He lives within a -embowered haunt
And this little lad at times
Makes the queerest little rhymes,
Singing frowningly,
II won't, won't, WON'T
But again his eyes Of blue
Glisten as he looks at you,
And he tries your empty heart with love to oil
As he laughs in rosy g1ee,
Your surprise and Joy to see
When he merry shouts,

When the sun is IN the west,
And to bed he goes, the tired little kid.
And he holds himself awake,
The glorious rews to break,
As sleepily he sings,

Pardon me. madam; will you kindly

his muddy shoes"
The woman in gray blushed little
and nudged the boy away.
My boy?" she said. "My goodness,
he isn't mine.'
The boy squirmed uneasily. He was
such a little fellow that he could not
begin to touch his feet to the floor, SO
he stuck them out straight in front
of him like pegs to hang things on and
looked at them deprecatingly.

STREET NAMES IN MEXICO.
Queer Appcllations Bestowed on tho
Thoroughfares in Capital.

Queer Applications BestOwed on tho
Thoroughfares in Capital.
According to Modern Mexico, the
street names Of Mexico are something
really appalling to the newcomer. For
instance, there Is the Heart Of Jesus
street and the Street of the Holy
Ghost; Ave Maria street and the Ave
nue. of the Love Of God. Others are
the Street of the Saint of the True
Cross, the Arches Of Bethlehem and
the Graves of Saint Sunday street; the
Bridge Of Saint Peter and Saint Paul
and the Street Of the Crosses of Sor-
row.
Not only are the names Of the
streets unusual but they are often in
the most incongruous locations. For
instance, If you walk down Jesus
street and continue in the second block
you will be startled to find that you
are then on the Street of the New
Slaughter House. The Alley Of the
Egg and Potato street are just rs like

The Street of the Seven Princes may
no longer be inhabited by royalty, but
the Avenue Of lllustrious Men was
named for real persons. The Street of
the Lost Child derived its name from
popular tradition. but the Avenue
Of the Fifth Of May was named for a
famous battle with the French.
There are the Street of the Little
Bird. Street Of the Fish. Bull street
and Goat street and streets of the
Fleas, Rats and BOOSTERS. Then there
are the streets named for various
tradesmen, as the streets of the Hat

GAMBLING LAW TEST.
Fraternity at Spokane Already TAX.
ing SteDS.

Spokane, June 19,-The recent arrest
of Fritz DIETRICH, accused of a felony by
reason of having been engaged in rum
ming poker game in this city, has now
definitely developed into test case of
the new state law. The gamblers here
have banded together, raised consid-
cradle sum of money, and employed
Frank H. Graves, brother of State
Senator Will Graves, to carry on the
fight for them.
At the time of Deitrichs arrest it
was thought that he had opened his
game with the intention of getting into
trouble. Detective Alexander MacDon-
aid learned that a game was in progress
at the Bohemia saloon. a resort con-
Quoted by "Doc" Brown, local gam
bier and salono man. Macdonald went
to the place and arrested DIETRICH, who
stated at the time that he was running
the game for profit. DIETRICH was Ia
ken to the station, and in default of
$3.50 cash bail was held for trial. Later
he appeared before the police court and
was bound over to the superior .courtlfor
trial. A special jury term is to be
held in the criminal department in Ju-
ly, am it is expected that his case will
come up at that time.
The plan adopted for test of the
new law may be authoritatively stated
to be as follows: DIETRICH will plead
guilty to conducting game for profit.
He will be sentenced and a writ of ha-
beas corpus will be Immediately sued
out in the supreme court of Washing
ton, in an original proceeding. The
attack there will be made on the con-
stitutionality of the new act on the fol-
lowing ground:
In 1879 the Legislature of the state of
Washington passed an act making gam
bling a misdemeanor, and it is under
this act that all gambling establish
ments have been operating by the pay
ment of fines The act was still on the
statute books and in full force when
the legislature convened last winter.
The bill making gambling felony was
introduced by Mr.. Lewis, of King, and
was known as house bill AZ. Its pas
sage repealed the old law of 1879, max
ing gambling misdemeanor.
The constitution of the state pro-
vides, section 81, article 2, that no act
of the legislature shall ever be revised
or amended by mere refeence to its IT,
tie, but the section revised or amended
must be set out in full in the body of
the new bill. The new gambling bill
did not contain the old law, so amend
ed by implication, word for word, apd
accordingly the contention will be made
that the revision of the old act and pas
cage of house bill 147 were unoonstitu-
tiOnal and void

SOCIALIST GAINS
REPRESENTATION IN RElCHSTAG
INCREASED.
Fifteen Seats Gained at TUESDAYS
Election and Only Two Lost.
Total Vote Increased by Nearly
Half q Million Over the Election
in 1SO8--Women Active Workers

Berlin, June 1.-THE leading fea-
ture in the reichstag elections, which
were held yesterday, was the success of
the Socialist Democrats, who have prob
ably increased their representation in
the reichstag by fifteen seats, and their
total vote to more than 2,5O0,OO0, or
400, 900 more than in 1898. All the
parties concede the success of the So
cialists, which has been at the expense
of them all. The Socialists gained one
seat and $4,000 votes in Berlin, and
seats in Dresden, Solingen, Pirano,
Plauen, Sittau, Doebel, Alsonburg,
Dunslad, Schwartzburg, Bielfield, Bey-
ruth and Bremen. They lost seats in
Sorau and Bornburg. The Socialist
gains in Saxony caused herr Bebel to
call Saxony the cred kingdom" The
most pronounced Socialist success was
in Essen, Krupp's town, where the Sc
cialists increased their vote from 200
to 25,705. The Centrist party also in
creased ita vote from 20, 1913 to 35, 1855.
An extraordinary feature of the poll
ing at Berlin was the part taken by So.
cialist women. Hundreds went from
house to house bringing out laggard
voters, waiting at the factories and
mills and accompanying the indifferent
electors to the polls. While the other
parties had paid workers the Socialists
employed 1000 canvassers, who were
unpaid, and alone of all the parties
they voted their full strength. They
had bought up space on the municipal
advertising pillars and placarded the
doors and windows with with party leg
ends. Fifty thousand copies OF poem
entitled "Vote Red" were circulated

"What was the sermon about? What

Unless we are cOlor-blind, we all can
see the seven colors in the rainbow.
That Is ordinary eyesight; and out of
even ordinary eyesight we get Il great
deal Of pleasure. But perhaps we
all do not realize how the power Of
eyesight may be enlarged by careful
training. The tapestry workers of
France, for instance, by continued
practice, learn to distinguish different
shades of the same color in truly
marvellous way. Some Of these men
and women. by actual experiment, can
perceive 1900 different shades Of q
single color, and combine them in won
derful harmonies. Their eyes are or
binary human eyes, like those Of other
people; but they have trained their
sight until 1t becomes almost unbe-
lievably perfect. Their work Is price
less because they have raised an or
binary possession into an eXtraordi-
nary endowment.
failure-in human lives. We fail, not
because our qualities are ordinary, but
because We let them remain so. Sue
cess means ito do the ordinary thing
extraordinarily WE'LL" as some one has
put 1t. The more we train our minds.
the more valuable we become to God
and to man. Training takes time, takes
thought, takes drudgery, takes sacri-
fee; but 1t Is worth them all. because
1t enlarges our powers day by day.
Where the unframed worker can see
and weave but dozen shades, the
trained one rises from score to a
hundred, a hundred to thousand
and rises in value. too, all the while.
Extraordinary power in ordinary
things means sure and stable success.
If we are working toward this We are
working wisely. If not, we are more
likely to fall than to succeed.-For-
