It's an Unsinkable Lifeboat?Captain
Ole Brude, of Seattle, the Intrepid
Norwegian sailor who In 1905 crossed
the Atlantic in the Uread, an odd
looking egg-shaped lifeboat eighteen
feet long, is planning an interesting
experiment on the Pacific.
Captain Brude has asked permission
Ul scvcitti Ui 1"C7 ucuio-raviuc oi*7c*iis~
ship lines to be put adrift in his lifeboat
from the deck of on? of the liners
in midocean, asserting that he
would forfeit a good-sized sum of
money If he was not back in Seattle in
six months.
"To demonstrate that my lifeboat
could weather the biggest gales, ride
the heaviest seas and safely carry her
passengers into port, with three companions,
I set out from Norway, Aug.
17, 1905, bound for America," said
panions, I set out from Norway Aug.
Captain Brude. "It was a rough voy
age, UUi illg; wiutii ?u ciivvumcivu we?
eral storms, but we reached Boston
safely in January, 1906, our only power
being a lone sail fastened to an
Iron mast."
Captain Brude said that his craft
had provisions for a year and there
was plenty in the larder when they
reached the Massachusetts coast.
"I wish to demonstrate to the shipping
men of the Pacific that my lifeboat
will not sink or capsize in the
heaviest weather, and is the safest
used on the seven seas," said Captain
Brude. "She can be made to carry
forty passengers and provisions for
three months. Fifty-five of the craft
in which we crossed the Atlantic
would have taken the members of the
crew and all the passengers of the Titanic
and easily reached New York
harbor with them."?Boston Herald.
He Couldn't Dazzle Her.?The young
man nf the house reallv was making
good as a surgeon In a way that delighted
his parents and brought him
much flattery from friends and neighbors,
but old mammy, the family servant,
remained unimpressed.
One day, when he had done a particularly
brilliant piece of surgical j
work and delivered an especially pro-1
found address before a great convention,
he said to mammy:
"I'm not a baby any longer and I
think you ought to call me Mr. Charles
hereafter." The old darky snorted her
indignation.
"Who?me?" she asked. "I ain't
never is gwine call you mister! You
ain't no mister any more'n I'se a miss.
You couldn't wiggle yo' fingers so pert

you couldn't hear de patient's heart
a-beatln' ef it wa'n't for me forever
washin' yo' ears so clean! You ain't
nothin' but a measly little boy to yo'
ole mammy!"?New York Press.
Shocked and Grieved Her Husband.
?Jimson was a little, sharp-eyed shoemaker
with stooped shoulders and a
chin whisker. He lived in a Missouri
river town, and whenever he drank too
much he used to wind up by going
home and thrashing his wife. She never
failed to go over to a neighbor's after
a session with the old man and
complain bitterly of his treatment.
After a while the neighbors grew
weary of the oft-repeated tale and remarked:
"Well, you seem to like it
You always take it willingly. Why
don't you pick up something and hit
him with it the next time he whips
you?"
The wife considered the matter, and
the next time her lord began to beat
her she grasped a chair and smashed
it over his head. The old man fell back
In stark amazement, dropped his
hands, and stared at her.
"Why, Mary! Why, Mary!" he whimpered.
"What on earth is the matter
with you? You never done this way
before."
The Man He Wanted.?A Scottish
tourist walking about the streets of
Paris, some distance from his hotel,
found he had taken a wrong turning,
and, t< lake things worse, he couldn't,
througn ignorance of the language,
ask the ay.
Then a happy thought struck him.
By dint of signs he coneludid a bargrain
with a fruit hawker for a basketful
of gooseberries, and then, to tnt
amazement of everybody, went about
Rhnntlne:
"Fine Scotch grossets! A penny a
pun!"
This went on for a while, till a fellow
countryman rushed forward and
asked:
"Man, d'ye think ye're in the streets
of Glasca, that ye gang about like a
madman crying grossets?"
