Was Poorly Patronized

The colored citizens who gave the
entertainment and dance at the Assem-
bly, Rooms last night for the benefit
of the city fire department., feel very
much discouraged. The attendance
was poor and the patronage nothing
to speak of. The committee in charge
of arrangements scarcely came out
even. The colored people, feeling
grateful to the volunteer fire depart
ment, which officers their property pro-
lection, set about to raise funds for
the department treasury and neces-
sary expenses. The entertainment was
proposed and under the management
Of the chairman of the committee,
William Brown, those interested set
hard to work to make it a success.
To say they failed in their efforts is
TO put it mildly. When they approach
ed the white citizens to buy ticket
they refused. and the colored people
had no pay day until today or tomorr.

more or less, at their well meant

To Comply With Law

Over two hundred statements from
building and loan and similar institu-
tions have been received at the office
of the State Tax Commissioner in the
past two DAYS The object of the
statement being required is to ascer-
tain whether or not the associations
are owning property of any kind
which is the subject of taxation, and
Yesterday was the last one under the
law when the report could be made.
1t is known that several associations
have failed to make the report, an
under the law the responsible officer
is subject to a fine of $500, with and
additional amount of $50 as counsel
fee. 1t was stated at the Tax Com
missioner's Office that the law would
be enforced. Under the law there is
an exemption from taxation on mort
cages ON lands within the state. Some
of the associations, however, hold
mortgages on property outside of the
state. These are the subject of taxa
ton, as are chattel mortgages.

a Woman,s Advice.

New Yorker: A woman who has. had
q very unhappy married life gives this
advice to young women:
Don't marry a man to reform him.
1t can't be done unless he is under %.
The woman who permits her heart to
rule her head makes a sad mistake.
If a girl loves G man, no matter how
dissipated or selfish he may be, she
plunges n matrinony With her eyes
closed.
No woman should ever depend entire
ly on her husband for happiness. It is
folly and Lead always to heartache. A
married woman should have a life
apart from her husband.
Let her keep sweet Il true and low
able, but beyond a certain point she
should not venture, lest she lose her
individuality in her husbands, with the
result that he will impose upon her.
Beware of a Ia with an ~ungovern-
able temper; and almost all men are
endowed with this quality.
Shun the MAJ who drinks to excess,
for it is q habit that leads to wretched-
ness.
Avoid also the man who is selfish,
the mar who considers always his own
interests before those of his wife.
All men are tickle, and it depends on
the Wife's power to hold them.

Many women long for a child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's

A woman who is in good nhvsica,

louisville Courier-Journal: 1t is not
merely iii III United States that poli-
tics make strange bedfellows and neces-
states curious decisions. Even In the
duchy OF O,denburg it, has become
necessary to decide that poker is not
"a game Of chance. This decision was
requisite to convict certain editors of
Elibels.8&They had said that thesnlinister
of Justice. Mr.. Ruhstratt, was a gam
bier. o participated in games Of
chance. Mr.. Ruhstratt stated thai he
had eschewed roulette, but admitted
that he played poker. So he swore,
in effect. that poker is not a. game of
chance. The editors We're convicted of
libel. but are not vet satisfied that
poker is purely a game of skill.

ground that draw poker is 1ot a game

Judge thought that the court, whatever
might have been the experience of the
Judge as an individual, could not iudic-
tally show that poker is a game OF skill
and not of chance. Accordingly he de-
cided that this was a question Of fact
and not question Of law, and he let
it go to the jury. The jury was made
up of six skillful poker players and six
whose knowledge of the game was rudi-
mentary. When the jury took up the
question Of the nature of the game they
divided themselves into two sections,
the experienced poker players on one
side and the inexperienced on the 9TH
