DREAM OF REFORMED GAMBLER CAME TRUE i . Multimillionaire Race Men to Open up Monte Carlo ? in California.

(National Ncw Association) EL PASO, Tex., Dec. 14. Harry Hrottski's dream 1b to be realized Tlafc Juan, Southern California, Is to become a modern Monte Carlo but the taian who has made considerable noise as a "reformer" Is to have noth ing. to do with the undertaking. It was the revoking of a concession that IlrolaHki held on this property that caused him to go on his campaign of reform and local sporting men are wohdering what he will do now, that Frank llogan, chief member of the racing firm of Henderson and Hogan, multimillionaire, of Iouisville and Pasadena, has closed an option of the Tlan Juan property for the purpose of bUUding a racetrack. Uogan left hare today for Kout.hern California to Mujterintend the work of construction. 1UH understood that $500,000 will be invested. The option is held jointly hf Jake Marklein of Cincinnati and a man named Stevens. It la their purpdae to make a necond Monte Carlo with all gambling adjuncts out of what ls'Bow marsh land. A. B. Sprecklea, o Ban Francisco, Is also a heavy stockholder in the new turf venture. Matt J. Winn, the Kentucklan who i. manager of the Juarez racetrack, wIH occupy a 1,ke position at Hogan's nW track.

The real wrong to the wife, the real failure of the husband, is Ojrben he becomes unconscious of what she Is doing for him and what she is 1H herself. At first ber ministries and her affection are delightful to him. Then perhaps they become a thing of course received, enjoyed in a fashion, but' hardly thought of. And sometimes, though not so frequently, the Wife becomes untbougbtful of her husband. Perhaps Into most marriages there creeps on one side or on both something of this Indifference. Husband ami wife live together in the chiefly external relation. He is the breadwinner: she is the housekeeper. They accept each other's good qualities as men wear easy fitting clothes, without noticing. They put up with each other's defects as with a smoky chimney or any other annoyance. They would confess to no alienation. They have only got used to each other. It is the same "getting used" that robs life of Its brightness; that makes us blind to the stars and the clouds and the bright procession of the day and year, because we have seen them so often; that keeps us mostly in a numb, half alive state, from which only occasionally are we roused to feel that we are- living In a divine universe and are ourselves divine.--George S. Merriam in !Tbe Man of Today." . Hew Willie Wen. Mother Did you do as I told you at Mrs. Winters' and not ask the second time for pie? Willie Yes, ma. 1 didn't have to ask only once.

There must be few homes blessed with .children, where unused toys do not lie about in the way, or repose in unopened drawers, or in the attic. The children have outgrown, or have grown tired of them. And a toy that has ceased to be interesting is, the most uselesi of all things. Children are like grown-up people. Nothing whose 6ole purpose is mere pleasure satisfies very long. And when the pleasure has palled we want the thing put away from sight. The grown man can trade his automobile for a carriage and pair, but the child's toy has too little commercial value to bother about. So it goes to the scrap heap or lies about in the way. At the same time there are hundreds of children in this very communiy who would be delighted to have these same toys. Yes, In many a joyless home these now useless trifles would become priceless treasures. Maybe you are one of the 6ort who scorn to give such small things as cast off toys. Well, then give your dollars. Either will carry the sunshine or joy into dark places. While considering it mean to give little things, take care that you be not one of the infinitely meaner class who give nothing. True, there's no real charity in giving what you do not want and are glad to be rid of. No; it isn't charity; it's simply plain duty. These trifles mean

New Cracker Toys Tickle the Children If you want to keep a party of youngsters happily occupied hour after hour, invest in a box of "Happy Towns," the new cracker toys. Crisp, sweet, digestible crackers cut in the form of engines and cars little wheels fasten on with straws. The children can hardly make up their minds whether to play with them or eat them. Either means peace and contentment. Happy Town ChewChew Cars come 100 crackers five complete trains in a box, a clever package that makes the Happy Town Station. Costs ten cents.

