Mr.. VOLTS Appeal.

Mr.. Simon Wolf, president OF the board
OF trustees, presided over all, and made
an address at once characteristic and
appropriate. He dwelt upon the vast
good to be accomplished by the new in
stitution; spoke feelingly of its found
ers, and closed with an earnest appeal
to charitably disposed persons to give
such aid and support to the home as
their circumstances might permit. Mr..
Wolf made it plain that the home is
already established; that IL is upon a
firm foundation, which will Withstand
the storm of years; and added:

scription or membership"
This appeal for support Of the new
home was made by Mr.. Wolf toward the
close Of a remarkable speech. To the
asscmblage he had extolled the necessi-
~ of the institution; the charity OF its
founders and in so doing. he had p:o-
claimed the principle of common hu-

Afahan Ferries.

The Afghan ferryman at some
ferries on the river Oxus makes use
Of ponies to get his clumsy boat
across the stream. Zone or some
times two of these rather INSULT
cient looking animals are attached
to the boat by bellybands or sur
cingles, which allow them to swim
alongside, with the strain of the
haul on their middles. They are to
certain extent supported in the
water by the ropes which attach
them to the boat, but only their
heads are usually visible as they
strike out with measured pace,
snorting with each stroke, being d.
rected from the boat as to which
way they should go. So powerful
Is their stroke that two small thir-
teen hand ponies will easily pull a
boat which might carry ten tons
of dead weight. One almost looked

they struggled into the shadows Of

GATES ON GAMBLING.
Barring Spectator Would License IL
if He Had His Way.


John ". Gates is nothing if not
unique, says a special dispatch from
Saratoga to the Philadelphia Press.
He is unique in his business, unique ID
his pleasures and unique in his philos-
ophy. His idea on the raising OF
boys is one of his particularly unique
hobbies. He thinks they should see
things and know things. Says he:
''I'ye got boy, and play golf with
him and tennis and pingpong, and
when he wants to play poker l play
poker with him and get stung up good
wants to go somewhere and try his
luck at some other game Of chance, I
go with him If he wants me to.
want my boy to feel that his daddy Is
not only his best friend, but his chum.
believe that's the right way to bring
UP boy
Then, turning to the characteristic
which has gained him large part Of
his notoriety, Mr.. Gates said very
frankly:
'"They talk about suppressing or do
ing away with gambling. They might
as well try to do away with the wind.
Men have always gambled and always
will, and If had my way I'd license
gambling as saloons are licensed. I'd
do this because think it's right
Marshall Field once told me that
he always tried to be right 81 per cent
of the time. There's d lot in that.
The fellow who makes up his mind to
be right all the time will be busted al
ways In the long run by the man who
insists on being right 81 per cent Of the
time"
These remarks were made before he
left Saratoga the other night during
the course Of a conversation about the
training school for young men which
he and Samuel W. Allerton and Henry
e. Weaver Of Chicago plan to build
near that city. It will be known as
the st. Charles Home and School and
cover 1000 acres within thirty-f five
miles of Chicago. A technical, classic
al and commercial education will be
provided, and those who wish may
study professional farming.

uoers Like Sumafra.

After his visit to Antwerp and pos
sibly short stay in London Mr.. Reitz,
1t is understood, will not return to
South Africa, but intends going out
to Sumatra to settle down, says the
London Chronicle. OF late years Su.
matra has been making rapid strides
ahead, owing to the great success Of
the tobacco growing industry along
the coast opposite Penang, and Deli
and Langkat have grown into impor-
tant places. They are not far as the
crow flies from the disturbed district
OF Acheen, where one Of the longest
wars in history is still going on, The
Dutch government having started the
suppression of the Acheenese revolt
over thirty years ago. DR.. Leyds is
also said to have some idea of going
TO the Dutch east. He is a native Of
Java and has many relatives and
friends in and about Batavia.

Tale.

Tale is employed in the arts in
two distinct forms AS powdered or
ssfour tale" and as sawed pieces of
various sizes and shapes. The -four
tale is used in the manufacture of
wall papers to give them glossy
appearance. Some of the ordinary
flour tatc is used as filler in the
manufacture of paper, but the
ground fbrous tale is utilized most
extensively for this purpose. The
fbrous and pliable character of the
mineral makes it valuable for this
purpose and causes the tale to be
retained in the paper pulp, thus CIV
ing additional strength and weight.

They say it's just gone out Of style;
Of course it had to wait

They get no other way.
An then they say how much it hurts
Themselves to spank us SO;
guess it only hurts their hands,
They spank SO hard you know.
Now spankin' has gone out Of style,
