and Gamblers in Hook

Eugene Dobbins. a Senegambian
who has been engaged in the pas
time of driving a pair of burrows
around town and up and down the
back alleys, was arrested last Sun
day by City Marshal Wieneke on a
charge of bootlegging, having been
caught in the act of doing out liQ-
uid forbidden fruit in the feed cor
raj on the corner OF Belleview ave-
nue. and West Second street He was
up before Judge wilkins Monday,
and was sentenced to penal servitude
for the period OF sixty days. where
he will have an opportunity to re-
fleet upon the error OF his ways.
Joe Comacho was also given a
sentence of sixty days In the county
hoosegow on Monday by Judge Will
kins on similar charge. This de-
linquent was also rounded up by
City Marshal Wieneke. who received
a private wireless last Sunday even
ing to the effect that a full-fledged
poker game was on In the Wickman
addition Instead of going to church
the day and night marshal decided
to investigate the rumor. They put
on their gumshoes and succeeded in
getting so close to the suspected
house that they were enabled to see
everything that was going on inside.
Several parties were deeply inter
ested In five cent ante game. and
Joe Camochio was dealing out liquor
to the players at Is cents per drink
whenever he received the high sign
to do so. which was quite often. The
players had not the least suspicion
that they were being watched. es-
pecially by officers of the law. One
of the players came out for a brief
moment to gaze at the moon. and
started to walk around the house.
Marshal Wienekc realized that he
was about to be discovered, so he
suddenly arose. pulled his trusty six
shooter on the moon gazer and
threatened to blow his head off II
he gave signal or made a noise
that would warn the poker gang"
OF the presence OF the officers. The
moon gaxer was no, the least be-
ligerent. and the officers then de-
scended upon the poker artists and
soon had them all safe behind the
bars at the city hoosegow. On the
morning after the night before Joe
Camacho appeared before Judge
wilkins and received a sentence OF
sixty days.
Nick Garcia was fined $40 for
gambling. before Judge Mahoney.
and w. u. Walker received fine
of $50 for the same offense. They
will board the fines out at the ex-
pense OF the county.

A new feature of the meeting was
the division OF the morning session
into four sections. Section one was
presided over by Miss Louise. Bur-
CESS, where round table discussion
of the Aims OF Reading" elected
much enthusiasm for that subject.

proved. II any present held any her
estes to established methods they did
not advance them.
In section two. presided over by
Mr.. Bartholomew. OF Cheraw. the
subject OF arithmetic held the
boards. This section developed
greater diversities of opinion than
did section one. Those present were
about equally divided on the merits
and demerits OF the Austrian system
OF subtraction. as they were regard
ing the time for the introduction Of
formal arithmetic in the grades.
Section three was presided over
by Principal X. ID. McClintock. of

Whitehird Heavy Tlood sufferer.

6rangeville, june Passengers on
the overland stage from Whitebird who
arrived here tonight told Of the ravag
es Of the freshet which swept through
that little town May 81. The bed Of the
whitebird creek is about so yards from
Main street, normally, but the swollen
waters in Thursday 5 storm swung the
bulk Of the waters out of the regular
course and down the center Of Main
street, whore the water was three feet
deep in places The wing of the school
building, made Of cement blocks, was
washed away. A search Of the canyon
for mile below has failed 10 disclose
any of the blocks.
In successful effort to keep the
highway bridge intact many buildings
were blown up by dynamite when il
became evident that they were going
down the creek. One man lost his
home and garden. His former garden,
a tract Of considerable length down the
canyon, is now the center of the stream.
Many citizens sustained damage by the
loss of garden tracts in this way. White
bird has suffered two disastrous fires.

one Way to Attain Them IL to Be
Moderate IN Al Things.


Sickness aud death have always
existed in the world and always will
50 long as mans physical constltu-
ton remains what it is. The body
is evidently intended to last only IA
certain time, although man himself
has unquestionably greatly shorten
ed the length Of its endurance. The
limit Of threescore years and ten
set by the psalmist depriyes US Of
many years that are our due.
Students Of longevity have estab-
lished the rule that the animal
body, including mans, should en-
dure, barring accident, five times
as long as it takes to reach full ma
iority, as marked By the complete
ossifcation Of the bones. In man
that period is about twenty years,
and man should therefore live TO
round out century. That he usn-
ally lives only half or three-quarters
as long is his fault and the fault Of
his ancestors.
A French writer once asserted
that man is as old as his arteries,
meaning that the degeneFatiye
changes Of old age were dependent
upon or measurable by the degree
of hardening Of the arteries. That
is undoubtedly true TO a certain ex-
tent, but epigrams do not solve
problems or even explain facts. II
affords slight comfort to know that
we are as old rs our arteries il we
do not know how 10 prevent them
from aging prematurcly.
Fortunately We DO know many Of
the causes Of the prcseniIe degen-
Grafton that cuts Us OH before our
time. Hcredity counts for much.
Some families afe long lived. In
others most or all Of the members
die young. That sounds hopeless,
yel we can do much BY hygienic liy-
ing to lengthcu our days even If
we come Of short lived family.
More than that, We can transmit 10
our descendants a still higher de-
gree OF stamina. The other causes
Of early aging may be summed up in
the one word excess - oycrwork,
mental or physical, worry, overcat-
ing and even oyersleeping. Modcra-
ton (not insnlIiciency) ia all things
eating, drinking, working, play.
ing, sleeping - is the secret o.
health and longevity. - Youths
