Daring Betting.

During the close Of the eighteenth
century the crpze for gambling In Eng
land rose 10 an extreme. AT certain
notorious clubs every incident was
made the subject OF n wager. and thou
sands changed hands over the verlest
trifie. A certain Mr.. Blake made him
self notorious by betting 81 300 that a
man could live twelve hours under
water. He hired daring fellow. and.
purchasing an old ship. they were
sunk together by way OF settling the
bet. Neither ship nor man reappeared.
so Mr.. Blake had to pay up. The IA
nous Earl OF Carlisle once staked
5000 on a single card at faro. on
one occasion mt Brooks. another noted
gambling club. Lord Robert Spencer
lost the last shilling OF the fortune
which he had obtained from his broth
or. the Duke Of Marlborough. and
General Fitzpatrick was In the same
condition. The twain combined. and.
borrowing n sum Of money. they open
cd n faro bank. They had a run Of
luck. and Lord Spencer's share Of the
proceeds came TO 100000. He peck
eted this cash and never gambled

CLASS RINGS TURNED DOWN.

College Station. Texas, June 4.-The
natural curiosity OF member OF the

Il was not what II should be. and as a
result the entire membership has
turned the class ring back on the
manufacturing jewellers.
The class ring is a very neat design
and the contract called for a fourteen
karat gold production. When the
member of the class who was OF an
inqurlng turn OF mind tested his
property and found that II was gold

was found that the brass run through

the factory went the entire lot and
there is a promise that each ring will
be replaced with one OF proper weight

the boys they discovered the imposi.

cause had the class become scattered
II would have been impossible to have
gathered all the evidence after school

INVITED TO COOPERATE.
Forestry Service Seeks 10 Interest
Children In Tree Study.
Special to the Eagle.

Special to the Eagle.
Washington. June 4.-Teachers
throughout the country have been In
vi,ed by the United States Forester
to cooperate with the Forest Service
In an effort 10 obtain more definite
knowledge of the characteristics OF
the most important forest trees of the
United States. To do this II will be
necessary 10 obtain a large number
OF volunteer observers who will col.
lect material on the time OF leaflng;
blossoming. and fruiting of the vari-
Gus kinds of forest trees. In his let.
ter inviting the cooperation OF the
teachers. Forester Pinchot says:
Knowledge OF this kind is greatly
needed and will be or vame from the
standpoint both OF education and OF
practical forestry. For educational
purposes the results obtained for each
species. averaged and presented
graphically by means of colored charts
will be available TO all who are In
terested In the subject, and particu-
larry TO schools. They will form vir-
tual stree calendars" and will be val.
liable aids to nature study.
Children can readily be interested
In the actual work of obtaining rec.
ords. This should form an attractive
outdoor feature OF school work that
should serve TO develop the faculty
OF accurate observation. and at the
same time to promote an interest in
forestry which may lead to a better
appreciation OF its aims and methods.
II may also prove to be a profitable
addition TO botany courses for older
students.
"A study of this kind will be OF
great value to practical forestry. since
the proper treatment OF forests de-
ponds partly upon n knowledge OF
these characteristics OF trees. For
example. the time OF year at which a
tree leafs out and blossoms Is one OF
the indications as to whether or not
II Is frost-hardy In given region.
and the length OF time that n tree Is
In leaf influences the growth II Is able
10 make during the season. Knowledge
of the time when seeds OF each species
ripen In various localities is OF great
value to those who are collecting
seed. since seed often deteriorate or Is
eaten by squirrels and birds II not
gathered and stored as soon as ripe.
Another result OF this study will
be q more intimate knowledge Of eli
mate az manifested by plant growth.
for differences In climate are shown
by plant life as well as by instruments.
and a preliminary idea can thus be
gained as to whether a given region
Is suited to n valuable tree which Il
Is desired TO introduce there Many
such examples could be given. but
sufficient has been said TO show that
the results OF these observation swill
be n real help TO practical forestry
In addition to theeir general interest
and educational value. Volunteers |

lions and charts containing the lnfor-
nation they help TO gather. as return

On request, the Forest Service will

full instructions as to the nature Of
the observations and how they are to
be made.

GRASS GROWN STREETS ARE CAUSE FOR COMMENT
Until recently

Until recently
 Until the time of year arrived for the natural decline and decay of the dense greenage that furnishes a re- fuge for the small boy who would take a swim in mid day in the city ditch, it appears that the residents of the town must be satisfied to watch huge .jungles of Johnson grass spring up and thrive on practically every street of the town. Macdonald street, from the banlSseerner to the station, the most important and most travelled thoroughfare in tfie city, has a dense fringe which waves luXuriantly with every breeze. proclaimigg louder than any word Cf mouth that there's some thing rotten with the street department manipulation in Mesa.
 There is little excuse for the pres ent condition of the streets. The city can utilize the bower vested in them to keep the streets in condition. There will probably never be a better oppor- tunity to show Avhat change can be worked in the appearance of a street than that offered by Macdonald and Center streets at the present time.

Yet the stampede continues. The race ! the way. are the only ones who are nations progress.
 One of the heaviest items of cost is the weakened and degenerate condition of the stomach of the average Amer ican. What has become of the robust and sturdy manhood of our fOrefath- CTS? Where are the strong. well-de veloped women of our earlier days? The percentage of vigorous men and women is steadily growing less. What is the cause? There is but one answer the mode of living. Irregularity of meals, neglect of natures calls, late hours, loss of rest, worry, hurry, hus- tie and hustle have brought about this condition.
 It has remained for an Ohioan. L. T. Cooper. of Dayton, to. call attention to this evil, and the wisdom of his logic has met with popular endorsement throughout the country. MT. Cooper has advanced the theory that the stomach is responsible for the major ity of illnesses common to the Amer ican people. He claims that the sstomach governs the entire body, and that when the stomach fails to per form its functions properly. the sys- Utem is weakened and rundown and unable to resist disease. To fortify yourself against disease and enpOy good health, you must look to your stomach first, last, and all the time.
 Reasoning from cause to effect, Mr Cooper has proved a remedy He claims that it is only necessary to re- store the stomach to normal condi- tiOn in order to enjoy good health, and with this end in view he has placed within the reach of every suf- ferer his new preparation. called Cooper's New Discovery. which is the best stomach tonic and blood pudifier on the market Prepared with great care from selected herbs, roots, barks, and berries, known for their efficacy in all stomach ailments. it has a very big demand wherever it's merits have become known.

The engine is is cheap and it is estimated that it will raise three times as much water as other pumps.
