Seven men bought ticket in lottery
which drew $685.. They intrusted the
draft sent in payment by the company
to one of their number for collection
and he bagged the whole pile. Efforts
of the six to secure their pro rata of the
find were unavailing in the State courts
which said the whole business was lille
gal. And now the United States SUI
preme court has thrown it out. Thus
in the eyes of the law the gambler and
the man who dabbles in lotteries have
no rights which anybody is bound to
respect. Gambling of any kind is a
good thing to let alone.

Thursday night, when he will once more
be seen in 'The Last of His Race"

has been seen here this, season. When
hescame here before Mr.. Clarke was
somewhat unknown to local theatre go

him knew Of him merely as young ac-
tor who had made n profound impress
sion In the larger cities of the east in
Shakespeareans roles, His former ap-
pearances here in the romantic plays,
THE Lady Of Lyons" and THE Last of
His Race" were an Instantaneous sue

in the esteem OF patrons of the theatre
than can truthfully be said to be en-
Joyed by any other actor. Mr.. Clarke's
performance was so finished, the play so
full OF all that stirred the better feel
ings In one. and the supporting company
of such uniform excellence that It IS
small wonder that the production was
such genuine dramatic triumph. The
same company will be seen with Mr.
Clarke on the occasion Of his return en-

American women have moro than

responsibilities are n constant strain
upon the nerves and weaken and de-
range the delicate female organism.
Women who work In stores and fac
tories arc peculiarly susceptible to her

afillct a majority OF American women.
and saddcn their lives. are mostly of
nervous origin or because OF poor blood.
and may be quickly and permanently
