that every years. in Swiss hotels alone
articles to the value Q, $4,000 are left
behind by forgetful visitors in a hurry.
Swiss railways derive an equally hand
some profit from the sale of objects
forgotten by travellers ard never
claimed.
Some extraordinary cases of forget
fulness are recorded this season. An
Englishmap had taken a room at a
Zermatt hotel and deposited his bag
walk he could not remember the name
nor the location of his hotel, and had
to seek the aid of the police. At a
Zurich hotel bank notes to the value
of several hundred dollars were left
behind some weeks ago. and no one
has yet come forward to claim them.
At Geneva a hotel keeper recently re-
stored jewel casket to an American
woman who was under the impression
that she had left it in a train. A Ger
man paterfamilias, with offsprings
numbering eight. accidentally left one
of his children behind at Lausanne
without noticing it's absence until he
had reached his home.

sANo4iNsTEAo, OF POWDER.

Gamblers Scared by . Trick Which
Cost Them . Good Pile.
A prominent attorney of Baltimore
told the following story to one of his
colleagues recently Of the time when he
was In the West when the gold fever
was at its height:
Zone Of the largest gambling houses
in San Francisco was In full swing
when In walked two men, one Of whom
carried a large powder horn. They
ambled up to the bar and the man with
the powder horn threw it On the coun-
ter and said in loud voice: L am
tired of 1t all and shall end it here, but
I may as well take my friends along
with me-
HE then dumped out on the counter
a quantity Of what looked to be pow
der. His companion. took from his
pocket some Of the same stuff and
threw 1t into the fire, whereupon black
smoke pulled out from the stove. BY
that time the gamblers looked around
and were Mortified to see the other one
seize the horn and throw tho contents
into the stove.
THE whole company, thinking there
would be terrible explosion, jumped
to their feet and scattered. With JOY
GUS laugh the two men ran over to the
tables and scooped In all the money in
sight-a goodly pile-jumped on their
horses and 1alloped away.
ITO say that the players were in
censed when they returned, would be
putting it mildly. 1t turned out upon
investigation that 1t was only black
sand that the two desperate men
threw on the counter"
The lawyer asked why when one of
the men threw some of the stuff in the
stove it created q volume Of smoke The
other thought he must have had some
real powder in his pocket-Baltimore

water and Ice.

Did you ever think how good for US
It IL that ice Is lighter than water. 50
that 1t floats on the surface7 Every
thih4 that we know of expands with
heat and contracts with cold. except
water. Boiling water, II allowed to
cool, will become smaller In bulk only
until It reaches certain point-S0 De
grees, Fahrenheit-and then 1t begins
to expand again until it.turns into Ice.
And as ice is lighter than water 1t
floats on the surface. Can you imagine
what would be the result IL water got
smaller by freezing, instead of larger!
Simply this, that all the lakes and
ponds would be so filled with Ice that
they would not thaw out in even the
hottest summer, for they would begin
to freeze at the bottom. and the Ice
would continue to form all the way to
the top.

The immortal Shakespeare said, "In
the great game of life, the gentlest
gamest is soonest winner" The same
saying might be applied to the polit-
zeal game, but it seems impossible to
apply 1t to that game, each party
striving to belittle the candidates Of
the opposition in which neither party
as rule can claim any exemption,
but Of all the petty, malicious charges
that ever came to the notice Of the
editor of this paper the charge that
Mr.. Cole claimed to be veteran Of
the Civil war Is the lowest, and If the
opposition party can find nothing else
against him the leaders who are work
