Gambling Is Gan1hlino

THE good bishop is sound in his
4 deductions. His position es-
pecially with regard to prohibition.
makes his dealings with a bucket
shop peculiarly interesting.
There are those who feel that
gambling. whether in stocks or at
a poker table, is quite as immoral
as is taking a cocktail. and that the
man who denounces the latter. while
engaging in the former. is somewhat
inconsistent.
There are others who believe that
righteousness is spotty. and that il
one is holy in some particular
respect and devotes his time anc
energy to making other .-eople like
wise, he need not worry.
Such conception. more thar
anything else. has led to the con
cluSion that prohibition means
temperance. and that if man does
not drink liquor he can he a gluttor
or gamble. and still retain his virtue

Petty Nagging

THE question is not SO much one
4 of personal liberty as of plain
common sense.
1t looks as though we had fought
down big tyranny only to be sub
jected to a lot of petty nagging.
Nine out Of every ten people ar
rested these days are innocent in
a moral sense, and have done no
more than commit an offense which
was manufactured by some legis-
lature or city council.
They have not injured any one,
nor did they intend to injure any one.
In the majority of cases, they mere
ly made a mistake.
But the law enforcement officers
and the courts deal with them as
though they we're culprits.

IF there is any one subject that
4 disturbs the average man more
than any other, it is the gradual
dissipation from the top Of his scalp
of the hirsute growth which he has
learned to associate with the ap-
pearance of youthfulness.
Fortunately for him, there is now
available a representation by one
of the most noted anthropologistS
in the world that the whole ten
dency of mankind is toward a COM
plete disappearance of hair from
the surface Of the body and that
100000 years from today. If human
beings are still upon this earth, they
will be entirely without hirsute
adronment.
Hence he may reply to the taunts
of his more hairy colleagues by
saying he is 100000 years ahead of
his time.

ton of his hair by hair tonics, scalp

strong and when the Democrats met
in Chicago an ardent supporter of
Cleveland was made chairman.
Even before the convention ses-
sion opened. many states had in
structed their delegates to support
the eX-President, 50 that he was
sure on the first ballot of at least a
majority
Despite opposition from his own
state and cries Of stuffed prophet
and perpetual candidate" Cleve-
land Was nominated on The first
roll call. The scene Was one Of in
describable enthusiasm as Cleveland
had broken all precedents.
In a dignifed campaign which
followed. President Harrison had no
chance Of being reelected and in
the November balloting Cleveland
swept the country
In the electoral college he had
277 votes against the las cast r0r
Harrison. For the first time since

The school authorities commended

Bishops Bucket Shop

BISHOP CANNON of the Meth

Harry Thaw's Mother

It vas a happy young woman who in the trying
later days Of the Civil var expressed for the first time
in big way the promptings of an innate tdealism
by selling her diamond ring to help the soldiers.
1t was a still happier young woman who first be-
came the sweetheart and then the wife of the dis
tinguished and wealthy man who happened to buy
the ring which she sacrificed.
The young woman was Mary Copley, daughter of
Pennsylvania editor and descendant of the early
American painter
The man was William Thaw vice-p president of the
Pennsylvania railroad.
AS her husbands wealth increased until it was
estimated at tens of millions, the happy young
natron became the mother of five children.
She became patron of arts, of education, Of
charity She built beautiful houses, and her five
children were endless delight to her-all except
one the boy Harry
Two daughters became Countesses one the
Countess of Pergny the other the Countess of Var
mouth And the boy Harry became-the worlds most
famous murderer
She was going abroad for holiday-she was on
the seas-when her boy shot and killed Stanford
White, the greatest Of American architects, in the
Madison Square Roof Garden, one of Whites master
pieces.
Sixty-three then, and at the height Of a fascnat-
ing career she returned Immediately and sat with her
son through each hour and day and month of two
sensational trials in which everything that could have
been most revolving to her proud and refined nature
brought out under the most humiliating circum-
stances.
Motherhood, the dreams of the days when an
afectonate but strong Wed and irresponsible little
boy played about the grounds of her rich estates-now
she was dashed to him completely as when he was
only the promised reward Of maternity
Who ever can hope to understand a 1.-THE of the
mystery of mothers love for her child?
But this much is sure-that if the mother of Harry
Thaw was cursed with she me that made the charit-
able uses of her great wealth only hooking pala-
tive she was blessed also with magnificent stamina
stamina which kept her living on eighty-seven
years, loving her son, humoring him, safeguarding
him, perhaps, but, even more allowing him his
precious liberty at the cost of her own endless
anguish
If Harry T1naw has been to the world an example
of depravity his mother, now dead, has afforded a
compensatory instance of the vast and magnificent
implications of motherhood.
