I'VE are surrounded by host of

every consideration of public utility.
Our industry, though legal one, is
constantly exposed to innumerable
dangers. and it behooves us to com.
bine closely for the protection OF our
mutual interests"

The regular summer solstice disturb

June thunder showers probable al
most any afternoon and evening.
From about the Sth to 18th each
year, the earth passes point in Its
orbit at which abnormal electrical
changes are infused into our globe,
and atmosphere. Seismic and volcan-
ic disturbances reach maximum In
the globe generally, and a general
electrical condition Is absorbed that
expresses itself In an excess of sum

June evenings and nights, almost to
the end of the month. The greater
part OF this solstice lightning, flash
ing and playing through the heavens,
often throughout the June nights. Is
wholly harmless, and should excite
no nervous fear even In the most tim
id person. OF course the lightning
bolts that fly from compact and rush
ing thunder storms are different, and
every precaution against danger
should be taken at such moments. Un-
der no circumstances should one ever
take refuge under green tree In one
of these vicious June thunder storms.

mating stages about Wednesday,

LONDON, June 10-Truth this
week gives what II claims to be fur
her insight into the bridge evil.
What should you think of lady"

Journal, whose prowess in winning
had made all her encourage afraid to
play against her, and who falls back
on girls to play with? These poor
things have to go on with the game or
he guilty of rudeness to their hos

BILE state of mind when they find them
selves deeply in debt and expected to
pay up at once.
"lt used to be men only who feeced
the tender lambs of society, and In
those days lambs were of the tougher
sex, but now nothing is sacred to the
bridge player"
Nor is this ALL Mr.. Labouchere's
correspondent goes on to relate what
purports to be a veracious history as
follows: "A man who had proposed
TO a girl and whom she had refused,
received letter from her last week

her mind and would marry him If he
would send her check at once for
E300 $1,000 to pay her losses at
bridge. and that he must on no ac-
count let her father know about it.
The man had meanwhile become en-
gagged to another girl. but he sent a
check with a note saying that he was
pleased to be of use to her.
In a pregnant postscript he wrote:

individual disposed to joke with Miss

TT has occurred to me. Miss An

soundness of the views touching the
question OF woman's rights held by
yourself and colleagues arises as
much as anything from the lack of a

Leaving aside the doctrine of wom-
ans right to suffrage" replied Miss
Anthony. II agree with you that, to a
certain degree, woman has little sense
of humor."

RUSSIAN BOY WORKS
A UNIQUE sWlNoLE

ODESSA, June ia lad OF 10,
named Terkal, who lives here, has
Just ended a tour OF Europe made un-
der extraordinary circumstances. His
greatest ambition had been to visit
foreign countries. but he had no mon
ey. 1t occurred to him to take a large
box with a double bottom. After six
months work he contriyed one that
could be opened and shut by secret
springs.
When the box was done he found a
travelling companion who was willing
for small sum to take charge of the
box and forward it to destinations as
directed. Terkal packed himself In
the box and at convenient place on
the way left it. He then marched
TO the railway office, proved that his
box was ninety-three pounds lighter
than it was when shipped, and de-
manded damages. This scheme was
worked from place to place, the rail-
road and steamboat companies in
most cases being only too glad TO set
lie quietly.
Terkal left Odessa with 19 kopeks
(about - cents) and returned with
1000 rubles (about $1,000. Just as
he was about to leave his box for the
last time the railway police observed
his movements and Terkal was ar
rested.

everyone at some time investigates
what is known as American spiritual
