BET LAST CENT ON ROULETTE
Distress Financed by Lucky
Turn Of Wheel.

A San Francisco real estate firm has
how he replenished his purse by risk
ing his last coin at roulette, when
his appeals home for money were
fruitless on account of conditions fol-
lowing the breaking out Of hostilities
In Europe He was in Ostend when
the actual fighting began, and had
| been travelling in Europe for some
months. For obvious reasons his
name is withheld The letter says,
in part:
I'VE had made Ostend our obiec-
tive point, considering it the most
favorable point for awaiting develop
ments. The morning after our arrival
there a complete paralysis OF the
financial situation established itself,
nothing available had any circulating
value; checks, letters Of credit. the
American Express company or travel
ers checks, or even Belgian paper
money, all shared the same fate. That
evening our limited capital consisted
of eight francs In my pocket. or
course, | had depended upon my let
tiers Of credit.
1--WE went in silence walking down
the ocean shore. Both myself and
wife wondered where we would go
next, and what would become OF US,
when we came upon a brilliantly
lighted kursaal. 1t occurred to US we
might correct our fortune by stalking
1t all upon the roulette wheel. AT
the most it couldn't render our lot
any worse than 1t was To our hor-
ror, however, the inscription, five
francs entree,' confronted our eyes.
That would leave us but three francs
in our pockets. Once again the situa-
ton was saved by my wife From
the bottom of her hand satchel she
produced tive-franc piece, which she
had laid away during the fat years,
looking forward to contingencies. SO
in we marched and, after having got
on to the arithmetic of the gambling
table, we selected No. 2S to decide our
fate.
The wheel whirled round and
round, and 1t became black before our
eyes, but in our ears II sounded like
poetry, and when it stopped | hadn't
hands enough to gather the money.
My number had won, and they paid me
80 for /. Remembering 1t was
easier to make money than to keep
It,, we proved ourselves worthy Of the
honor by withdrawing from the ring,
and sought our exit, feeling once again
we were able to take care of our
selves for a day or two"

STUDY OF BABYGL0GY
FEW POINTS CONCERNING THE
MONARCH OF THE HOUSE.
Writer Wisely Remarks That II 10
Well, Considering Their Potential
tiles, That They Come Only
in Small Sizes.

Babyology is very fascinating
study, so absorbing, in fact, that it
is better for beAnner to study
some one else's baby Then the sub
ject can be dropped-in a soft place,
of course-at any time. Undertaking
to study her own baby, the student
may have so much knowledge thrust
upon her that her brain reels and her
back aches. yet she cannot play hooky
without mourning the penalties of the
truant law
A male baby may grow up to be a
philosopher and gentleman, but in
his earlier years he is as unreason-
ing and ill.tempered as a hornet. He
will howl without provocation and
kick his own mother in the face while
she is trying to pull pin out of his
leg.
A girl baby always has a chance to
become a sweet, lovable, useful wom-
an; but If she is the only baby, has
.oolshly fond parents, and is unpro-
tected from grandmotherly influences,
the chance is only one in million.
A man hates to play second fiddle to
anything and most of all does he rebel
at taking a back seat in his own
home: but when baby comes he soon
learns to accept an uncushioned pew
In the extreme rear and to be grateful
for that.
While bankers will advise Gus
toner who can afford it to put some of
his money in Babies, Ltd" they will
warn him that baby is not an adver-
tselnent, but q speculaton--you can
never tell how it will turn out.
Luckily babies come in small sizes
only. If they were manufactured in
siX.foot lengths, with proportionate
increase in their potentialities for cor
nering affections, yocalizing, and 9th
erwise upsettng the even tenor of a
household, the legal limit would have
TO be fixed at one baby per township.
And that would be carrying the doc
trine, Fewer babies and better ones,
too far; for sad will be the day when
the Mothers club cannot borrow a
live model to illustrate Miss Permelia

Preacher Seeks Damages.

Oshkosh.-The Rev. Frederick G.
Codd, pastor of the Baptist church,
Winneconne, has instituted a suit for
$4,000 against F. ]. Smith, of the
same place, for the alleged killing of
Frederick A. Codd, 8 years old, by Vir-
gil Smith at Wineconne, May u,
1914. He asks for $4,000 damages for
the death of his son, on the ground
that fatality was the result of care
less, negligent and wilful conduct of
Virgil Smith and the careless, negli-
gent and wilful conduct of his father
At the inquest held shortly after the
tragedy, the coroner's jury returned a
verdict to the effect that young Codd
came to his death by gunshot wounds
from rifle in the hands of Virgil
Smith.

Peril Of Cosmetics.

There Is another war disaster, but
one we can readily endure, and that
Is the loss of the drug and cosmetic
imports, says the Columbus (OD Jour
nal Many Of the most important
drugs come from Europe, and the sup

ally, while cosmetic imports will al
most disappear from the market.
There are two things that we can wei!
spare. We use too much drugs, and
as for the cosmetics he women are
beautiful enough without them. 1t
would doubtless be matter OF public
policy IL the women were prohibited
from making themselves any more
beautiful than they are. II cosmetics
helped them to do this, of which there

the tariff were made so high as TO
be prohibitory. But there will be no
need Of this, since cosmetics, as rule
make women less attractive and con
sequently less harmful to men.
Beauty ought to be moral influence,
but that depends on the kind OF per
