DICE LONG KNOWN TO WORLD
Amusement Is Probably the Most An
cient Game, According to Records
of Old Writers.
The oldest ntnusenicnt In the world
Is dice-throwing.
In sonic form or another, dice hnvc
existed In every period of history.
They nre shown on early Kgyptlun
monuments, and some dug up nt
Thebes recently are exactly similar to
those In use today. They are men
tioned In laws regulating games
played In ancient Greece and Rome
and most other countries In liurope.
The Invention of dice Is attributed
to I'nlnmedus, one of the heroes who
sailed against Troy, about the yenr
1241 II. C but the uo of cubes with
numbered sides for gambling purposes
Is probably much earlier.
Frequent passages In the works of
ancient writers and numerous repre
sentations in marble and paintings
show how popular dice-playing was
among them.

MOTHER, QUICk! GIVE
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
FOR CHILD'S BOWELS
WOULD HAND LORD DOLLAR
Even a sick child loves the "fruity"
taste of "California Fig Syrup." If the
little tongue Is coated, or If your child
Is listless, cross, feverish, full of cold,
or 1ms colic, a teaspoonful will never
fall to open the bowels. In a few
hours you can see for yourself how
thoroughly It works nil the constipa
tion poison, sour Ijile and waste from
the tender, little bowels and gives you
a well, playful child again.
Millions of mothers keep "California
Fig .Syrup" handy. They know a tea
spoonful today saves a sick child to
morrow. Ask your druggist for genuine
"California Fig Syrup" which has di
rections for babies and children of all
ages printed on bottle. Mother 1 You
must say "California" or you may get

Poetic Farewells.
So smootli a writer us Henry Van
Dyke has found n soft spot In bis heart
for "so long," used In parting. Al
though believing that It uno to this
country fresh and hot' from the cockney
dialect of London, he avers that the
next time he parts from a person "not
too dlgnlllcd to bo loved," ho Is going
to use It. lie deplores the fact that
wo have no phrase similar to the Ger
man "an wiederschen," the Italian "n
ilvedercl," and the French "au revolr."
(lie might lmvo added tho Spanish
"Htistn In vlstn," prettiest of all) each
meaning "until I see you ngaln." So
he dresses up "so long" with the sig
nification, "So long us we arepnrted
may no harm befall you," or "Till we
meet again it will seem so long." Ap
parently he would make It express as
much as "Mlzpah," which says: "May
tho Lord watch between thee nnd me
while wo nre absent one from the
other."
But Some People Will Doubt Whether
Such a Man Will Ever Get
Close Enough.
A young man in Missouri wns col
lecting funds for n benevolent Institu
tion. He tried bard to get a dollar
from an old gentleman who was noted
for his closeness.
When tho young man had stated his
mission ami asked for the dollar, tho
elderly person asked;
"Well, ' young iunn, how old are
your
"I am twenty-five," said the youth.
"Well," continued the old gentle
man. "I am seventy-five years old, and
ns you are only twenty-five years, I
think that I will get to see the Lord
sooner than you. I will band him the
dollar myself." Pittsburgh Dispatch.

The Woman was shopping Ii) a Satt
street department store. She wanted
a hat. There were two others nt the
counter, shopping, without wnntlng
anything. The tall, thin one lifted a
brown velvet trlcorn shape to the light.
"Pretty, ain't it?" she asked her
portly friend, who carried a book uu
der her arm.
"Yes, very," answered tho friend;
"reminds me of Napoleon."
"Napoleon?" queried the tall one,
whose fluffy hair covered a vacuum.
"How and when Napoleon?"
"Oh," answered she of the book, with
superior disdain. "Don't you know?

The brlllinnt Edgar Saltus of un
