PARIS, April 2O.-What is stated
to be the most powerful lighthouse in

Burgundy for the purpose of facili-
.tating night trips on the Paris Mar
seilles air line.
The lighthouse has eight lights,
with a total of 1,000. 200, 900 candle

favorable it's powerful rays will be

Indian Always Ready
for Game of Chance

All Indians. of both sexes are in
veterate gamblers. They have been
known to gamble away everything they
owned, including their wives and their
lives, which is raising the white mans
ante to a considerable degree. AS a
rule, Indian dice have but two sides
that are marked. These markings are
of a thousand and one different de-
signs and colors. The dice are cast
either from the hand, a cup, bowl or
basket. Many of the dice are thrown
on stones, either held in the hand
or on the ground. The object of
this is to make the dice bound over
and over, thus insuring fair cast
The Indian, even as does the white
man and the African enthusiast,
speaks endearingly to his gaming inn
plements, heseeching the Great Twin
Brethren, the Spider Woman or who
ever happens to be the deity presid-
ing over that particular game of
chance to cause LADY Luck" to hover
in his or her vicinity. Some of the
younger generation living on the Mesa
Grande reservation coin their own
phrases, decidedly modern and the
elder men and women chanting gam
ing songs so old that even the most
ancient of the tribe had forgotten the
meaning of the words.

Gestures in Pulpit
Not Pure Eloquence

A new aid to good preaching has
been discovered, a writer in the Con-
tinent reports.
During the past summer a suburban
church asked a church bureau to send
a supply for certain Sunday. The
following Monday the clerk of session
called to tell how much the congrega-
ton enjoyed the preacher of the day.
"That was a fine man you sent"
said he; "the people all sat up and
took notice. His gestures were great;
he swung his arms and certainly sent
it home. Can't you get him again for
next Sunday7"
The minister was called on the
phone and told that the congregation
was so well pleased with him that they
would like to have him return the fol-
lowing Sunday.
"Well, I'd like to-" said he, "but ]
think I'll have to refuse. / liked the
people and enjoyed the service, but
there was one thing that did not APP
peal to me; there were too many mos
Quitoes."

"Corking Idea" Is Right

The Boston Transcript credits the
following to Texas newspaper:
''Milt SHINES had narrow escape
yesterday. While working on his wa
ter tank his hollis slipped and he fell
in. All he had to get out by was a
rope, and with overshoes and overcoat
it was hard climbing. He worked It'll
he almost give out and in desperation
stopped, but failed to let loose the
rope, in a very short time his hands
froze to the rope which gave him a
corking idea, he would reach as high
on the rope as he could hold time
til his hand would freeze to the rope,
then blow his breath on the lower hand
til it turned loose, then reach again,
so finally reached the top. His feet
are frozen, but he is able to be at his
business"

Purr-rr-rr

Unlike Dickens, Thackeray did not
delight in placing among the men and
women of his novels unforgettable lit
tie portraits of their dogs and cats,
parrots or canaries. Nor do we think
of Thackeray as having that personal
fondness for domestic creatures which
was characteristic of Dickens, whose
own dogs no less than his favorite
raven, Grip, figure largely in his let
tiers. But Thackeray's daughter, Lady
Richie, gives in her recently published
letters several delightful little glimpses
of her own and her friends pets; and
in one brief and charming note she
even ventures to interpret few words
from Felinese into English. She writes
to her friend, Mrs. Gerald Ritchie
Solomon (the cat has been purring
messages, tell Peggy. He proposes to
write, but says it is superf1uous to
say how much he misses her, and that
he is purrfectly lost without her to
stroke his back. He has tried my lap,
but he doesn't much like it he finds it
too perpendicular, and he sends his
love purr me."-Youth's Companion.
