PASSENGERS ON BIG
LINE LOSE PURSES

New York, May 27.--There were fat
pickings for two professional gamblers
who came over on the Lusitania yes
terday. One passenger reported that
in four days the gamblers picked up
S14, 600, and that one of their vic
Tins lost 81 zoo in an hour.
I've lived almost all my life in parts
of the west where gambling is wide
open." said this passenger. but new
er saw such quick action at poker.
Play usually began in the smoking
room at II o'clock at night and lasted
until 5 or in the morning. The pig
cons could evidently afford their
pluckings. and as it was none OF my
business. didn't interfere"
The steamship officers keep sharp
lookout for professional gamblers. but
occasionally an unknown chevalier or
fortune makes smashing coup.

MRS. ASTOR AS JUNO.
Causes Excitement in Eng.
lish Ballroom.

London, May Eft Mrs. Ava Viii
ling Aston desired to cause a sensa-
ton at the ball given by Lord Winter
ton with her impersonation of Juno,
she had her wish, although perhaps
not in just the way she had imagined.
The great ballroom at Claridge's
was well filled when Mrs. Aston clad
in pink gauze, with a mantle Of tur-
quoise blue and leading a live pea
cock by gilded chain, swept into the
room. She wore classic crown of sol
i'd gold, carried long gilded staff and
wore sandals which showed her bare
feet.
Peacock Good at First.
Her progress down the room was a
triumph, shared by the peacock. which
spread its tail proudly and seemed full
ly aware of the attention it was at.
tracing
Suddenly the bird became brighten.
ed at the lights or the noise, and the
sensation of the evening begun. The
peacock shrieking loudly, broke away
and ran about the room frightening
the women SO that several of them
seemed about TO faint. Lord Falconer
proved himself a hero. Assisted by
other men he captured the bird and
enclosed it in a stockade built of gilt
chairs. The bird was quiet for a few
minutes and Mrs. Aston went to dance
while Lord Falconer mounted guard.
Rush for the Fowl
Without Mrs. Aston the peacock be
came lonesome. and, despite Lord Fal
coner's attempts to restrain it, it clam
bered over the chairs and started fol
the dancing space.
"Tally-ho!" shouted some one and
the hunt was up. The bird ran among
the dancers and was kicked and tram
pied upon until he was nearly dead be
fore some of the hunters grabbed him
empty champagne case and etaoinnr

A MiSfQke---A Short Story
BY Jean Dumont

NJ. Aristide Ventre and his wife, who
ran a grocery store in large village
in the department of Sarthe, had un-
expectedly inherited the immense
amount of twenty thousand frances
and decided to celebrate the joyful
event by trip to Paris.
They had never seen anything of
the gay metropolis except short peep
on their wedding journey, but since
then many years had passed, and
these they had spent, with the excep-
ton of the few hours when they had
to sleep in their dingy little grocery
store.
They were hard working and saving
and though they were not particularly
interested in groceries, they had new
er found they had any reason to COM
plain of their lot in life.
Years ago Aristide had been a rath-
err handsome, curly haired fellow, and
his wife had been slender and beauti-
full, but now they were both stout, Sc
date and well in the fifties.
With two hundred francs, they start
ed for Paris.
When they were near the city. Nine
Ventre carefully arranged her hus-
creases in his black coat which had
been hanging in a closet since the
funeral of his father ten years ago.
1t would be too tiresome to follow
them all over for they stopped to look
at every window and never dared
| cross a street until the policeman
raised his white stick and stopped the
gigantic traffic of cabs, carriages and
automobiles. The white staff appeared
to them as powerful as the one with
which Moses made the waters Of the
Red Sea recede.
1t was a delightful evening in May
| The two tourists reached the Made
| line church, near which they soon
found a restaurant that looked very
inviting. There was nothing SNOWY
about it from the outside, so surely
the prices must be all right
| There were not many people inside
when they entered. They sat down al
a small table and waiter who looked
as dignified as a diplomat brought
them the menu.
They felt very much at ease. Never
in their lives had they been sitting
in such comfortable chairs and never
had they set eyes on whittier table
cloth or more glistening silver anc
| glasses.
Several couples came dropping in
now. Fashionable dressed youns
men helped their companions to take
off their costly silk-lined evening
cloaks.
Neither of the Old couple noticed

viii Furnish Seed Grain.

The county commissioners OF

Yesterday decided to furnish seed
grain to res. s.dents of the county.
This action is made under the
proyiso that farmers may apply
for seed grain to be seeded on
their own lands, or lands on
which they have proved up and
for which they hold their receipt.
| They find that the law is clear
| on this point, and that no grain
can be furnished for rented
lands or lands which are held un-
der the homestead act.
Application blanks will be de-
posted throughout the country
AMyenient points, where part
les desiring to obtain grain from
he county may make their de-
nand, The commissioners re-
quest that all applications be IN

The Consolidated School.

The idea of substituting one first
class graded school for existing
groups of one-room district schools
is one that finds wider and wider ac
ceptance the more it is studied, and
as practical experience verities the
correctness of the theory. The con.
solidated school is the school of to-
day, in sections where men have been
far sighted enough to discern its ad-
vantages, and enterprising enough to
overcome the difficulties to be faced.
The chief of these difficulties that
of the distance of the school from the
homes on the outskirts Of the con
solidated" district-has been met by
the expedient of employing wagons
or automobiles to call for children
living in such homes, and TO return
them at the close of school, The cost
of this service has proved insignifi-
cant in comparison with the benefits
gained.
The consolidated school wipes out
at once every assumed advantage of
the city over the country school, and
thereby removes one of the strongest
motives which have prompted the mi
grafton of families from the country
to the town-the bettering of the
educational advantages of the chill
dren. Indeed, it does more than this;
! for in and around the consolidated
school may be grouped facilities for
vocational training, particularly in
pursuits allied 20 the farm, for which
it is difficult to find sufficient room in
the cities. Add to this the superior
healthfulness, the purer democracy,
and the more wholesome social at
mosphere which surrounds the coun.
try as compared with the city school,
and the greater attractiyeness of the
former is manifest. The probability
is that ere long, when the consolidat-
ed schools shall have come to their
own" in development, city people will
covet their advantages for their chill
dren, as country folks have hereto
| fore coveted those of city schools.
Here is another influence added to
those which are 10 reverse the human
current which has been settiug from
country to city.
That the best results may be reach.
ed, and at the earliest moment, it is
important that there should be nc
division or "scatteration" of effort
by taking up movements which, while
they parallel the consolidated school,
idea. are ncn-essential as separate
propositions, and which will weaker
the resources which, for the present
are needed to make that idea effect
i've. Among these parallel movement:
is the Country Life Hail. PROPOSE
tion, now being exploited in the vi
cinity os Spokane and elsewhere. This
looks to the erection, in every con
soidated school district, of 'Coun
try Lie Hail. for use of the farmer:
in social gatherings, for meetings o
, the Grange, Farmers Unions, etc.
lan7 70 be used also as the office of {
se3aried Country Life secretary.
ltw would seem that room in th'
consolidated school building, uset
out of school hours, could be easil,
made to serve, for the present, thu
purposes of the proposed Hall, F" ant
that the building of the latter cal
