On the 17th of next September no leas than thirteen Pennsylvania monuments will be dedicated at Antietum, upon the anniversary of the battle. A lawyer has been kidnapped on Broadway, New York, and is held for a ramsom. Why doesn't he apply for a writ of habeas corpus. Mary Anderson announces that it took Watts, the famous English artist, recent dead, live year to paint her portrait, she lalked so much- during the process.

It seems as if this was a vast improvement on lynching.

It is a good thing the price of beef began to soar when the temperature was in tho nineties. No sensible man would fill his stomach with heat producing food, under the circumstances. J3e a fruit and vegetable eater for a Jlittlo while, and keep cool and healthy. Senator Elkins declares that he "cherishes feeling, of highest affection regard" for ex-Senator Davis. This is well enough for the candidate for Vice President on the Democratic ticket is his father-in-law.

What does Senator Elkins thing of hii mother-in-Jaw? White Star line has not only, the Celtic, Cedrio and Baltic, the three largest possenger steamers in the. world, but it has the most proflable steamship organisation in the world, its dividends for the last ten years 'ranging all the way from 20 to 120 per cent. Senator Depew says he "wants to put on record' his pridiction that 'Judge Parker will be overwhelmingly defeated. This is a safe Per-hays he will be. But some people recall the circumstance that Mr.

Depew felt the same way about Mr. Cleveland In 1902 grain, with their header, this year. BORN. To Mr. and Mrs.

Fielding Carder has bought the Rcn-shaw farm, on the Saline, from his father, paying $3,000. Frank Hoff and wife went to Grinnell, this week, to see the doctor, they both being on the sick list. Chas. Kane has his store stocked so full of goods there is only about room for one man at a time inside.

There is a chance for some, lazy farmer boy to get some good help. The War on Gambling. If you have never played the races you can not realize the fascination of It or its danger. It is a kind of gambling that leads to dishonesty and moral recklessness, and It is not good for the country. It is said that in New Yo-k alone there are fully 3,000 women race track gamblers, and that they come from every walk in life.

In Chicago, where the pool-rooms are fighting for existence, it was found that the business had been reduced to a science. Clerks in the stares gambled. Agents visited the great office buildings and sold pool tickets to the stenographers and small employes. Even on the street cars workers peddled chances. The evil, was growing at such a pice that the authorities realized that it must be checked.

When the pool rooms were closed, the business want to the saloons. Saloon licenses were revoked, and the tickets were then found on sale at cigar stands, in barber shops, on the streets, in a dozen places where it was next to impossible for the police to get action. The mere loss of money is not the greatest evil. It has been shown that when the race betting fever takes hold of a man or woman, he or she is not worth much at any other employment. Every odd are moment, and also time that belongs to an employer, is devoted to the study of the "dope sheets," the search for tips on possible winners and the acquaintance of those who are supposed to know the secrets of the betting, and who are posted on horses, is eagerly sought.

Humanity can find some very bad company at the race track and in pool rooms. The whole thing is demoralizing. Carter Harrison is mayor of one of the most wide open and immoral cities in the land Chicago. He knows and realizes its short-comings, and he asserts that the worst evil in that city is race-horse gambling, which he believes must be stamped out. 1 If it is bad for Chicago, it is equally as bad for every city in which It has taken root.

The woman thought that she recognized the cherubic little boy sitting next to her in the street car, and when the conveyance made a long stop at an open bridge she undertook to make the waiting pleasant for her fellow-pasen-ger. She was heard to ask sweetly: "How is your little sister, today; Tommy?" "Huh!" snorted the offended small boy, lifting up an indignant countenance that was Tommy's, "where did I get any sister, I'd like to know. I haven't ever been married." Ex. N. E.
