 Merrill Co.)
 MT. Ellery H. Clark is one of the cele brated athletes of this country. He has now written in Loaded Dice" one of the very interesting books of this month-if you care for the sort of book MT. Clark has written. It Is good, well written, and thoroughly interesting to even reviewer.
 The hero is a chap, stock broker who has decided that life is gamble. He is convinced that he or anybody else knows nothing absolutely of the hereafter. Therefore why not make life gamble! In other words, gamble on the chance of there being or not being hereafter. In other words, if he takes the gambler's s end, as MT. Clark designates it, then work that end both ends to the middle Tn se- curing for oneself all there is in this lire, letting the punishment come at the end of life--if there is any

$17,500 a year. The Western Slope
senators feared tnat If Greeley got the
appropriation it would prevent the es-
