A Modern Arcadia.
Weekly.

Harper's Weekly.
a traveller who recently visited the
coast Of Labrador says that nowhere
on earth are life and property held
so sacred as in that little-known and
barren land. A thousand miles Of
lonely seaboard, along which is scat
tered a population of some 10000
people, about one-third of whom arc
white, would seem to give every op-
portunity for crime, yet there is no
police officer Of any kind, no court
and no Jail. Nor are they needed.
The only criminal charge within fif-
ty years was one against an Eskimo
who shot rival in love.
Tn addition to the resident popula~
ton the coast is visited every sum-
mer by about 10000 Newfoundland
fishermen, and while Newfoundland
itself is not by any means free from
criminals, none appear ITO come
among the fishers, or else the exam
pie Of the natives of Labrador causes
them to refrain from any wrong-do-
ing while there. About forty years
ago circuit court visited the coast
eEc:y summer, but as it found moth
ing to do, it was abolished. Now
should any serious charge be made
against n man a magistrate would be
sent from Newfoundland to investi-
gate it.

The Abuse of 'Humor'
Spartanburg Journal.

HIaIluIlDlllS oOuIHul.
Having been put upon the defcn-
sive by some casual remarks upon
American humor, Jerome X. Jerome
returns to the attack in current Cos
mopolitan. Says the British humor-
list:
Even assuming that humor is the
salt of life, we don It want to eat salt
with as ,poon. But here in America
everything seems to be sacrificed to
humor. Your politics have to be made
humorous. Your courts of justice
have to amuse. Before a great time
has gone you will be having funny
sermons. We shall hear that the Rev.
Mr.. So-and-so's Sunday mornings
sermon was real screamer-that it
was received with roars of laughter.
Then church service will be consid-
cred a bit too slow and will have to
be rewritten by some bright young
humorist from a newspaper Office.
Your very murder cases will have to
be made "bright.' It is a foregone
conclusion that domestic tragedies
shall be side splitting. l am really
not sure that in time America will
not get into comical funeral service,
with low comedy undertaken. The
rogue that can make people laugh is
welcome addition to society. In
time to come doors will be left open
for the humorous burglar. No, you
can't be funny all the time. Life is
life, and humor is decimal l per cent
Of it and no more.
Humor is an essence, flavor, Mr..
Jerome insists, and man who is
quick to see pathos and tragedy. Tt
takes reader as we'll as writer to con-
stitute the humorist, and both fact
ors must have conscience as we'll as
taste.

GAMBLERS FINGER NAILS.
Customs of Gard Sharps Observed by
Young Woman Manicurist.

Chicago Daily News.
"Do you know how to tell a gam
bier by sightq" asked young wo-
man with manicure establishment
i'll Il well known Chicago hotel. "Not
by loud, checked clothes, diamonds,
or patent feathers. 1t is to his fin
gers you must look. Card sharks al
ways have pliable fingers, and usu-
ally long ones. but I know by sizing
up their finger nails.'
The discourse Of the girl with the
scissors was to one of her young wo-
men patrons, who was preparing for
bridge party and wanted to go with
as pretty fingers as possible. The
young woman in the chair showed in
terest in the finger nail test for gam
blers. ,
eyes, presumed the manicurist,
busily polishing the nail of her GUS
TONER'S right forefnger, "most Of
the men who play cards for living
have the nails on four of their fin
gers cut very short. The first and
second fingers Of each hand are the
ones. The chips used in the games
are responsible. They wear the nails
away and keep them rough on the
edges, so they have to be kept cut
short"
The young woman said she was
regularly employed by twenty men
who depend upon their skill at cards
to win cash for their hotel bills in
Chicago. Of these, she added, only
one has long finger nails. He keeps
them by making it rule never to
pick up chip, but to move the little
ivory disks by showing them with his
finger tips OF sweeping them into his
hand at the side of the table. -

FAv0RS RESERVOIR PROJECT.
The Good 10 he Derived IhcrcfrOm
Would BE lncomparably Greater
Than the Damage"

ogden, Aug. 95.-Montie Il. GWinn,
chairman OF the executive committee Of
the National Irrigation congress, was
in ogden yesterday afternoon and last
evening as the guest OF Fred J. Kiesel
Of this city. Upon his arrival here he
was met at the union depot by an au-
tomobile and was driven through Og-
den canyon TO Huntsville. on the way
he viewed with interest the site OF the
proposed reservoir at the head OF the
canyon, also that part OF the ogden
construction of the dam. The party
returned TO the oaks. where dinner
was served, after which they enjoyed
q moonlight drive through the canyon
back TO town.
MIR. GWiun was enthusiastic over the
beauties OF the canyon. which he char
acterized as being second to none In
the country,
There is only one bad feature he
said, "and that is that your canyon has
not been properly advertised. | will
venture 10 say that there are not five
people In Boise who know that there
is such a place as Ogden canyon. l
for one was Of the opinion that IL was
the Weber canyon along the lire Of the
Union Pacific. Why, Il the people
knew more about It they would come
from all parts Of the world TO see IT,
ono OF the greatest points in its favor
is accessibility from the city. ! am
satisfied that there is nothing like II In

that could be irrigated which is now
lying a desert waste"
IN connection with tho irrigation con-
gress he stated that I'm all their cor
respondence the congress held In Ogden
was the one 10 which they referred as
their standard and after which they
are attempting to pattern as closely as
possible. Mr.. Gwinn and Mr.. Kiesel
