Philosophy of Luck.
"There’s no use in trying to buck
against bad luck," said the success
ful gambler as he sat down his glass
of vlchy and milk. ‘‘lf you see luck
(s going against you, drop out. If
the fickle goddess of fortune is with
you, woo her for all you are worth.
That's the whole secret of the game.
"I’ve been gambling all my life,
and I rarely lose. Why? Because
1 never take a chance against bad
luck. Luck is bound to be either
with you or against you. You win
or you lose. The chances of break
ing even are mighty slim. And who
wants to break even, anyhow?
‘Luck always runs in streaks. I
can generally dope out whether I am
going to be lucky or not, and when I
know it isn’t my time to win I sim
ply don’t play. How do I know?
Well, I have a little system of my
own, and I don’t mind letting you in
on it. Before I sit into a game I
try out my luck in the seclusion of
my apartment. I take a deck of
cards and start to play solitaire. Can
field against an imaginary banker. In
five or six deals I can get an idea
whether luck is with mo at that par
ticular time or not. If the cards are
'running consistently against me I
;stop and spend the evening at the
Itheatre, or chinning around the ho
[ tel lobbies. No game for me that
!night. On the other Hand, if I seo
the cards are running my way I get
into a game, and seldom quit a loser.
It may sound foolish, but take my
word for it, it’s a pretty good dope to
go by.”—New York Times.

Farmers Tricked by Swindlers.
It came to light recently that resi
dences of Heidelberg and Lynn town
ships, County, Pa., had been
swindled out of $40,000 through a
crooked insurance deal. Early in the
winter several agents canvassed the
region, inducing farmers and others
to subscribe from S2OO to $2,000
worth of stock in a proposed new in
surance company.
It has just become known that th*
blanks they signed were transformed
Into promissory notes, which had im
mediately been realized upon by the
swindlers. The agents operated
quickly and decamped. All those
duped were of good standing and the
swindlers had no trouble in getting
their money.
Some families have been hit for as
much as $3,000. —Chicago Inter'

The Crusade Against
the Bow Knot Club.
Re-enforced by societies at the left
of her and societies at the right of
her, Mrs. Calantha Wegler’s promi
nence In Cedralia, a scraggly-edged
town of the Middle West, was undis
puted. She acted in the capacity of
president or secretary in the Aid, Hu
mane. Relief, Auxiliary, Soldiers’ and
Sailors’ societies, Haymakers’ associa
tion, Pythian Sisters and Degree of
Honor, but like a warrior of old, she
sighed for more worlds to conquer.
To widen her field she organized
the Ladies’ League. The object of
this order being reform, Mrs. Wegler
had some difficulty in finding oppor
tunity for action. Finally she found
her prey in the shape of the Bow
Knot Club. It was composed of a
few well-mannered young men, whose
chief offense seemed to be that they
had a clubhouse at Leaf Lake.
The* president of this club, Willard
Cole, was a wooer of Mrs. Wegler’s
young daughter, Bertha, but the
mother proved adamant iff her dis
approval of his attentions and would
not suffer her prejudices to be over
come.
One summer’s day the Ladies’ Aid
Society, marshaled by Mrs. Wegler,
made an expedition to Leaf Lake for
a day’s outing. When they reached
their destination they were ap
proached by the captain of the little
steamer, who made a friendly and
cheap proposition to take the party
about the lake. The members of the
society being fair weather sailors and
earth and sky seeming reconciled,
they decided to make a little junket
on the waters. Serenely, complacent
ly and blissfully conconscious of the
dangers in their horoscope, the sis
ters embarked. The constant chug
of machinery kept rhythmic time to
their chatter and interchange of mu
tual confidence, while the hissing of
the escaping steam raised their voices
to shrill crescendo.
Suddenly the man at the boiler
called in low, emotional voice to the
man at the wheel.
“Reddy!”
Reddy quickly turned and iiT're
sponse to the impressive beckoning,
hastened to the coal passer. The two
talked in low, troubled tones while
the society, now at “attention,”
maintained a breathless silence.
Reddy returned to the wheel. The
boat gradually slackened her speed
and then suddenly and omniously
stopped. The man at the boiler
looked about him helplessly.
“What is it?” demanded Mrs.
WegJer.
“Well,” he replied disconsolately,
“the fire’s low and the coal’s give
out.”
There issued a series of piercing
shrieks from the terrified pleasure
party.
“What are you going to.do?” cried
Mrs. Wegler.
“We’ll have to wait till someone
sees us and tows us in,” he answered
discouragingly.
Soon Mrs. Wegler spied a sailboat
skimming by in the distance. She
waved signals of distress, to which it
responded by changing its course and
coming toward them. As they
steered alongside the steamer, she
recognized the sailors as Willard Cole
and his best friend.
“What is it, Reddy?” asked Wil
lard as the boat came into the wind.
The two held conference. At its
close Willard addressed Mrs. Wegler
consolingly.
“There is no immediate danger,
and we could, of course, tow you in,
but I think it would be safer for you
to all come aboard the sailboat and
let us sail you to the shore. The
steamer is old, and when a fire gives
Out —”
“Oh, yes, oh, please, Mr. Cole, take
us in your boat,” piped a plaintive
chorus of panic-stricken sisters.
Under Cole's directions and Mrs.
Wegler’s commands, the women were
carefully transferred from the
steamer to the sailboat.
“You have delivered us from dan
ger!” declared Mrs. Wegler in tragic
tones as she rolled her eyes Willard-
Tjard.
Ho modestly and deprecatingly dis
avowed much action in the delivery
line.
“It's a pity,” he declared, “that
you should all be deprived of your
pleasure ride. My friend and I had
no objective point, and we should be
glad to take you around the lake.”
The breeze was light and delicate.
Mrs. Wegler, in behalf of the society,
graciously accepted. It was the in
tention of the two young Bow Knot
ters to give the good women a sail
and then boast of the fact to their
friends and to Incredulous church
members that they had taken the
whole society “out.” Fate forced
them to extend still further hospitali
ty to their foes. Some little feathery
clouds scudding by united forces and
suddenly produced a light sprinkle,
which caused a squall on board.
It chanced that they were nearei
the tabooed clubhouse than any other
landing place, and Mrs. Wegler
promptly suggested that they there
await a cessation of the shower. Her
companions acquiesced. Fate had
given them the coveted opportunity
of viewing this abhorred place. The
Bow Knot Club, therefore, took unto
their hearth and home their reform
ers. Willard at once proceeded to
“make hay.” He drew Mrs. Wegler
aside for confidential conversation.
“I want to ask you something, Mrs.
Wegler,” he said, his big blue eyes
meeting hers in guile. “Are you real
ly interested in the welfare of our
club —in my welfare, individually?”
“Why, of course,” she responded,
eagerly and glibly. “We want you
to be led into the right path, to leave
your sinful ways and—”
“But, Mrs. Wegler, they do not
want to he led. The time is not ripe
yet for them. But it is for me. I
want to be domesticated, and you can
do it. You know the ideal why to re
form a sinner is to be as good as you
can to him. If you will open your
door wide to me and let me feel the
influence of home you might reclaim
me, and make me worthy of Bertha.”
“I guess you are right, Willard.
Anyway, you have saved my life and
I owe it to you to give you a chance.
You may come and see us to-night.”
Willard’s heart bounded as lightly
as did the little sailboat when it bore
to the opposite shore its charge of
pacified, tranquil sisters. When they
landed, Willard left his prospective
mother-in-law long enough to hold
parley with the man s.t the wheel of
the little steamer, which was again
doing business. He bestowed upon
him a grin and sundry cash. —New