j joy to the children whose lives God 'knows are so Joyless; and what

right have you to withhold it? You cannot judge the value of these trifles to them from their value to you. The fabled dog in the manger perhaps never dreamed how necessary the fodder, so useless to himself, was to the cow. Nor can you, surrounded by your children whose every want is satisfied, know the ache of longing in ; the hearts of the children of the poor. ; It is a splendid opportunity to teach j your own children something of the true Christmas spirit, which is joy in giving happiness rather than in re ceiving KoKomo Tribune. PHILLIPS-BOGUE. The marriage of Miss Harriet Bogue, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bogue, to Mr. Earl Phillips of Richmond, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ol Phillips of Greensfork, was solemnized at high noon Wednesday at the home of the bride's parents.

Rev. and Mrs. Henry Luring were pleasantly surprised last evening by a number of friends and relatives who called at their home In South Fifteenth street to assist in celebrating Mr. Luring's seventyninth birthday anniversary. The guests came in with well filled baskets and an elaborate supper in several courses was served. After supper the evening was spent socially. The affair was thoroughly enjoyed by all those permitted to partake of the hospitality of the host and j hostess. Those composing the party j were Rev. and Mrs. Luring, Rev. and j Mrs. J. F. Radcliffe, Rev. and Mrs. ; Runyan, Dr. and Mrs. U. B. G. Ewing, ; Mr. and Mrs. Ray Longnecker, Mr. land Mrs. Harry Doan, Mr. and Mrs. i Walter Luring, Misses Ella and Sadie ;Ostott, Miss Gladys Longnecker, Miss I Mary Longnecker and Master Freder- ; ick Longnecker FREEZING WATER. Hew the Growth of Ice Crystals May Be Mads Plainly Visible. It is not commonly known that fresh water may sometimes be "colder than ice" and that the growth of ice crystals may be made plainly visible. An interesting experiment to show this may easily be made. Fill a clean pint bottle with distilled water. Make a hole in the stopper large enough to let a thermometer pass through it The kind of thermometer used in physical laboratories is most convenient. Insert the stopper in the bottle and let the thermometer reach nearly to the bottom. Pack snow or ice and salt rouud the bottle as you would pack au ice cream freezer. If the bottle is not jarred the temperature may be seen to drop several degrees below the freezing point without freezing the water. If the stopper and thermometer are now removed and a small piece of Ice free from any trace of salt is inserted in the bottle and pushed down into the water, crystals of ice may be seen to shoot out in all directions from it. After this experiment has been made it will be interesting to observe the much slower growth of ice crystals in the quiet pools of clear water that you sometimes see in spring and fall, and you will have some understanding of the network of ice girders which is beneath the ice coating of small ponds.

OUR SUPREME COURT.

Its Changes In Numbers Sine It Was First Organized. As originally made up the supreme court consisted of a chief justice andj five associate Justices. In 1807 a sixth i associate was added when a new dls-j trict had been created to take in the new western territory comprising the'; states of Ohio, Tennessee and Ken-; tucky. In 1S37 the expansion of the! nation westward again called for an j increase in the court, and two more j associate justices were added. j In 1863 a ninth associate justice was, needed, but five years later, when ap-j proacbing vacancies made it likely that j President Andrew Johnson might have the appointment of the new members, congress, then in open antagonism to the chief executive, reduced the number to seven, thus preventing him from making an appointment. This number two years later, after the inauguration of President Grant, was increased to eight associate justices and a chief justice, and as then constituted the court has remained. The last alteration in the court was declared at the time to be due to political reasons as clearly as the reduction in 1868, as the addition of a new member made it possible for the court to reverse itself in the legal tender decisions. New York Tost. A Woman's Answer. The barber who when shaving you or cutting your hair tries to sell you an innumerable lot of tonics and pomades you do not need hasn't anything over his sister, the talkative lady in the bairdressing emporium. "And now, madam, will you have anything on your head when 1 am finished?" asked the artiste as she concluded a vigorous shampoo. "I am sure I don't know," was madam's unsmiling reply. "I was in hope you would leave enough hair to pin my hat to." New York Tribune. ooo ooo Fine Watches make excellent Xmas gifts; the satisfactory ones come from Haner's.
