In this earthly paradise out soul will revel In the sunshine of heav en and in the gleam of stars. Many a -went voice we hear in the gloaming, which gives us new Inspiration to write the messages of our heart We hear the voices of th" night where we lie in meditation the lawn for our beds and the sky for our blankets.” Transmagnification evidently Is a very small trick for Rev. Popham. First fish, then fowl, then woodland sprites, he and his mate will change form f very time the humor strikes them down in this Floridian Eden. "We like to tiavel as birds in the air," he writes, “and as fishes under the water, and arm in arm we are climbing life's hill together." It would hardly he supposed that such a pair as this could think in mun dane numbers, but he naively con fesses that he actually ate with his mouth in good old-fashion slxty (hcws-to-the-mlnute style. And it was candy, too. What the Waves Are Saying. “While writing this," he admits, “we are sitting together by an open box of candy, by the blue ocean, and while kisses are sweeter and certainly mope lasting thin candy, the latter is not unweleonr Then, continuing lyrical ly, pa reg J ideally, "In a poet’s Eden we ramble, where every tree Is bloom ing its flowers of love and even the flowers bend to kiss in celebration of our happiness and ,the waves roll over each other in glee and frolic and seem ‘ glad because of out gladness. The sea gulls, the emblems of peace and con tentment, linger near upon the blue bosom of the rocking wavs, and they' seem to know that even they will be a part of the love story which we are writing by the sea." If the original Eve had had the ad vantage of Rev. Popham's advice the human race today would probably be rambling In wooded glades instead of toiling in the money mill and grinding on the grissly grill. He makes the fol lowing caustic commentary of Adam's methods of instructions: "If Eve's appetite for apples had been cultivated for kisses Eve would have forgotten her desire for the apples at the gentle pressure of man's lips and today we would be rambling in the original courts of Eden." In conclusion. Rev. Popham breaks— nay, crashes into verse. In this metri cal conclusion he pays respects to the police who arrested him. to the re porters who brought to light the fact of his marriage and to such Other per sons and institutions as are necessary to complete the rhyme. Here it goes: "The hot retreats from Atlanta's streets Hold no charm for me. Nor is there peace with the police For lovers such as we. From city walls and reporters' calls And the eager carneta’s gleams The waves seclude in solitude The safety of our dream. True romance will find some folks un kind, Tho' the world doth love a lover, But what care we by the rolling sea, Where In the dunes we hover? Away from hotels In Nature's dells Lovers find their heaven, Fo- in the tent of sweet content We retire at six or eleven."

Clay, th,* wife slayer, sought by John <'ashin. the blind paper seller, thnt he may see again, will bo given in case the sen tence of the court ts executed, if the family of Clay affrees with W. M. Smith, the attorney, who has conduct ed the defense of the slayer. The lawyer believes that the eyes never will be available. He believes that the appeal in Clay's behalf now pending in the supreme court will save his life. Rut should the sentence of death be executed the lawyer believes that the eyes would be freely offered in the hope that they restore the sight of a fellow man. “Clay's eyes would, of course, be of no use to him, should he hang. 1 dor. t think he will ever hang, but certainly if the sentence is i xecuted 1 would advise that if Cashin believes that his sight can be restored by their use, that the. eyes be given for that purpose. I can imagine nothing that a man would rather do before leaving the world than bestow his power of sight on some fellow being deprived of vision." said tlie lawyer. if it is decided by the specialists, who have the operation under consideration, that the optic nerves are serviceable enough to permit of possible success in the operation, the eyes of Clay will be asked for. Under Georgia custom the body of a man who meets death on the gallows is turned over to his relatives. They finally will decide whether or not the eyes be given Cashin. Mr. Smith says he knows of no ob jection that would lie raised by Clay's kin. He did not speak for the family, however.

