NEW YORK, May 30.--A carriage
ride OF a few blocks ahead Of New
York marching veterans and then a
review of the Memorial day parade
were the events OF President Tafts
brief visit to the metropolis today
The president arrived here early to-
day over the Baltimore q Ohio from
washington and remained in his car
for over an hour after 1t was shifted
to a sidetrack In Jersey City. He
slept later than Is his custom and
kept about a hundred railroad ON
ployes waiting for glimpse OF him,
stopping practically all work about
the Jersey Central station.
With Representatives Bennett and
Olcott, of New York, who came up
from Washington on the same train
with him, the president was taken to
the home of his brother, Henry W..
Taft. There he had breakfast, and a
short time later received the commit
tee In charge Of the parade.
The committee hurried the presi-
uent to Seventy-second-st and Broad
way, where he took his place at tie
head of the parade. He led the pro-
cession to the Soldiers and Sailors
monument at Eighty-ninth-st. and
Riverside drive. There he took his
place in the reviewing stand and

DETERMINED TO
STOP DICE GAMES
Police Twice Raid Place in Hilsen-
degen Block and Officers May Be
Stationed There.

Capt. Alphonse Baker, Of the first
police precinct, is determined to put
q stop to the gambling games that
have been conducted in the Hilsen-
degen block.
Within week two raids have been
made on the place, with the result that
a dozen or more devotees OF the dice
were locked up on each occasion.
This proceeding doesn't help the po'
lice much. however, as the gamblers
are hardly registered at the police sta
ton before an order comes for their
release.
Early Sunday morning raid was
made and before the participants were
locked up, a taxicab was sent for
their release order. Police Justice
Jeffries was the accommodating per-
son who ordered their freedom.
Some OF the gamblers returned to
the place Sunday afternoon and found
sergeant and policeman occupy
ing the rooms.
IF We can't stop this gambling any
other way, well simply have to keep
officers in the place" said Capt. Baker

Greek Peasants and the Rule Of the
Moral Over Children.

Moral Over Children.
The peasantry Of Greece firmly be-
lieve that the future of every child is
determined by the three fates, known
by the name Of the Moral. In the
popular mind this trio of fates are
supposed to be three old and wrinkled
women whose habitation is noun
tain cave They come simultaneously
to a house where new baby has
made its appearance, says the London
Globe.
When they are expected all furni-
ture is set aside so that their aged
and tottering feet may not be him
dered, and refreshments in the shape
Of honey cakes, bread and wine are
placed ready for these important
though invisible guests. Money, too,
is placed for them as bride to get
their favor for the baby, so that his
future may be one long, sweet song,
the superstition being that all things
good and bad are In the giving of the
fates
On no account must the child's
beauty be alluded to when the Moral
are present. as this will certainly make
its good looks disappear. Marks on a
babys skin are looked upon as sent by
these harbingers Of veal or woe.
III luck is supposed to be the lot Of
the children who cut their upper teeth
first. There are one or two African
tribes who so firmly believe this that
they are said to kill all babies but

ing the afternoon a dark mass Of
cloud appeared above the southern
horizon. Mrs. Maxwell. looking out Of
a window. saw it. She also saw Stuntz
sitting with his gun acress- the road
not 300 yards away. Of the two she
dreaded Stuntz the more, though she
kept her eye on the cloud. Presently
It assumed the shape of an immense
balloon. She let her husband out Of
confinement, showed him the cloud, and
the whole family went to the cellar.
Stuntz was not facing the balloon
cloud and didn't see it. Furthermore,
he, being from Kentucky. had had no
experience with Kansas cyclones. On
came the pillar Of cloud, gyrating like
Il top and humming like mighty cat
aract. Stuntz heard the sound. but did
not know what 1t was. he was afraid
to get up and go to the other side Of
his house for fear his neighbor might
slip away and he would miss an op-
portunity of shooting him.
Then suddenly Stuntz. amid a mass
of whirling timbcrs which O second
before had been his house. went up
into the air. Whirling like teetotum
turning thousand somersaults, he
was carried with the rapidity of can,
non ball for q mile and half. then
dropped to the ground from an alti
tudo of several hundred feet.
When the Maxwell family emerged
from the cellar they saw neither
Stuntz nor his house. His gun was
living with broken stock in the road
The cyclone had cut swath covering
the Stuntz house and leaving thefl
own unframed.
1t developed later that Stuntz was ;

Alesson In Physiology.

The school superintendent was in
the habit Of dropping in to the differ

cital of lessons from the pupils. One
day her active mind hit upon physiol-
oSy as the study for examination.
1t happened that the teacher did
herself not like the study of the hui
man anatomy and therefore had not
drilled her scholars as she should have
done. But the little girl to whom the
first question was put so bewildered
the superintendent and made her lose
her patience that there were no more
questions of similar nature asked.
