AFTER SLOT MACHINES.
Chief Badenoch Declares They Cannot
be Operated

Chicago, March ct have been fight
ing slot machines ever since came in
to Office" said Chief of Police Bade-
noch this morning in referring to a re-
port that the gambling devices are at
present being operated in saloon and CT
gar stores on the north and west sides.
MY men," he continued, have positive
orders to arrest the proprietor of every
place where a slot machine is found.
During the past year I have fined
number of officers for failure to obey
this rule.
Il have several detectives detailed to
look after slot machines. Because five
or six of the devices have been found in
operation is no reason all the good work
done by this department in driving out
the slot machine evil should be con-
demned.''
AS a result of a raid made last night
by Sergeants Nohren and Thoma of the
West Lake street station of saloons
where slot machines were kept. Adolph
Stein, John B. Kelly, Robert Stanley,
J. Calvin and George Hill, saloon keep
erS, were arrested.

CIRCUMSTANCES AND FREE
WILL.

lFrom Rev. Myron Reeds Sermon.1
Circumstances have more to do with
US than free will. I am good deal of
Calvinist, that is, fatalist. I re-
member the case of clergyman who
was convicted of stealing books. He
had in him a great deal of what all
book lovers have a little of. do not
steal books, but 1 never see a good
book in fine binding that I do not feel
a laundering for it. I look at it and
after awhile buy it or leave it.
Now, multiply my wish to possess
that book by one hundred, or perhaps
by ten, and then you have the clergy
man who did steal some 400 volumes.
He would come into the book store,
look at book, take it down, seat him
self in a convenient chair and read
awhile, put it back in it's proper place,
go out, walk around awhile, come back,
take down the book and read some
more, replace it and walk out, come in
and take the book, read it awhile and
put it in his pocket and take it home
and add it to his library. He did not
sell it or pawn it. 1t was always a
good book in a good binding. He was
on a small salary, he was a thief, and
yet you see there is a distinction in
thieves So much distinction is there
that this man was not imprisoned and
ruined, but he sent back the books and
is now preaching, and two of the four
who knew of this case live in Denver,
and the name of the extravagant lover
of books could not be dragged out of
US. A preacher who reads books is
SO rare that he is much forgiven.

DISEASED LITERATURE.

Irving Babbitt in the March Atlantic.1
Modern literature has been more or
less sentimental since Petrarch,a NOR
bidly subjective strain has existed in it
since Rousseau, while of late a quality
Is beginning to appear which we cannot
better describe than as neurotic. We
may say, to paraphraSe an utterance
of Chamforts, that the success of some
contemporary books is due to the COR
state OF the authors nerves and the
state OF the nerves of his public. Spir-
1tual dependency, which under the
name OF acedia- was accounted one of
the seven deadly sins during the Mid
die Ages, has come in these later days
to be one of the main resources Of lit
erature- Life itself has recently been
behned by one of the lights. of the
French delinQuescent school as IAN
eplept1c lit between two nothingS.' 1t
is no small resource to be able to es-
cape from these miaSmatic exhalationS
OF contemporary literature into the
braclng atmosphere of the classics. For
of him who has caught the profounder
feachlngs of Greek literature we may
say, in the words of the Imitation, that
ne is released from multitude of opin-
IONS We may apply to authors, like
SophocleS and Plato. and to those who
have penetraed their deeper meaning
the language the Buddhists use to de-
scribe their perfect sage-language
which will at once remind the scholar
OF the beginning of the second book of
Lucretius: when the learned man
has driven away vanity by earnestnesS,
he, the wise, climbing the terraced
fools, serene he looks upon the toiling
crowd, as one that stands on noun
tain looks down on them that stand
upon the plain.''
