1T cropped up in 1891 When War

business man of Marion She had
been married before and not very
successfully. Her father was against
her marrying a young editor with no
assets but struggling rural journal
He seems to have seized upon the
story as means of dissuading his
daughter from the marriage. She ig-
nared his insinuations. investigated

upon she married young Harding and
was disowned by her father.
Story Circulated Again.
When Mr.. Harding ran for lieu
tenant governor the story was circu-

means as now. 1t had no effect.
When he ran for governor attempts
were made to disinter it, but it is
said that Judson Harmon himself,

Dice Gaming an Ancient Sport.

Gambling with dice and cards has
prevailed from the earliest times. We
do not read OF gambling houses in the
classic literature of Greece, but there
can be no doubt that the vice was
very widely practiced in private
houses. In Rome, under the emper-
ors. gambling prevailed extensively.
Augustus and most Of the succeeding
sovereigns were passionately, fond of
the dice, and the Emperor Claudius
wrote a book on the subject. A
Roman would transport to a gam
bling house his whole fortune-coins,
papers and chattels-and, after losing
all would even seize the cloaks Of his
slaves to stake on a change of luck.

Wait and See.

Scientists in Switzerland are max
ing history-history that will be re-
vealed hundred and fifty years
hence. Within the next few days it
is intended to throw into the Cre-
vase and slacieI on the Crastagu11a
at Pontresina a strongly-ma brass
box containing various documents
concerning the death Of three Zurich
tourists who were killed at the spot
last winter.
The purpose is to establish the
speed of the glacier movement, and
it is calculated that the glacier will
give up the box at the termination
of its journey in about 100 to $50
years. One Of the documents In the
box asks the finder to send it at once
to the authorities Of Pontresina with
details of the find. In about hum
dred years therefore, Pontresina will
begin to get anxious.
It may be mentioned in this con-
nection that the glacier at Grindel-
valid is at present moving at a speed
of about two-fifths of an inch per
day.. ondon Daily News.

great store of jewels, gold and -

went down with over s1,000,00O ster-
ling on board in gold in 1880, but
probably the biggest disaster of this
kind WAS when the British frigate De
Brook was lost off Lewis with 2,400,-
0OC' pounds in specie and jewels, the
spoil of an intercepted Spanish
treasure fleet.
On one occasion five great plate
ships laden with treasure went down
in the same hour just east of Key
West, Old records say that three
quarters of million lie at the bot
torn at this point.

Unsigned copies of the manuscripts Will be forwarded to the judges, the signed copies remaining at the head quarters of the contest in care of The Arizona Republican, which sponsored the novel competition after An Ari- zona Citizen" had offered three prizes totaling 5000 for the best 1920 plat form for the republican party.
 Those who entered the contest de- serve congratulation upon their eff fort, for it was no easy task to collate the data, to study the needs of the na- ton and then write a 1920 platform around the great new issues. though The Republican has been assured by the contestants that they found the task an exceedingly interesting one.
 Early in the contest the libraries reported that many young men and women who had never taken out nDrary cards had done so in order 10 obtain books of references. and to ct1- tain ready access to the wealth of cur rent history literature. a knowledge of which furnished the basis no doubt for many plank the platform writers thought out as an item in the finished product As an educational feature the contest was a big factor.
 The winning platforms will be pub- lished in columns of The Republican when the judges have announced their decision The announcement probably will be made before the Republican National Convention, which will be held in May.
 Three Prizes
 There are three prizes. The first is $500, the second $500 and the third s200.
