FORTY YEARS GAafRIING ENDS.
500 Hot Springs Citizens, With Bras
Band, Force on the Lid.

Hot Springs, Ark.-Forry years {
gambling came to a spectacular en-
in Hot Springs when the City In
provement Union of 500 citizen
closed thirty gambling rooms an,
gave a battalion of gamesters tel
hours to leave the city. The twenty
three executives OF the union, known
as the "skiddoo committee" issued
a final warning that the rooms must
be closed at once. No heed was paid
to the warning and the entire mem
bership of the union, headed by a
brass band, marched to the City Hall,
to police headquarters and to thu
Court House and forced State, coun-
ty and city officials to raid and close
the gambling houses forthwith, the
500 going along to see it done prop
erly.
To the roll of drums and blarc of
brass, such gamblers as were found
were marched to the Union Station
and ordered to take the first train out
and return no more. Five hundred
gamblers, cappers and women are
leaving the place and fully half a
million dollars worth of parapher-
MALTA is boxed for shipment.

variations and also the favorite and
always becoming three-quarter
sleeves. In the illustration it is made
of chiffon broadcloth with trimming
of braid and collar and cuffs of en-
broidered silk, but it can be utilized
for all suiting materials and also foc
all those that are appropriate for the
separate jacket, az it fills both needs
equally well. For the between-sea-
sons time mohair and silk will be
found admirable while for the colder
weather broadcloth. Panama cloth
and cheviot I'll will be in vogue, and
the vest and collar car be of heavy
lace or velvet or almost any con-
trasting material that may be
liked.
The jacket is made Nth fronts,
side-fronts, backs, side-backs, and
double under-arm cores, the many
seams meaning perfect and easy fit.
The little vest is separate and it at
tached under the froIts and the col
lar finishes the neck edge. The
sleeves are in one piece each, com-
fortably full and treated after a quite

edges.

Seven Rules For Longevity.

The following rules for living to
a ripe, old age are given by Mrs.
Henderson in her recently published
volume, The Aristocracy of Health
(Harpers):
l. Study the laws of nature for
health and the remedies of nature
for cure.
2. Avoid all poisons.
s. Take abundant exercise in pure
air, but always short of fatigue. So
exercise that every portion of the
body is equally benefited. AS it
takes a strong engine for a long jour-
ney, cultivate lung-power by slow,
deep-breathing exercises.
4. Eat only the amount of food
that nature needs, and study what
to eat from a scientific point of
view.
S. Cultivate normal sleep. Live
and sleep only in oom that are well
summed, well ventilated, and not over
heated.
6. Cultivate the habit Of work in
connection with some worthy ambi.
ton, for healthy exercise of body
and mind is as Strengthening as re-
pose, and should balance it. Work
while you work and rest while you
rest, avoiding all worry. Make your
self useful to the world, and feel
that you have a mission in it.
Z. Avoid all environments, the
worst of which is the friend who en-
courages you to poison yourself.

Battle Ensues-1Iany Wounded
on Goth Sides.
Buckingham, Quebec. Two men
were killed and a dozen wounded in
a conflict between striking mill hands
and Provincial police at the Mac
Laren Company's saWmills here. The
rigorous measures taken by the au-
thorities to quell the riotous strikers
has had a telling effect, and no fur
Their trouble is expected. The men
killed were President Belanger, of
the Mill Workers Union, and leader
Of the strikers, and Xavier Tehrieu, a
mill hand. Five of the wounded men
are in a serious condition.
The strike at the mills began Sep
TENDER Is. The announcement made
that the mill owners would import Ia
Dor and start the mills put the men
in a desperate frame of mind. A
meeting was called at which incea-
diary speeches were made. About
the middle Of the afternoon the men
decided to clear out the strike-break-
erS.
A mob of 200 men armed with re-
volvers and other weapons rushed up
the hill leading to the mill. The mill
owners, who had looked for violence,
had; posted forty detectives and spe-
cial policemen on tho outskirts of
their property. There was no par
leying. The first rush of the strikers
was met by a volley from the revolv-
ers in the hands Of the police. Be-
LANCER, who was leading the mob, fell
at the first volley with two bullets in
his head. He died where he fell.
The strikers sought shelter and
opened fire on the police, many of
whom were hit. Alexander and AL
bert MacLean, members of the firm,
fought beside the police. A desul-
tory fusillade was kept up for fifteen
minutes, the strikers standing their
ground and the police remaining be-
hind their hastily constructed barri-
cades. 1t was apparently by mutual
consent that hostilities were suspend
ed. while both sides removed their
wounded.
AS there appeared to be a likeli-
hood Of a renewal Of the trouble an
appeal was sent to Ottawa for troops.
They arrived and went into camp
near the lumber yards.
The strikers declare they will
elect another leader and continue the
strike. Their former wages Of S1.25
a day, they declarey will not keep
them and their families alive. The
MacLaren Company, which is one of
the largest lumber concerns in Can
ada. is equally determined not to
give in to the strikers.

APPLE TREES 80 YEARS OLD.
They Were Planted by Indians ut :,
Historic Spot in Michigan.

Planted by the Indians eighty
years ago, when the spot was an In
aian reservation and burying ground.
two apples trees still stand side by
side on the bank of the Shiawasse
River near Vernon.
The trees are o Of mammoth
size, measuring six and eight feet in
circumference, and Notwithstanding
their age they are still in healthy
condition and bear fruit each year.
Near where they stand was To-
Gated the first settlement made by
white men in Shiawasse County
about one hundred years ago. In
those early days the spot was one
of the chief trading points in the To-
cality.
1t was located on n Of the first
trails hereabouts, and, being also on
the river, bank, was accessible by
water. In those days water was
used for travel more than it IS now.
So large was the business done by
Indians and fur traders that in 1910
a bank was established here. 1t was
one Of the wildcat variety so con-
mon in those days, and issued a
great amount of wildcat currency.
Tradition has it that whils the
bank was doing a flourishing bust
ness some of the large holders of its
currency became uneasy about the
security for the redemptio; of the
paper and planned q raid to loot the
bank.
The bank officials, hearing of the
plan. took the banks specie and
buried it near the river. There still
live is that vicinity some oldtimers
who Relieve that the money is bur-
led there yet, and many excavations
have been made in the hope of I'M
covering it.
The trend of progress has been
away from this spot, and any one
visiting there to-day will find a peace
