To the Editor OF the Evening Star.
Store-keepers should exhibit a little
judgment resarding the danger to lit
tie children in some of the candy which
they sell.
There is a little glass bottle. similar
TO a pill bottle, containing candy, and
the corks are put in SO tight that it is
impossible to get them out.
I saw a girl about z years old who
had broken a bottle open with her
teeth, causing her mouth to bleed. And
I think that storekeepers ought to
abolish them, as someone is bound to
get a stomac1ful of glass sooner or
later. Mothers and fathers ought to
keep a lookout for their children.

MANIPULATE OF PUBLIC CONTRACTS.

TT INDICTMENT and conviction in a case like that of Louis Kuehnle,
of Atlantic City, whether sustained by the upper courts or
not, cannot fail TO have a wholesome effect upon public boards
that have the power to award contracts. 1t is in public knowledge
that the act charged against Kuehnle has been common enough in
this State and that the private interests of many officials have been
the motive of the awards of their contracts. Kuehn1e is a political
partisan leader and therefore a target for his enemies. and an
eisor drawn jury afforded the opportunity to attack him in any
vulnerable spot, If he had been less prominent and aggressive
in politics probably his act would have been regarded as one of a
class Of too general ofeuses that have been almost uniformly dis.
regarded or condoned.

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


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 the dis
ease may be in the blood long 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 fatal
disease, would not buy slaves who had

tient feels well and strong and is able
to go about his usual occupations.
The second stage Is indicated by q
distinct change In the appearance OF
the patient. His expression grows
heavy and dull; he becomes apathetic.
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 starya-
ton. To prevent this the relatives of
a sufferer frequently chain him down
j until the time comes when he can no
i longer move.-McClure's Magazine.

NOT 4 GAME or CHANCE.
The jury Decided Tbst s.vsn.up Was
Purely Scientific.


One OF Mark Twain's old time sto-
r'es concerned the game Of seven-up,
or old sledge. Some Kentucky bows
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 game Of
science. The court, puzzled. asked for
suggestion, and the lawyer declared
that ii jury of six gamblers well &C.
quainted with the game in scientific
way and six deacons be impaneled
with pack of cards their decision
ought to be determinative. So the sto-
ry goes:
"There was no disputing the fairness
Of the proposition. Four deacons and
the two dominies were sworn in as
the chance jurymen, and six inveter-
ate old seven-up professors were
chosen to represent the science side
of the issue. They retired to the jury
room.

sent into court to borrow So from a
| friend In about two hours more
Dominic Miggles sent into court to
borrow a 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
1--WE. 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
ries advanced and do hereby unani

not of chance In demonstration
whereof it is hereby and herein stated

support of this our verdict we call at

that the "chance" theory concerning

calculated to inflict untold SUFFERING

Mrs. Hamilton could never forget the
