SQuelching a Gambler

took $4,000 out Of me at cards this
morning"
II was looking ovah the game, suh."
II think he Is a backlog"
zone Of the worst He Is a disgrace
to his calling. I observed his manipu-
lations of the cya'ds. and l must con-
fess that they were such as no respect
able gambler would use"
"My name is Hartleigh. sir. / am
on my way to New Orleans to be mar
ried. I shall leave the boat at the first
stop and return to my home in Mem
phis. The money the man took from
me was intended t start a home. I
must now break my engagement"
II would not do that, suh." replied
the colonel, thoughtfully feeling his
chin. Then, pulling a roll Of bills from
his pocket. he added: ASK him TO- yo'
revenge. sub. l will observe the game
and will engage that he plays faiah."
Hartleigh accepted the offer, and
during the afternoon he and the gam
bier took possession of a table and
were soon absorbed in a game. Pres
emily Colonel Sinclair approached the
table and stood opposite the latter.
looking down upon him with a cold
stare. That look the gambler must
have interpreted as an order not only
to play fair, but to zee to 1t that his
victim won back the money he had
lost in the morning. At any rate, he
made very large bets on very small
hands, by which he lost money stead
lily, and did not seem a bit reluctant
at seeing his funds passing into Hart
leigh's possession.
All the while Colonel Sinclair stood
smoking a cigar, posing himself first
on n leg, then on the other. After
his first look at the gambler he seemed
to be only interested in the game, but
occasionally the gambler would dart
a glance up at his im~perturbable u
tenance and after doing so would make
another big bet on a small hand.
Finally young Hartleigh counted the
pile of bills and coin before him,
showed over a small sum and said:
Were quits. I'm even and with
draw from the game"
The gambler cast a timid glance at
the cGonel as If for instruction. then
put the amount returned in his pocket.
Hartleigh and the colonel strolled out
on to the guard. When they were I'M
observed Hartleigh seized his b~enefac-
tors hand.
Colonel" he said, you must attend
my wedding"
II shall be very happy, sub, to at
tend the ceremony. l live In New Or
leans"
Then Hartleigh returned the money
advanced as a stake and the two went
to the little box in the bow and, stand
ing before it, Hartleigh raised a glass
and said:
"My gratitude. colonel"
Don't mention It, suh."

laces 70 Be Used,

Nets, first Of all, in the all over laces
will be in great demand for dresses
and accessories for the smartest of
spring and summer frocks. The nets
Of great modish prominence are the
fllets. Those samples already received
from foreign markets are supplement-
ed by those Of domestic manufacture,
which compare very favorably with
the foreign product. For instance, In
those which duplicate the weave of
Brussels nets the imitation is perfect.
In those where pearled edges are de-
sirable factors even these are accom-
plished.
Combinations Of chantilly and fllet
are to be featured. These will be es-
pecially desired in white. ecru and in
black. Black applique laces will be in
vogue.