JACK' ROSE TELLS HOW PURPOSE TO KEEP OUT OF GAMBLING FAILED By JACK ROSE. (Copyright, 1912, by Star Company. All rights reserved. Any infringement will be vigorously prosecuted.) NEW YORK, Aug. 15. —The Chicago man to whom Lee owed the $3,000 was a loan shark. Lee always went, to such men when fie wanted money. Payment was made direct to the loan shark by the theaters at which Lee ap peared. I gave Lee all the money I had— about $2,000 —and told him I would get the balance. 1 went to some friends and borrowed $2,000 more. We started for Chicago. Before I was there one week I found I needed more money, as Lee had no concep tion of figures. I eame to New York and borrowed another $2,000, returned to Chicago and gave it to Lee. The show was launched in Chicago at the Colonial theater shortly after that, it proved all that Lee claimed for it. During ail this time I didn't touch a card or do any gambling. I was absorbed in my new venture. Lee, who was treasurer of the firm, had all the time to himself. Soon I be gan to get suspicious that Lee was • gambling. I asked him about it, and lie assured me that he was through for ever. \\ e then made all arrangements to play a week's engagement at Massey hall, in Toronto, Canada, during the ex position, hut the engagement was still about a month off. and the plant need ed some' overhauling. Borrowed to Limit. I left Loe in Chicago* and came to New York to arrange for further book ings. \\ hile here I received word from Lee that he had let his foot slip, and that he had obligated himself to the extent of $2,0111) gambling. He had given our plant as security. He attributed this misfortune to the absence of my restraining influence. 1 was in despair. I had borrowed e\er; w here 1 could and didn't know’ an other soul to go to for assistance. 1 wired Lee to come to New York, and he did. 1 explained my awful position. He was very penitent, and told me that, after all. it meant only a couple of weeks longer, when our Canadian tour would straighten everything out. 1 secured a new loan of SSOO from a prominent play author and another of SI,OOO from a friend of the family ami turned it over to Lee. He went buck to Chicago and 1 re ceived another message that more mon <A "as needed to make the journey to Canada. 1 raised another SI,OOO and started for Chicago. By this time 1 was involved for about SII,OOO. When it came time to move to To ronto I learned that Lee had never paid the man who held the lien on the plant, and he refused to allow the pro duction t i move. Lee had lost all the money gambling I had a ti lend in < hicago who made an arrangement to allow the produc tion to move. Before the first perform ance was over in Toronto Lee collapsed, was put to bed and we despaired of his recovery. I borrowed enough money to bring Lee and the rest of .the company home 'to New A wk. He recovered, went to I Chicago shortly after, and .died sud-| deni;. 1 went back to gambling again, more involved than ever and with an other sermon in the life of Henry Lee lon the curse of gambling Harassed by Creditors. , I was constantly being harassed by , eieditors. Suits were instituted against me. To none could I make answer < ther than that 1 hadn't the money to pay. Judgments were secured against me, and they still are unsatisfied. My creditors at times dragged me into supplementary proceedings to as certain if possible how I managed to live and provide for my family. That is one of the Unexplainable things in a gambler’s life. Somehow or other they do it. They don’t really know how themselves. I would go along for weeks at a time unable to meet small household bills, the rent in arrears, etc. Then some day I would make a good winning, pay al! the bills and again feel easy for a time. I was one of the large army of ap parently prosperous men about town Every once in a while I would secure an interest in some gambling house and while we were let alone make some money. Then would come a raid, the closing of the place and further distress. Just living from one day to another, hoping against hope that some millionaire would drop in to some place I was interested in and lose one of his many millions. Then I could pay everybody, retire from the business, take my family away somewhere and start all over again. I hat Is about the dream of the aver age small gambling house keeper. The small gambling houses of down town. the kind I was associated In. are usually composed of from four to six partners. It is usually started by each man putting up about SI,OOO. I he partners work in the place and draw an average of $lO a day wages. Profits Usually Small. The profits, if there is any, are usu ally divided on the first of each month. In most of the gambling houses on the East Side about all that Is left at the end of the month Is the salary that each partner has been drawing. I have often thought that one-quar ter the energy devoted in any other direction that is used by the average small gambling house owner to keep alloat would make him successful In any other business. There ard no fixed hours of work. Sometimes we put in twelve hours and sometimes it is twenty-four hours. In my last venture, which was the house conducted by Herman Rosen thal, of which 1 was a partner, we started in one Monday night and Wed nesday night found us all still at work, with the exception of short intervals of relief for a bite to eat and a few hours sleep in a chair propped against the wall. Ihat particular play paid us, when the game quit, almost SIO,OOO to the good. But we have had other long ses sions and the end found us not only having lost sleep, but with it our "bank roll.’’ And often "frenzied finance" methods had to be brought into play to prevent it getting out that our "bank roll" had been won out. Replenishing Bank Roll. For instance, on several occasions our "bank roll" was getting thin. The game would start. Soon the players were all winners. It was my duty to make a quick mental calculation of about the amount of cheeks out that we I would have to redeem with money. On comparing the amount of cheeks and the amount of the cash on hand, if 1 found we were getting near the dan ger point of a showdown, or of not be ing able to meet our obligations, it was then up to me to call another member of the firm and give him about six blank chocks to fill in. He would start out to visit other gambling houses, or obliging friends would cash these cheeks. Os course, none of the others' sus pected the game had suffered an un- GIRI.

Yorkshire, out by himself, ■ saw the two young folks, and he no ticed that they were gradually going outward. He swam toward them and, calling to Hawes, asked if he needed help.

The girl was laughing with slight hys teria. but was clinging tenaciously to the bathing suit of Hawes, whose phys ical strength was all gone.

JACK ROSE. HOOSE YIELDS TO BATTLESHIP PLAN Majority, in Caucus, Agrees to Compromise on One New Dreadnought. WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.—House Democrats late yesterday agreed in caucus to recede from their "no bat tleship program” In this session and to permit the battleship champions to vote for one such vessel. The decision came after a long tight in the house for no battleships. Unlike the four preceding caucuses, there was an absence of bit terness and by a rising vote of 95 to 11 the resolution of recession was put through. It is expected the senate will agree to the one-battleship plan, ending the deadlock over the naval, bill. While the solid support of the majority will not be given to the battleship program, leaders are confident they will have far more than the necessary strength when aligned with the Republican, "friends of the navy.” The resolution embodying the reces sion states that no member is bound to vote for one battleship should he not desire to do so. An effort will be made to have the warship to be authorized thj largest and most formidable fighting craft ever laid down. The vessel, if its sponsors ‘ win their fight, would be equal in fight ing ability to any two battleships below the dreadnought size and far superior to any of the latter class now afloat. A sharp fight is expected on this pro gram, however. To Drive Out Malaria and Build up the System Take the Old Standard GROVE'S TASTE LESS CHILL TONIC. You know what you are taking.
