The Girl Who Does Thinqs.

1t is the girl who does things in this
world who is attractive, both to men and
to her own sex, which last counts a little,
too, in the long run. You may not be able
to do great things. to paint great pictures
or to sing in grand opera, but you can
learn to make bright little things for
yourself and your friends, and perhaps
to play the light catchy airs OF the
day so that your friends will enjoy them.
And if YOU can't do anything else cult
vate the art Of talking brightly and of
being sympathetic.
Every girl can do one thing we'll if she
Will only take the trouble to find out
what that thing Is The difficulty is that
She often locks in the opposite direction.
She wants to do something great ana
snowy Or nothing at all. But there al.
other talents within reach If she will
only look. and these talents may be sucn
comfort to her dark hours that they
will make life better and happier botn
for her and those about her.
How the world likes a cheerful. plucky
girl who makes a brave fight and hides
her skeleton In a. closet instead of folding
her hands and whining because things
don't come her way-the girl who nuts
her own griefe as much as possible aside
who takes wholesome interest in lifei.-

Long Proprietor of Famous PennsyiVa-
mia Club at Long Branch, N. J.
Phil DAILY, who recently died at his
home in Long Branch, y. j.. was well
known to the sporting world of gen.
Grafton ago and for twenty-six years
was manager of the famous Pennsyl-
vania club at Long Branch. where
gambling ran high for many years I'M
til the cub fell under the ban OF the
authorities in 1898 and DAILY retired.
Mr.. Daily was born in Philadelphia
seventy-fve years ago. He took charge
of the Pennsylvania club in 1876 and
had full management until twelve
years ago. He never allowed cheating
or even sharp practice and would
not permit minors to play at his tables.
"a square DEAL waS the motto of
Phil DAILY. and In his varied career
from country boy to gambler he gave
and expected square treatment. This
and his pride in reputation for strict
honesty won for him a place at the
top of his self chosen profession. Rich
players trusted him implicitly. and
vast sums were placed in his keeping
with only his word for n receipt.
Phil DAILY began life as a country
boy. He simply drifted into gambling.
He ran a gambling house in Philadel-
phia for many years. Days Pennsyl-
vania club became noted for its equip
ment and cuisine and for the high play
that went on there.
DAILY always figured that It was bet
ter to have his patrons perfectly sat-
isfied than to have them in the frame
of mind where they might knock" or
do him harm some day. The princi-
pal games played at the Long Branch
house were faro. roulette and English
hazard Some OF the French games
were also played. ard there were
poker games In which the house did
not do any banking.
One night newly admitted patron
of the Pennsylvania club. as the house
was called. waGered 500 from jack
to deuce in faro. IN SOM way his
stake was shifted tx tho play TO a
point between the jack and queen. and
the dealer refused TO pay when the
jack won. The dealer called DAILY.

FooTWoRK IN POKER.
Indianapolis Police Found New Kind
of Contrivance For Card Sharps.

Indianapolis Police Found New Kind
of Continuance For Card Sharps.
Paul Wallace Of Chicago and John
French and Joseph Meisel Of st. Louis
were arrested In Indianapolis the 9th
er day on a tip from st. Louis which
notified the police that the men are
gamblers and win at cards by pecul-
lar device. When they were taken to
the police station and searched the
device was found in the shape OF lit
tie tin box which proved a great curl
osity to the police.
The box was made something like
nat metal faro box and equipped with
straps that fitted about the waistband
so that the box could be held in posi-
ton just below the edge of the poker
table. A string attached extended to
the floor and could be manipulated
with the foot. By pushing the foot
down on the string any card or cards
that might be in the box would slide
up and out of the box into the manip-
ulator's hand without being noticed.
The shrewd manipulation could thus
put in and take from the box any card
he wished at will.

DENIES The CRIME
MANI Girl, in Spite of Evidence
That She Poisl ed
Sister, Is Calm.
THE POLICE FIND A MOTIVE
Jealousy Over Finer Clothes Said to
Have Resulted in De-
sire to Kill.

Massillon, Ohio, March 22.-At a
preliminary hearing this morning
Catherine MANI, detained in connec-
ton with the death of her sister,
plead not guilty to the charge of
murder in the first degree, and was
sent back to jail.
A story that is unique in the his
tory of crime in Ohio is contained in
the charge that the police have laid
against this girl of 16 years. She
is accused OF poisoning her sister
Elizabeth, three years ner senior,
with strychnine, and the motive i'm
puted to her is jealousy of her sis
ter's wardrobe, more brilliant than
her own.
The body of the elder sister was
found in the kitchen of the MANI
home Friday night, and simultane-
ously it was discovered that Gather
inc had fed, taking with her the best
of her sisters clothes.
Brought here after her arrest in
Akron, where she had applied for
gan, she faced her accusers with a
calm greatly out of keeping with the
gravity of the crime with which she
is charged, and told them unemotion-
ally that her sister was dead before
she left the house.
Admits Buying Poison.
The most damaging evidence
which has been procured against the
girl is the admitted fact that she pur-
chased strychnine at a local drug
store shortly before her sisters
death and also bought small guam
tity of chloroform.
The girl asserts that she bought
the strychnine for man whose name
she has thus far refused to divulge.
This man. she declares, subsequently
handed her two capsules, which she
claims she believed contained quiz
nine. One of the capsules she says
she laid on the table beside her sister
when she left the house on Friday
morning. The chloroform she says
she bought for cleaning purposes.
EIudes Fathers Control.
The mother of the MANI girl has
been dead for 5 years and, according
to GATHERINGS father, she has grown
up headstrong and absolutely beyond
his control For the. past year she
has been receiving mail at the post
Office general delivery from large
of young men of surrounding
