CARDS FORM The
GAMBLING HABIT
Rev. DR.. John D. c. Hanna
Condemns SeVeFeIyEven the
Quiet Little Home Game
LEADS TO MANY VICES

In a sermon to the congregation Of the
Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church, |
Philadelphia. the Rev DIR. John ID. c. !
Hanna. formerly Of this city, condemned
card playing, from the supposedly inno-
cent card gamo of the quiet nome TO the
game for big stakes. He declared card
playing IN any form as bad, and said that
the non-gambiing game was but fore
runner Of the game with stake arousing
the gambling instinct
There is no habit that so hnrdens the
nature as gambling" he said. 1t closes
the eyes to everything that is beautiful
in life and fills It with a frantic passion
for gain. This passion rises above all
other human feelings. above legitimate
ambition. above affection for kind and
friends. above patriotism. and it breeds
in the mind Of the gambler a strong dis
trust Of his fellow-man, making every
gambler a cynic.
Gambling Is common to-day. Every
where it is present-in society, among the
wealthy and among the poor, in our own
country and everywhere else. and even
right in the Church. in the shape Of
Many newspapers have recently been de-
batting on the old question. Does the Bible
forbid gambling? Some say gambling
surely was known in those days, and
that, If It was wrong, some prohibition
Of it must have appeared in the Bible. In
SO many specihce words the Bible may
not forbid gambling but an observation
Of its effects shows that il leads us into
vices and passions that are directly In OPP
position to the spirit Of the Book Of God.
These vices are many. but there are four
that are the most deadly. In the first
place, gambling invariably destroys the
principles Of honesty and honor.

The greatest gambling place in the world

other thing than its gambling. and that
is its suicides.

How They Proposed

The Ladies' Club was talking the
matter over a few evening ago. says
the ST. Louis "Post-Dispatch," and one
lady thus gave her experiences:
"A man whom I'll call George select
ID a particularly cold evening last
February. and made his little speech
on my front steps. My teeth were
chattering, my nose was red. I had a
cold in my head. and it was getting
worse every minute. My refusal Of
George was kind, but prompt"
MY experience was worse than
that" said another member. THE
youth proposed to me at supper, and
his remarks were varied by bites Of
bread and butter and by delicate at
tention in the way of urging food upon
me- I actually became so confused be-
fore he got through that 1 didn't know
whether ne was offering me himself or
the cold chicken"
'The most interesting proposal of my
experience" remarked a third. twas
that of an absent-minded young man
who used notes I was giving little
reception, and. of course. my time was
much occupied. The youngmanrealized
that this would be the case, and to
facilitate matters he brought with him
memorandum. I afterward found it
on the floor, where he had dropped ii
in his agitation. Here are some of the
notes:
Mention rise in salary.
=" Mention lonliness.
Mention pleasure in her society.

Saving the Babies

Rochester. n. Y, has a health officer
who is making good. He is an en-
thusiast on the question Of the sanitary
care and feeding of infants, and as
result has reduced by about two-thirds
the mortality of babies IN that city.
Rochester mothers are thus advised by
their board of health upon the care Of
a baby:
Don't feed bananas, candy popcorn,
sugar or anything else but milk, unless
told to do so by your physician.
Give it pure air day and night.
Give it no food but mothers milk
milk from the bottle or food directed
by the physician.
Whenever 1t cues or is fretful do not
offer it food; give it water
BE sure that It gets enough sleep
two maps during the day at least.
Do not put too much clothing on IT,.
Battle It in tub every day.
Don't handle it; leave it alone.
AS the New York World says. a
thousand babies saved in nine years
in an increasing population is a record
of,which Rochester may well be proud.

Who'll Show Missouri

A st. Joe woman had a husband who
was good to her, but there was another
man she knew who wrote poetry. Her
husband found this poem the poet
wrote his wife and promptly killed the
woman and himself; the poet, however,
escaped:

score;
Then to that twenty add a hundred
more;
A thousand to that hundred, so kiss on,
To make that thousand up a million;
Treble that million. and when that is
done,
Let's kiss afresh as when we first
begun.

The Word "FemaIe"
As a Noun

The average woman objects to being
referred TO as a female" despite the
excellent standing for this word in the
works Of Scott and other writer's Of
authority. Professor Lounsbury. Of
Yale, says, in Harper's Magazine" that
this much-abused substantive has a
pedigree reaching back TO the four
teenth century. 1t was used in the
Wyclffite translation Of the Bible;
though i'm Shakespeare it occurs, as a
noun. but eleven times as against four
hundred times for the more dignifed
word woman" The feminine objec-
tion to the word is probably based on
its lack of distinctiveness. Professor
Lounsbury discusses other words Of
questionable popularity.

will be held this afternoon at 5

diverting the line from Railroad ave

thence on out that street to the uni

said that the majority of the promo

probability if the line is built this
plan will be followed out.

women suffragists, representing or
ganizations from all parts of the
country, interviewed Premier Camp
bell Bannerman at the foreign office
today, and presented their claims that
women be allowed to vote.
Only eight members of the numer-
Gus deputations were allowed to speak
and each was limited to five minutes,
but in the aggregate of forty minutes
the premier heard about all there was
to say in favor of female suffrage. The
speakers demanded immediate suff-
rage. The premier replied and asked
the visitors to be patient until the
government should become more unit
ed on the subject. He said that the
cause had made immense strides in
the last few years. He concluded by
saying that he believed it will not be
many years before the desired change
shall be brounght about. The refer
ence to years" was met by Kisses,
and the deputation left evidently in
great dissatisfaction.

American Revolution is celebrating
today the two hundredth anniversary
of the birthday of the Revolutionary
hero after whom the chapter Is
named. This was the second obsery-

citizens of Northampton. The first
celebration was in the form of a pre-
sentation TO the high school, with
Appropriate ceremonies, of a portrait Of
Governor Caleb Strong whose birth
day anniversary came soon after the
organization of the chapter. General
Seth PomerOy was the first Of an emil

and were, in part, contemporaries
Caleb Strong was the third, and his
marriage TO Sarah Hooker, daughter
of the Northampton minister, took
place the year General Pomeroy died.
That was in 1777, when, Caleb Strong

VERY BAD ACCOUNT COMES
FROM MARQUETTE SECTION

Marquette, Mich, May 19.-Forest
fires in this district have done many
thousands of dollars worth of dam
age, and last night they were still
burning fiercely. Some farmers in
Choctay township have been t.lrned
out, losing everything, and to the
north of the city numerous villages
have been destroyed by fire. Many
miles of timber lands have been swept
bare.
A stretch of territory over $50 miles
in length, reaching from Newberry on
the east to Bessemer on the west, and
north and south between the shore
line of Lake Superior and the south
ern boundary of the upper peninsula,
is dotted with forest fires.
II is impossible to estimate the fl
nancial loss, but figuring on the basis
of local conditions probably 100000
worth of property has been destroyed.
The town of Quinnesec and several
hamlets in the Menominee iron range
are reported wiped out. Northwest
of Marquette the town of Birch, where
the Northern Lumber company has
fully 100000 worth of property, is
threatened with destruction. Unless
rain falls and that at once, much moro
havoc will be wrought, as the woods
are very dry.
