The number of dice used was three, being marked with a minimum of one and a maximum of six spots. The most fortunate throw, called venereus by Cicero and basilicus by Piautus, was when the dice showed three senioues, or eighteen spots. The gravity of the losses depended naturally upon the amount of money at stake and the fines that were paid when the dice showed one or more aces. It is difficult to explain what skill had to do with such a game. Still Isi dore describes how inveterate gamblers could succeed in throwing the six and in avoiding the unit. In a graffito at Pompeii an honest player congratulates himself for having gained a good sum of money without fraud. Plautus dwells on these dishonest practices, to avoid which several instruments were invented, such as the horn and the frltillus. It seems, however, that these Instru ments did not always fulfill their pur pose. A third one was consequently invented in the shape of a tower, with a spiral staircase inside and a funnel on top. The dice, shaken first in the horn or in the fritillus, were thrown in to the funnel and rolled down the spiral staircase until they landed on the table. Such precautions rendered cheating almost impossible. Take Kodol After Eating After a hearty meal a dose of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will prevent an attack of Indigestion.

Queer Records of an Old Time Writ er on This Subject. i Mention of au obscure belief in other countries that Englishmen used to wear tails has prompted a correspondent to submit some information regarding the subject of tails in general. Dr. John Wolff, au old time writer, said: “There is even in England a gentleman of ■ dark complexion and of great talents who walks exactly as if he had a tail, , and people of high rank told me that . he and his family were known to have i tails, and therefore in his carriage there is a hole in the seat where he sits in order that he may be able to sit comfortably." Baring-Gould’s “Curious Myths of 1 the Middle Ages" contains the follow k I ing: “Dr. Wolff in his travels and ad i ventures says, ‘There are men and . women in Abyssinia with tails like . dogs and horses.’ Wolff also heard j from a great many Abyssinians and Armenians (and Wolff is convinced of j the truth of it) that there are near Narea, in Abyssinia, people—men and t women—with large tails, with which 3 they are able to knock down a horse, 1 and there are also such people near t China.” A note in Baring-Gould’s book 1 adds: “In the College of Physicians 1 and Surgeons at Dublin may still be j* seen a human skeleton with a tail seven inches long. There are many known instances of this elongation of the caudal vertebra, as in the Poo nangs in Borneo.” ) A Touching Story is the saving from death, of the baby girl of Geo. A. Eyler, Cumberland, Md. He writes: “At the age of 11 months, our little girl was in declining health, ■ with serious Throat Trouble, and two physicians gave her up. We were al most in despair, when we resolved to try Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consump tion, Coughs and Colds. The first bot - tie gave relief ; after taking four bot'les she was cured, and is now in perfect ’’ health.” Never fails to relieve and cure '■ a cough or cold. At L. N.

' Dunne the week the race far the various offices to he voted for at the pri ) mary on September 2, has been of a fast > and furious sort. Ail the aspirants from ) Register of Wills down to Surveyor, are hustling night and day. The fight for Register of Wills seems to have narrowed down between Messrs. Shuck, Mullin, and Grant. Mr. Shuck is paying considerable attention to the Creek districts, and has been seeing the voters personally during tire past week He has plainly been making inroads upon Mr. Mullin. and is feeling more eonfi lent than heretofore. Mr. -Shuck's eandidaev is profiling through his per sonal acquaintance of a large number of persons who have had business with the Orphans Court during all the years he : has been in the office as depute, and these almost without exeep ion feel kindly toward him and prefer Lo give him what support they can. His long experience as deputy and his quilifioa tions for the office are also receiving at. tention and are recommending him for the place. Those who have visited his office in recent years are convinced that the system of his book-keeping and the manner in which the records ol the office are kept are excellent, and they realize that his services iiave become indispen sibie in that capacity. Besides his pe culiar fitness for the place, his long ser vice to his party is weighing with the voters, and they understand that Mr. Shuck, although holding subordinate offices, has npyer held a chief office him self. He has now reached that stage in life that if he should fail this time he will probably never aspire again. Mr. Shuck’s arguments are telling with the voters. Mr. Mullin is still pushing ahead. He is a gentleman of many excellent quali ties, popular with the younger element of the voters, and his prominence in party affairs for some years gives him good standing. Mr. Mullin was chair man of the county committee for a time, and under his management and leader ship he alwavs carried the ticket to suc cess. Besides his party record, none questions Mr. Mullin’s ability to fill the place. He is qualified in every respect to satisfactorily perform the dnv.es of the office, and his pleasing address and cordial manner will make him agreeable to all who haye business with him. Mr. Mullin gets around a great deal among the people, and he has now been in the contest for some months, during which time he has received many promises of support. If these now hold good, his friends say he will have no difficulty in securing this nomination. Mr. E. R. Grant, of Midland, is the only Creek candidate for this office. He is a gentleman of the highest repute and