AN INTERESTING BIT OF EVIDENCE.

McClure's Magazine for January
prints, with illustrations and explain
atory notes, very interesting article
on the gang that, little while ago,
had control of the city of Minneapolis.
This gang included the man who was
at the time Mayor and also the man
who was the Chief of Police 1t seems
that these officials were partners in
the gambling joints which were con-
Quoted against the law within the
city limits. They protected the gam
blers and divided the winnings with
them.
The most interesting feature of the
article is an exhibit of what is termed
the big Mftt Ledger" This is moth
ing more than, the notebook of the
gambler who was in the Mayors con-
fidence. He collected the money from
the gambling Joints and made the di-
vision. The note book shows the
amount that was paid to the Mayor,
the Chief of Police. the Chief Detec-
tive and to others. 1t also shows the
amount that was paid to the men who
were hired to steer innocent victims
into the gambling joints, where they
were certain to be fleeced of their
money.
Several of the officials were convict
ed, and are now serving terms in the
penitentiary, but the ex-Mayor is still
at large. a fugitive from justice. 1t
is expected, however, that he will be
apprehended, and then the famous
big Mitt Ledger" will be used in ev-
idence against him.
In this connection it would be in
teresting to know whether every gam
bling joint hires steerers-men who en-
tice others into the joint to gamble.
1t seems, according to this Minneapo-
lis story, gamblers steerers are well
paid. They get pretty big percen-
tage of the amounts won from the
victims

A PARKER BOOM IN TEXAS.

| Is there a Parker literary bureau in
| operation anywhere? If not. why is
! it that there is such a pronounced
movement for Judge Alton B. Parker
of New York for the Democratic NOM
ination for President in Texas? Dis
patches from points in that state say
that the Democratic newspapers there
are booming him, and that both of the
Texas senator have come out for him.
1t is worthy of notice that the news
papers of New York are not saying
anything in his behalf, and, as far as
we know, in no one of the Western
states are the Democrats taking spe-
cial interest in him as a presidential
candidate. 1t looks as if there was a
plan to bring him to the front in such
a way as to make it appear that he
is called for by the state in which
he is perhaps the least known. As a
matter of fact. he is not well known
in any state outside. of his own, and
he is not known to the people general
ly, even there. He is known to every
New York lawyer, of course, either
personally or by reputation, because
he is the chief justice of the Court of
Appeals, and is a very able lawyer.
If there is a literary bureau work.
ing in his interest the newspapers of
other states may soon begin discuss
ing him in the light of a candidate for
the nomination and calling the atten-
ton of the people to his fitness for
the presidency. OF course it might
help him in the West, and, in fact,
in the North, if it could be said that
the great state of Texas was demand
ing him. Indeed, it might help him
in other parts of the South
AS matter of fact, the South is not
welded to any candidate 1t wants
the man nominated who stands. the
best chance of winning the election.
Judge Parker has a big reputation in
New York as a jurist, but he has had
very little experience in politics. Ex-
Senator Hill wanted him to accept the
nomination for Governor at the recent
election, but he declined. If he had
been nominated it is pretty certain he
would have been elected. Mr.. Coler,
who lacks much of being as able and
as influential man as Judge Parker
is, was the nominee, and came very
near carrying the state. If Judge Par
ker had accepted and been elected the
probability is that he would be the
Democratic standard bearer in 1904,
without an effort on his part He may
occupy that position yet. The news
from Texas, to which we call atten-
ton, certainly looks as if there were
a well organized movement in his be-
half.
The starting of the movement in
Texas is significant. There is a pretty
close alliance there between Demo-
Gratis and the Populists. and Mr. Bryan
has host of friends there. If Judge
Parker should have the Texas delega-
ton among his supporters it would be
understood to mean that Mr.. Bryan's
friends have no objection to him. In
deed, the fact may be that he is being
pushed forward as a compromise can
didate-that is, a candidate acceptable
to both wings of the party. In that
way the differences between the two
wings might be adjusted without any
effort at adjustment. The Parker
movement in Texas is well worth
watching.

One of the most munificent gifts of
the Christmas season was that of Mr..
william l.. Elkins of Philadelphia to
the Masonic fraternity. He will erect
and endow, at a cost of 1000. 900, a
home for the orphaned daughters of
Masons. to be situated in Philadelphia.
The gift is said to be the largest ever
made to any fraternal organization
in the world. Details have not yet
been completed, but the work of erect

should he stop short of the parched
corn menu? Down here in the sunny
South we might even go back to the
figleaf costume during nine months of
the twelve. and thus save the cost of
a wardrobe.
There can be no set rule made by
which to govern the cost of living.
Every right thinking person wishes to
live as we'll as he can. within his in
come. Circumstances must govern in
each case. There are relatively few
men who are ruined by the extrava-
gance of their wives. The great ma
Jority of women are helpmeets and
not hindrances to their husbands, even
where the cost of living goes much
over $500 a year. Meanwhile, young
men who cannot earn more than that
had better be chary about taking the
Chicago professor seriously and mar
rying on $500 a year. With the beef
trust the oil trust and the other trusts
sending prices skyward $25 a month
does not go a great way in a city.

four years ago l left off coffee and be-

Then 1 changed my food and began
using Grape Nuts Breakfast Food in
addition to my Postum Coffee. l lived
on these two principally for about four
months. Day by day I gained in flesh
and strength until now the nervous
trouble has entirely disappeared and
feel that l owe my life and health to
Postum and Grape-Nuts.
Husband is 80 years old and he was
troubled, for a long time. with ocea-

prevailed upon him to leave off COZ

To be sure q large amount of adver-

People who complain of falling hair

pesuferous parasite burrowing up the
scalp as it digs down to the sheath in
which the hair is fed in the scalp. Be-