Religious


Husuenot Churches and the War.
Frances Huguenot churches and their
dire need because of war conditions
form a theme that is nov being pre-
scented to the churches Of this country
through the medium OF an official dele
gate. 1t is hoped to arouse general In
terest on behalf Of the 450 churches
and congregations OF the reformed
faith in France. The Episcopal board
Of missions is appealing for aid to make
up the falling Oh In gifts, and suggests
that every communicate give one days
pay. The plan is bound to attract at
tention because Of its originality, in
addition to the worthiness Of the OBJ
ject sought.
"Huguenot France and the War" was
the title Of an interesting lecture deliv-
cred recently in New York. Bishop
Courtney opened the session with
prayer. and the Rev. DR.. Jowett Of the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church act
ed as chairman and introduced the
speaker, the Rev. Stuart L. Roussel OF
Paris, who recently arrived In this
country as the delegate Of the French
Reformed Evangelical church, which
has been sorely struck by the present
war.
This is the old Huguenot church Of
France, which, after passing through
nearly two centuries of persecution,
was established by Napoleon as one Of
the state churches Of France. A few
years ago it was disestablished by the
government It the same time as the
Catholic and Jewish churches, and gov
eminent support was withdrawn, since
which time 1t has taken a pride in pro-
viding for its own needs and also for
extensive missionary operations both
In France and In the French colonies.
The war, however, has so affected
French finances that the very exist
ence of many Of the 45O churches and
congregations of the Reformed Evan
gelical Church of France is ~endanger-
ed. and an emergency appeal is being
made through MIR. Roussel to the
churches in this country.
Mr.. Roussel gave a graphic descrip-
ton of his experiences during the bonn
bardment Of Rheims and the life I'M
d%erground there in the champagne Gel
lars, which extend for many miles.
like the old Roman catacombs. The
Evangelical Reformed church and par
sonage at Rheims were utterly destroy
ed. The fact that this church has a
congregation Of over 1000 members
came as q surprise to the audience,
some of whom did not know Of the
existence even of a strong Protestant
church In France.
Mr.. Roussel will visit many of the
cities of the United States and would
be glad to heal from ministers or con-
gregations DESTROYS Of opening their
churches to give him an opportunity Of
presenting his appeal. His address is

Europe, Asia, Africa-A Game.

This is a game which will require
quick thought and provoke many for

and. unexpectedly throwing it at an

counting ten as rapidly as possible.
The person at whom the handkerchief
is thrown must name some person or

for boy scouts and is played as fol-

shore marked Off, and the man who
hid 1t leaves a map with clews for

have to row from a certain distance

the treasure. They should be careful
to leave no foot tracks. ETC., near the
reasure because then the patrols that
follow them will easily find it. The
map and treasure are to be hidden
afresh for the next patrol-when they
have been found. The patrol which
returns to the starting place with the
treasure In the shortest time wins.
This can be played on the river. the
patrols having to row across the river

NEW TAILORED SUITS.
Spring Always Demands Its Quota Of
Severe Garments.


With the advent of spring the demand
for tailored and semitailored suits In
creases. From twenty-five to twenty
six inches In length are the suit coats,
but not invariably so. for the bolero
and Elton effects have to be reckoned
with, and they are to be quite al i'm
portant feature this spring.
While the Norfolk suit is growing In
popularity, 1t Is not to be confused
with the Norfolk suit Of other days,
for the skirt portion Of this new suit
has the popular fare SO much in de-
mand. and as for pockets. the new suit
fairly bristles with them. In nearly
every case there are at least four, two
above the belt and two below. The
Norfolk is sure to be popular. for there
are few other styles that are rs trig
and smart for hard wear as Is this
tailored suit.
The coat cut In two portions is not
only charming, but sure to be becom-
ing to most figures. The lower part,
needless to say. Is cut with a decided
fare, and this is applied to the upper
and in most cases the fitted upper part
at a line that varies.

LAUNCHING A VESSEL.
A Matter Of Mathematics, With . Vast
Amount Of Calculation.

Amount OF CALCULATION.
The launching of a vessel is prima-
rily a matter Of mathematics. In a
ship of immense size it calls for a vast
amount Of calculation before the first
step is taken In the actual work.
In the first place, the specific gravity
of the vessel must be figured out SO as
to allow for the various strains to
which the hull is subjected on its slant
ing journey into the water, with its
sudden plunge as the bow drops from
the ways.
An enormous amount Of data must
be collected to fix this center of grav-
ity. The weight Of all the material
that has gone into the vessel up to
the time of the launching. the distri-
button Of this weight, the weight of
chains and anchors and other material
placed on board preparatory to the
launch must all be considered.
When the center of gravity Is fixed
the successful shipbuilder knows just
how to build his launching ways and
just where to strengthen them. He
knows then by a little calculation how
long each part Of the vessel will be
subjected 70 certain strains and how
best to prepare for them. He can fig
ure almost to the second. how long
the ship will be in sliding into the wa
ter.-Exchange.

