He Had a Little scheme for Making
HIS Guests Pay for Their
Dinneru.'

1t was an apparently innocent little din.
ner invitation which drew number of
California street heavyweights to the
handsome home Of capitalist on Pacific
avenue, who is no longer popular in the
Pacific Union club. After the dinner,
which was elsborately planned, perfectly
served and thoroughly appreciated, the
host led the way to the billiard room, where
he produced for the inspection of his friends
new roulette wheel which he had just pur-
chased.
After it had been examined and duly ad.
mired monsieur proposed that his friends
tempt fortune with it, announcing that he
would be banker, and smilingly invited
them to "break him." The guests scarcely
expected this sort of diversion, but they
hardly could decline the entertainment"
which had been provided for them. Hav-
ing carelessly undertaken to call the turn
on the black or the red, they expected to
lose trihe to their host, but they did not
anticipate any such financial catastrophe
as overlook each of the players.
The bank won steadily. Soon all the
player guests were "broke," but the host
offered, in an off-hand way, TO stake one
and all, guarding against a loss Of the
frequent loans, however, by taking the
checks of his friends. For the purpose, with
admirable forethought, he had provided
himself with blank checks on every bank in
town.

were all thoroughly trapped and well
scorched before they were released The

A GIGANTIC ICE PLANT
1t Will be Erected for Soldiers in Ma
Mia at Cost of 100000.


Chicago, Jan. 24.-Col. Lee, chief
quartermaster of the department of
the lakes, has invited proposals for the
erection of large refrigerating plant
at Manila for the use of the commits
sary department of the army in the
Philippines. The plant as designed
will be one of the largest of it's kind
ever built. 1t will include number
of big ice-making machines, a freezing
apparatus and numerous cooling
rooms. The estimated cost of manu-
featuring the different parts of the
apparatus here and shipping them to
Manila, where they will be put togeth-
er piece by piece, is about 100000.
The cooling rooms will have ca
pacity of 1900 tons of beef, 300 tons
Of mutton, 100 tons of vegetables, so
tons of butter and so tons of canned
goods. Separate refrigerators will be
built for every class of supplies, so
that meat and vegetables may be kept
in good condition for months in the
tropical climate. Under this arrange
ment the soldiers will always be fur
nished with fresh meat and other food.
The plant is to be erected and ready
for use within six months after the
contract is awarded. The bids will be
opened February /.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. pINKHAM.l

A woman with the blues is very un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
1.-THE blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs Of
generation.
1t is source of wonder that in this
age Of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles arc
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of .
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. F. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, l wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for a short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
II am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than I
have had for the past ten years. 1
wish to say to all distressed, suffer
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one SO kind and willing to
aid you"
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com.
pound is a woman's remedy for wo-
mans ills. More than a million wo.
men have been benefited byit.

| "A telegram from Blackwell, Okla,
tsates that Andrew j. Blackwell died
there on THE 10Th. He was a great pro-
moter and built 100000 block at
Joplin, Mo-, with counterfeit money.
He got ten-year sentence for coun-
terfeiting, but obtained his release on
the insanity plea. He founded three
towns in the Cherokee nation, owned
hundreds of houses and 1,500 acres of
land. Blackwell at various times be-
came involved in trouble with Indians
and killed several, but was always ex-
onefated.
The transport Roumanian is to be
equipped as a transport for the dead.
Taking with her a large force of un-
dertakers and supply of cofins, the
Ronmanian will go to Santiago There
the bodies of the American soldiers
who died from fever or who fell in
battle will be disinterred and removed
to this country.
Advices from Dawson City report
the situation there as gloomy. The
number of sick is increasing and the
six hospitals i'm the town are full. The
mounted police donated for the help
of the poor $30,0O0 in cash.
