New York Motorman Searches Tracks
Fifteen Minutes for Quarter.

New York.-There was much excite
ment on the Bowery the other day
when a motorman on a south-bound
Third avenue surface car tied up the
line for nearly 10 minutes trying to
find 25-cent piece he had spied in
the center of the track. The coin was
lying in the groove of the rail. When
he brought the car to a stop the
wheels of the truck were directly over
1t.
This the motorman did not know,
and he crawled under the car to
search for the coin. A large crowd
soon gathered, thinking something was
wrong. The discovery was made at
Grand street, just at the time when
the streets were badly congested and
traffic was at its height. Several po-
licemen soon arrived and wanted to
know what all the trouble was about.
1t wasn't long before the crowd learn
ed what the motorman was after.
Several men and boys, including a
couple of STRENGTHENING sweepers, Inn
mediately joined in the search. After
crawling about for ten minutes In vain
the motorman had an inspiration that
the coin might be under the wheel
He told the conductor to start the car
on about foot. Then there was q
scramble. Boys, men and street-olean
ing sweepers made rush for the Bit
of money at the same time. The mo
torman, who was the nearest to 1t
after a hard struggle, knocking the
men and boys aside. finally got 1t.
By this time the street was blocked

LAD OF 2 CROSSES SEA ALONE.
Adorned with Many Tags Before He
Reaches New York from Russia.

New York.--Adorned with motley
array of tags, which were pinned on
his coat, shirt and trousers in many
cities on the route from far off Minsk,
Russia, to this city, seven-year-old
Benjamin Meyerson is quartered in
the Hebrew home for immigrants in
this city. He Is bound for Omaha,
where his parents, who left Russia
several years ago, now reside.
The boy remained with his uncle
until recently, when his parents sent
for him and he was started alone on
what probably has been the most re
markable journey ever taken by lit
tie fellow of his age.
Benjamin's uncle tagged him so that
the railroad men might know where
to ship the tiny human freight. He
also appended to the boys coat re-
quest that wherever the wee journey
er stopped he should be bathed. The
child has been scrubbed in score OF
cities.
At each point where the boy
changed cars he was retagged until
when he arrived two days ago on the
Etruria he looked like a misshaped
trunk that had gone through the
grand tour.

Pavina Streets with Gold Ore.

West Denver is soon to boast of
having probably the only streets on
this earthly globe paved with gold.
While workmen the other day We're
unloading disintegrating granite sEp.
ped from South park for the surfac-
ing of the district between south
Eleventh and Larimer streets, they
found rock which contained what
looked to be free gold. Samples were
turned over to experts, who pro-
nounced that to the naked eye 1t was
Enthusiastically gold ore. This opinion
was strengthened by the fact of ma
terial having been secured in South
park. This district was recently ex-
amined by mining engineers repre-
senting the chamber Of commerce, who
reported that the district was an un,
explored region of wealth. Mayor
Speor has some samples of the rock
which he intends to have tested by
an assayer. In the meantime this
presumably valuable material will be
placed on the streets unless so much
ore is found by the assayer TO war

BRIDGE WHIST CRAZE
SUMMER COLONY AT NEWPORT
WILD OVER GAME.
Many Prominent Society Women Give
Up Their Whole Time to IT.
Golf Clubs Again Popu.
lar as a Result.

Newport, X. Newport has the
bridge whist craze. So has Narragan-
sett Pier and Bar Harbor, but 1t is at
Newport that the epidemic is most
virulent.
Here pursuit OF the game has be.
come an obsession. Big sums OF money
are won and lost every day at the
tables. Women in most instances are
the most inveterate of the gamblers.
The flushed face OF the woman gam
bier can be seen daily in carriages that
fash along Bellevue avenue. Her ner-
vous, eager manner betrays her, AT
ordinary social functions she waits pa
tiently for the outsiders to depart in
order that the elect few may creep
away to the boudoir of the hostess for
an hour at bridge.
Bridge is not the only game. More
than one splendid villa here now con-
| ceals dainty roulette wheel and
private faro layout for the delectation
of the elect.
To such an extent has the passion
for play gone that some Of the older
heads are seriously discussing the or
| ganization of an anti-gambling crusade.
| The effect of gambling on the nerves
| Of some women in the younger set, as
| we'll as ON their pocketbooks, Is Gre
| ating alarm.
And then the golf club claims atten-
| ton. The golf club had run to seed.
| It was SO far away it didn't offer any
particular diversion after one had made
the long journey out to the place. OF
| late, however, unwonted prosperity
| has come to the club. Bridge whist
did 1t. Confronted with a situation
that spelled ruin for the club the man
ayers appointed women's committee
to take matters in hand The commit
tee turned to bridge whist Now the
golf club has become one of the most
popular institutions at Newport. Mem
bers even occasionally play golf as a
recreation after several hours of en-
ervating play at the tables.
Here it is that the passion for bridge
is seen at it's height On a recent
afternoon there were eight tables go
ing. Refreshing breezes swept in from
the ocean. Half dozen of the best
known women in New York and Phil
adelphia society lounged outside on
the terrace. Within at least 20 young
women and few men toiled feverish
ly at bridge.
Among the stories they tell sub rosa
at the golf club is one of a young WON
an who has won enough during this
season to buy handsome automobile
,, and another young woman who lost
so much that her father threatened tt
cut off her allowance and refuse t.
stand responsible for any of her debts
If she does not quit the game. There
are other stories of matrons who are
:, heavily in debt to their fellow-players
and couple of men who practically
support themselves by means of theil
winnings.

