Checking the Lottery Evil.

The secret service officials believe
that the sale of lottery tickets in this
country has been effectually broken
UP by number of arrests and con-
f1scation of tickets at different points.
The headquarters of the lottery COM
bine was in San Francisco, but they
had travelling men on the road estab.
fishing agencies. Nearly all the men
prominently identified with the con-
Germ have been arrested, and arrests
have been made in half a dozen diff
ferent different cities of the country
OF people who received shipments of
tickets. Secre. service agents have
done most of tho work, but where
there were ITO agents the arrests have
been made by United States marshals.
The prosecution of the lottery people
was started by the district attorney
OF San Francisco, and he has been
helped by the department of justice,
Assistant Attorney General Purdy be-
ing in charge. There is little doubt,
says the Washington Star, that the
business will be broken up. The law
prevents the shipment of lottery tick
cts by any form of conveyance in
this country, and the person who re-
ceives such a ticket is as liable as the
person who shipped it,

The Fresh-Air Cause.

There seems to be an increased zest
with the beginning of each recurring
summer season, actuating the varied
Efforts for the promotion of outdoor
life. The fresh-air fund, gathered from
many benevolent sources, accom-
plishes in the aggregate a good that
Is beyond computation. II it accom-
piishes nothing more than to bring a
brief pleasant change of scene into
lives that greatly need some varia-
ton, truly says the Baltimore Ameri-
can, the effort that is made would be
amply justified. To the children of
the crowded districts, shut in by the
narrow boundaries of streets and al
leys, day on the water or in the
woods is one of joyous expansion
mentally, morally and physically. And
to overworked mothers such a day
brings not simply rest, but refresh
ment and restoration. There is no
tonic like happiness, and the bracing
effect of happy day, away from the
routine cares, with a wide vista of
blue sky above and of blue waters of
green grass below, is more potent by
far than any mixture that comes from
the apothecary. 1t is not alone tine
clean air, though a whole day of
breathing unpolluted ozone is of tre-
mendous vitalizing value For the
older people, the letup in the nervous
strain, the sense of freedom even for
a little while, brings reuperative aid
to the vital energies, and to the young
er ones gladness alone is life-giving

Three clergymen, of whom one was
Rev. Thomas Fancher, halted one day
on a Texas prairie to cook and eat
their dinner. They had been to pres

and were on their homeward journey.
After they had broken their fast on
buffalo meat and bread and coffee they
sat listening to the calls of the quails
and watching the prairie dogs sitting
solemnly at the edges of their holes
and following gaunt coyote with their
eyes as he Hoped with sneaking pace
toward the horizon. While watching
him one of them caught sight of an
other object, just visible in the dis
lance.
A Prairie "Jinny."
What in the world is that?'' he ask
ed his companions, pointing toward it.
They looked long and earnestly and
guessed often, but could not agree
In the meantime the strange object
was rapidly approaching and slowly
resolving its mysteries to their COM
prehension.

"A jimmy and man." said Andrews.
If P. 7. Barnum had had this outfit
made to order for his circus it coult;
not have been more absurd. The jimmy
was exceedingly small and hairy and
it's ears were of an almost incredible
size. Her rider was short almost to
dwarfishness, thickset, bow-legged,
snomelike and was almost extinguish-
ed by fuzzy white stovepipe hat
With every jolt of the feet of the di-
minutive steed the stubby arms of its
rider rose and fell against his sides
with regular, machinelike motion.
AS they reached the camp fire the
jimmy paused as suddenly as if she
had run against a wall of stone,
dropped her head, closed her eyes and
fell asleep-her tail, however, automat-
ically switching flies.
Her rider threw his right foot over
her ears, dropped to the ground,
squatted like a Turk, laid his hat be-
side him, spat into the fire and gave
utterance to this brief, but friendly,
salutation: 'tHowdy?"
"Howdy," said the campers in a
