ED INSTITUTION WAS PRIVATE
CLUB AND THE LAW DID NOT
APPLY TO IT.

Following the advice of Prose cut
ing Attorney Charles Laid and the
Young Mems Christian Association at
torneys, Wilfred Jessup and A. NJ.
Gardner, the police board will not
take any action against the assoc,a
ton for permitting it's senior members
between the ages of is and II years to
play pool and billiards. The advice of
the attorneys in the case was that the
Y. M. c. A. is a private club and can
operate such games without violation
Of the state law. One of the members
Of the police board stated today that
unless the law was violated the board
would not take any action.
The state law provides that no mi
nor shall play pool or billiards, but the
attorneys interpret this section 20
mean that minors are restricted from
playing in public pool and billiard par
lors and saloons. 1t is not effective
IL regard to. private residences and
Clubs.
Parents of boys between the ages OF
Is end q years, who are members Of
the Y. M. C. A. do not object to their
offspring indulging in pool or billiards
so long as they play on the Y. Nj. c.
A, tables. but they have strenuous
objections to their playing in public
places.
Law Enforcement Lax.
II is we'll known by every parent
in the city that the enforcement of
the law in regard to minors playing
rccI and billiards in public pariors
has been laxly enforced in the past.
One parent stated the other day that
il lis boy was not permitted to play
pool and billiards in the Y. NJ. c. A.
that he would refuse to pay his sons
membership dues. II want him to play
| in the association building. because if
| he does not know he will visit pub
lie places either run in connection
with cigar stores or saloons, as he has
in the past" stated this man.
| Commend Boards Action.
| Froprietors of these parlors stated
this morning that they believe the
board acted wisely. 1T is very hard
to determine young mans age. Even
it you know he is a minor. he will tell
yru that he is 21.'' This statement
was made today by pool room pro-
rrletor.

II didn't believe in drafts. I thought
that they who imputed colds to drafts

He shuddered.
"For a week." he said, Il was laid

And now I am satisfied that nine out

Hence I may practically say that

fact that none Of my patients, thanks
to my method, know what cold is.
'They learn from me to do thistle

@AAsD OF A MILLION DOLLARS.

s&AAlD OF A MILLION DOLLARS.
A Chicago newspaper tells the story
Of family heir to 81 .0OO, 600 that hest

The money comes from an uncle in
Germany.
But falling heirs to a million does
not seem to have given these people
the thrill supposed to come to the very
fortunate In these commercial times.
They are actually afraid Of the
money.
In an interview Mrs. Ascher says: II
suppose We must take the money. But
I can tell you want nothing but my
husband and children. We are very
happy. / am afraid of future with
much money. and 20 Is my husband"
Continuing. the good woman says:

On one occasion the hustling and
energetic archbishop OF York, DR..
Maclagan, wrote to the vicar in an
outlying village suggesting that he
should lend his church for the purpose
OF giving the clergy Of the district q
'quiet day" for meditation and frater-

sleepy hamlet in the wolds promptly
replied:

THE DEATu or YEKKEs.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

I want to read you little sermon on
the career and death of the late trac.
ton magnate, Charles T. Yerkes.
He died at fashionable hotel in
New York, and while his body was
still warm it was hustled into big
wicker basket and to freight elevator

His wife refused to see him on his

osfranged from him. No one but the
nurse was with him when he died.
He was worth-in money-many mil
Mems.
when .Ysrkes died the cafes and ro-
tundas Of the Waldorf-Astoria were
crowded with gay parties. The guests
must not be shocked. What to do?
The porters hastily filled big laundry
basket with soiled linen. Yerkes' body

1erred to . back sample room to await
the nndertaker's wagon.

aire, art critic and connoisseur was .

sodled linen, and his temporary sepul-
cher was dumping room for refuse.
Afterward, Of course, the body lay In
state in the Fifth avenue palace whence
he had tried to drive his wife. Nobody
but the reporters and curiosity seekers
came. Neither wife nor child nor rela-
tive was in the funeral procession,
consisting Of four cabs.
Yerkes divorced the wife who had
stood by him in the day Of his trial.
He married his stenographer, iured by
his desire for sensual beauty. Fas-
cinated by q third woman, he was suing
tho second wife for a divorce at the
time Of his death.
He was q man Of dominant power.
crafty intellect. cold heart and an
aesthetic taste.
Now
The old book says. Whatever . man
soweth that also shall he reap" and II
he '''sows to the flesh he shall Of the
desh reap corruption"
Yerkes sowed to the hesh.
He got what he bargained for.
It IL idle to ask If such man found

With your face to tho starry sky
You would try to look dignified.