"Ech!" replied the hawker, with a
sense of relief, "ye're just the man I
was looking for. D'ye ken the way to
the hotel?"?Weekly Telegraph.
Appropriate Scripture,?When Henry
J. Horn, now assistant to President
Mellen, of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford railroad,' was division su
pennienueni ui mc muiuana ukiwvu
of the Northern Pacific railway, he
lived at Livingston, Montana, and
married a Miss Josephine Robinson.
One day after the first baby came,
Mr. and Mr3. Horn took the baby to
church. Mr. Horn carried the child,
and as the proud father and mother
walked down the aisle the minister
read from Daniel, seventh chapter,
eighth verse: "I considered the horns,
and, behold, there came up among
them another little horn."?Exchange.
Obvious.?"My husband has deserted
me and I want a warrant," announced
the large lady.
"What reason did he have for deserting
you?" asked the prosecutor.
"I don't want any lip from you, I
want a warrant. I don't know what
reason ne nau.
"I think I understand his reason,"
said the official feebly, as he proceeded
to draw up a warrant.?Exchange.
Opposite*.?The dapper little ribbon
clerk gazed languishingly into the dark
eyes of the handsome brunette waitress.
"Isn't it wonderful," he gurgled,
"how opposites seem to be attracted
to each other?"
"It sure is," agreed the beauty. "I
noticed only today that the tallest man)
at the lunch counter ordered shortcake."?Lippincott's.
Utter Ignorance.?A noted Kansas
City character was clinging to a lamppost
one Sunday morning when a
stranger came along and addressed
him.
"Sir," inquired the stranger, "can
you tell me where the Second Presbyterian
church is?"
"Mister," answered the weary one,
"I don't even know where the First
Presbyterian church is!"?Exchange.
THE WOMAN GAMBLER.
The Contagion of Her Influence and
Example.
A week or two before horse racing
was abolished in New York state two
women sat in a train that passed the
Belmont park race track. They were
both fashionably dressed and from
their conversation seemed to be women
of education and some culture. Suddenly
one of them exclaimed:
"Oh, I do wonder if I shall come out
ahead today?"
"Well," said her companion, "if you
do lose again don't get discouraged.
You'll get your luck back again. Look
at the bad time I had a year ago, and
now I'm way ahead."
"Yes, I know," said the first woman,
"but I must win today. I must have
the money to pay George's school bill;
it's due the first of the month."
The two women were either professional
gamblers or else they were wives
and mothers who had plunged their
husbands' money on the races, and one
of them, through her gambling, was
at a loss as to how she was to provide
for her son's education.
They talked all the way out to the
race-track, each explaining to the other
her "system," her hopes and her
fears. When the station was reached
the first woman rose and said: "Well
here we are, and if I don't win, well?I
can't stand another night like last
night. I did nothing but dream of the
bills I owed."
There always have been women that
gambled ever since Eve took a cnance
on the apple, and perhaps most notorious
among them was the Countess of
Buckingham, who. after she had made
her peace with the church, played cards
with her undertaker with her funeral
expenses as the stake, but in the worst
of the "good old days" young girls of
16 and 18 were not allowed to have
their bridge and five hundred parties,
as they are today.
If the young women who play bridge
At 18 were content to leave off at 20
the matter could be dealt with less
harshly, but the young woman who
learns to play cards and enjoys the
game is rarely content to stop.
As for the money that passes from
one hand to another it is significant
that Joseph Hi Choate, while asking a
fashionable audience at an exclusive
woman's club in New York for $5,000
for the support of various charitable
activities, said: "If every woman here
will devote all she wins at bridge in
the next thirty days it will help wonderfully."
Not long ago the papers throughout
the country published the startling
news of the raiding of a fashionable
woman's club in a middle western city
as a gambling house. The raid was
brought about by a wealthy grocer,
whose wife, in the course of one year
had lost so much money at the club
that her husband was facing financial
ruin. In vain he pleaded with her to
stop her gambling, and as she would
not, he went to the chief of police and
gave information that led to the raid.
