Big Profits At Monte Carlo Will C.av: R;m,T) Trs Year According to Estimates. Although there has been no sensational play recently this yea will be the most profitable the tables have ever had. This is partly because the closing of Ostend Spa increased the clientele and partly because a cold, wet summer drove the people here during the off season. Last year's profits were $5,660,000; this year's will be close upo.i $7,000,000. Increased facilities for heavy gambling will be given in the new year by the opening of the new sporting club annex to the Casino. On the first floor of the old Monte Carlo hotel a gorgeous saloon has been fitted up for baccarat, while rooms have been set apart for bridge, poker, and, in fact, any game at cards gamblers desire. A splendid buffet is attached so that frequenters need not leave the building for meals. There has been a great discussion among the authorities as to whether women shall be admitted to the sporting club or not. Professional gambling sharps, who receive valuable aid for raking in young victims from among the pretty demi-mondaines, are urging the authorities to admit women. Another superb room has been added to the Casino with a "buffet and handsome smoking and lounging rooms. It is believed that the Hotel Paris was torn down to provide a site for the new opera house. The authorities, having obtained control of the Hermitake hotel to replace it, have re-named it Paris. Under the terms of a new agreement with the prince of Monaco, the Casino authorities are bound to spend an enormous sum on improvements, the first being the construction of a new port to make Monaco the best yacht harbor on the Riviera. The work is already well forward. To repay themselves for this outlay the Casino people have made two apparently inconsiderable but really substantial changes. The Casino opens at 10 a. m. instead of 11, and all the roulette tables, the number of the little brass'-boxes into which the ball jumps have been increased from ten to fourteen. This means that three coups can be played in the time formerly occupied by two, owing to the increased resistance offered to the impetus of the ball. On 5c. a Day. To the Courier Editor: For the benefit of many people who think they cannot live on less than three meals a day and must spend several dollars a week for food, meat included, I will relate my own exper

ience Have not used meat m any way tor over hve years, and can do more hard work and have much more endurance than I ever had on the old customary diet, I use all kinds of vegetable , fruits, fresh and dried, rice, peas, beans, lentils, and all kinds of grains, mostly whole, raw or soaked and simmered, never cooked as most people define the word. For the past two months, I nave confined myself to a diet of whole wheat (irrains) and raisins four days a week, two meals per day; the other three days I have used rice, dried peas, beans, rolled oats, and coarse corn meal (which I grind at home) and raisins, which I use dry or soaked as the fancy strikes me; also used a small quantity of salt, and have used six pints of olive oil, which'equals three pints per month. This was used on the wheat, rice, peas beans, etc. These things were purchased in small lots at retail prices, and I find upon adding up my bills that it has cost me a fraction over five cents a day for the sixty days. I do not believe it is necessary to live so cheap ly in order to have good health, but simply give the facts to show what can be done. Box 156, Huron, S. D. Harry O. Wibirt. The Way To Look At It. Don't make the mistake of weighing advertising by what it costs. It is impossible to pay too much for advertising if it pays. Nothing is cheaper than costly advertising that brings big, profitaole returns. Nothing is more expensive than "cheap" advertising that brings no results. If a newspaper charges you 50 cents a line, and every line brings you a dollar profit, you have got a regular Klondike. If a newspaper charges you 50 cents a square foot and you never heard from it, you ai3 pouring money into a rat hole. Advertising is merchandise. Buy the kind you can make a profit on, no matter what it costs. Have nothing to do with the unprofitable kind, no matter how low the price is. Don't waste time being indignant at the women who will flirt with your husband; just consider how hard up they must be. Marrying for love is so rare in society, nowadays, that it is considered almost raw.

Fearlessness of Faith On the occasion of the death of Mr. Henley, a few days ago; The News printed his remarkable poem, "Out of the Night that Covers Me." Of course, it can not be accepted by any Christian as embodying a sound philosophy. We may all admit that we are occasionally covered by a night that is "black as the pit from pole to pole' and we like to believe and surely this is good Christian doctrine that everyman has, or may have, "an unconquerable soul." Christ teaches that surely, "Fear not them," He said "which kill the body, but are not able to kill the ' soul." The soul is indeed unconquerable, though possibly Mr. Henley meant to imply that it is unconquerable even by God. But the general principle is true. But is it true that we are "in the fell clutch of circumstance"? If it is, we are, of course, not responsible for our failures and falls. There are men - who seem to be under the control of some evil power outside of themselves which they are powerless to resist! the victims of some curse imposed for no sin of their own. Such, and there are such, are entitled to our pity, and Mr. Henley was in this case. But, taking numan life as a whole, it seems reasonably clear that men are tlr ir own masters, and superior to circumstances. Even Mr. Henley closes his poem gloriously with these verses: I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. If a man is the master of his fate, he is not in the -"fell clutch of circumstance," and if he is the captain of his soul there is nothing else that he needs to command. But the pagan part of the Henley poem is this: Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody but unbowedBeyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the horror of the shade, And.yet the menace of the years Finds and sha'l find me unafraid. A very noble form of paganism this is but still it is paganism. We are taught to believe that affliction is not ''the bludgeoning of chance," but usually ablessing. "Now," we read, "no chasttnmg ifor. the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous; nevertheless, afterward it yiefdeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which areexercised thereby. We are to endure not rebel against hardness, as soldiers. The ref ormatoiy and purifying effect of sorrow, suffering and pain are generally recognized by the great philosophers, whether pagan or Christ- - ian. Sometimes it is better to bow the head meekly and submissively, rather than to keep it "unbowed. It is not a question of chance, but of providential ordering. And real courage comes rather from this way of dealing with sorrow and pain than from Mr. Henley's way. One who looks at life as divinely ordered will be so "unafraid" that one will not regard this world of God;s as altogether a "place of wrath and teais," nor think of "the horror of .the. .shade" as the only thing to be faced in the next world. If we object to the word submissive, there is yet a wide interval between that and the stern and rebellious defiance that breathes in Mr. Henley's lines. Far above the latter is the calm serenity, the steadfast trust in the good purposes of the Almighty which have been shown by the great saints of earth. And those who have this serenity and trust are the true masters of their fate, the true captains of their soul. Mr. Henley reached his conquest by another road a road which will serye. But it is not the one that has been trod by "the noble army of martyrs." The fearlessness of faith is grander and more consoling than the fearlessness of defiance. The former, as has been said, banishes all thought of "the horror of the shade" wnich is so terrifying as to compel a man without faith, who would be "unafraid," toset his teeth and brace himself in order to avoid being driven into a panic by it.

It is quite apparent that to dig a tunnel from two sides and make both ends meet is a delicate problem. Should they happen not to meet it would be an expensive wandering in the mountain to find them and get them together. But fortunately there is a guide as true and unbendable as mathematics. This is an imaginary straight line between two points. One point is a little observatory shed on the bank of the Rhone, with a spyglass pointing horizontally toward Italy. The other point is a similar little observatory on the bank of the Doveria in IIy; with a glass totoward Switzerland. Betweencne two points rises theSimplon mountain pass Hiifc the straight line goes through just the same, for it is only aa,imaginary straight line. It is, however, steadily 'turning into a reality that is, the tunnel. And if it were not for the gas of the tunnel, then some day the observatory in Switzerland could look through the mountain at the observatory in Italy.
