Danger of Speculation.

Some of the most prominent men IN
the church have been caught In this
whirlpool. Few who enter its outer
swirls realize the great danger they in
cur. So much of business life at the
present time is more or less intimately
connected with some form Of speculation
that it is often difficult to know where
the line of right divides the legitimate
from the wrong. This spirit OF desire to
make much from little, to get great re-
turns from small investments, to work
little and get large wages. this haste to
he rich infects all classes and affects
most people. The young people need
specially to be guarded. No example,
however high that person may stand III
church or business circles, is safe 10
follow unless that one follows the teach
ing of the Bible. However old fashioned
and seemingly out Of date the Scriptures
may seem, they still present the only
rules of action safe to follow. Whoever
violates them runs grave risks OF disas-
ter in financial operations and inevitably
wrecks his spiritual nature. No man
and no collection Of men have the right
to do mean thing, to do an oppressive
or unkind thing to increase their OWL
wealth.

An Ingenious Idea.

There is a certain genius in one OF
our western towns who will doubtless
never lose any of his worldly possessions
if it depends on his wit to retain them.
His entry into the town and subse-
quent method he employed to secure re-
dress from a grocer who had outrageous
" imposed upon him by selling him a
lot of sugar mixed with lime sufficiently
testify to his ability in such matters
The impurity of the sugar was hardly
perceptible at first, but when put into
use it quickly showed its inferiority.
The next day an advertisement ap-
peared in the town paper that read
somewhat as follows:
"Should the grocer who for his profits
injudiciously mixed pound OF lime
with few pounds of sugar and lately
sold it to customer not send to that
person at once the pound of sugar he
cheated him Of, his name shall be dis
closed to the newspapers. To which
advertisement he affixed his name and
address.
The morning had hardly passed before
pound Of sugar arrived, followed II
quick succession by seven more, all from
different sources, which plainly showed
distressing want Of honesty among
the grocers of the town.
It is not related whether the coffee
! tea and various other articles were ex
amined by the genius in hopes of sim
liar condition and like reward, but tn
presumption is that no time was lost II

The Uplift.

One of the most wonderful facts about
Christianity is the elevating influence
it exerts wherever it goes. In the indl-
vidual the divine love ennobles the
ideals. softens the speech, refines the
manners, purifies the actions and glori,
f,es all the life. Home becomes filled
with good cheer and love. The slovenly
become tidy, the shiftless grow thrifty
Cultivation takes the place of neglect,
and helpfulness replaces poverty and
pauperism.

Lesson For the Week Beginning June IA
Comment by Rev. w. j. Yates, A. M.
Topic. Reflections For the De-
pertinent Of Finance.

SCRIPTURE RnADINo.-Prov. xvi. 8; xviii.
e22.
Better is a little with righteousness
than great revenues without right
A just estimation of wealth is one Of
the needful things for every one to ac-
quire who will make success of life.
Many who never acquire wealth are
nevertheless utterly ruined by their de-
sire for it and effort to obtain it. Many
who obtain riches after long years of
struggle find themselves unable to enjoy
the possessions for which they have
made such exertion. Money does not
meet all needs. On the other hand, it
was long ago observed by so wise man
as Plato that the proper development of
manhood requires that one be possessed
Of some property and charged with re-
sponsibility for its administration.
The primal command to man was to
subdue the earth and have dominion.
The desire for rulership is Unborn in
most people. The regulation and direc-
tion of this appetite for possessions is a
part of the work of the Christian church.
Houses, lands, horses, mines, mills and
all other material things are of value in
the development of the individual and
community life. To make, to acquire, tC
use these is the task of the six days de.
voted to labor. For 80 of the 33 years OF
His earthly life Jesus was the carpenter
| of Nazareth.
The evil enters when one becomes alb
sorbed in the acquisition of riches
Covetousness or inordinate desire il
ruinous to all spiritual life. Things arr
of value only as scaffolding in the build
ing of character When they are prizet
as of value to keep or when ones posses
sions have accumulated more rapid.
than his power to wisely use them ha
developed, then danger is at hand
Righteousness is the great possession
men need to acquire. Love Of right
power to know and do the right do no
depend for growth ON the amount o
material wealth one can claim. TIL
poor man can be godly. The rich ma
is under obligation to use his wealt

Lucky BALDWIN TaIks About Some
old-Tine Games.
In the Golden Gays OF California
He sat An the tame for Three
Years When His winnings
Amounted 20 S3OO,O0O.

Lucky" Baldwin. one Of the most
prominent men in the history of Cali
fornia, the man who has seen and sat in
the biggest poker games ever played in
this country, talked with Chicago
Tribune correspondent on the great
American game and OF his experiences.
He said:
Poker is an art, a science. believe
It Is fast becoming lost art, SO to
speak. never hear any more of such
games as we used to have on the Pacific
coast in the early days-games which
required skill. science. nerve and big
money. No, believe those days are
gone forever.
what is poker? Why do say it is
science, an art?
poker is the science of pretending
that you have one thing when you have
another. Poker is the skill Of looking
pleased when you are displeased. II is
the science of deception. Itisthe art of
DISSEMINATION.
II can recall few 'sittings' such as
you don't hear of nowadays. Why.
was $66, 500 winner in one game. and I
started off with $4,000 loser! No such
games as that now. The times which
permit sudden acquisition of great
wealth in community are always fore
runners of big poker games. 1t was so
in California. 1t may be SO in the Klon-
dixie country.
'.Is it not SO in congress? Do not the
members of congress know how the
tariff is going; whether sugar will be
favored or not? Then the inevitable
happens. They make thousands easily
and quickly and then sit down to n
quiet game of poker to beat each other
out of their newly acquired riches.
~ often thought overlooked big
bet in not going to congress. There
has been great deal of easy money
there in those big poker games.
"But I was going to tell you OF some
of those big games - those historic
