FATHER WAS "WISE" TO GAME
Possibly Dad Had Recalled Few In

with the boys of his class and fra

views with father concerning debts
and other financial troubles occa-
stoned by the Drain his pleasures had
made on his source of supply.
Several times the governor" had
been compelled to get various articles
of value back from the boys uncle,
and the relation of provider and spend

One day the student wired father
that his watch had fallen into deer

A judges wife, like the spouse of
Caesar, should be above suspicion. In
charging the jury in a gambling case a
Pennsylvania judge said: Many
apparently overlook the fact that, under
the laws of this state, every game played
for a stake is gambling whether it Is
progressive euchre, bridge whist domi.
oes, checkers, or dice, and is violation
of law; and the participants are liable
to be indicted and compelled to face the
jury" When his honor had concluded,
counsel for the defense stepped mp and
laid before him a copy of a local paper
containing an account of Il bridge party
at which the judges wife had won n
prize.

HE END or THE WORLD.

What will be the end Of the world
This is a question which was formerly
asked Of soothsayers and prophets and
often answered by them with definite
those who believed them, to the last de
gree disquieting. such prophets and
prophecies have all been proved errone-
Gus and the Millerites and their Kin have
all been laughed out of serious consider
alton. Science has taught us better,
and yet science which seeks always new
facts and revised reasoning is now
teaching us that our faith in the safety
Of the solar system is misplaced.
Instead of the eternally Changeless
procession of the planets about the sun
and Of our solar system about some 9TH
er greater sun, astronomers find grave
evidence of what seems disorder in what
we thought was perpetual perfection n
disorder which may, indeed probably
will, sometime wreck our own planet.
Il Is possible astronomically consider
ed il is probable that, unseen within
the remote confines Of space the vast
mass Of a dead world is hurting toward
our sun with inconcevable velocity. In
time the two will come together and the
Unreasonable heat produced will make
gas of granite and floating clouds of ne.
bulae of rs all for thus worlds die and
thus they are Immediately in process OF
being born again, for out of the conden.
