The Sioux City Tribune insists that
Ducky. Holmes had right to pull OFF tn
subterfuge that stole a game from Topeka
last week, because Ducky Holmes helped
to secure Topeka and Wichita perpetual
franchises in the Western league. To-
peka certainly appreciates whatever Mr..
Homes has done, but Reggie is wrong
when he insists that this justifies Holmeg'
being dishonorable.

Anii-GanbIinI0,I Bill

The Gazette gives the following as
the synopsis of the bill to be introduced
into the legislature by the Anti Gamb-
ling League of Reno:
The bill provides that all percentage
gambling games, all games for chance,
where money is to be the reward, and
all slot machines where money or checks
or slugs that are redeemable in money
are played, are unlawful 1t also
provides that the selling of pools on
horse races is illegal and fixes as a
punishment to such violation of the law
that u person, firm or corporation found
guilty of conducting, owning, dealing,
playing or supporting any of the I'M
lawful games or partaking in the sale
or purchase of pools, shall be deemed
guilty of u misdemeanor and fined q
sum not less than $1O0 or more than
$500, or by Imprisonment in the county
Jail not less than one month or more
than six months, or by both fine and.
imprisonment.
The law also provides that the sher-
ifs, constables and other peace officers
shall have the right to break into all
buildings they may have good reason
to believe contain gambling devices and
if they find'such gambling devices shall
take them before the nearest district
judge, who shall inquire into the case.
If the judge finds the goods to be for
gambling purposes, the law provides
that he shall destroy them immediately.
Secretary Hooper of the Reno Anti
Gambling League states that this law
will probably be adopted by the league
tomorrow evening and that it will
then be submitted to a mass meeting.
He states that he believes the law will
be passed without any great amount of
opposition.
The law does not provide that
friendly poker games, bridge games or
other games of that nature are illegal
and does not prohibit the use of slot
machines for the sale of cigars, gum or
goods of that nature.

The Lords Prayer

A maiden knelt in the twilight hour
and, clasping her hands, fervently
breathed forth: "Our father who art
in Heaven, hallowed be they name.
A mother, in deep agony of grief,
gazed on her child, sleeping her long
last sleep, smile wreathing her soft
lips, and white hands folded across that
still and pulseless heart, and kneeling
there, the living beside the dead, she
prays; 'Thy will be DONE"
AS the beams of the orient gilds the
sleeping land, widow With her
suffering little ones, chilled by poverty
and woe, bows at the throne of grace,
and fervently prays: "Give us our
daily bread"
An aged father, as his loved and
living boy goes forth from his parental
care to brave the cold frowns of life,
kneels beside him, on the eve of the
departure and pleads: Lead him not
into temptation, but deliver him from
evil, for thine is the kingdom, the
power, and the glory, forever. Amen"

What's an inch Of RalnY

The rain fell in buckets, the thun.
der racketed terribly, and the light
ming drew zigzag lines of bright gold
upon the violet sky.
$50 you, too, don't know what an
inch Of rain is exactly" said the
weather clerk, as he looked at his rain
measuring instrument. VERY few
people do, 1t seems. I'll explain Il to
you.
"An acre is 6,272,640 square inches.
An inch of water on an acre Is there.
fore 6,272,640 cubic inches. That
amount, at 227 cubic inches to the
gallon, equals $4,000 gallons, or 22O,-
900 pounds, or 100 tons.
can inch of rain is, in other words,
rain falling at the rate Of 100 tons
to the acre."

The Clever Woman.

With all the discussion that is now
going on about what constitutes the
clever woman it is interesting to get
the opinion of a great English author
and editor.
A clever woman, as wife, is wom-
an who is skilled in the conduct Of life.
in the control of the; household, and,
above all, in the management of her
husband, says William T. Stead in the
Delineator. A woman who could neith-
er read nor write would be bad wife
for any ordinary man in civilized
community, but such an illiterate wom-
an, If she were clever in all the arts
Of do tic economy, in the rearing Of
child1-ee, and in being at once the in
SEPARATION and comfort of her husband,
would be clever enough for the clever
est man in existence, and infinitely
preferable to the cleverest woman in
book learning that has ever been
turned out by a university.
