Dear Uncle Ezra: do not know how
TO write you the sequel to this tragedy.
Black Hills system of beating rou-
lette game, had won the first bet, he
never guessed the right color again,
and dad had no more use for the rake.
Every time he bet and lost, he would
reach out to dad for more money, and
dad would reach into another pocket
and dig up another roll, and the coun-
tess would laugh and dad had to act
as though he enjoyed losing money.
1t was about dark when dad had
6shed up the last hundred dollars and
it was gone before dad could wink back
to the countess, then the Dakota man
looked at dad for more, and dad shook
his head and said it was all off, and
they looked at each other a minute,
and then we all three got up and went
out in the park to see the PEOPLE who
had gone broke commit suicide, but
there was not a revolver slot and dad
and the Dakota man sat down on a
seat and looked at the noon.
Dad looked at the Dakota man and
said: You started me in all right
What happened to your system?" The
Dakota man was silent for a moment
and then he pointed to me and said:
THAT imp of yours crossed his fingers
every time bet, except the first time. ,
Dad called me to him, and he said:
"Hennery, let this be lesson to you
Never to cross your fingers. You have
| ruined your dad" and he turned hi:
| pockets inside out, and hadn't change
| for a dollar note, and he gave me the
empty sack to rry,~and we went tt
our suite of rooms, knowing we would
be fired out into the cold world.
1t will take a week to get money
from the states, and we may be sen
to the work house, as we are broke
and haven't got the means even tt
commit suicide Don't tell ma.

make them richer than they ever

discussed the plan, and made a list of
things they would need to get away
with the money. They provided them
selves with canvas sacks to carry away
the gold, and dad drew all his money
out Of the bank, and that evening we
took train for Monte Carlo. All
the way here dad and his new friend
chuckled over the sensation they would
make among the gamblers, and l be-

SCIENTIFIC SPECIALS.

Incandescent gases under slight
pressure give light composed OF lines,
but under pressure continuous spec
trum.
According to recent measurements
the. magnetic energy Of the eartn
seems to be decreasing at the rate or
1.6 per cent. in 46 years. While this
would be alarming if permanent, the
measurements are so incomplete as to
indicate the decrease may be only one
phase Of the variation over q aong
period.
Considerable reduction in the cost
of fuel has been accomplished by the
introduction of water gas in glass
melting and blowing in Bohemia and
Stockholm. In one instance where
coal gas had been previously used in
an incandescent lamp factory making
from 5000 to 1000 lamps a day, the
introduction of Dellwick gas effected

things. Dad was to go in the big gam

pockets fairly dropsical with money,
and the Dakota man was to do the
betting. and dad was to hold one of the
canvas bags, and when it was full we
were to take it to our room, and quit
gambling for awhile, to give the bank
a chance to raise more money. Dad
insisted that his partner should lose
small bet once in awhile, so the bank
should not get on to the fact that we
had cinch.
After luncheon we entered the big
gambling room, in full-dress suits,
and, by gosh! it was like a kings re-
ception. There were hundreds of men
and women, dressed for party, and it
did not seem like gambling hell, ex-
cept that there were piles of gold as
big as stoves, on all the tables, and the
guests were provided With silver rakes,
with .ong handles, to rake in the
money. Dad said in a whisper to the
Dakota man: What is the use of
taking the trouble to run a gold mine,
and get all dirtied up digging dirty
nuggets, when you can get nice, clean
gold, all coined, ready to spend, by
betting right?" And then dad turned

The charities of Miss Helen Gould
mount to about 100000 annually,
and while this amount seems small in
comparison to the great sums given
away by Messrs. Rockefeller and Car,
negie, it must be borne in mind thai
Miss Gould's donations are nearly al
of a personal nature. 1t is ssaid by
authorities on the subject that Miss
Gould contributes to more individual
charities than any other person in the
world. Through her secretary more
than $500, 600 has been distributed to
thousands of beneficiaries. About 200
personal letters asking for help are

not, then it is because she has not
stayed long enough and the family
