DICE LONG KNOWN TO WORLD
Amusement Is Probably the Most An
cient Game, According to Records
OF Old Writers.

The eldest amusement in the world
Is dice-throwing.
In some form or another, dice have
existed in every period of history
They are shown on early Egyptian
monuments, and some dug up at
Thebes recently are exactly simiiap to
those in use today. They are men
toned in laws regulating games
played In ancient Greece and Rome
and most other countries In Europe
The invention Of dice Is attributed
to Palamedes, one of the heroes who
sailed against Troy, about the year
1914 B. c., but the use Of cubes with
numbered sides for gambling purpose:
is probably much earlier.
Frequent passages In the works of
ancient writer's and numerous repre-
sensations in marble and paintings
show how popular ldice-playing was
among them.

EXPLAINING LACK CT DETAIL
Youthful Artist Had Excellent Reason
for Leaving Out Characters In
Her Illustration.

A primary class in one of the grade
schools was asked to illustrate a
story that had been read to the little
ones by the teacher. The story told
of three children going to wood in
a goat wagon, and staying until the
sun went down. Most Of the pictures
showed the goat with big horns pulling
the wagon containing the children,
and sun going down behind a hill.
One of the small girls In the class
handed in picture showing merely
a hill and some grass.
''Why, what does your picture
mean?" inquired the teacher. where
are the goat and the children?'

HaIf-century plants.

There are no true century plants In
the sense that it takes them 100 years
to bloom. A number of plants. how
ever, do not bloom until they have
lived for a long term of years. The
classic example Of such plants Is the
TALBOT palm Of India which lives for
so years or more and becomes tall
tree before It blooms After 1t has
sent up its immense fiowerstaIk the
whole plant dies. Our American "cen-
.tury plants often fruit ut the end Of
eight or ten years under natural con-
ditions. but In the house may refuse
to bloom at all. Many of the bamboos
act like the century plants and bloom
but once after long period of vege-
tation. Such species are known as

Jean Libbey. If he's single
he resolves that he'll cut loose from
the companions he has had-the jolly
fellows who are not just what they
ought to be. He makes up his mind
that he'll quit turning night into day,
larking around until the wee sma'
hours and attempting to work the
next day. He makes up his mind he'll
save money. Instead Of going out with
the boys he'll hunt up the nice girls
whom he knows and spend his eve
nings with them. From the many he
will choose one girl who shall be
nearer and dearer yet than all others.
He thinks he has had quite enough
of bachelor life--in fact that he'll
marry and settle down.
The married mans thoughts are
along quite different line He makes
up his mind to cut down the number
of clubs to which he belongs and give
his wife the new cloak she has been
pining for. He will forego the stag
rackets that he has been accustomed
to join in, telling his wife that he's
been to a prayer meeting. He con-
cludes to give his wife little more
pleasure in the way Of outings. and
to pay her pretty compliments to
keep her heart from whitening alto
gether. He'll cease sneering when she
speaks of her relatives and refrain
from treating them stability when they
pay her a visit.
The father-in-law's thoughts take
different turn. After long and serious
thought on the subject, he concludes
that he will shut his eyes to his SON.
in-law's peccadilloes. give him a help
ing hand instead of grumbling at the
manner in which he is keeping his
daughter; that he'll not take sides with
either when family row is on.
The free lance concludes to cross
off all the married from his calling
list, and to turn his attention to the
women who are heart whole and fancy
free.
The conductor on the trolley car
concludes that he will begin the new
year by stopping at just the corner
that people want to get off at so that
he may gain the thanks of the trav-
elers instead of the upbraidings of
irate passengers who are obliged to
walk many blocks back.
The rounder who depends on the
lunch counter for his daily fare con-
cludes that he will accept Job from
any man who Is inclined to give him
a square deal. The gambler thinks he
will turn his attention from the tricks
of his trade because gambling is pro-
hibited in his state. He thinks he may
pick up a nimble penny by becoming
a rousing notwithstanding the dell
round the stump. The milkman con-
cludes not to stop at the town pump
for a drink, the dashing chauffeur con-
cludes to put his name and address in
his Identification book when he goes
joy riding.
But do you think that these men will
keep these resolves? 1t is a good
thing TO hope.

Food Supplies Reaching Russia

News from Riga, seaport on the
Baltic. from which commercial and
passenger traffic goes by rail into
Russia, gives the comforting assurance
that thousands of tons of food stutfs
have reached Moscow. At this one
port many ships have already been un-
loaded and the bread, grain, and milk
started on its way for distribution by
representatives of the American Relief
Commission. Ships are being unloaded
at Petrograd also. These first conslgn-
ments of food are but mere crumb to
the widespread hunger in Russia, but
they are having their effect in revlvlng
the courage and patience Of the people.
When the children near Moscow tasted
the first slice of American white bread
and drank bowl of prepared milk or
of cocoa, and rice pudding, the news
spread and the thoughts of both chill
dren and parents are filled with the
picture of the food-bearing ships, and
the train-loads of bread.
