NOT A GAM OF CHANCE.
The Jury Decided That Seven-up Was
Purely Scientific.

The Jury Decided That Seven-up Was
Purely Scientific.
One of Mark Twain's old time sto-
ries concerned the game of seven-up,
or old sledge. Some Kentucky boys
were arrested for playing this game
under the usual charge Of playing a
game of chance. When they were
brought before the judge their lawyer
claimed that this game was not
game of chance, but was a game of
science. The court, puzzled, asked for
a suggestion, and the lawyer declared
that if jury of six gamblers well ac-
quainted with the game in scientific
way and six deacons be impapeled
with pack of cards their de ,ision
ought to be determinative. SO the sto-
~ goes:
"There was no disputing the fairness
of the proposition. Four deacons and
the two dominies were sworn in as
the chance iurymen, and six inveter-
ate old seven-up professors were
chosen to represent the science side
Of the issue. They retired to the jury
room.
"In about two hours Deacon Peters
sent into court to borrow So from
friend. In about two hours more
Dominic Miggles sent into court to
borrow stake from friend. Dur
ing the next three or four hours the
dominic and the other deacons sent
into court for small loans.
"The rest of the story can be told
briefly. About daylight the jury came
In, and Deacon Job, the foreman, read
the following verdict:
ave, the jury in the case of the
commonwealth. of Kentucky versus
John Wheeler ct al, have carefully
considered the points of the case and
tested the merits of the several theo-
rfes advanced and do hereby unani
mously decide that the game common
ly known as old sledge, or seven-up
Is eminently game of science and
not of chance. In demonstration
whereof it is hereby and herein stated
iterated, reiterated, set forth and
made manifest that during the entire
night the "chance" men never won a
game or turned Jack, although both
feats were common and frequent to
the opposition, and furthermore In
support of this our verdict we call at
tention to the significant fact that the
''chance" men are all broke and the
science" men have got the money
It is the deliberate opinion Of this jury
that the "chance" theory concerning
seven-up is a perntrious doctrine and
calculated to innict untold suffering
and pecuniary loss upon any commu'
nifty that takes stock in it,"

SLEEPING SICKNESS.
The Grip This Dreadful Disease Take.
Upon Its Victims.

The course of the dreadful disease
sleeping sickness, is an extremely slow
one. The first stage is said to last
year or more, and the cause of che dis
ease may be in the blood hong before
any symptoms whatever present them
selves. The patient has occasional
fever; indeed, disease hitherto called
Gambia fever has recently been recog-
nized as the first stage of sleeping
sickness. 1t is said that the swelling
of the Emphatic glands OF the neck Is
characteristic early symptom. This
was known in 1903 to DR.. Winterbot-
tom, who states that slave traders,
recognizing the symptom of a fatal
disease, would not buy slaves who had
this glandular enlargement. The pa
tent feels well and strong and Is able
to go about his usual occupations.
The second stage is indicated by II
distinct change in the appearance of
the patient. His expression grows
heavy and dull; he becomes apathetio,
lies around great deal and cannot
exert himself. With the progress of
the disease these symptoms become
more marked; walking and speech be-
come difficult and finally impossible.
During the last week the sufferer lies
in state of complete coma, from
which the illness derives its name
Often during the second stage Of the
disease the brain becomes affected,
and some of the patients try to run
away into the forests or swamps,
where they die of exposure or starva,
ton. To prevent this the relatives OF
q SUFFERER frequently chain him down
until the time comes when he can no

 This paper is sold at all corners oy the newsboys and Is placed by saloonlsts where boys and ignorant men, white and black, can read 1t, with minds already in- famed by liquor-and what sort of com binatlon do you get?
 | The evil effects of this paper, from physicians viewpoint, should be placed
 before the excise commission when that is organized. Every physician, priest. min ister and parent in Birmingham should join in it's condemnation-in a request be-
 fore the commission to have 1t abolished
 from the saloons and from the streets.
 Indeed, to have it altogether suppressed. The strictest regulation should be en-
 forced in the matter of pictures, posters and literature distributed in saloons" A suggestion made by a prominent Ger