Two years ago a similar thing happened
at a popular and exclusive summer
resort in the east. The casino
where the gambling occurred was raided,
and half of those taken prisoners
were women. They were women of
the best families in America, women
of culture and education. During the
trial of the proprietor of the place it
developed that his customers included
practically all the women of the colony.
There are many people who will say
that these are unusual cases, that they
must not be taken as examples of a
prevalent condition. But they are not
unusual cases. Ten years ago a woman
who played cards for money was looked
upon as an undesirable person. This
was before the introduction of the
bridge craze. Today there are countless
women who belong to at least one
bridge club, and there are very few
bridge clubs that do not play for
money.
Unfortunately gambling among women
does not stop at the card table.
There are bucketshops, the race tracks
and houses where the roulette wheel
and the wheel of fortune is always
ready to spin. The stock market Is
one of the greatest snares for the woman
who wishes to risk money and
when the books of the New York firm
oi u. ?1. oneneis, wnicn was raiueu oy
the government as a "bucketshop,"
were examined in court, it was found
that a large percentage of the duped
ones were women.
These were not women of the big
cities, but the farmers' wives who form
the backbone of the country, women
who had toiled and saved and who had
placed their money with an unsafe institution
because the gambling spirit
in them was too strong to resist It is
this same spirit that sends women
rushing pellmell to a bargain counter
in hopes of getting something for next
door to nothing, and who, when they
find they have been swindled, offer as
an excuse that one must "take a
chance."
A short time ago a duchess who was
famous throughout all Europe for her
wealth and for her luxurious entertainments,
was sold out by the order of her
creditors. At the same time she said
that her ruin was due to losses through
the stock exchange speculations and
the card table. Here in America a day
seldom passes without one woman go!
ing through the bankruptcy court, and
in many cases her financial reverses
are brought about through the same
course.
As an example of how much money
is made in some of the famous gambling
dens of Europe and America, the
figures of the earning of the most famous
gambling place in the world, Monte
Carlo, will prove interesting. There
are at least a dozen kings and princes
in Europe who receive a revenue from
Monte Carlo.
The four descendants of the original
concessionaire, Edward Blanc, receive
each $4,500,000 a year. Two of them
are princesses. When Prince Roland
Bonaparte married Edward Blanc's
daughter, he received $10,000,000, and
Prince George received the same sum
when he married the daughter of Roland
Bonaparte and Marie Blanc. The
Prince of Monaco's two divorced wives,
one of whom was Miss Alice Heine of
New Orleans, receive large annual incomes.
The state of Monaco is entirely
supported by the institution, its
20,000 citizens being free from any tax.
It also pays the Prince of Monaco
20,000,000 francs a year, supports one
of the finest opera houses in the world,
a standing army, 50 detectives whose
duty it is to persuade would-be suicides
to carry out their plans outside
of the state, and it provides free funerals
and a cemetery for the unlucky
ones who do take their lives when they
have seen the wheel of fortune take
their last cent.
And who is it that supports this
place? Men and women in equal number
from every corner of the world.
Two women from southern Ohio, one
of them the wife of an ex-congressman
and mother of a captain of the United
States army, the other the wife of a
well-known lumber king, spent last
summer abroad. Their itinerary led
them to Monte Carlo. They went there
curious to see just what did happen at
the notorious resort Arriving on a
Saturday afternoon, they visited the
gambling casino that evening. Their
only intention was to look, but. by 9
o'clock they were playing the roluette
wheel, and they continued to play fori
more than two hours. At midnight be-1
tween them they had won 300 francs.
The next morning; Sunday, they were
at the casino half an hour after it
opened, and played the entire day with
the exception of the time it took them
to eat their meals. At night they had
lost several thousand dollars.
How can all this be stopped? In
vain have preachers thundered from
their pulpits. The hostess who plays
continues to bring out her card table
every time she has three callers. The
gambling houses are constantly being
raided, but as soon as the proprietor
of the raided house is out of jail he
slips around to some quiet street
and starts again. Race track betting
is in most states in this country a
thing of the past.
