JUST GlADN ESS.

On, gladness Is a splendid thing
~ For bards to write about
When they are very sorely pressed
And subjects have run OUT
Their souls may not be soaked In JOY
To match the gentle strain,
And they may have a crouch so large
That II would block a train.
But still they write OF cheerfulness
As though 1t were a part
OF their existence and IL gushed
In torrents from their heart
They put aside their aching tooth,
The bill they cannot pay,
The rent that's always overdue.
And then they work away.
Great gobs OF gladness is their theme,
The first that comes to hand.
They tell the people they should use
This one ard only brand,
But do they use a bit themselves
! mean outside their rime-
with which TO make brighter worldf
fear they haven't time.
o gladstone gladness. you're the goods
For use in daily life,
Far better than the grim old crouch
Which leads to care and strifei
And II the poet does not feel
The impulse OF his song
You'll find that the advice 10 good
Enough TO take along. =.

A WANING INDUSTRY.

Apparently the lynching industry is
on the wane. According to statistics
lathered by the China Tribune there
We're fewer lynchinrs in 1912 than in
any previous year since 1884. The
lynchings Of 1912 We're localized in a
larger measure than usual, that is to
say most of them occurred in states
%, which lawlessness OF this sort is
least uurebuked by public sentiment.
OF the 81 cases reported 50 occurred in
the seven states Of Alabama. Georgia,
Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi
Louisiana and Tennessee. Governor
EIease Of South Carolina has repeat
ed.y proclaimed himself an advocate o.
mob violence, and in the other states
named there is at least a strong mi
uoIity sentiment which tolerates lynch
law as eNpedieut in dealing with Ger.
tain classes Of crimes. In these states

drawn on his funds at home for lOO,OOO
more. With this acquisition he won
and lost considerable. for he played
high Week after week passed while
he was seen constantly al the gaming
table
Meanwhile the time for his return
and his wedding came round, ana he
did not appear To claim his bride, lie
wrote her that he would be unayoid'
ably detained Not having the heart 70
give the real reason. he said that he
was III and that his doctor had advised
his remaining In the genial climate OF
the Riviera till spring had appeared In
Russia. In order that his sweetheart
might not know that he was at Monte
Carlo and suspect the true cause or
his lingering abroad. he sent his letters
to Nice for mailing.
Sonia was naturally very much trou-
bled. Had she any one to attend her
she would have gone ut once to Nice.
Ii would not be considered proper for
her to go alone TO join her lover. so
for awhile she waited. hoping that his
health would improve and his doctor
would consent to his return TO Russia.
Then one day she heard that Peter
had been making heavy drafts on his
funds at home and had mortgaged his
estate. She delayed no longer, but
started at once for the Riviera. These
drafts had caused her to suspect that
her lover had been caught In the mael-
strom OF Monte Carlo. and she deter
mined at starting that II she did not
find him at Nice she would go at once
to the gambling resort.
; One night Orloff staggered into the
pavilion with so francs (Sl0l in his
pocket, the last Of all he possessed in

hours. In which he had won and lost.
he found himself with two gold ma
pOleons, these being the original SO
with which he had sat down in the
beginning of the evening. He placed
them on n square which, If 1t won,
would bring him in five times his stake;
then, placing his elbows on the table
and shading his face with his hands, he
waited the loss Of his last coins.
He won. Without changing his posi-
ton he left his winnings (S5O) on the
same place and won again $3.50. A
third time lie won. and n fourth. He
showed no excitement. sitting perfect
ly still, his hands covering his face,
so that IL was not plainly visible
When he had four times left his stake
and his winnings on the same square
and won every time the fact attracted
the attention OF every one at the table.
AT the fifth winning all present left

pile before him with intense interest.
When he had won six times In sue.

to take up his winnings, for the bank
would not accept the risk another

AT this juncture lady appeared AT
the main entrance to the room and hur-
rled to the table. She approached il on
the opposite side to which Orloff was
sitting and, hurrying around laid a
hand on his shoulder.

Peter Orlotf was a young Russian
who inherited an estate and 100000
rubles. into the possession OF which
he entered when he was twenty one
years old. lie concluded before set
Ting down on the estate 10 take 1900
rubes and visit Rome, Berlin. Paris
and other continental cities. So as soon
as he had arranged his affairs for his
absence he started for Berlin, from
/ whence he went TO Rome then Naples,
where he sailed for Genoa, and short
time after his arrival nj that port was
in the attractive winter resort, Nice.
| He had left behind him n fiancee,
/ Sonia, the daughter of a neighbor. and
! long before the time set for his return
he felt inclined TO go home. But his be-
| trothed was spending some time In st.
/ Petersburg, and if he went home he
would find her absent. He felt that II
would be better 10 remain away for the
appointed term, at the end of which
the wedding was TO take place. There
fore firing of Nice. he concluded 10 run
down to Monte Carlo
On the evening of his arrival he
dined, then sauntered over to the pa
viion where gambling was going on.
At that hour but few persons were
playing, and there was little TO interest
him. He felt bored. He had mind to
go back TO Russia. He would find Sonia
at st. Petersburg and might enjoy him
self there with her far better than
spending his time alone In foreign
lands. He came to resolution 10 start
on his return trip the next morning.
This would give him but one evening
TO get away with.
He asked one Of the crOupiers at the
gambling table at what hour the play
would be in full swing and was told ii
would not be for another hour. To
pass the interval ne concluded 10 bet a
few francs He covered several of the
numbers and won on two and lost on
one. He repeated the bets and again
won more than he lost. When he had
gained on his third bet he began Ia be
interested.
At 10 o'clock he had quite pile of
winnings before him. He looked up
that while he had been playing the
throng had been gathering So intent
had he been on the game that he had
not noticed their coming He counted
his winnings and found enough to pay
his expenses to ST Petersburg and keep
hion 20
turn to his home and the wedding.
Then II occurred to him that it would
be nice to win enough more to buy
present to take with him for Sonia.
He would go by way of Paris and
doubtless see many pretty things there
from which he might select something
to please his betrothed He laid 10
francs on the table and won. Then he
lost. After that he won quite IA good
deal, when he struck bad luck and lost
nearly every bet he made. At o'clock
I'm the morning he had lost all the
ready money he had with him
The next morning instead OF starting
for home he drew ! 900 francs on his
letter of credit and went to the gam
bling pavilion To reconp. He played
all day and when evening came had
won back his losses 10 within 20 francs
Then another streak Of bad luck struck
him, and by midnight he had lost the
1000 francs he had drawn In the morn
ing.

Did il ever occur to you that you
could prepare an ample and delicious
repast Cor dinner) for four persons at a
total cost of 81, and still have sufficient
left for a lunch at night?
From the many letters that have been
received from interested housewives in
regard to the market basket feature of
The Georgian of last Friday, in which
there was a goodly array of bargains
and suggestions as to what to have
for Sunday dinner, the problem of the
high. cost of living has apparently been
solved.
The following letter and menu from a
thrifty housewife shows what can be
done by one who is on the alert for
the things that are good and which will
reduce the high cost of living:
The Market Basket, care The
Georgian.
Gentlemen: No doubt you
will find il of interest to know
the saving and convenience of
your Market Basket scheme
which you published last Fri
