1indomitable
pluck and will power, was naturally
stunned for a moment. After the first
shock had passed OFF, his true nature

that his diagnois was cerrest, and was

Departure in Social Usage.

We are told that the numerous tour
lists to foreign lands during the present
year have noticed and will transplant
10 our soil and society severe radical de
partures in social usage; that the shak-
ing of hands has quite gone out of style
abroad; that ladies no longer take the
arms of gentlemen, except when walk
ing out of doors in the evening-not
even in going to dinner. To what ex-
tent these changes, and others, will be
adopted by our stay-at-home people
remains to- be SeeR.a~sWe are not In
formed as to the reasons lying back
of the more radical of these changes.
1T may be fear Of 1.-The deadly nil
crebe," which figures so extensively.
Some modern reformers have recently
undertaken on it's account to abolish
the kiss-at least the merely social kind !;
but the effort has not been. entirely
q success. A robust young lady when
warned that she periled her health by
kissing and being Kissed, very deter
minedIy replied, II don't do kissing as

that the good old custom of taking a

poo AND CAT IN CHURCH.

Ten Minutes Of Devotion Which.
The worshipers at the Oh Irch of the
Ascension in Auburn had novel exper-

had been sung, the white-reped young
clergyman had finished his exhortation
to the dearly beloved brethren the

he did not notice that he was followed
by companion. When the parishioner

Monday afternoon when business
was heaviest at the Union Station. ard
people were crowding in every direc-
ton to take their respective trains,
an innocent-looking bundle slipped from
beneath the arm Of a stylishly dressed
lady and fell to the platform. ~-
. The bundle lay directly in the track
of the people, and many daintily GLOW
ed hand was extended toward the pack
age, but withdrawn as the owners rec
elected themselves. Finally ring of
gentlemen formed about the package,
each trying to make the others think he
had other business than watching the
package. 1 ~sa ns If 81 ....-
A well-known business man of this
city stood the suspense as long as pos
sible and then took a youhgster. who
happened to be .lounging about the de-
pot to one side. The boy was seen to
put something in his pocket and then
walk along and pick up the package.
Elbowing his way through the crowd
he sought out the man who had tipped
him with a nickel and handed him the
package.
The package was quickly undone,
and horrors! resting side by side was
large slice of cheese and half-pint
pocket flask. Quickly slipping the
flask into an inside pocket the man
was about to walk off when the same
stylishly dressed lady who had drop
ped the bundle rushed up to him with
her nose pointing skyward.
II understand, you have picked UP
package, sir, that belongs to me-"
The man excused himself and went
down into his pocket. BY this time
quite a delegation was standing around
looking on. The hand was withdrawn
ard extended toward the woman. She
gave che look at the flask grasped in the
mans hand and. with look that
would have killed at forty yards, turn
ed around and swept into her train.

Keeping Poultry.

Keeping poultry teaches love in its
I broadcast sense. 1t compels man to
love his home, to watch the little mat
tiers, to be regular, to be frugal, to be
Industrious. All these go to make q
happy life, and to he in love with that
which is dear to him. 1t is an old say
ing that he who has no pets has no
love for home The woman who de-
lights In the company Of neither bird
nor animal finds the society of gossips
and street runners the most attractive.
The poultry woman makes the model

Her home and her fowls are everything
and in them she finds comfort, health

1T now appears that the government of

last year, it is officially stated, there
were fourteen centenarian deaths regis
