FIVE KINGS

Apropos of an anecdote related of
the late King of Hawaii.
The king of the isles, the Hawaiian
isles,
Was a gambler of great repute.
He'd play bridge and poker with most
any onlooker,
What he won-well twas hard to
compute.
He got into a game of poker one night
Where the limit was the ceiling or
sky.
He'd had varying luck as the tiger was
bucked
For the cards seemed to go all awry.
A jackpot was made up and they all
came in
The gambler, the banker, the "kid,'
And The pot was large one, about
ten or twelve thousand,
And for it each one made his bid.
The monarch had threes which he fill
ed on the draw.
The kid had the four acres pat;
The gambler and banker each said,
mo, sir, we thank ye,
We won't play till we know where
were at"
~s
When the pot had been swelled fifteen
thousand or so
The kid said, why, I'm not to blame
But I've got four acres,' and the king
down to cases
Said, well, boy, you'll go down to
fame.
For this is the first time in all my
existence
(And I've travelled around this world
some)
That I've seen five kings btaten with
out any cheatin.'
But now I'm convinced-and I'm
done"

TAKE CARE OF GOOD HEALTH
Mlsta kesMost People Make Is in Wait
Ing for Bad to Come and
Then Codding II.

If we would take as good care of
our good health as we do of our bad
health we would have more of the
former and less of the latter. We set
our good health down in draft and
let it get its feet wet; we infringe on
its sleep time and gorge it with un-
suitable food at irregular hours. We
load it with nerve-racking cares and
duties, and reply to its frantic ap-
peals for rest with. "You haven't
time" We squeeze it with clothing;
we distract its ears with noise and its
lungs with bad air. But we put our
bad health in a quiet room, on soft
couch. We robe 1t in comfortable
gown; we give it pure air at stated
intervals; we put ice on its head and
hot water at its feet; we feed 1t with
food convenient for it. We take
away all care and responsibility; we
give 1t soothing draught to rest it,;
and we pay doctor 81 to come and
leave it a scrap of paper and say that
it will better tomorrow. One might
think we preferred bad health to good
health.-F'rom an Article in Good
Health.

VIII Seek the South Pole.

A. Henry Savage Lander, the Eng
fish explorer, who will soon make an
attempt to reach the south pole, is of
the opinion that Lieut.. Shackleton
failed through having cumbersome
and unnecessarily large expedition.
Mr.. Landor's theory is that small
caravan of trusted and hardy men.
lightly equipped as in his expeditions
through Asia and Africa, is best. Mr..
Landor's activity in aeronautic inves-
legations gives color to the rumor that
an airship will be used by him in his
expedition.

HISTORIC VlRGINIAHoMEsTEAD
House Where George Washington's
Mother Lived and Died at Fred

Washington.-Not many tourists
visit the house in which the mother
of George Washington lived and died
in Fredericksburg Va. The Washing
tons, or the branch of that large
Washington family which played SO
great role in American history, left
the Pope's Creeks farm, later called
Wakefield" in Westmoreland county.
about three years after the birth of
George Washington. The family re-
moved to another Washington farm in
Stafford county on the north bank Of
the Rappanhannock river opposite
Fredericksburg. 1t was there that
much of the boyhood of Washington
was spent. 1t was there that the
mythical exploits of chooping down