standing, and is commanding the sup port of the voter who regards a man’s private life and conduct as some recom mendation for public favor, Mr. Grant has been doing quiet and effective work, acd iris came is now- being discussed among those who will probably win. He is pledged, if elected, to inaugurate a system of conducting the office that will save money to the taxpayers every year, something the other candidates have not touched upon. As retrench ment and economy in public office is now a commendable theme with the taxpay ers, Mr. Grant’s platform has appealed with unusual force to the property owners in favor of his nomination. Mr. Grant expects to receive a large vote in the Creek districts, and with the other aspirants dividing the Cumberland vote, he hopes to win. There is no disputing the fact, that Mr. Grant is gaining right along, and the close of the contest may show that he has been doing systematic work. The other aspirants for Register of Wills are working energetically, and each seems confident of securing a large vote. TEE SHERIFFALTY. The Sheriflalty contest is one of the most difficult to understand. There is a ; great diversity of opinion as to who will win in the race, and every aspirant is confident oi securing the nomination. Mr. McMillan, of Lonaconing, is receiv ing the most encouraging reports. He is a popular gentleman and is making friends every day. There is no objec tion to him anywhere that is worth talking about, and on the other hand ’ they are saying nice things for him. 1 Jack is pretty well known throughout the county, and he will undoubtedly re ceive a very large complimentary vote in Lonaconing. In other sections his , friends say he is particulary strong, and . the greatest confidence exists among all > his friends. ’ The Frostburg contest between Messrs. . Hamilton and Bone is receiving much i attention. Both candidates are working ' hard, and they have the backing of old s time fighters and ex perienced lieutenants, t It is a pretty fight. Reports vary as to s who will be the successful one, one say -1 ing Hamilton, and another Bone, will win. Both are very excellent gentlemen and either if nominated will receive a large vote. Mr. Drum, of Vale Summit, continues his work unceasingly, and his name is mentioned among the probable winners. . It is said he has been so successful in his canvass that enough votes are al ready pledged to him to get the nomi nation. Mr. Anthony Rees is a very formid able candidate. He has been working (- very industriously and there is little > doubt that he will get a good yote. He is well known in the Creek districts, NOT nsriETTTIR^A.L. FROSTBURG, MD„ FRIDAY, AUGUST 95, 1905. and expects a good showing from his old friends and neighbors. Mr. John N, Frantz, of Cumberland, | the present Clerk to the County Com missioners; is very confident that the yoters will select him as their candidate t for Sheriff. Mr. Frantz has proved himself to be a very genial, obliging and competent official in his present office, and those who haye had business with r him are sounding his praises everywhere. ' Mr. Frantz has great expectations from r the Creek districts, and his friends look for a large vote in Cumberland. V Mr. George W. Snyder, of Cumber land, is no new man to the voters. Her • has been in Republican politics for years, • and his old ft tends are standing with him, while many new ones are being en i rolled. He is an experienced cam : paigner, and this is telling to his advan tage. i Mr. J. G. Nickel, of Cumberland is still holding his own. Mr. Nickel has made several trips to the Creek districts, ! and in every case he left an excellent im pression behind him. He is from the South Cumberland District, where the big Republican vote Is polled, and this is aid to be practically solid for him. With a share of the Creek yote Mr. Nickel has no doubt of the result. COUNTY TREASURER SHIP, Although late in coming into the field, Mr. William Atkinson, of Lonaconing, has been making rapid progress in his candidacy for the nomination for County Treasurer. Mr. Atkinson’s ability to fill the office, his Republicanism and long party service, his experience in many business pursuits and his exceptional qualifications haye recommended him to the voters of e\ery district. He is now ge.ting around as much as possible, and will he abte to make a good showing when the vote is counted. On a car the other evening a gentleman to .whom he handed his card, sairL he was glad that Mr. Atkinson is a candinate, as he could not support the other two aspirants and would now certainly vote for him. This is only one of many instances pointing to the possibilities of Mr. Atkinson’s canvass. He is an old soldier, and his comrades are working industriously for him. Mr. Torrls M Twigg, of Cumberland, has been around again within the past week, and has been solidifying nis vote. He e'aims to haye great prospects in Cumberland, and he certainly has made many friends up this way. Mr. Twigg is a young man and makes friends read 'ly, and becomes yery popular with those he meets. Wtiile ro one questions Mr. Holzshu’s competency for the place, there are some who have broken avvav from hint since Mr. WC ugton’s interview came out. The I TOQ slate is so distasteful to the rank niF of five-party these'days+ha®' some good men will suffer through such intimations Mr. Holz-hu, however, is making an earnest and quiet canvass and seems willing to leave it entirely with the people, as he lias not been mak ing any personal solicitation for votes as far as we are able to learn. It is not re ported that Mr. Ho'zshu has made a visit to any district in tire interest of his can didacy as yet, and it is not known wheth er he will do so. CISKRK TO COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. For the nomination of the Clerk to the County Commissioners, Mr. Owen Price, Jr., of Eekhart, seems