more than to any other man that ever
lived He was the vests greatest
gambler He ran straight games as
we'll as brace games, and he made
fortunes playing against other mems

a card it literally turned to gold.
But he was never happy. He mar

him. The first left him and eloped with
an communicated priest. The priest

turned to Chicago, to be welcomed and
forgiven by the gambling king
For six months they lived together

Citations, through their annual assem-
bl1es, hold a place all their own in
the community. They combine the
family outing with unique education. a |
opportunity and add music and
amusements to the attractions of the

careful supervision, and the meetings
are characterized by dignity and
neighborliness. Briefly, they appeal to
class that does lot revel in excite

of rural and suburban life-people who
give close attention to game of base

the players in truly impartial fashion,
and to whom sleeping in tent and
eating from a table spread under the

The tendencies of such an outing are

CONFTSCATION.

Lively fear is expressed in many
quarters lest the 2-cert passenger rate
laws passed last winter by many legis-
latureS confiScate the income of rail-
road stockholders Whether they will
or not is a question which experience
alone can decide. Reduced fares often
increase traffic so greatly that a profit
appears where a deficit was expected
1t is reported that this has already
happened to the Union Pacific road
under the two-cent law in Nebraska,
says the Oregoniar..
While the question of confiscatidn
from this cause is pending, it might
be we'll enough to take account of
some others which have been active for
long time and which robs the stock
holders of enormous sums One of these
is the express graft. The express COM

the most part by railroad officials, and

MORE CHARITY FOR ERRING
BROTHER.

After being recaptured al escape
from the Oregon state penitentiary
was given a severe flogging. The story
leaked OUT, was published in the
Portland papers, commented on in the
editorial columns of The Oregonian
and discussed through the press by
citizens. Governor Chamberlain de-
feLded the flogging system in vogue
under his administration at the peni-
Tertiary on the grounds that it was
necessary to maintain discipline and
thereby precipitated a discussion.
While those who have made the
conduct of prisons a study may differ
as to the merits of the flogging sys-
tenn, and while much might be said or.
both sides of the question, the fol-
lowing, taken from communication
by a writer in The Oregonian, signing
himself "One interester in prison re-
FORM is the expression of a noble
cor ception and if borne in mind while
dealing with unfortunate people, will
go far toward building up the charac-
tiers of all parties concerned:
Charles Sumner once said that: Be
fore the. negro was a slave God AL
mighty made him a man." The same
might be said of prisoner, before he
was a criminal God Almighty made him
a man, and if a man has fallen, no
matter what scale ir. the descent we

that crime is only a certain degree of
