smoke cigarettes, and finds it more ex-
citing to deposit his pennies in the slot
machine the cards of which will de-
termine for him whether he gets one
package for five cents, ten packages for
five cents, or none at all. He plays pool
and billiards and the loser pays for the
game. The interest in the game is in the
hazard. And so the craze develops. It
will run into matching coins, into play
ing poker, into horse racing, and, given
opportunity, into the buying and selling
of margins.

ers are ever alert for the penny-in-the-
slot machine in the cigar store. There
is a law against them on the statute
books, but the authorities are prone to
overlook it, on the superstition that
these things are harmless. The associa-
ton insists upon the enforcement Of the
law that prevents managers and OWL
ers of pool and billiard rooms from al
lowing minors to play in them. With
out such an association such law
would be dead letter. 1t stops the
news boys from Tipping pennies, from
playing "craps," and. in fact, watches
carefully every school of gambling that
attracts the young. If all of these
schools for beginners were closed the
gambling universities would soon find
themselves without class of profitable
students.

SUMMER Tyranny SHAWLS."
Airy Wrap Of Knitted Stuff That Is
Not Popular Fancy Of
81. Young Women.

While speaking of the fancies of the
summer girl, zone must not forget to
mention the granny shawl which are to
be so much worn this season. They
come inevery color and are made of al
most every material under the sun. And
they can be bought in knitted goods, in
cashmere and in the heavier shawl
stuffs. There can also be obtained, says
the Brooklyn Eagle, the granny shawl
with the thin stripe and the old-fosh-
toned shawl with the crepe stripe: :
The typical granny shawl is perfectly
square. 1t must be folded So that the
point comes down in the middle of the
back, and it is to.be thrown around the
shoulders and fastened upon the bust in
the middle of the chest. 1t can be Sc
cured with big old-fashioned cameo
pin, which is the smart fastening for it.
But there are other ways to wear the
granny shawl and one Of these is folded
long and thrown around the shoulders.
This shawl hangs down in front and
passes under the arms instead of over
them. Then there is the granny shawl
which is worn in Cuban fashion, thrown
around the head and draped around and
across the shoulders. Any woman who
was a belle 20 years ago knows how to
do it,.
And as for the shawls themselves.
What intricacies Of knitting do they
show, what variety Of pattern, what
wonders Of silk and wool, all cunningly
intermingled. There are shawls kit
ted as fine as a web and in the midst of
the webbing there are marvellous flowers
all crocheted by hand and, in many of
the shawls, there Is an applique of roses
and there are strips Of lace cunningly
set. -

Hint for Mothers.

Doctors recommend giving very young
children a certain amount of hard food
to bite on. Hard candy is better for a
child than creams and chocolates, be-
cause the former has to be chewed we'll
before it can be swallowed. This has
a double advantage. The well-masti-
Gated candy is easier digested, and tho
child has exercised important muscles
Half the children on the Atlantic coast
have adenoid growths in their throats
or suffer with some other throat
growth. This is said to be largely due
in the first. place to artificial feeding,
when they are babies, and later to too
much soft food. The proper develop
ment OF the throat depends on exercise
Of the neck and jaw muscles. IN: Z. Post.

sidered 1t menace to his individual lib
erty. Whole families. mothers, fathers,
sons and daughters rose in condenma-
ton against the shutting off of personal
privileges. When the decree went forth
that there should be no betting, no book
making at Washington Park on Derby
day, members of the Washington Park
club, men of influence and standing in
the city, moved every power they knew
OF to either evade the decree or have it
rescinded, but without effect From the
ghetto TO the boulevards the protesta-
tons against it arose. but the mayor had
formed his own ideas OF what was best
for the city, and with the law on his side
he stopped this form of gambling, or at
least came as near to that as has been
done in Chicago for many day.
Back OF the mayor in this fight have
stood the men who must employ other
men In positions Of trust; the men who
must employ other men to handle their
money. Experience had taught them
the force of the mayors argument that,

left from yesterday, and those nice
bakery rolls that came this morning. y
; said Helen Bostwick to the cook, who
had come to the sitting-room door to
see what the young leddies" wished for
! luncheon, relates Youths Companion.
'And, Molly" called Helen, as the
good-natured Irish girl was leaving the
room, ''be sure to put little onion in
the soup. It's. perfectly flat without