The stock market we have always
with us, and as long as there are women
who will risk all they have in the
hope of getting 100 per cent interest, j
there will always be bucketshops to
supply them with a means of losing
their money. The only real hope lies
with the women themselves. When
they realize that they are undermining
their moral strength and come out and
say, "No, I will not play cards," then,
and rot until then, will there be a cessation
of these deplorable conditions,
but the best and the biggest step possible
will have been taken toward the
elimination of the woman gambler
when young girls are not allowed to
learn to play.?Philadelphia Ledger.
A Prince of Humbugs^?For many
years during the last century there lived
in London a remarkable and ingenious
person who was widely known as the
prince of Mantua and Montferrat. Under
that title he figured in the directories,
he published accounts of his
discoveries and munificent deeds, and
oiinnAflrlQ/l In O rAlloln CT thp liVPliPflt
hopes of favors to come.
The prince of humbugs and humbug
among princes was originally called
Charles Ottley Groom. The name did
not please him, and he next appeared
as Charles Ottley Groom Napier of
Merchlston.
Becoming dissatisfied with the name
of "Napier of Merchlston," he looked
about him for a more imposing title,
and eventually decided in favor of
"prince of Mantua and Montferrat."
In the pursuit of his ambition he appears
to have been ably seconded by

his mother, who was as anxious as her
son to inhale the Incense of public adulation.
Having1 decided to become prince of
Mantua and Montferrat, Iharles Ottley
Groom set about supplying himself
with a pedigree, and by 1879 had succeeded
in compiling a voluminous and
amusing document.
The pedigree set out at the beginning
with Adam and ended with
Charles Ottley Groom Napier. From
David, king of Israel, onward the
prince laid claim to many famous men
as having- been among- his ancestors.
To give an air of verisimilitude to his
prodigious pedigree many anecdotes
and particulars were related of real or
imaginary persons. Thus Napoleon I.
is reported to have replied to a Napier,
who begged for the restoration of some
honor that "only priests, women and
fools cared for empty titles." Finally
the authenticity of the whole genealogical
table was vouched for by 78
FTench lawyers and savants?mythical
as the pedigree itself?who are alleged
to have met in solemn conclave in
Paris and delivered their verdict on
December 14, 1878, in the form of an
engrossed certificate duly signed and
sealed.?Cornhill Magazine.
Proud Kansas.?Kansas has reason
to be proud of her remarkable temperance
record. In thirty years prohibition
has reduced jdrinking to a minimum
and practically emptied her Jails.
The per capita consumption of liquors
in Kansas is now $1.48 a year as compared
with $24 in Missouri. Illiteracy
has been reduced from ninety-four per
cent to less than two per cent, and this
small amount is aunusi entirely among
the foreign element Pauperism has
been made a negligible quantity, there
being only one pauper to every 3,000 of
the population. One-half of the county
jails were absolutely empty in July,
1911. Of 106 Institutions for the feebleminded
ninety-six have no Inebriates
and thirty-eight county poor farms
have no inmates. It Is Idle to ask
Kansas if prohibition prohibits. An
experience of thirty years proves that
It not only prohibits largely the sale
and consumption of liquors, but has
reduced to a minimum poverty, insanity
and crime.?Lesslie's Weekly.
Recalls a Cruel King.?Before England
succeeded In adding India to its
possessions many Britons were cruelly
put to death. Surajah Dowlah, the
ruler of Bengal, was offended at the
action of a few British subjects, and
he ordered his soldiers to throw all the
English they could find into a dungeon.
One hundred and fifty were
jammed into a dark Mole with only one
little window. The place was like a
vault and fresh air could not penetrate
to the dungeon. The result was that
nearly every one was dead the next
morning. As a result this dungeon
ever since has been referred to as the
Black Hole of Calcutta.
