WAS SETTING THEM RIGHT
Chicago Women In London Had
I Their Doubts About Direo-
! tons Given Them.

Americans In London are apt TO be
confused by the fact that the same
thoroughfare bears many different
names as 1t pursues its oftentimes
crooked course through the fascinating
old city.
Two young Chicago women, wander
ing through what they affectionately
called Dickens London" last summer,
went into bun shop to ask the neareE
way to one of the less frequented spoe
that the great writer has made, sacredo
all lovers of his stories, says a writer
in Lippincott's.
A good-natured clerk gave them NIL
mute directions, to which they listened
attentively and with strong efforts to be
intelligent when he spoke of the top"
or the bottom" of certain streets, told
them to 60 straight away" and that
the place was only ten minutes on"
Thank you so much" said the
younger girl, "but I'm afraid that we
may lose our way after all. Your
streets here have such a perplexing
habit Of changing their names every
few minutes that we are never really
sure just where we are"
why, madam" demonstrated the
clerk in tone Of mingled reproof and
pity, these streets don't change their
names. They have had the same names
for hundreds of years."

Anlt-Gamblinp Statute.

Washington, Nov. 13.-The Ohio an
ti-gambling statute was upheld in an
opinion handed down in the supreme
court of the United States today by
Justice Peckham, in the case of William
Marvin VS.. Belle o. Trout. The case
involved che constitutionality of Section
4279 of the revised statutes of Ohio au-
thorizing any person who loses money
at gambling to bring suit for its recov-
ering. Mrs. Trout is the wife of Frank
H. Trout and Marvin the owner of the
building in Findlay, O., in which Frank
H. Trout is alleged to have lost 5000
on one occasion and 81, 794 on another.
Mrs. Trout sued under the State law
to recover and was given judgment was
sustained by the State supreme court
and today's opinion confirmed the decis-
ion of both of those courts.
In his opinion Justice Peckham said;
'The power of the State to enact laws
to suppress gambling cannot be doubt
ed, and as a means to that end, we have
no doubt of its power to provide that
the owner of building in which gam
bling is conducted who knowingly looks
on and permits such gambling, can be
made liable in his property which is
thus used, to pay a judgment against
those who won the money as is provided
in the statute in question.

FEVER BROUGHT POSTCARDS
xsuze Woman Frustrated by Ty-

collection OF souvenir postal cards.
Since her illness began, and she was
taken to q hospital, her family and
friends have entertained and cheerse
her up by mail, whenever visiting was
not considered judicious. She Is not
strong enough to read letters, but she
delights In looking at pictures. and
her friends literally ransack the shopa
looking for novel and pretty picture
postcards.
The result Is, states the New York
Press, that she has full set OF New
York views, including street scenes
the parks, the principal churches,
monuments, the water front and near.
by beaches. All friends or acquaint-
ances going away are requested to
send her something, so her collection
includes mountain scenery, lakes, sea-
shore views and places Of interest in
other towns. The seeker for these
postcards will find all sorts OF views
as we'll, from the Scottish crags and
lakes, to the Alps, from Margate and
Brighton to Trouville, Paris, London
Japan, Rome and Naples. Then there
are the illustrated songs and the
English jokes, the new Yiddish cards
and great variety of beautiful cards
with floral designs.
Many of the best and most popular Z
works of art are now reproduced on
postal cards in all the original colors.
In fact, there is hardly anything that
can't be found on postal card these
days, and the sale is steadily increas-
ing. For the sick nothing could be
more appropriate, for they interest at
q glance, they please the eye without
taxing the intellect, and they heguils
many q moment for the invalid.
