WEDDING OUT GAMBLING
(DubuQue Times)

A Sioux City lad bucked UP against
a slot machine and upon winning a
dime FASTENED home to impart the
news to his parents. The boys father
failed to grow enthusiastic over his
sons success and forthwith wrote
letter to Mayor Sears demanding that
slot machines be abolished. He relat-
ed the fact Of his 10-year- boy be-
ing allowed to gamble and added that
he would rather have lost $4,000 than
have the boy win. The father Is quite
right in his view. Had the boy pos
sessed $4,000 and had he lost 1t all on
his initial experience In gambling he
would really be better off than to have
won. Having lost he would have re-
celved strong lesson, but in winning
the spirit OF gambling was inculcated
into his youthful mind and 1t will take
all the advice and watchfulness OF
his parents to eliminate It,

DREAMS OF CHILDHOOD.
(Chelsea Independent)

ana so To-Day we look DaCk upon OUT
childhood days and their vanished
dreams with a feeling of amusement.
What queer ideas fill the mind Of a
child: what queer beliefs and thoughts
they have. We remember that VIXEN
we were small we desired above all
things to be freight brakeman until
the circus posters covered the dead
walls OF the town after which we stud
led to be bareback rider until d two
year old mule belonging to a neigh
Dor. and which we were riding on the
quiet because we had been told not
to, permitted us to fall off his quar-
terdeck and break our collar bone,
after which he stepped on us once and
kicked us in the sirloin twice. IT 1t
is true that the good die young, Well
bet four hundred tollaloes that that
cussed mule Is alive yet. and Wei bet
four cigars it never does die We do
not want to be a brakeman now.
We'd rather herd sheep. All we ask
now is pension Of say. about s1.S00
per month and not have anybody
around who could make us eat when
we didn't feel like it.

AS the world grows older, it becomes
more apparent to all that the bes.
means to attain a long life and to
maintain good health is thru the simple
life Plenty of work and plenty of
plain food and very few of the luxur-
les, that is the prescription that will
soon be written for all who want to
live long in the enjoyment of all their
faculties. OF course a very rich man
could work hard, and could live on very
simple fare and could forego all the
Injuries with which wealth can and
usually does surround itself But ifethat
becomes the rule, where will the great
advantage lie in being immensely rich?
Why should people toll and scheme
and hustle and yield up the very best
of which they are capable, simply to
get money, If that money is not to
give them many things which others
cannot buy? If the man with very little
money is going to live as well as the
man with many millions, why should
the man with millions assume all the
trouble and responsibility which great
wealth brings with it?
Perhaps the question of immense ac-
cumulations Of wealth which has
aroused so very much talk in recent
years, will solve itself, not as some
wild eyed roformers have tried to solve
it, but by very reasonable and nat
,lral process
