HE'S THE ORIGINAL GROUCH
Surely Would Be Hard to Please Old
Gentleman With This Kind of
Disposition.
There ls in Washington an old
"grouch" whose son was graduated
from Yale. When the young man
came home at the end of first term,
he exulted In tho fact that he stood
next to the head of his class. But the
old gentleman was not satisfied.
"Next to the head!" he exclaimed.
"What do you mean? I'd like to know
What you think I'm sending you to
college for? Next to the head! Why
aren't you at the head, where you
ought to be?"
At this the son was much crestfal
len; but upon his return he went
about his work with such ambition
that at the end of the term he found
himself in the coveted place. When
he went home that year he felt very
proud. It would be great news for
the old man.
When the announcement was made,
the father contemplated his son for a
few minutes in silence; then, with a
shrug, he remarked:
"At the head of the class, eh?
Well, that's a fine commentary on
Yale university!"-Lippincott's Maga
zine.
Serenity.
"The true religious mat, amid all
the ills of time, keeps a serene fore
head and entertains a peaceful heart.
This, going out and coming in amid
all the trials of the city, the agony
of the plague, the horrors of the
thirsty tyrants, the fierce democracy
abroad, the fiercer ill at home-the
saint, the sage of Athens, was still
the same. Such a one can endure
hardness; can stand alone and be
content; a rock amid the waves
lonely, but not moved. Around him
the few or many may scream, calum
niate, blaspheme. What is all to him
but the cawing of the seabird about
that solitary, deep-rooted stone?"
Theodore Parker.
Cruel Disappointment.
Jugend tells this story: "In the lower
court of a small town in Saxony Wil
liam had served faithfully and well
as attendant to the presiding judge
for many years without ever having
received any reward aside from his
legal stipend. On the day of adjourn
ment for the season, when visitors
had retired, the judge, who was also
about to leave, asked: "William, do
you smoke?" Seeing a square but un
der the judge's arm, he answered re
spectfully: 'Yes, your honor.' T
knew it by the smell of your coat,'
said the judge, as he walked out."
THAT
AWFUL
BACKACHE
Cared by Lydia E Pinknam's
Vegetable Compound
Morton's Gap, Kentucky.--"I suf
fered two years with female disorders,
my health was very
bad and I had a
continual backache
which was simply
awful. I could not
stand on my feet
long enough to cook
a meal's victuals
without my back
nearly killing me,
and I would have
such dragging sen

hardly 'bear it. I

ctand tight clothing, and was irregular.
I was completely run down. On ad
vice I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound and Liver Pills and
am enjoying" good health. It is now
more than two years and I have not
had an ache or pain since I do all my
own work, washing and everything,
and never have the backache any more.
I think your medicine is grand and I
praise it to all my neighbors. If you
think my testimony will help others
you may publish it.'*-Mrs. OLLIE
WOODALL, Morton's Gap, Kentucky.
Backache is a symptom of organic
weakness or derangement. If you
have backache don't neglect it. To
get permanent relielf you must reach
the root of the trouble. Nothing we
know of will do this so surely as Lydia
E. Pinkham's Compound.