CHLOROFORMED THE FISH.
Photographer's Device to Obtain Life
like Pictures.
To the many strange uses that
chloroform may be put Dr. Francis
Ward, of Ipswich, has added yet an
other. He chloroforms fish, not for
surgical purposes, but in order that
he may obtain lifelike photographs of
them in their natural environment.
“The greatest difficulty I had to
contend with in this fascinating
liohby of photographing fish in their
natural environment in tanks was the
rapid and unexpected movements of
khe subjects,” Dr. Ward explained.-
“The idea occurred to me that I could
make the fish more tractable by
means of chloroform. But how to ad
minister the anaesthetic? Eventually
I decided upon the process of drawing
the water slowly away from the tank
while administering the chloroform
through another tube.
“The experiment was profoundly
interesting. At first the fish became
extremely excited, darting madly from
one side of the tank to the other. It
appeared as though my effort was to
be in vain, but before long lassitude
overcame them and they rested lazily'
near the bottom of the tank. Thus
I was able to make a protracted pho
tographic exposure with excellent re
sults.
“Continuing my experiments, I
found that just before anaesthesia is
complete it is possible to take a pho
tograph of fish in an aggressive atti
tude. Anaesthetics are particularly!
useful in the photomicroscopy of fish
larvae. Once they are removed fjont
the chloroformed water the
rapidly recover.” London Dailj!

The Doctor’s Dilemma.
The question, which seems likely
to remain a purely academic one, of
whether it would be justifiable for a
physician to hasten the death of ai
person apparently doomed to perish!
in horrible agony without the doctor’d
aid lias come to the front again. Thd
case supposed is generally that of ari
engineer pinned under a wrecked
train with fire rapidly approaching,
and it is asked: Is the physician
justified in administering a lethal
dose of morphine hypodermically?
We see no harm in going a little fur
ther into this dilemma. Given the
engineer and his parlous position,
but suppose the physician to have
lost his syringe in the train wreck.
Our ques’ion is: Is the physician
justified in banging the engineer over
the head with a coupling pin?—New

THE REAL FACTS
ABOUT MRS. FINCHER
As Told by Herself, in a Letter
Lately Received, Giving
, Particulars About Her
Case.
Peavy, Ala.— “l had been troubled a
little for about 7 years,” writes Mrs.
Ludie Fincher, of this place, “but was
not taken down, until March, 1907,
when I went to bed and had to have
the doctor.
“He did all he could for me, but I
got no better. I hurt all over, even
to my arms, so badly I could not rest.
I had pains in my sides, back, bowels,
shoulders and chest. I can’t tell how
I did suffer.
“At last I began to take Cardui, and
I hadn’t taken but half a bottle until
I began to improve.
“I continued to take it until I had
taken four bottles, and now I am in
very good health and able to do all
my housework.”
You may wonder why this medicine
is so successful in curing sick women,
after other medicines have failed. The
answer is not far to seek.
Cardui is successful, because it is
composed of ingredients that act spe
cifically on the womanly constitution.
It is not a cure-all. It is a medicine
for women and only for women.
Its success is due to its merit.
Try it.
