daylight a well-dressed man walked
out Of the Casino, sat down on the
steps and, with a revolver, blew his
brains out Such incidents were APP
parenly too common to attract extraOr-
binary attention, and the authorities
Of tine place are always prepared for
them. Almost before the smoke Of the
revolver had cleared away n lot Of at
tendants rushed cut, and, after cover

kept on hand for the purpose, removed

washed away and in less than five min

the authorities buried the body at their
own expense and that nothing further

Very few of these Monte Carlo sui
cides are ever identified. AS a rule
they are either broken-down gamblers
/ or men who have gone there with the
/ intention Of recouping by a single
stroke or losing all and dying. Silence

to relatives a sum from the secret ser
vice money. which is set aside every
year from the vast revenue Of the so

bring the hand of justice on this estab-
llshment, which ruins thousands Of
men and women.
Il met a few Americans there, but
they were either sightseers or a very
cheap class Of gamblers and bunko
men. You don't find your thorough
bred American gambler wasting his
time at Monte Carlo. Ii is the hunting
ground for the low-down bunko man,
and he can make more by telling Amer

and become intensely sensitive, says
the St Louis Post-Dispatch. The
twisting Of the foot from its proper
position brings the pressure Of the
shoe upon the toes, causing corns and
bunions to appear.
These evils accrue to the ordinary
foot. The fat man or woman who re-
sorts TO low shoes will suffer more seri-
Gus results. The increased weight
thrown upon the ankles aggravates the
ordinary evils, and in addition the flesh
of the foot is pushed up over the shoe.
The ankles not having their proper
support. the knees, legs and back suf-

by aches and general lassitude. which

The election Of Judge Rassieur to the
head Of the Grand Army was practi-
caily conceded a year ago. when the St

Philip Drunk and Philip sober.

The saying originated from an Incl
dent in the life of Philip H., king Of
Macedon. the father of Alexander the
Great. Philip was undoubtedly great
man; but all men, great and small.
have their weaknesses. and ne was a
great drunkard. One day. when rising
flushed from his wine, he was called
upon to decide a lawsuit, and in his
bibulous condition he decided it IN
justly, wherenpon the losing party
cried; 81 shall appeal against your
judgment" Appeal" Numbered
the enraged king; land to whom will
you appeal:' ITO Philip sober" was
her reply. The wisdom of the appeal
was justified by the result, for when
Philip had become sober he discovered
his mistake and reversed his Judgment.

at meals it should take the place OF

the children eat meat to give them
