A number of our public school boys
died in this city last year victims Of the
deplorable habit. The physicians are
unanimous in condemning the use of ciga-
rettes by BOYS. One of the best known
physicians of this city, who is the chief
examiner for one of our most important
insurance companies has stated recently
in an interview that he would not ac-

the creation of a sentiment against the
vice among the boys themselves. This is
attained by first pointing out the evils

of each department a short earnest talk,
calling their attention TO the terrific com
petition going on in all large cities for en-
ployment among boys as well as men, and
in plain and simple language demon
strating to them the theory of the sur
vival of the fJtest: indicating to them
how offensive the habit Is TO most en-
ployers, and how many will not employ
cigarette smokers, not alone because they
are preiudiced against the habit on their
own part, but because they know it is
offensive to their customers and
clients, and for the further reason
that they know that they cannot ex-
pect the same degree OF excellence in the
service of the boy who has surrendered to
this vice. The laggards and truants in
almost every school are cigarette hends
In San Francisco, where they have

clusion, after careful investigation, that

be participated in by two Of the sorriest
looking specimens of the equine family
that | ever saw. Probably three hours
were spent in arranging the details of
the race, with the various bets. Every
Indian was personally interested, for he
had something bet on the result. At
last the ponies were brought out with
ton as to which one would fall down be-
fore going half the distance. The ponies
were brought to the scratch and looked
as sheepish and haggard as any worn out
hack horses ever condemned by humane
society.
1T WAS CONSIDERED LEGITIMATE.
The riders had great difficulty in fore
ing their steeds to the post, and it re-
minded me very forciDly of slow mule

given and, presto, what a change was

with fire and went off with bound that

of work in race. The losing Indian was
beratel soundly for allowing the blanket
10 be thrown, but the bets were paid
with philosophical air and another race
was arranged for.
Gambling is not a secret vice among the
Indians 1t is lndulged in by all members
of the tribe and the more expert the
gambler becomes the higher he stands in
the estimation of his fellows To have
the fame of being a successful gambler
causes an Indian to be looked up to al
most as much as if he were a successful
warrior There is no fear Of shocking
the morals of even the highest chief by
proposing game with him, in fact, it
rather fatters him. One point OF ad-
vantage held by the red man over his
white brother is in the fact that when he
loses everything he possesses he is not
much poorer than he was before, and he
can readily recoup himself by making
raid upon some unfortunate and weaker
tribe. The white man may commit sui
eide, but the Indian simply looks after
victim.

AGAINST CIGARETTES.
Americas Leading Educator Writes Of
the Movement Among SChOOlbOyS.
Thousands Enrolling Everywhere.
How the idea Has Been Taken UP
BY Prominent Citizens and Parents.
(Copyright).


New York, April 21.-The principal
function of our American public schools
is to equip the youth of our land so that
they can iutelligently discharge the du-
ties of citizenship. This equipment must
include sound bodies, sound morals and
sound minds. The state is interested in
the proper development of these three.
Another way of stating the proposition
would be that health, character and in
telligenCe in its citizens are necessary to
the stability and prosperity of the state.
Weak, puny boys make dependent
men, recruits for hospitals and
infrmaries. Weak and vicious char
acter in its citizens fills the
jails and prisons, and imperils the very
existence of the state. Ignorance in its
citizens, where the right of suffrage is
almost universal, makes the state prey
to demagogues, and liberty and freedom
dangerous TO the republic. If the state is
to remain imperial, the imperium must be
sound and pure. The education, the lead
ing out of our youth, not their instruction
in the narrow sense, is the hope Of our
country Whatever stands In the way of
the most favorable conditions for this
development, it is the duty of those
charged with the administration of public
school education TO repress and remove.
Within the past ten years, and more
particularly during the last five years, a
vice insidi1us and demoralizing has fast
ened itself upon the youth Of the country,
and especially upon our school boys, in
way to call for the most earnest efforts TO
stamp it out, and that is the vice Of cigar
cite smoking. The crusade is Hnder way
and the crusaders are on the march
The vice is u specific one. Those inter
estsd in this movement have no grievance
against tobacco, quo tobacco, but only
against the particular way in which i'm
mature boys use tobacco. The juvenile
cigarette smoker does not indulge in tho
same manner that one is accustomed to
see man smoke cigar or a pipe, and APP
parently can derive no pleasure or salts
faction from that method; he prefers TO
draw In the smoke with q quick inhala-
ton that sends it well down into his
lungs, where a deposit of nicotine,
volatile oil of tobacco and the oil of paper,
remains after each operation. This de-
post is quickly taken up by the circula-
lion and distributed through the system,
causing injury TO health and character
and appreciably diminishing mental
power. Frequent and increasing indulg-
ence is an almost unvarying CHARACTERISTIC
of the vice. 1t is fascinating habit aud
soon compels a servitude, complete ana
almost hopeless. The gold cure people

shiny pendulum which was to swing

clock owned by the president Of such a

On the first day the pendulum stopped.
The clock was sent back to the dealer,
whose experts took it apart, oiled IL and
set it to running again. Once more it
was taken up 10 the presidents Office and
once more it ceased running. For sec

An architect who became acquainted
with the facts in the case solved the mys-

building counteracted and stopped the
swing Of the pendulum. The pendulum
couldn't work with any regularity so long
as the building was nodding around in

PLAY FOR HIGH STAKES.
Gambling Among Indians Carried to
a Wonderful Extent.

Whole Villages Are Pauperized at
Times by Reason of the Result of
Single Speculation-The Most Popu-
lar Games of Chance.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The Indian is an inveterate gambler.
There is nothing in his possession that he
will not wager on a game of chance. This
Characteristic arises from perfectly
natural cause. The Indian is a firm be-
lever in the supernatural, and conse-
quently has great faith in luck, if it may
be so termed Each Indian is the posses
sor Of an individual charm, or fetch,
that gives him ability to do things that
other Indians cannot do. This fetch is
something that belongs especially to the
IhaIviduals possessing it, and, according
10 their belief, would be of no use or ad-
vantage to any other Indian.
No person besides the possessor knows
What this fetch is, and were it TO become
known 1t would Immediately lose its
power Tor good. Having full faith in the
GeOiljy OF his charm to bring luck to him,
Ihe indian never fails 10 place all his pos.
sessions in the balance when there is a

Valy, and attributes his bad luck to the
greater power of his adversary's charm.
