Railing Ounder the Ban.

Atlanta, Nov. e. "A discision
which puts the ban on gambling
and all raffiling, whether at
church fairs. charity bazars or
over cigar counters has been
handed down by the Georgia
supreme court. and will proba-
bly, affect thousands of plans laid
for raising money during the
winter holidays.
Under this decision, a raffling
is declared to be nothing more
nor less than a lottery, and as
such is prohibited by Georgia
law This decision upholds the
contention of the Atlanta police
court last Christmas that rafting
was a form Of gambling. 1t
will be recalled that all public
rafting in stores was stopped
then by the police, and that many
of the people who were affected
declared that the police action
was unconstitutional and unjust.
The cast on which the supreme
court decision was based is that
of N L Garland, a Toccoa livery
man, VS.. DR.. j. f. D. Isbell. 1t
concerned the ownership of a
horse that had been ratified off
by a imam named A. Swilling.
The court decided, among other
things, that persons Winning
prizes in raffiles have no~legal>re-
dress if for any reason the prizes
are withheld from them.

ROMANCE IN MINING OF TIN
Bolivian Mountains at Present Con
tribute One-Fifth Of tho Worlds
Supply.

While Bolivia has copper and gold
and other minerals as we'll as silver
her greatest wealth is In tin. There
is as much romance in tin mining In
Bolivia as in diamond mining In
South Africa and gold mining in oul
own country. Fortunes just as large
have been made. One man who few
years ago was a prospector now has
an income from his tin mines equal
to that of the bonanza kings Of Cali
fornia or the South African mining
magnates. He has recently offered
to build a railway line which the
government itself did not feel able to
undertake.
In all the world last year there
were only 10000 tons Of tin pro-
duced, and to this quantity Bolivia
contributed one-f1fth, 80 the value OF
her tin deposits can be understood
Some of this tin is mined as high al
1900 feet. Most of the mines, how.
ever, are worked at attitudes of less
than $4,000 feet. Tin mining has thus
the distinction Of location at one OF
mans most lofty permanent dwelling
places as we'll as beneath the bed OF
the sea. This opposite extreme ia
found in the worlds oldest known tin
mines in Devonshire, England-Chris'
tian Herald.

INSPIRATION OF THE CoL0Rs
>oatizass*s Tha* the Soldier Associ-
stoo With tho Flag Have Turned
Many Battles.

Instance after instance could be
quoted from military history In which
the mere sight Of the colors has in
spired men and carried them to ulti-
mate victory when the tide Of battle
appeared to have turned against them
and all seemed lost Great generals
have themselves taken the colors in
their hands and rallied their forces to
supreme effort in the hour of trial.
Obviously it was not the mere piece
Of tattered silk that wrought these
wonders; 1t was the sentiment insep-
arably associated with the colors that
acted as the spell. i
We know, too, that the capture or
the loss Of colors has always been as
signed vital importance by tho
worlds greatest commanders, be-
cause they knew that these regimen
tai emblems typifed all that their
possessors held most dear-prestige,
honor, victory. Let any man visit
Napoleon's tomb at tho lnvalidee, and,
taking on the solemn spirit of the
hour, gaze down into the circular
shrine in which lies the huge porphyry
sarcophagus containing the body of
the great captain whose legions made
all Europe tremble. Apart from the
sarcophagus itself, what is it that
most impresses nine out of every ten
spectators? Surely the stands of COL
ors-the trophies of war-that stand
grouped round the tomb They are
the mutely eloquent witnesses to the
greatness of the man whose dust rests
in their midst.-London Telegraph.

It Isn't Veneer That Really Counts.

It's what a man is, not what he has,
which makes him a real man, after
all. Acquired powers have their fas-
cination, it must be admitted, but,
compared with genuine qualities, are
not important. Which do you wish

with great tenderness of nature that
can sympathize?

Roman Heating System.

Like many other Roman houses that
have been unearthed in England, one
recently brought to light was heated
by system called "hypocaust" The
entire basement was one big furnace,
from which f1ues assembled, built into
the walls. A wood fire was kept in
the basement, the fuel being fed in
from an outside annex, through an
arch in the wall. The house recently
dug out is in state Of excellent
preservation.
