No Use Trying to Live.

Under this caption, in review OF
the enemies of mankind in the form
of germs and otheI horrible things
wnicn are developing, says the New
Orleans States, in such vast numbers
aud with such startling rapiditY that
u great many people are beginning
to feel that there is very little sense
in trying to live, and about the best
they can do is to fold their hands
becomiugly and go in search OF a
heavenly harp. The mosquito. whose
soft roundlays have often been heard
ia the Silly hours of the dangerous
nights, has recently acquired the rep
rehensibe habit of injecting a cargo
OF yellow fever bacllli into the human
system. The little house ay which
centuries ago dsllied with the bald
.pates aud the crimson besks of our
lamented forefathers and was then re-
rarded as entirely harmless, now
Ands steady employment as the dis
;ribuung agent of typhoid germs
and sore eyes.
GTnls is bad enough, but there is
worse to come. a distinguished
member of the Massachusetts Medi-
cal Society declares that paper money
which has been 10 circu' alton anY
leusth of time fairly reeks with des-
perate and deadly germs; that the cur
reney issued by Uncle Sam Is the great
set medium for the spread OF fatal ln-
factions diseases that have beel dis

that every doctor will receive III

member OF tho M 'ssachusetts Medical
Society troubles our conscience
sOrelv, fer we are aware that we have
iunocently unlosded on worthy meoi-
eos not fewer than two hundred
thousand billions of the worst KIND
OF germs, but 60 far as we know the
doctors are still alive and still COL
3ecting more billions of b"gs from

that we may be the means of piaclng
some doctor in direct connection
with a vicious mlcrobe aud causing
his untimely death we deem 1t a duty

KIeptomanIa

There is manifest disposition to
translate kleDtomania into plain
stealiDg--Commercial appeal.
Plsin stealing applies to niggers
aud the white trash. A man or
woman who will appropriate a LOAF
of bread to sppease hunger is a thief
it is plain stealing, but the ''gentle-
man" who. with we'll laid schemes
has relisved some confiding friend of
his money or has distracted funds
from bank is kleptomsniac. Com
mon, poor people steal; the high
toned, the "sllck" do not. Klepto-
maniac can never be translated to
apply to the thief who is gentle
man." The slicker the thief and the
bigger his wsd, the greater is his
safety from the pen. There is little
hope and little sympathy for the man
or woman who has stolen bread to
eat when hungry.

Washington, June 29-Much interee

1924 bushels. For II months of th;s
fiscal year America has exported only

French wheat has sold during tho
past year at from s3.47 to 1886 Der 29o

fact that foreign wheat can be imporAsl

and then plainly show their cloven
feet. Like old Nick, disguised
thongh he De, his forked tail is al
ways in evidence. The Republicans
in convention at Columbus, o, under
the guidance of their master, Mark
Hanna, have adopted a platform in
which the South Is denounced for it's
restriction of the suffrage and calls
for legislation which will limit the
representation in congress from the
South to the actual population vol

Its a wopuer that the great masses

1t is possible that congress with
a Republican maj Ority, the ready and

with hate and prejudic5, may enact

Last Losing Of Avery,
an Old.Time Gambler.

Chicago, Aug. l9-'I am all in and
only a white chip for a show down."
were the last words OF Charley Avery to
a nurse when he died yesterday in the
Home for Incurables, aged seventy-one.
Avery was one of the last Of old Chicago
gamblers. In 1870 he was rated at $780,
900. Generous to all gamblers, it was
said of him later that he had $i00, 900
out in "markers" and "tabs.'
Ills father for more than fifty years
was Professor of Mathematics in Ham,
ilton College. Young Avery was stu
dent in this college in the days when
the West was booming. He reached
Chicago in 1850, and in the ensuing
twenty years was in the height OF his
prosperity.
"He was gentleman gambler" said
one OF the old guard. "During his ca
reer he must have given away nearly
$500, 600 and it is doubtful if he got much
of il back.
Zone of the noted games of those old
days was when he and Cap Lyman
played bank as rivals. Lyman lost
$4,000. Avery won $4,000, which up
to then was probably the biggest win
ming ever made at one sitting by any
one in the West"