"THEN the stagecoach and the
WV steamboat passed out as the
ordinary means of travel a
certain social status passed
out with them. Both these methods Of
transportation fostered something that
no longer exists-the society of travel.
A number of persons would start on a
journey In a ~stagecoach. and the fact
that they were fellow travellers made
them at once acquaintances, often
friends and In certain instances lovers.
As to the steamboat, while the greater
number on n of them prevented this
automatic %sociability, it was a unique
institution.
In the front part of the main saloon
Of a Mississippi steamboat was n little
boxlike structure, in which liquors
were served. Passing aft, one would
see numerous tables, some of which
were occupied by card players with
stacks Of chips or coins before them.
At mealtimes these tables were placed
together, forming one long table, and
shortly before a meal was announced
male passengers would line them wait
ing to secure seats. In the stern Of
the boat was the ladies' cabin. When
dinner vas ready the captain went
into this cabin, bowed tremendously
to the ladies', offered his arm to one,
escorted her to a seat at the table, fol-
lowed by the other ladies' and the men
travelling with them. When they were
seated a colored man swung n huge
brass bell, and the first stroke Of the
clapper was a signal for every man
who had been waiting to plunge into a
seat.
One day q gentleman in a ~variegated
waistcoat worn by men Of that day
and a long skirted coat with a large
rolling velvet collar stood among the
men waiting for the signal to be seat
ed. A moment before it came he turn
ed and stepped into his stateroom to
leave his hat there. As he emerged
the bell rang. and a man dropped into
his seat. The act was a fragrant
breach of courtesy. for the gentleman
had been waiting some time behind
the chair, and the other must certainly
have been aware of the fact.
Conscious of some n standing be-
hind him. the seat stealer turned and
looked up into a severe countenance
bending owe him. But there was
something more severe than the face
a glittering bowie knife, whose blade
was pointed down at a small bald spot
on top Of the interloper's head. The
fellow dlved under the table and eff
fected an exit on the other side.
After dinner a young man about
twenty-one years of age approached
the man who had poised the bowie
knife and said:
Colonel Sinclair. I believer"
AT yo' service, suh."
II was especially gratified at your
recovery of your seat ut table. The
man who proposed to dispossess you

AFTERNOON DRESSES.
Materials Must Have More Body Than
Formerly.

For afternoon dresses materials with
a little more body than we have used
in a few years are selected. OF such
quality are the new fine taffetas. fables
and corded silks, and wholly adequate
are they to give the bouffant effect
that oil are demanding.
With this effect Of the skirts come
the tight fitting bodices, with their
narrow shoulders and set-in sleeves.
This bodice effect is trying to the ma
jority Of figures, but there is hardly a
doubt that some variation will result
that will make 1t more becoming or
that constantly viewing this style on
all sides will in the end win us over
to its possible charms.

A Few Don'ts.

a Few Don'ts.
Don't forget that children are more
seriously affected by impure air than
grown people.
Don't let the nursery be used as a
laundry o a larder. Food should new
er be kept in 1t.
Don't forget that lowered vitality
makes children more liable to catch
any infectious disease.
Don't say don't to your little one.
Remember to tell the child what he Is
to do. not what he is not to do.
Don't forget that little children are
easily depressed by gloomy surround
ings, and this lowers their vitality.
Don't forget that you sometimes do
harm to your children by doing too
much for them. There are things that
1t is far better TO teach the children
to do for themselves.
Don't shake or scold n child who
wakes up and cries out in the night.
Often night terrors are a purely nerv-
Gus affection and any harshness only
makes matters worse.
Don't think that money is wasted in
buying pretty paper and bright colored
paint for the decorations Of the ur-
sery. Money spent on Frightening life
at its opening will bear good interest
In health and happiness.
Don't think hat any room In the
house will do for the nursery. rs 'it's
only for the children" The sunniest.
most airy and most cheerful room in
the house should be given to the chill
dren If you want them to be healthy.