THERE is nothing easier in this
world than to criticise Monte
Carlo. Morally, socially, cli
matically-it is an obvious tar
get. But from the point of
view of administration Monte Carlo
is beyond the critical range. For,even
the most carping can scarcely cavil
at perfection, and that is the word
that best describes the government
of that empire within a principality,
which is Monte Carlo.
Monte Carlo, be it understood, is
the property of the Soci?t? Anonyme
des Bains de Mer at du Cercle des
Etrangers de Monaco. The Bains de
Mer exist, but the Society Anonyme
would possibly find difficulty in indi
cating their whereabouts. They form,
in fact, a more than subsidiary ele
ment of a very mighty organization,
which consists of the one Cercle des
Etrangers in the world where rou
lette and trente-et-quarante are play
ed under conditions which, while as
suring the success of the bankers, as
sure at the same time the security of
the player from anything even ap
proaching fraud.
The roulette wheel ls for any one
to Inspect It has been photographed
from every possible point of view. Its
mechanism is too childish to need de
scription-it is mechanism in Its baby
hood. As for the croupiers, were each
one a Maskelyne or a Devant they
could no more direct the fall of the
fatal ball than that of the house of
lords. As for the possibility of frau?
at trente-et-quarante, that has been
eliminated long ago-by the casino
In its own interests. The packs of
cards used in the game are specially
printed, and once used they are
burned. And from the moment of the
printing to the burning they never
leave the watchful eyes of the verit
able array of employes, detectives. If
you will, with whom the Soci?t?
Anonyme des Bains de Mer. in its
own interests, as well as that of its
patrons, surrounds itself.
Detectives Are Everywhere.
For one out of five of all the em
ployes of the casino of Monte Carlo
and there ire over 1,000-Is more or
less a detective, and with reason. Ac
cess to the casino, be it remembered,
is free.' One pays cear for it once
inside the gaming rooms, maybe, but
that ls one's; own affair. Entry to the
casino is one's own choice, and the
authorities stand either to lose or win
by it That they win on the average
ls obvious; otherwise . they would
scarcely be able to pay ?1.000,000 per
annum In dividends. But. while they
are content to win. they do their b?st
to prot?t ? :? ose who provide the win
nings.
And while protecting the poor
of Monaco, the casino helps those
who would have helped them
selves-If luck had willed lt so.
He who ls fool enough to lose
more than he can afford has
only to make application to the office i
set apart for the purpose to be given
a second-class ticket home, be tie
distance as great even as that which
separates India from the principality.
Not that the casino gives as reck
lessly as their patrons gamble. Ap
plication for the viatique, as this free
ticket borne is known In casino lan
guage, is Invariably followed by in
vestigation. If the gambler has been
of the big order, his stakes-and this
has hitherto been known to the few
are carefully recorded by a watchful
employe, and the amount of his win
nings or lesses each day is known to
the authorities. Be the gambler of
lesser importance, he has none the
less been noticed, and should he
prove a loser a fairly accurate est!-,
mate of his losses ls made by an em
ploye. Wherefore, when application
ls made for the viatique the authori
ties are not easily humbugged.
There are some who still cherish
the delusion that the "bank" at Monte
Carlo is there to be "broken." and
that the sensational feat of which
Charles Coburn, the music-hall artist,
sang many years ago is one really
capable of accomplishment. As a
matter of fact, the "bank" of Monte
Carlo ls an'jing but the fragile thing
of some people's imagination. To
"break" It consists merely In winning
the cash allotted to each ta' 'e nt the
commencement of play-?3.200 in the
case of a roulette table, ?6.000 In
that of trente-et-quarante table, where
the maximum allowed Is ?480. dou
ble that permitted at roulette. If the
player be lucky enough to clean out
a table-"break the bank" If one
will-all that happens is that a furth- !
IN Wt TtPMCf /7TMONTE Cf?RL?
er sum is fetched from the Casino
coffers. He who boasts of "breaking
the bank" at Monte Carlo might Just
as well pride himself on breaking the
Bank of England because a cashier
of that institution ran short of gold
in cashing his check and sent for a
further supply.
But, then, there still exist so many
delusions regarding this, the most
famous casino in the world. There are
people who believe that a croupier
can be bribed to spin a certain num
ber, that a ghostly hand is to be seen
by the fortunate hovering over a cer
tain table and indicating the manner
in which the player shall stake, and
that the occupation of a particular
room in a hotel near the Casino
brings fortune with iL
Percentage of Drofit Small.
While the average gambler i Ees
his money at Monte Carlo, there are
many who leave winners. He who is
content with a reasonable percentage
on his capital and is possessed of a
strong head and a will of equal power
has a very fair chance In his fight
with the wheels or the cards. The
percentage taken by the Casino ls
small-very small in comparison with
the terrible cagnotte of the baccarat
table, or the even more impossible tax
levied on him who is foolish enough
to risk his money on petits chevaux
or boule. As a matter of fact, there
is quite an Important number of reg
ular and successfui rlayerr at Monte
Carlo-people who literally live by
play. They are, needless to say,
gamblers of the most careful class,
players of systems, which reduce the
possibility of anything but small loss
to a minimum. But that they exist
is not t*? be denied. There exists also
in the principality of Monaco a cer
tain few who draw regular pensions
from the Casino-gamblers, once
rich, who have lost all and their for
tune on the board of green cloth, and
upon which the author!* . . have tak
en compassion. They are not, of
course, allowed to cr.ter the rooms,
but the Initiated can often point them
out to one, mooning about the place
and gazing with hungry eyes at the
forbidden salles de jeu.
HE WROTE THE "OX" MINUET
Haydn the Composer, Writes Music
for Butcher and Receives Beef
as Payment.
There ls no sensible reason for
the titles attached to many pieces of
music, some of them even classical
selections. Most generally they are
placed there as an attempt of some
publisher to "boom" hi3 stock and sell
his goods. Then, again, some pecu
liar titles may have their origin in
incidents about as important as the
following:
Haydn one day received a visit
from a butcher who said that himself
and his daughters were admirers of
Haydn's music, and as the young
woman was soon to be married, he
made hold to ask that the composer
write a minuet for her wedding. Kind
"Papa Haydn" consented and in a
few days the man of meat obtained
his music. Not long afterward,
Hadyn was surprised to bear this
same minuet played under his win
dow. On looking out he saw a band
of musicians forming a ring around
a large ox, tastefully decorated with
flowers. Soon the butcher came up
and presented the ox to Haydn, say
ing that for such excellent music he
thought he ought to make the com
poser a present of the best ox in his
possession. Ever after this little
composition was called the "Ox" min
uet.-W. Francis Gates. Anecdotes ol