BILLION LOST ON CRIMINALS.
Caring for Vicious Costs More Yearly

Washington.-"This country spends

the annual increase of wealth Is only
$4,000, 100000. Does not that look as
If the public were bankrupt"
This statement was made In lee
ture by DR.. Charles ]. Bushnell, who
is conducting a model public play

Heidelberg university and an author
ity ON civic matters.
Dr. Bushnell's figures are taken, as
he says, from reliable sources and
represent years of careful study. He
challenges anyone to disprove their
accuracy. He and his wife have made
a special study of what they call the
social illness" of the United States
Continuing. DR.. Bushnell said:
why, the $6.000,0O0.000 that this
nation spends every year on its Grim

all churches, public Libraries, the
Young Mems Christian association

NEW SIGNS OF PROSPERITY OBJ.

lcoln, Neb.-Western agents OF
au mobile factories assert that IL the
machines could be obtained hundreds
OF autos could be old this summer to
the farmers of Nebraska and Kansas.
AS 1t Is, the residents OF the country
towns and the farmers are buying
moro OF the benzine buggies than the
cities, and there Is scarcely country
town In Nebraska in which there are
not more automobiles in proportion to
the population than in Lincoln or
Omaha.
The prosperity of western farmers
has become an old story, and this pros
lperity Is going to be augmented this
year by another big crop of wheat and
corn and oats. Most of the farmers in
the state could buy a medium priced
machine just as luxury II they want
ed to, but the manner in which they
have amassed their money does not
lead to extravaganza of that kind
When Nebraska agriculturist adds

only that which will be Of use. That
is why he is just now turning to the
automobile. The favorite farm type
is the runabout, largely because of Its
low first cost. The prudent farmer

THE STORY.

TT WAS perilous undertaking, but
the heart of David, chatting under
the cruel and bitter prosecutions he
had suffered at Saul's hands, had
grown desperate, and when his re.
lentless enemy had followed him
into the wilderness of Ziph he
had suddenly resolved that he would
not be hunted down like a dog, but
would seek his enemy face to face,
and that it should be either Saul's
life or his own in a hand-to-hand
encounter. That evening his spies
had returned with the report that
King Saul himself had come with
his soldiers, and was encamped in
the hill of Hachilah, and he had de-
termined to hazard journey thither
and started at once with Abishai.
1t was a hard and perilous jour.

1.-TWO robins are now building in
tree close to my window, and besides
twigs, blades of dried grass, horse
hairs, and other things that might be
expected, one of them brought skein
of blue silk thread. It had been stolen
from somewhere, and was evidently
regarded by both the robins as very
valuable acquisition, for after bring
ing 1t to the nest there was a long,
animated discussion as to what ought
to be done with 1t. 1t would not dc
to use it on the outside, for it's color
was so bright that it would attract at
tention to the nest, so after a world of
talk about it, the silk was finally dis
posed of by twining it round and
round on the inside. There it be-
came the cause of further trouble, for
the male bird, leaving the nest, found
1t tangled with his claws, and pulled it
nearly all out, being roundly scolded
by the lady bird for his carelessness
1t took hours to put it all back again
and prevent recurrence of similar
accident, but things were finally adj

birds, and though l could not see,

avenge me of thee: but mine
hand shall not be upon thee
The words of David to Saul fol-
lowing his remarkable expert
ence in the cave when King
Saul came into his power, and
when he withstood the strong
temptation to kill him. II was
a most remarkable exhibition
of self-controi, of noble-hearted
magnanlmity, Of faith In God.
About year later similar OPP
portunity of taking sauPs life
came to David, but as on the
first occasion he wlthstood the
pleading of his companion, as
we'll as the temptation Of his
own heart.
Here was one of the supreme
testing times which was to prove
his worthiness for kingship. He
must rule his own spirit before
he could rule a kingdom. In
the strict terms of justice he
could rightfully have taken
Saui's life. The natural desire
and the sense of seIf-preserva-
tion dictated such a course. 1t
seemed as though 1t must be
either Saui's life or his own life,
} and when seemingly by provl-
Dental intervention his enemy
} had been placed within his pow
err, why should he not be
avenged of the bitter wrongs
and prosecutions which he had
been forced to suffer, mas
much also as God had spoken
good concerning him and had
promised him the kingdom?
But no, with marvellous self
control, he. held himself in
S check, refusing to give reign to
5 the unworthy impulses which
sought for qualification.
5 Thus was the noble, large
heartedness of his nature called
; into expression. BY the check
Z ing of the lower, the higher had
, opportunity of expansion and
3 growth. And this is one of the
? important laws governing the
: development of character. The

3 only roots out the bad but II
2 puts new life and vigor into the

B But the supreme and the sub
