DOUBLING UP.

PLAYING the equal chances and doubling up said
u a young man, ''you win at roulette every

Yes' said the mathematician, if you don't double up
too many times. It doesn It many turns Of the Wheel
in series Of doublings up to transform dollar into
million,
'No7, said the young man.
No. said the mathematician. "For instance if you
threw pin into the hold Of the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse today two pins tomorrow four pins the day.
and for four months do you think the boat would hold
all that metallic cargo?''
easily said the other.
The mathematician smiled delghtedly took out note
book and pencil, and began.
'Look at these figures set them down. One day.
PIN two days. wo three days. four; four days. eight five
days, sixteen; and SO to nine days. when have

Thus, the ninth day. drop into the hold of your

'Long before the fortysxth day have swamped the

'f78,254, 900 900, o0o ooo, 900 0oo,oooooo.
'Such number Of tons has meaning to us, for the
that magnations too feeble to picture
large Yet we help imaginations We can
help them by comparing the weight Of pins with the
weight of the earth.
The earth weighs, scientists tell u.s. 1852 trllions of
tons Well if divide that weight into pins weight
find that pins would make $50 globes of metal
each equal to earth in point of weight.
This, the mathematician ended 'shoud be lesson to-
you against gambling with the doublingup method One
doubled up l20 times would make mass Of metal equal in
weight to nearly 100000 earths.'

Your Patch Of Blue.
. HEADQUARTERS.

AS sat looking out of my win
dow the other day thought OF what a
weary, dreary stretch of disagreeable
weather we had been having Of late, with
wind and rain and clouds-clouds every
where until 1t truly seemed as tho the
sun would never shine again, and as my
eyes rested upon the vast stretch Of
leaden sky the clouds suddenly lifted a
little in what appeared to be the darkest
portion and I beheld patch Of blue.
I wish could express the thrill of glad
ness that filled my heart when my eager
eyes rested upon that hopeful sign Of
brighter days to come.
A little while and all was dark and
gloomy as before as far as one could see
and yet my heart kept singing that the
sun will shine again ere long and / will
rest contented till the brighter days shall
dawn.
And so 1t is in every time Of trouble
and in every hour of gloom If you look
up and seek for it you will find ''Your
patch Of blue"
When you are sick or weary or dis
couraged from any cause and the clouds
of trouble hover over and about you as
tho they would never lift, just send a
prayer to: the Father for help and look
for your patch of blue.
1t may be the thought Of the friends you love,
OF the dear you know love you
Or the countless blessings from God above,
Enough for your patch of blue.

And the hearts disordered strings
Lose their discord in its music

Just to, think! God is so near 80 gig
That his hand our hand may find,

When our tears have made us blind.

Earth becomes the gate of heaven, .
In the shadow of his WINGS
Love Of God that faileth never,
Following all the wandering feet,
Hating sin, but seeking sinners -.
With pity strange as sweet
Follow, follow, ever. follow
Till thy patient pleading brings
All thy children to the shelter
In the shadow Of thy wings!
