bread This hard rye bread is found
all over Sweden, and is eaten alike by
peasant and king. 1t is usually made
up in the form of circular disks as big
around as a wheelbarrow wheel, but
sometimes as thin as knife blade.
This bread is not baked day by day,
or once or twice week even, but at
much rarer intervals. Many families
have grand baking time only once
every three months. 1t is in this con-

city. What is more to the point, he
nearly proves it. In almost every RAID
that he has made some crooked wheel
or table has been brought away. Even
in Canfield's luxurious gambling place
next door to DelmonicO's, Jerome says
that the rich man who goes into a pri-
waite room to gamble with "the sky for
a limit" has, not the ghost of a chance.
The ordinary odds of the game ought
to be good enough-from three to five
per cent. advantage for the house, ac-
cording to the game that is played.
Because of the cost of police protection,
it was commonly said, gambling houses
not long ago began openly to use
"double o. tables, tables where the
usual odds of the house were doubled
to enable the proprietor to meet his
expenses. Even that wasn't enough,
and the employment at high salaries of
"slick dealers" and the use of ''phony
boards" made by eyD@-t.s was resorted
to.
These revelations have their effect.
Men who wouldn't dream of ''squeel
ing'' on the results Of fair game are
giving the district attorney tips. The
notice under a new commissioner can
now reach a gambling house as soon as
the lookout" 1nformers within
police circles past or present are be-
ginning to whisper in the ear of the
law. 1t has taken year to get ready
for the campaign against the nastiest
forms of vice, but it looks as if Mr..
Jerome were now ready to make things
hum.
And Garfield, Garfield whom the
superstitious believed safe from every
attack, Garfield is in England and bets
are given that he will not be seen in
New York for three years!

How" he had asked, ''can so large a
force be supplied with provisions from

that the Swedes were content to drink
water, and could, in case Of need, eat
bread made Of the bark Of trees.
Seventy thousand Swedes are to-day
living upon the same slender diet that
enabled their ancestors four centuries
ago to subsist until the invaders should
be driven from their land. They have
been forced to this condition not by
the exigencies of war, but by the crop

Only a small percentage Of the land

Sweden is prominently land of for

bread forms the staff of life in Sweden,

self will be six stories high and it will
be constructed of brick.
A track will be run into it from
the railroad, and wagon entrances will
be made to 1t. Elevators and cranes
will be installed together with other
labor-sayinR devices SO that nothing
need be touched by hand at any stage
of its handling. This will reduce the

The company is at present doing
business In South Morgantown. 1t

The capital stock Is being increas-
ed from fifty to one hundred Thousand
dollars, and 1t is being rapidly sub
scribed. Some OF the shrewdest bust
ness men In town are interested In this
company.
Work on the new building is to be
started on May first, and the concern
will be ready to move in ia the fall.
The building will be one OF the first
in town to go above the four-story
limit which has marked the heighth
OF buildings In town up to this time.

particular.
The outlook for continued increas-