Insects Get on a "Jag."
"Buzz-hic-buzz-z-z-z-hic."
That Is the song of the flies, hor
nets and bumble bees in Essex Fells,
N. J., these days, and here ls why:
From a hotel on Roseland avenue,
Caldwell, near the Essex Fells line,
beer trickles out of the drain leading
to the barroom and into an open
ditch.
The flies,- hornets and bumble bees
of Essex Fells found this ditch the
other day and almost immediately all
insect pledges of sobriety went by
the board. After taking drinks enough
to render the ordinary winged creat
ure unconscious, the Intoxicated fra
ternity set out In drunken rage to
punish persons who have sought to
exterminate them.
The honest folk of Essex Fells de
clare that the flies, hornets and bum
ble bees, after imbibing freely, at
tack them most ferociously and laugh
a drunken insect laugh whenever a
futile hand slams out in their direc
tion.

Take for illustration the Civil war In

the amount of money that war cost
us during its progress and for pen
sions since, had been expended among
the colored people of this nation for
industrial education and other civil
izing agencies that race today would
have been further advanced In the
scale of progressive peoples than it
will 500 years from today under the
present circumstances.
Christ's kingdom does not come by
the sword. It is within you. The
patriotism of war rules the world with
the sword. The patriotism of peace
rules the world with an Idea. The
one is spectacular and wins instanta

seen only in generations. One ls

the mass of Iron by the unseen ex

The maintenance of peace by- pre
paredness for war 1B out of harmony
with the gospel, with reason, with
ethics, with economicB and with com
mon sense, and any Institution that is
out of harmony with all these things
should be discontinued. The prophet
says the nations shall not only settle
down to the great industries of peace
but that they shall not learn war
any more. As long as peace is main
tained by overwhelming navies the
nations are learning war and the prog
ress of the world is checked. Given
national jealousy, hatred, prepared
ness for war and any trifle is suffi
cient to produce war. t Given national
fraternity, great prosperity on tb?
part of the people and no armament
and no problem ls sufficiently grave
to produce war.
The logic of preserving peace by
Increasing the navies of the world
wotild finally leave the world power

