The Britisher's favorite gambling is insurance gambling. He will take out policy against anything, from the death of the king to the loss of a horse race by thoroughbred. Marine insur ance gambling by those who have no direct interest in the. safety of . ship or its cargo grew into such abuses that parliament was compelled to pass drastic act to prevent such gambling on marine accidents and losses by those not otherwise concerned.-Lon- don Globe.

Japan'e GuIf sftear,, !,

The sea currents which How along both coasts of Japan consist of q warmer current coming from the south and colder one from the north. The former is the Kuroshio. or Black cur rent, which takes its rise near the equator, being produced by the Pacific trade wind. It Is so called from it's color, which is deep Indigo in fine weather, though ashy pale oh cloudy days. The colder. currents are the Oyashio and the Okhotsk, the former of which originates 1n the vicinity of the peninsula of Kawchatka and the latter near the mouth of the Amur river- The predominance of the one or the other of these currents causes a great difference in temperature.

Tho only Thing They Ever Did

The Only Thing They Ever Did. < John Bright's powers of sarcasm were almost unrivaled. Some of his sharpest utterances were against mem bers of the nobility. When boasts had been made of the antiquity of prom inent family, that their ancestors came over with the Conquerorr his prompt reply was, T never heard that they did anything else"

CIoudo and Cold. f A clear, bright. starlight night in winter is always much colder than . cloudy one
 The little known reason for this Is that the heat of the earth is always thrown of much more quickly when there is nothing to intercept 1t. Clouds act as kind of blanket and, in pre- venting the earth's heat from escap- ing, tend to keep the atmosphere warm.

of wealth. America has become. from the physical point of view, one or the most powerful nations in the world, Nation which. If it took the pains to do SO, could build that pow CT up into one of the most formidable instruments in the world. one of the most formidable instruments of force, but which has no other idea than to use its force for ideal objects and not for selfish aggrandizement.
 Liberty, Justice, Purity.
 r'This process of Americanization is going to be a process of self-exam- ination, a process of purihcation, a process of rededication to the things which America represents andt is proud to represent. And it takes great deal more courage and stead fastness. my fellow-citizens, to rep resent ideal things than to represent anything else.
 Tt is easy to lose your temper and hard to keep it. It is easy to strike and sometimes very difncuit to refrain from striking, and I think you will agree with me that we are most jus tified in being proud of doing the things that are hard to do and not the things that are easy.
 You do not settle things quickly by taking what seems to be the quick est way to settle them. You may make the complication just that much the more, profound and mex tricabie. and, therefore. what believe America should exalt above every thing else is the sovereignty of thoughtfulness and sympathy and vis- ion as against the grosser impulses of mankind. No nation can live with out vision. and no vision will exalt a nation except the vision of real liberty and real justice and purity of conduct"

WearIns Yout Rubbera.

How to elude your wife when she in sists that you positively must wear your rubbers when you go out:
 First Tell her you positively will not do it, This will produce in her an attitude of resignation, and she will almost forgive you for not wearing them for giving her q chance to act the role of a martyr.
 Second Say that you never wore rubbers before you were married. She will then tell you that you were all ways sick; too. and will work herself into a jovial glow by thinking what good care she is taking of xou.
 Third. Wear the rubbers to keep peace in the family Judge.

|NFANT|LE PARALYSIS
REMAINS 4 MYSTERY

Milwaukee, Oct. 20.-Infantile par
alysis still remains a mysterious dis
ease to the medical profession, partic.
ularly as to it's origin and to great
degree in it's transmission. This stu
alton was made known late today at
the meeting of the American Associa-
ton for Study and Prevention of In
fantile Mortality.
DR.. Wade II. Frost, past assistant
surgeon of the United States Health
Service, Washington, D. c., cited sta
tistics of the'spread and checking OF
the disease and declared:
1--WE have made no discovery, what
soever."
Dr.. Henry NJ. Bracken, secretry OF
the Minnesota state board Of health,
asserted that isolation of known cases,
in his belief, was the only known
method of overcoming an epidemic.
AS to treatment, he said: 1--WE are at
a loss to know how to handle the dis
ease"

SCHOOL FOR

One of the reasons why Fair and
Warmer the Avery Hopwood farce
classic which Selwyn & Company will
present at the Auditorium Monday
evening, after it's year-run at the FL
tinge Theatre, New York, was rec
ord breaker for making laughs and
making money, was that Mr.. Hop.
wood had devised a strikingly dram
attic and coherent story as the basis
for his farce situations.
The first act opens on family dis
agreement between Mr.. and Mrs.
Bartlett, married two years, because
Mrs. Bartlett likes parties and Mr..
Bartlett thinks his place is the home.
There enters an ex-suitor of Mrs.
Bartlett's, who cajoles her off to the
opera with him. Mr.. and Mrs. Jack
Wheeler, meanwhile, have arrived
with the notion that they had been

the wee, small hours, the two inno-
cents can hardly keep awake, and,
having heard that drinks were great
for keeping party going, they be-
gin to mix and drink all the fear
some brews that ignorance and eel
laret can provide.
What happens by the time the wan.
derers return makes a marvellous
scene. What happens when. instead
of being penitent and abashed, the
wanderers are outraged and threaten
the extreme penalty of the law, makes
another quite as good. The explana-
lions which don't explain, and the
circumstantial evidence which tight
ems with every coil, very nearly
wreck the two households. And even
at the very happy end, Mr.. Hopwood
tips it off that husband who is real.
ly better than he should be is vir.
tually impossible to reform.

EXPERT ACCOUNTANT ON
STAND IN CELEBRATED
FARGO FRAUD CASE

Fargo, n. d., Oct 2O.-WaIter
Thompson, expert accountant, EN-.
plcyed by the defunct North Dakota
Improvement company, occupied the
entire afternoon on the witness stand
in the opening day Of the trial of B.
A. Wilson and w. H. Farmer, officers
Of the concern, charged with fraud
in the use of the mails.
Thompson detailed items in II rec
ord books, which he identified as
those of the defunct concern. The
most startling feature of his testi-
mony related to the disposition Of
receipts from purchasers Of ICON.
tracts of which 500 was to be paid
yearly by investors.
That 60 per cent of the first pay.
ment went to the solicitor, the bal.
ance being converted into the com
pany's profit and loss" fund, where
it was used for payment of dividends,
ETC., was Mr.. Thompson's definition
Of the disposition of the cash.
The government charges that a to.
tai of nearly 100000 was collected
by the company; that it's assets were
squandered, and that there never was
any effort made to earn for investors
the dividends promised to them.
1t is expected that Thompson will
continue on the stand all tomorrow,
relating details of the company's fin.
ances.
In outlining it's case today, the gov
eminent contended it would produce
witnesses who would show that the
company made false claims for profit
producing possibilities of their con.
tracts, around which prosecution cen