"sure, Miss Helen" answered Molly.
Laura Bostwick, who was visiting her
cousin Helen while their mothers were
in the south together, looked up as if
about to speak,, and then suddenly
changing her mind, closed her lips.
An hour later the girls left their fancy
work and sat down at the luncheon table.
Molly brought in the steaming soup, and
Helen began eating it with apparent
satisfaction, while Laura put her spoon
into her dish very gingerly, and took the
merest taste.
''1'm so fond of cream tomato soup,
with just a touch of onion in it," said
Helen, in few minutes. '*Why, Laura,
you have eaten scarcely any of yours.
Why didn't you tell me you didn't like
it? We could just as well have had
something else."

who never found it easy to dissemble

wanted it,"
Eyes, know you WERE" Laura was
making brave effort to force spoon
full OF it down. cts very nice, I'm
sure, but, you see, Helen, I never eat
anything favored with onion. I wish
I could cultivate taste for onions, It's
so inconvenient not to like them. But
l seem absolutely unable to eat them in
any shape or manner"
"Well, they have such a pronounced
flavor that I suppose if you do dislike
them, you must dislike them very much
indeed: I'll have Molly cook an egg
for you" -
On, no, please don't. l hate to have
| anything extra done for me. I can
make a fine meal on these good rolls
and this delicious apple sauce"
'Well, do wish that you had spoken
when was telling Molly to put in the
onion"
II was going to, and then knew from
what you said that if it was made to
suit my taste 1t would be spoiled for
you. It's a small matter, anyway:
Mother says most Of us give too much
importance to what we eat, and I'm sure
she is. right. Let's talk about some
thing else"
AS often happens when a change of
subject is DESIRED no one could think
for moment Of anything to say. Be-

that I hope you won't think forgot
your order about the onion in the
soup. I'd have put some in, like you
said, but I never noticed till the SOUP
was most done, and twas too late to
send for any and there wasn't scrap

disappeared the cousins looked at each

then burst into laughter.

MN PATTERSON TRIAL.

New York, Dec, 23.-The Nan
Patterson jury had a hard night of it.
They wrangled until nearly O'Clock
this morning when the lights were
put out and they tried to get some
sleep. There were no cots or blankets
in the jury room and the men had to
stretch out on chairs. At z O'Clock
they were taken to breakfast. At
II. 30 Deputy Sheriff Dan Kelley was
sent to the jury room to bring the
jury into court. They announced
that they had not as yet agreed and
they were sent back to the jury room.
Foreman Hammer told the court that
the possibility of reaching an agree
ment was absolutely impossible. He
says: "We have gone all over the
evidence upon every possible point and
have argued the case thoroughly.
There are some members of the jury
who are absolutely not open to convic-
voion or argument and the possibility
of reaching a verdict is very remote
indeed. Miss Patterson was on the
point of collapse several times during
her few minutes in colrt and her face
was deathly pale. 1t was remarked
about the court that the case would
probably go to trial again as the fore
mans remacrks indicated hopeless
deadlock of the jury. Later the Pat
terson jury reported Disagreement
and was discharged. The jury came
in at IL AS and reported final disa-
rgeement. Justice Davis then dis
charged them.

PECULIAR EXPLOSION.

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 23.-Mrs.
Thomas e. Barnes was killed yester-
day in her home in Pine street by the
explosion of "one FOUNDER" rapid
fire gun cartridge, which it is sup
posed she was using for hammer.
in the Christmas preparations for her
two baby girls. How the explosion
occurred Is not definitely known as she
was alone with the children but it is
said by friends Of Mrs. Barnes that
she had used the cartridge as ham
mer at other times. The cartridge
had been in the possession of the
Barnes family for some time and is
said to have been given to Mrs. Barnes
by her brother William Mayhem, a
gunner in the United States torpedo
station at Newport News.
