There is no getting around the fact
that the general conference Of the AZ

the expansion OF the church on the

OF several bishops on the other. There
is a large number of men In the church

other Office with credit and honor, and
many of them are being constantly

Great increase In Gambling Reported
to League Which Is Fighting
Evii-Women Victims.

Misunderstanding is on the In
crease in England. According to re-
ports to the British Anti-Gambling
league, organized gambling is making
gigantic strides, and this despite the
fact that the police have made it
very difficult for one to place bets in
London and the other big cities of the
kingdom.
1t is stated that whereas a century
ago there were only 20 bookmakers in
Great Britain and Ireland there are
now some 80, 900 men getting their liv-
ing wholly or partly in this way.
The turnover is estimated at about
$500, 600, 900 on horse racing. and $780,
O00, 900 on football and other sports.
The gambling evil. too, is spreading
alarmingly among women and chill
dren and is restricted to no particu.
lar class Of society.
There have been 46 cases OF WON
en- bookmakers before the courts in
the last year.
The league has protested to the gov.
eminent against the receipt Of foreign
lottery circulars and called the atten'
ton OF the police to the existence Of
many girls betting clubs.

HEN IS JACK OF ALL TRADES
Chenille, N. Y, Chicken Helps Owner
to Build Coop After He Smashes
Finger With Hammer.

Tarrytown. N. Y.-The white leg
horn hen owned by John Grohan OF
Chenille, which a few weeks ago fol-
lowed him to the trolley a to pay
his fare with q nickel he had forgot
ten, has again proved her devotion to
her master.
The other day Grohan enjoyed q
half holiday and he started to build
q small chicken coop. The hen stood
by and watched him pick up the nails
and drive them home. After he had
picked up half a dozen the hen walk
ed over and picked up n with ner
beak and dropped it in his hand. This
was simple, and Grohan was getting
along well with his Job when he
smashed his finger.
With this handicap he couldn't hold
the nails. The hen. seeing that some
thing was wrong, held a nail In her
beak. Grohan placed the hens head
near the board and with a gentle tap
started the nail. and the hen then
picked up another nail.
After that the hen held the nails
against the boards and Grohan drove
hem home and the coop was soon
complete.

FAMOUS SALOON sMAsHER sue.
cuMBs TO PAREsIs AFTER
LONG ILLNESS,
IN A KANSAS SANITARIUM
Through Her Efforts the Prohibition
Law Of Her Adopted
State Has Been
Strengthened.

Leavenworth, Kansas. Carrie
Nation, the Kansas saloon smash
er, died here. Paresis was the cause
of death. For several months Mrs.
Nation had been in poor health and
on Jan. 20 she entered the local sani-
tarium, in which she died, hoping
there to recover from a nervous break
down. '
1t became evident several days ago
that Mrs. Nation could not recover,
and DR.. A. l.. Suwalski, physician at
the sanitarium, informed her that the
end was near. She said nothing, but
smiled. Worry over a lawsuit which
had been brought against a lecture
bureau for alleged failure to pay for
services on the platform is said to
have caused her to break down.
Mrs. Carrie Nation was born in
Kentucky in 1916. In her early life
she married a man addicted to intoxi-
cants, which created in her an intense
aversion to the saloon. When he died
she determined to devote her life to
the suppression of the liquor traffic.
Later she moved to Kansas and mar
ried David Nation, who sympathized
with her temperance principles, but
from whom she was afterwards d.
vorced.
Mrs. Nations first saloon smashing
was done in the barroom of the Carey
hotel at Wichita, Dec. q, 1900. She
was arrested and remained in Jail sew
eral days before she was released OF
bond. On Jan. 81, 1901, armed with
her favorite weapon, a Ratchet, Mrs.
Nation made another raid in Wichita.
This time she smashed two joints.
In the next three months Mrs. Ma
ton surprised the jointists in various
Kansas towns, appearing unheralded
and leaving a trail of ruined barroom
fixtures wherever she wents Many
jointists became terrorstricken when
the militant temperance advocate ap-
peared in their neighborhood and
locked their places and fed before the
Ratchet could get into action.
Remarkably few of the saloon men
used violence in resisting Mrs. Nation,
although she was assaulted and badly
hurt while wrecking a joint at Enter
prise, Kan. BY this time Kansas vas
in a ferment.
Aroused by her spirit, the people be-
gan to demand that all the saloons
and joints be closed at once. Smash
ing parties were organized all over
the state. The saloon power was
being wrecked. AS a result bills we're
passed by the legislature which
strengthened the state prohibition law.
Thus, erratic as her life had been.
Mrs. Nation was responsible for the
greatest temperance awakening in
Kansas.
