ago.
This would make the Lansing skull
the Oldest relic of prehistoric man on the
American continent. antedating by some
few thousands Of years all the other re-
mains Of human existence on this side of
the Atlantic, and belonging to the same
geological period as the Oldest relics of
Europe.
Although the skull was discovered some
months ago, 1t was not until quite re-
Gently that it was fully and scientifically
described. 1t was dug from a hillside of
the Concannon farm, about three miles
from Lansing Kas. and within a very
few feet of the channel of the Missouri
river. Two men were making an eKcava-
ton for a cave in which to store apples.
when they came across the fragments Of
the skull, loosely imbedded in the soil and
partly disintegrated.

The gas, which so nearly proved fatal TO
the three, is supposed TO have entered the

cramps and vomiting, and the mother sum-

the children he suspected, from the symp-

them for that trouble. MR.. Pozzoni was
later affected like the children. and she

Mr.. Houseman is manager Of the st.

Mr.. Houseman now has a petiron pending
before the City Council for an elevated road

scheme to further rapid transit for his

ton five others have been presented asking

II the franchise is finally granted ~restric-

But immediate action is Imperative. so that
arrangements could be made within the
next thirty days II II is desired to build

Till Success Comes.
SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York. Dec. 29.-Dan Stuart. tht
| owner of the Southern club in Hot Springs
Ark. the Monte Carlo OF America. was on5
of the Interested readers Of the Earl OF
RossIyn's serial articles on his system fol
winning at roulette. published in to-day's
Republic. and. when he had finished read
ing il. he threw out a challenge.
Mr.. Stuart seems to think the Earl's sys-
TEN is practicable. but he doubts If any
man has the nerve TO follow it in the face
Of repeated losing bets.
His proposition. as he expressed it, was
as follows:
The Earl of Rosslyn may be Il man of
marvellous nerve. and may make his sys-
TEN win. but. airy time he cares to demon
strate the infaI.ibility OF his play. tie
Southern Club will accommodate the Earl
and his friends. We will agree 10 deal amy
limit the Earl may designate.
The limit. as far as we are concerned. viii
be as big. if not bigger. than he got at
Monte Carlo"
Mr.. Stuart's nerve has never been ques-
toned. 1t vas not many months ago ltat
several New York and Chicago %rlungers on
faro asked him to set his highest limit for
them. lie looked significantly at the ceiling.
said. Go as far as you like" and the club
won $4,000 with Stuart himself pulling the
cards from the box.
NERVE" Is THE THING.
In continuing his comments. the Southern
sporting mar said:
The Earl of Rosslyn's system IS nothing
more or less than progressive with ur-
limited capital and a big limit the Earl
should win more bets than he loses. If all
roulstte players confined themselves strictly
to ROsslyn's system there would be very
few persons who would care to back the
game. But it is not always the style nf
play one employs in games of chance that
leads TO success.
Nerve is the chief element in victory in
any gambling proposition. y mans system
of play may be all right. but the player has
NOS always got the backbone to play /.
This is particularly true when luck Is
against the system. Usually a mans nerve
deserts HIM when luck is against him, and
he fUrEets all about his system.
ITO play tn Rosslyn system strictly or
the lines indicated in the English noble
mans article would require the nerve of
a cold ch!s"l. 1t is almost impossible for a
man To COnflnc himself to any one style of
play when he begins to lose big money.
Take the case Of Peter PettihGne, who
Won hundreds of thousands Of dollars play
ing progression against the faro banks n
and about New York years ago. He died
a poor man. He could not COu:iue himself
10 his system when the cards went against
him"
