Is Il NapoIeon,a Rlhls2

An Italian journalist is said to have
discovered the Bible which was used
by the Emperor Napoleon during his
exile on the island of Elba. 1t is of a
common type, illustrated with large
wood engravings, and bears on the back
the letter IN" surmounted by the i'm
perial crown. 1t was found in the
Chapel of the Madonna, on the island
OF Elba, and near which the emperor
stayed for IL days at the beginning Of
his exile. 1t possesses interest from
the fact that the emperor has under
lined many passages bearing on his
state of mind at the time.

viii Grow Their Own Ties.

The growing scarcity of timber suit
able for ties, with resultant increase
in their cost, has led II roads to start
forests. Ten roads in the east have
already planted in their respective for.
est sites thousands of catalpa, black
locust, red oak, pin oak and chestnut.
One road has selected the eucalyptus
because of its rapid growth and adapt
ability to the climate of California.

SLUG MAKERS NOT
AMENABLE TO LAW
Those Who Go Up Against Slot Ma
chimes Find Novel Way to Beat
Them BY Getting Brass Slugs Made
In Size of Various Coins and Then
Play Machine.
Especial to THE TINES

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Jan. 21.-Some
Indiana HarbOr man has found a way
to beat the slot machines. 1t is ali
very simple when you know how it is
worked. You don't count the reds and
blacks or You don't play the blues and
the yeIlows until they pay.
The only successful way that has
yet been found TO beat them is to have
little slugs made just the size of a
quarter. Have them made in large
quantities and then start out and play
the machines when the owners are not
looking.
Safe From Prosecution.
The beauty of thing is that the
man who works the game is safe from
prosecution. The running of the slot
machines is unlawful and they are
made to beat those who go up against
them. The man with the slugs takes
the position that If the machines are
made to beat him and he can beat the
machines, he has turned a trick.
1t is said that the slugs work so
successfully that the owners of the
machine are deprived of their entire
profit of Is per cent through the mani
pulations of the mon with the brass
slugs.
1t is believed that the machines are
being beaten by men who go about the
country making that their business
They know they are safe from prosecu-
ton for the reason that the owners of
slot machines would not dare to have
the court take cognizance of the fact
that there are slot machines in opera
ton.
Trick Is Discovered.
The discovery of the trick was made
yesterday afternoon when one of the
slot machine owners made his weekly
trip to collect the profits of the ma
chine. Going into the Landfield bowl
ing alleys and opening the machine, he
pulled forth handful of the brass
slugs, and on counting them found
almost a hundred.
He was an angry man when he pro-
ceeded across the street to the Wilson
and Kidd buffet, where a like number
were discovered. The slugs are the
same size as an ordinary quarter and
are apparently of the same weight A
close watch is being kept on the ma
chimes in an effort to ascertain who
is playing the game.

LOSES SEAT OF PANTS

William H. S. Parry, of the Pressed
Brick company of Gary, is minus the
seat of his pants as a result of an
encounter with a dog yesterday. He
was attacked by a strange animal
which took hold Of him and did not
release his grip until the trousers final
~ gave way.
Mr.. Parry is being jollied by his
many friends over the episode, and is
congratulating himself that the dog did
not get hold of him instead of simply
the trousers.

seIf-sacrifice Of Trained Nurse.

DIR. s. Weir Mitchell, physician and
author, recently told a graduating
class of nurses at the University hos.
pital in Philadelphia that they were
entering the best paid occupation OF
women wage earners" Then he added
1T is startling fact that the limit OF
the competent working years of the
trained nurse is from ten to 10 years,
which simply indicates the strain, the
sacrifice and devotion of those who
thus give themselves to the combat
against disease"

GAS, OIL GOLD MINES.

At a special meeting Of the
| Commercial Club last Tuesday
evening the resolution to partici-
pate in the Alaska Yukon expo
sition was reconsidered. This
was done because of the fact
thai but a small amount of the
actual resources of this county
was available at present and ii
would be better not to attempt
a display unless it was good
one.
A. Venator was present and
suggested that the Club should
assist the Harvey County Fair
in every possible manner to Sc
cure good display this fall and
keep it intact to send to the 0ma-
ha Corn fair in December. Mr..
Venator said that in this way
Harney County would reach many
thousands of the farmers of the
middle west and the class of peo-
pie we most desired. This sug-
gestion was well received and
the Club finally adopted a mo-
ton instructing the committee
to ask the county court to appro-
pirate $1,000, one-half of which
to assist the local fair and $500
for the purpose of advertising
Harvey county.
While there was more or less
fun created in the discussion of
the recent gas discovery near the
lakes, there was some serious
thought given to the matter and
it was generally considered that
the possibilities for oil should be
investigated. Mr.. Mckinney
stated that Jack Darst had re-
Gently tapped the main ledge of
his gold mine at Idol City at the
100 feet depth where he found a
four-foot vein assaying $40 free
gold and concentrates $275 to the
ton. Mr.. Darst has most con-
sistently pursued development
work there and his hopes have
been rewarded, This is of con-
siderable Importance as it places
this camp one of the best in the |
west.
The Club elected the following
delegates to attend the Oregon
Idaho Development Congress
at Ontario: Frank |
Davey, DR.. l.. Z. Hibbard, Dell
