From the St. LouA Globe-Democrat.

A missionary lay beside a campfire OF
birch logs in the Maine woods. smoking q
black cigar and watching the guide grill

Speaking of gambling" the missionary
said 4 know Of sect that regards it as a
religious duty, like fasting or prayer.

till sunset The day is the festival Of the
lamps, day sacred to Lakshun. the god
dess of wealth. A tremendous lot of money
changes hands in Lakshun's- honor.
'All this gambling Is done to test the
financial success that will attend on each
person throughout the year. If a gambler
loses he knows year Of hard luck IL

may expect twelvemonth OF prosperity.
Strange to say. good deal OF cheating
accompanies this religious gambling"

PUMP TO REMAIN.
Petition of Residents Of Wisconsin
Avenue Granted.

Avenue Granted.
Acting on a petition of residents of Wis
conisn avenue and Reservoir place, the
Commissioners today approved an order
that the public Well and pump at the cor
ner Of 32d and T streets be preserved
1t seemed that the continued existence of
the old pump seemed to be imperiled by
the proposed opening of Brown street, and
that aroused residents of the neighborhood
who depend on the well for their daily sup
plies of drinking water When the petition
was received the matter was referred to
the District health officer. and his report
was to the effect that the last analysis Of
the water from the well, July "a 1906
showed that 1t apparently contained no In
furious contamination. Acting Superinten-
dent of the Water Department ]. s. Gar
land stated that orders have been issued not
only for the retention of the pump, but for
its immediate repair. He also says that the
extension of Brown street does not neces-
sarily mean the abandonment Of the pump,
because the well is a shallow one, and the
pump can be adjusted to the curb line OF
the proposed Brown street

HELPED STEAL HIS OWN HOG.
Mean Trick Successfully Played on
Maine Farmer.

A well-to.do farmer Of Gardiner
Me, was awakened late one night
about year ago by some one loudly
pounding on lis door. When he asked
what was nted he was informed
that a lone man was taking hog to
town in sheep cart, and in some way
piggy had escaped. Would the farmer
be so kind as to assist him to reload
piggy.
In few minutes the farmer came
down, and made short work of loading
piggy into the sheep cart. The other
man, with many thanks, resumed his
journey, and the farmer went back to
bed
The next nornihg the farmer rose
early and began doing his chores. By
and by 1t came piggy's turn to be fed.
but piggy wog gone. A large gap in
the fence explained his absence.
Then 1t dawned upon the farmer
that he had got up in the night and
helped steal his own hog.