The foohshJbss of increasing arma

own peaceful republic. For the eight
years preceding the Spanish war, our
appropriations for the army were a
little less than $24,000,000 per annum,
and for the navy a little over $27.000,
O0C per annum. For the eight years
preceding 1911 the appropriations for
the army sprang to $83,000,000 per an
num, and for the navy to more than
$102,000,000. Weare now spending for
army, navy and pensions the enor
mous sum of $470,000.000. or 72 per
cent, of the entire revenue of the
United States. If this increase alone
in the army and navy were turned
toward the industries which make
a nation rich and happy, it would en
able and maintain an industrial and
agricultural experiment station in
every county in the United States and
give lt more than $50,000 per annum
for its work. What would this mean
to the people? Last year our farm
products of all kinds were valued at
more than $4.700,000,000. With an
experiment station conducted as Min
nesota is conducting her work among
the farmers in every county, with
$30.COO per annum to operate it. the
agricultural products of this country
could easily be doubled, and with its
doubling every other industry would
keep pace. As lt ls now, we are
spending at least $125.000.000 annual
ly on our army and navy more
than is necessary for reasonable na
tional policing, and thereby losing
annually more than $4,000.000.000
which we might have if we followed
the law of gospel and common sense
and used the amount of money to de
velop the resources of the country
that we are now fooling away on
war measures and getting absolutely
nothing for it
How long, oh how long, will this
wickedness and nonsense continue?
The Crown for the Faithful.
The virtue of fidelity is not condi
tioned by great opportunities and re
sensibilities. It has nothing to do
with splendor of circumstances. It
needs no broad arena, no crowd of
spectators. "He that ls faithful In
that which ls least ls faithful also In
much." The humblest task is to be
done as unto God. Our gift, our tal
ent, may be Insignificant, but lt ls to
be used, not burled. What the world
calls success is often .the shipwreck
of the soul. The dominion of God's
world ls the blessing of those who
are "faithful In a very little," "faith
ful unto death." The crown ls not
for success, not for genius, not for
position, not for. greatness, but for
faithfulness. Life's work and warfare
are to test and train our fidelity.
Abiding In Christ.
Abiding In Jesus is nothing but the
giving up of one's self to be ruled and
taught and led, and so resting In the
arms of everlasting love. Blessed
rest! The fruit and the foretaste and
tho fellowship of God's own rest!
found of them who thus come to Jesu6
to abide in him. It is the peace of
God. the great calm of the eternal
world, that passeth all understanding,
tfeat keeps the heart and mind. With
this grace secured, we have strength
for every duty, courage for every
struggle, a blessing In every cross
and the joy of life eternal in death lt

Family Enough.
Horace, five years old, has a broth

his father and mother, he deemed
this family large enough. When,
therefore, he was told by his aunt
that a little baby was to be added to
the family, he protested:
"I think papa and mamma might
better spend their money for more
strawberries and powdered sugar for
me," he observed. Indignantly.
On a certain day a doctor came to
the house and Horace thought he
knew what that meant. His spirit of
revolt nearly got the better of him,
however, when a second doctor came.
A few hours later, after the doctors
had departed, his Aunt Ella told him
he had a new little brother. Horace
brightened, and tiptoed to his moth

he assured her. "There's only one."

Clergyman's Rebuke to Thoughtless

Disconcerting.
A well-known clergyman was one
day in a barber's shop, when four or
five young men walked in whom he
knew by their voices, but who did
not recognize the man in the chair,
with lather all over his face. They
proceeded to spend the time by tell
ing stories and using expressions
which, to say the least, were rather
strong. When the barber pulled away
the towel the clergyman, cleanly
shaved, stood before them. So non
plussed were they that no one tried to
take the vacant chair, and the barber
called several times: "Next gentle
man!"
The clergyman smiled somewhat
grimly as he r.aid:
