Playing Cards for Money
The following, from the pen of the
able Elbert Hubbard, has a local in
terest and a pointed moral to every
young man and boy in this town, and
every other town for that matter. It
might also serve as an object lesson to
those who place gambling devices in
the path of the young men and boys of
today, thereby giving them the first
lesson on their downward career.
As a cold business proposition, let
me give you this: I would not trust an
amateur gambler as far as you could
fling Taurus by the tail.
I will not do busmen with men who
play oards for money if I can help it.
No individual in my employ or any
body else's who plays cards for mon
ey can ever hope for promotion .
The amateur gambler is not necessa
rily a bad man primarily his intents
are honest. He play first simply for
recreation; then, to add interest the
game transiorms itself into penny
ntd. From this to getting all the
money he has is a very easy evolution
when the fever is on. He wins.
But to quit when you have won and
not give your opponents a chanoe to
win their money back is more or less
of a disgraoe.
He plays again and loses.
Theu he wants a chance to get his
money back.
lie plays first only in the evening
an hour after supper.
Then, if he can get away from work
at 4 o'olook and play till supper time,
ho will do so, just as scores of govern
ment clerks do, where the hours are
easy. In tue evening he plays again
excitement is in the air, challenge is
abroad he will come out even and
then quit. Men who have work to do
cannot play all night and do business
the next day, so miduight muat end
the game.
But Saturday night the game goes on
until daylight.
Of the "morality of gambling noth
ing need be said. All I ailirm is that
it is simply absurd to enter on a habit
where success is defeat and to win is a
calamity.
Gambling robs a man of rest; and
the keen edge of his life is lost in
shuflling the pastboards. All he gives
to to bis employer or the world is the
descard. Outside of his play he is a
weak, inefficient person, snd his weak
ness is very apt to manifest itself in
burdenmg bis friends.
If your gambler is on a salary he
very often oomea around for his wages
before pay day ; then be gets to dis
counting his salary to a money shark;
then, if he can, he will "borrow" his
pay before he earns it, without first
cousultiug you. lie iutends to puy it
back oh jesl
He wins and pays it back.
This encourages him to borrow more
the next time- He takes more iu order
to win more. He is now obliged to
play heavily because his debts are ac
cumulating.
It is an old story and dozens of men
in Sing Sing can tell you all about it,
Oue bad feature of the poker game
ia the poker face impassive, white
face, with its ooM, senseless smile. It
reveals nothing nothing but untruth.
And the principal reason it reveals
no t hiu g is because there is nothing
baok of it to reveal; it does not tokeu
truth, talent, sympathy, kindness, love
or intellect.
If four men start in to play pokor
with ten dollars each or a thousaud
dollars each, it is just a matter of
mathematical calculation before all of
them will have nothing. All they
have will go for cigars and driuk and
the miduight lunch which they would
not ueed if they went to bed at a lea
souable hour.

THE WORK CUBE.
The famous Harvard geologist, Na
thaniel Southgate Shaler, who died
about four years ago, waa a man of
singularly wide range and vivacity ol
conversation. In a single hour, says a
correspondent of the New York Nation,
he woilld discuss topics as diverse as
national politics, the seeds of the fos
sil Conlferae, and the question wneth
er there might not he some ethnologi
cal considerations bearing on mathe
matical studies.
Perhaps the most striking thing
about him, after his unexcelled war.mth
of heart and capacity for making peo
ple free of his time and thought and
interest, was his surprising Industry.
On one of the earliest occasions when
I was thrown into contact with him,
and obliged to ask for considerable
portions of his time, I remember hav
ing asked if he were not overbusy.
"No," he replied. "I have a good
many things to do, and a score of yean
ago I had nervous prostration. I went
to Germany and tried all kinds ot
cures for It, but they did no good; so
I came home, and ever since I've been
trying to work it off."
Asking advice from Shaler was a
very different thing from seeking it
from ordinary sources. On one occa
sion apropos of something now quite
forgotten he told the story of his be
lug asked by a graduate of the Har
vard Divinity School how he mtg'it
best fit himself for the work of hU
chosen calling. The freshly graduat
ed theological student did not feel sure
that he knew as much about men as
he did about divinity.
After a moment's thought, the pro
fessor said, In substance:
"Go to Colorado, get down into a
drift, and dig for two years with the
miners. V Possibly you'll know more
about men than you do now."
The young man did so, with the re
suit that he came back at the end .1
the period to thank his adviser for
the good he had derived from his most
unconventional Wanderjahre.

I ,n HAR NESS I
MARCONI ON THE WIRELESS.
Inventor Pointed Out n Discovery ol
Scientific Interest.
Upon receiving the Nobel prize for
physics, jointly with Professor Braun,
at Stockholm, Slgnor Gugllelmo Mar
coni pointed out a result of scientific
Interest In wireless telegraphy which
he had I rat noticed during the tests on
the steamship Philadelphia, and which
was a most Important factor in long
distance telegraphy. This was the
very marked and detrimental effect ot
daylight on the propagation of electric
waves at great distance, the range bj
night being usually more than double
that attainable during daytime.
He did not think that this effect ha1
yet been satisfactorily Investigated or
explained, says Current Literature.
At the time he carried out the test
he was of opinion that it might bs
due to the loss of energy at the trans
mitter caused by the dlselectriflcatlon
of the highly charged transmitting
elevated conductor under the Influence
of sunlight. He was now Inclined to
holleve that the absorption of elec
tric waves during the daytime was due
to the Ionization of the gaseous mole
cules of the air effected by ultra-violet
light, and as the ultra-violet rays
which emanated from the sun were
largely ahsoi h?d in the upper atmos
plit-ro of the earth. It was probabU
tha: the porilou of the earth's at
mosphere which was facing the sun
would contain more Ions or electrons
than that portion which .was In dark
ness, and therefore, as Sir J. J. Thorn
son had showu, this illuminated and
Ionized air would absorb some of tha
energy of the electric waves. Appar
ently the length of wave and ampli
tude of the electrical ocillatlons hud
much to do with this interesting phe
nomenon, long waves and small ampll
tndos being subj t to the effect of
daylight to a much smaller degree. Ac
cording to Prof, l-'h liiir.g, the daylight
etfect should be .-uere marked on long
waves, but this had not been his ex
perli'iiee. Iudted ia some very recent
expt rlments in which waves about
8,000 metres long were used the energy
received by day was usually great
than at night.

RUTH has one good friend
left anyway, Time.
Time is the revealer of truth, as
well as falsity, Time proves the
truth and exposes the faults.
And you can ride down any country road in
this country, or any village, town, or city street
and see for yourself what Time has done to
bring out the facts about paint. Over there
you see a muddy, bleary-looking house -dull-eyed,
as it were low vitality, paint that is
dying dead, may be.
And there in a stone's-throw away, one that fairly
gleams with the reflection of living light, bright, clear,
with that brilliant sheen and radiance of gloss that
tells you the story of what's in it just as truly as if you
were looking into a mirror to see your own self.
Time has proven absolutely that Horse Shoe Brand
House Paint, manufactured by the Mound City Paint
and Color Company of St. Louis, is the truest paint
manufactured in this country or any other country.
It's the one paint that does what good paint ought to
do, and so much more than you expect that any paint
will do. This is because it is made of nothing but the
highest quality white lead, zinc, and best aged linseed
oil. One gallon goes twice over a suTface as high as
a six-footer and 50 feet long and stays there at least
three years and sometimes ten.
It pays to know what's good in paint. It pays to know where to
get it. All wc have to say is that we know absolutely that Horse
Shoe Brand Paint is the straightest, highest quality, honest priced
paint for honest work that we can get hold of. Made by the same
house for twenty-six years. Sold on its merits; on its character.
Remember, too, the Mound City Paint & Color Company manu
factures a complete line of the highest quality paint specialties a
Horse Shoe Brand paint for every use : Floor Paint, Barn and Roof
Paint, To-Wauk-On Stain, Screen Paint, Wagon and Implement
Paint, etc., Grecian Enamel for the Bathroom, Iron Beds and the like.
