And Then Luck Turned


 Men who like to gamble feel the urge under all circumstances and this holds good of prisoners in the county jail, who now and then beguile their spare moments with hand or two of poker when opportunity offers.
 Among the prisoners last week were half a dozen men who had been given 20 days each on charges of participating in a gambling game. In addition, most of them faced the prospect of raising fines of $500 each or serving more time.
 One of the gamblers had proved luckier than usual during his con finement, and the last few days of his sentence found him heavy winner all things considered. He was con- graduating himself on raising al most enough money to pay his fine when a new prisoner was admitted, sent to jail because he could not pay a fine also assessed for gambling. It wasn't long before the newcomer and the winner were engaged in a | quiet game in the bull pen, and the 1 battle waged hot. When the smoke | cleared away the stranger had won | the others roll. He paid his fine and received his liberty. leaving the one time lucky one the dreary hope of be- l ing able to borrow the $500 without | leaving jail

 His wife eyed the box suspiciously. for she knew of his intended pur- chase 'Is this the dynamite?' she inquired, pointing at the package at her feet.
 What if it is?" responded the min ing man evasiVely. Tt won't do any damage there unless it explodes."
 Henry" exclaimed the wife sharp ly, If you think I'm going to ride 40 miles with dynamite under my feet you've mistaken. Put that box in the back of the car at once.'

Little Stories
 of the Town

At an auction house the other day a boys heavy mackinaw was offered for sale. A bid of 25 cents was made and there it stopped. While the auc- tioneer was pleading against the sac rifice a boy in the rear of the crowd was taking an invetory of his wealth. He was 8 newsboy, not one of the carriers, but boy who bought pa pers and sold them. He was coatiess and shoeless and the day was chilly.
 As he hurriedly counted his money he looked longingly at the mackinaw in the hands of the auctioneer. Fi nally he called in a high childish treble, "45 cents."
 A cautious offer of 30 cents or my other sum in excess of the original bid probably would have taken the coat. But the boy was risking noth ing. He was determined to over whelm all prospective bidders and show then the hopelessness of a con flict with him. So he threw his en- tire capital with the added profits of the day into the enterprise.
 This story would have had hap pier ending if some kind hearted by stander had given him a pair of shoes, for when he was arrayed in the mackinaw his barefootedness be- came more striking than ever.

Conscience Wasn't Working

Richard and Charles are brothers who live in the Wentworth district. and of course the rain yesterday did not keep them from trying out their new bicycle, a Christmas gift, at the first lull in the drizzle. The only difficulty was that mother had made them promise not to get off the pave ment, for when they returned home their shoes were wet and muddy.
 Charles said his mother sternly. T don't see how your conscience will permit you to go into the mud when you had promised me you wouldn' { get your shoes muddy"
 "Wen.' said Charles thoughtfully, T guess my conscience isn't working very well today, mother.

A Letter From the Geberts.
liberia. Ala.. Julv z.


Dear Union Readers:
At the time of this writing we have
been here three months with the long
ing to remain growing stronger day
by day.
On June Is party of US from town
took a motor boat trip to the gulf.
The weather was ideal, which made
the trip very pleasant. We left the
landing at 2:15 and arrived on the
shore of the deep water at 4:3O. We
anchored out in the bay, for it is i'm
possible to ride the gulf in small
boat, and the women folks set to
work at once preparing lunch while
the men tried their hand at net fish,
ing, but the bay was too rough, which
spoiled their luck. It is a wonderful
sight to walk the beach and watch the
roaring breakers from six to ten feet
high roll out on the shore and wash
up pretty shells. After supper we
started on turtle hunt, z of US men
folks; we walked the sandy moonlit
beach for hours in hopes of finding a
turtle or even nest of eggs, but
found neither. Another party of four
had caught sea monster that
weighed 400 pounds and the nest con-
tanned 119 eggs. They captured her
while she was patting her nest down
after depositing her eggs. The eggs
the size of hens, are used for food
and the monster makes a delicious
turtle soup, so they say. We made a
round trip of just IL miles and pulled
into camp at 2 a. m. That night we
slept on the bare sand under the blue
sky and let the roaring waves lull us
to sleep.
We have lived through a dry spell
with no rain from the 9Th to the 29th
of June, "a days, with the thermome.
ter roamed 100 degrees almost every
day. 1t set back some of the crops
but didn't even faze the sweet pota.

rains saved 80 per cent of the crops
here.

figs and tame grapes are through bear.

If Bill Passes Secretary of the Treasury Can Handle the Ten Billion Loan as
 He PIeaseS
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-Herald
 300 Davidson Building

Washington, August 3.-(Special) g. finance committee of the Senate, has reported fayorably the administra- tion's bill under which Secretary of the Treasury Mellon would be given authority to take any action he might desire in the matter of the S1o,OO0 900, 900 which European countries owe the United States.
 According to Senator Underwood of Alabama, democratic leader, the bill would give MT. Mellon more power than Congress should give any one man. Senator Harris of Georgia holds that MT. Mellon should give Congress some idea as to how he would proceed. And yet Mir Mellon says that In order to do the work satisfactorily, and to keep the finances of the world balanced, he must have carte blanche, license to proceed without string"
 There is every reason to believe that Congress will witness a very pretty fight before this bill Is finally disposed of. The Washington Times anu other hearst organs, which seem deeply embittered against England declare the Penrose measure "out- rageous," and insists that whereas the administration has power to kill the bill, the bill will surely kill the administration if it does not take ad- vantage of it's opportunity first to kill.
 Rather Extravagant
 While this position is regarded as rather extravagant, it will succeed in arraying against the bill the senators who stand with Ireland as against England, and the republican person. nel of the so-called agrarian bloc This united force, sustaining the democratic column led by Senator Underwood, will jeopardize the bill beyond all question.
 It is recognized by the conserva- tive element of Congress that the most liberal terms must be given to Europe to repay its American debt if Europe is to remain solvent, and thus able to buy American products. This element is apparently aware that Mir.
