SAYS UNCLE CIV

He who regards life as a roulette
wheel is bound to go broke. It's a
game of skill rather than a game of
chance and the only man who winds
up to the good is the fellow who
doesn't take chances. The only man
who makes money out of gambling is
the one who doesn't gamble-who
runs the game for the rake off or de-
ponds upon a marked deck.
The attainment of success is pro-
cess of eliminating chances. The
blind throw for fortune may win, but
it seldom does Good luck. is a mas
uuerader. It's real name is skill, and
it consists in knowing what to do and
when and why.
The lucky merchant is the one who
learns the demand of his trade and
meets it. The lucky f1nancier is the
one who knows an investment when
he sees it, and what to do with it.
The goddess of chance has seemingly
directed the footsteps of many a
prospector, but the men who make
money out of gold mines are those
who develop them in accordance with
well-esta blished business principles,
after they are found.
The Spectator pure and simple
never lasts long. He wastes his sub
stance upon too many impossioiiltles.
Sometimes your speculative choice
may coincide with what would nave
been your business judgment had you
exercised it, and then you win. But
count UP your failures and successes
and You'll find that if you are of
strictly speculative turn you have
nine failures to one success, and the
one success was due to the el1n1na-
ton of chance rather than to trust
ing it.
Our whole business system is based
upon this principle. All real success
is founded upon it. No matter what
your business employment may be
you rise or fall as you have made
certain of your ground.
The merchant who trusts to chance
to sell goods soon has need of the
referee in bankruptcy. The clerk who
trusts to chance to rise quickly makes
the acquaintance of the blue envelope.

some ANTIQUE Mosquitoes.

If the dispatches from Washington
are true, the government has a semi
official message from the world of co.
600, 900 years ago. Assistant Secretary
of State Adee received curious pre-
historic deposit from Brazil, and, in
chemically Analysing it. found two
minute larvae inside the rock He was
so astounded that he sent the en-
bryonic animals to the Agricultural De-
partnent. Under scientific development
the larvae produced two magnificent
mosquitoes. 1t is too bad that this was
not wholly covered by established Off
cial investigation, for Mr.. Adee, after
ALL is not a government chemist,
though chemical expert. However,
the authority covering the case seems
good, and it will go to strengthen the
assertions made by workers in stone
happen, in splitting the living rock, on
toads or frogs living in a state of sus-
pended animation.
There have been several such dis
coveries in Indiana-a most notable one
fifteen years ago in the stone quarries
near Logansport. 1t was true that the
toad in this case, as in some others
was shown, but 1t looked like any other
toad. Though in some instances the
little Theoretically sealed cells in which
such living things have been held for
nobody knows how long, have been
shown, the stories have been generally
discredited, or It has been insisted that
there was some mistake.
The Smithsonian Institution has
however, taken up the investigation of
the prehistoric mosquitoes. Its experts
declare that the rock in which thew
were found is not less than 6O,OOO,OO0
years old, and it possibly may have
been formed 200 O0O, 900 years ago. IF
these mosquitoes and the frogs or
toads caught in the formation process
of stone now far underlying the sur
face of the earth are finally accepted
we have far more eloquent message
from the ages of the earth's formation
than is found in the mute tracery of
ferns and fishes in the strata. It is
declared that the mosquitoes that de-
veloped brought with them the song
that we know. They were yellow
fever mosquitoes, lust like the ones
found In Central America today" We
have known that the mosquito was
very old, for in Egyptian excavations
they have been found in honey of four
thousand years ago. = indianapolis

the times now to those in 185S-lS6O'
writes a North Topeka correspondent
It am glad that he is the only one l
have read of in thi5 campaign who IS
making such assertions. If he had been
old enough at that time to have passed
through or participated in the events
that were then in the making he would
never have made any such comparison.
At that time we were on the verge CT
a great Civil war. The whole country
was in an uproar; the South against
the North; neighbor against neighbor;
father against son; and brother against
brother"
This correspondent wonders If Colonel
Roosevelt is trying to work up similar
conditions today to those that then
prevailed. And he can see no reason
for surprise at Mr.. Roosevelt's refusal
to attend the meetings in the interests
of universal peace in which President
Taft was glad to play an important
part

the writer of this communication, "as
saying that the people don't understand
his position on the main questions OF

to be the old Populist howl of Let the
People rule through the initiative, the
referendum and the recall. He insists
that conditions are the same now as
they were in the days of Lincoln, and
he claims to be championing the prin-
ciples of Lincoln. But it seems to me
that the recall would have been
