the month OF September the four
gambling houses each paid $500 to the
city: for October the same houses

Just what Apostle Mckay VII say
to the city's executive when such Il
report Is submitted cannot be foretcld
1t is safe To assume, however. that
the Betterment league VIII loosen the
leashes which have held its members
for the past four months. and again
take up the fight against the gamb-
lers.
Protected Clty's Warrants.
The only soothing balm TO the may
or's report Will be the fact that the
money taken from the gamblers has
been used advnntageously in protect
ing the city's warrants. which would
have had to be discounted. according
to the mayors own statement, had
not this revenue been available.
Mayor Glasmann already Is evolving
another scheme to keep up this reye-
nue. and, at the same time, satisfy
the Betterment league that the gamb-
ling houses are being properly regullt-
ed
This scheme. which has already
been discussed by members of the
league with favor, Is to raise the
fines so high that not more than
two houses can be operated in tho
city. and to station a special officer,
In the pay of the city, in each house
during the time it Is being operated,
with instructions TO prevent any glar-
ing croo&edness. and to keep a black
list TO prevent men entering the green
baize rooms after their wives have
made complaint to the police
Whether this scheme will be adopt
ed. even withqradical amendments. Is
doubtful. although some members Of
the league arc said - ne in favor OF
II rather than TO permit gambling be-

THE KINGS ORDER.

It Was Obeyed, and Vet the Monarch
 Was Not Happy.
 When King Gustavus III. of Sweden was in Paris he was visited by a depu- ration of the Sorbonne. That learned body congratulated the king on the happy fortune which had given him so great a man us Scheele, the discoverer of magnesium, as his subject and tel- low countryman.
 The king. who took small interest in the progress of science. felt somewhat ashamed that he should be so ignorant as never even to have heard of the re- nowned chemist. He dispatched cou. rier at once to Sweden with the laconlc order, "Scheele Is to be immediately raised to the dignity and title of a count"
 His majesty must be obeyed." said the prime minister as he read the or der, "but who in the world is Schecle?'' A secretary was told to make inquiries. He came back to the premier with very full information. ''Scheele is 8 good sort of fellow" said he, "a lieu tenant in the artillery a capital shot and a first rate hand at billiards ' The next day the lieutenant became a count, and the illustrious scholar and scientist remained a simple burgher.
 The error was not discovered until the king returned home. His majesty was indignant You must all be fools," he exclaimed, ''nat to know who Scheele is.''-Argonaut.

The drama had been disposed of, but the low comedian was missing and could not be found. What was to be done? A luminous idea finally entered the managers mind. The orchestra played an overture. then another, then a third, then a polka and finally a quadrille. At last. when the audi ence had grown quite obstreperous, the stage manager appeared. He ad- dressed the three conventional bows to the spectators and said: "I4adies and gentlemen, you are anxious. I know, to listen to La Soeur de Jocrisse.' The piece has just been acted. but through an unaccountable oversight on the part of the stage hands they forgot to raise the curtain"

Male adults of legal age and un- der seventy, with the exception of priests, notaries and judges, are re- quired to vote in municipal elections.

THE STOOL PIGEON.

It's Part In Capturing the Wild 5irds
 In Former Times.
 There are occasional reports of small docks of wild pigeons having been seen in different parts of the United States and Canada. Possibly these are the harbingers of their return from South America. whence they migrated for some unknown reason fifty years ago.
 It may not be generally known that the somewhat odious term ''stOol pi. geon" as used today arose from the stool pigeon that used to be employed in catching wild pigeons in former times. They used to be so plenty thai they were taken in great numbers by the use of spring nets. These nets varied in size. but were from two to ten yards long and were half as wide. They were concealed as much as pos sible, being partly covered with hay or straw or whatever was most suitable. At each end was q strong spring. to which ropes were attached. something like 150 feet long. to where the watch CT was concealed. Close to the net was a stool. or stand. where the ''stool pi- geon," usually tame or captured one. was placed. The pigeon was tied by the feet to the stool. and from this stool a rope extended to the person ia concealment. Wheat or some other grain was scattered about the net. and when the flock was passing the rope attached to the stool was pulled, cauB ing the pigeon to rise and hutter ttB wings in trying to escape. This at tracted the attention of the passing flock and induced them to light where the grain had been scattered. Then q slight pull on the ropes would release the spring to the net. which would be thrown over them so quickly that they had no time to escape. Sometimes many hundreds were captured in this way at a single haul.-AmateUr Sports man

Quaker Oats is the best of all foodss 9t is also the cheapest. When such men as Prof. Fisher of Yale Universitv and Sir James Crichton Browne.

 Professor Fisher found in his ex. periments for testing the strength and endurance of athletes that the meat eaters were exhausted lOmg before the men who were fed on such food as Quaker Oats. The powers of endur- ance of the non-meat eaters were about eight times those of the meat eaters.

Albion, the Gem of the Ocean," was written and composed by Jesse Ham mond. an English government dock of hciaI. about 1920 and was heard above all others i'll the theaters. music halls and oh London streets. It is apparent that "gem of the ocean" fits an island more aptly than our large tract of con- tinent, and "borne by the red and the blue' (tEe red of the British army and blue of the navy) is more logical than the meaningless line ''borne by the red, white and blue" The lines of the Eng fish songs are almost word for word identical with our version, 'The Red.