to he in the lead, with ex-Mayor Lammert, of Frostburg’ a close second. Mr. Angus Ireland, of Lonaconing, is making an energetic canvass, and he Is said, to be making considerable headway, but those who are going to support him do not have much to say about it. He is a cleyer youug man, competent in every way, and will no doubt get a handsome vote in the Lonaconing districts. Mr. Harry Williamson, of Cumberland, has many friends throughout the county, and they believe he is, entitled to their consideration, for many reasons, and th'ere is some evidence at hand that Mr. Williamson has an excellent opportunity. Messrs. James J’. Webster and 11. C. Schilling, of Cumberl and, are still in the race. Mr. Schilling’s chief lieutenant is Mr. Business Reid, and Mr. Schilling will have some hustling to do to get many votes up this way, although his chances are as good as those of any other Cum berland candidate, Mr. Williamson, per haps, excepted. HOUSE OF DELEGATES. There is still a merry war going no among the many aspirants for the House of Delegates The favorites named in this paper last week are still holding their places, and some of them are stronger’ if anything. What purports to be Mr. Wellington’s promised “slate” for the legislative ticket was unofficially announced Satur day. It is said to he as follows: John 11. Shuck, of Cumberland; Joseph B, Stottiemyer, of Orleans; John H. Jones, of Westernport; Robert Hutchinson, of Lonaconing, and William (Tubble) Hensell.of Frostburg. One of these gen tlemen was seen by a representative of this paper, and asked concerning the “slate.” He denied having had any thing to do with its making and said lie had not been consulted. He remarked that he had no objection to being put on Mr Wellington’s slate, but it did not : follow that he would beMr. Welling , ton’s representative it he is elected. He said he desired the support rf all Repub licans and was glad Mr. Wellington would . give him his support, lie said, however, , there were other names on the alleged “slate” that he would not vote for him self. 1 Mr. Will McL. Somerville is one of i the sure winners unless all signs fail. He is making good wherever he goes, and although his modesty prevents him from saying too many nice things for i himself he has many friends who believe 3 he will be away ahead in the running. We have no good reason, after going over all the reports from our representa -1 tives in the several districts, to alter the ■ prediction offered by a gentlemen in last . week’s paper, which gave the following as a winning ticket; Messrs. Will McL. Somerville, of - Cumberland; James Campbell, Jr., of , Frostburg; James G. Fisher, of Shaft, T. ° A. Smith, of Lonaconing, ; and John Mackie, of Westernport. B Mr. Stump, of Cumberland, is begin , ning to look like a winner. I TRANSFER OF REAL ESTATE. , Property Changes and Deeds Recorded .

(What uthers Think i Dick the Comer : A Few Reasons Why Voters Will Support Dick Wliat the People Are Saying About Dick—Voluntary Remarks Regard ing His Candidacy—Many Propesle That He Will Carry the County Whatever appears in this department i given as the individual opinion of the editor I together with such information as comes to I him by observation, interviews and private communications. Nothing in this depart ! ment is paid for by any of the candidates mentioned, nor will payment be expected. This column is legitimately a political-news feature and will not be used to “jolly” any one or to coerce them into patronizing our paid political department. All information received for this department will be regarded aa strictly confidential and we reserve the right to use it or not as the editor himself deems best. Space herein is not for sale at any price.— Editor People continue to talk of Senator Dick’s candidacy. Opinions heard during the week, unsolicited and entirely volun tary, are here given as an indication that the People’s Candidate is growing in popular approval. As last week, every opinion quoted here was unsought, being the spontaneous endorsement by Mr. Dick’s admirers who are going to vote for him, and who are using their influ ences to give him one of the largest votes ever cast for a candidate in a primary election. A number of these opinions gleamed from many, follow: 1 I never voted for Dick, not be - cause I had anything against him, but simply because I am a Democrat, and have always voted the straight Demo cratic ticket. I do not think that the party lines will be drawn very tight at , the next election, especially in the sena torial contest. If I, and several other Democrats of my acquaintance, do not chauge our minds before election Dave will get our votes. Dave is for the miners every time, and we are miners. 2 If I were betting on the result of the election I would lay odds on Dick. We send too many dummies to the Leg- , islature; nonentities who are not capable of forming an opinion ou any matter of public interest. They are simply “me too’s.” Dave Dick is a bright man and a , fluent speaker, and thoroughly eompe- | tent to represent his constituency of work- ( ing people, for Dave was a miner, and ; I’m for him. 3 I don t take my politics from the newspapers. No man can dictate to me how, or for whom, I shall vote. 1 do my j own thinking. Dick has proved in many ( ways that he is the miners' friend- I ( know of no reason why I should vote for i anyone else. Dick suits me all tight, and S he gets my yote, and both my sons will ' vote for him. ‘ t. 4 I was In fqr \ several months, and I was nr ulere twentv-four hours before Dave Dick came to see me,, and every day' either himself, or some member of his family e.ame to me and they never came empty nanded. There are other men in Lona coning who can say the sam<\ I’ll vote for Lick every time. 5 It’s hard to say how tti'ings will go at the primaries. Judging from what I hear, in and out of the mines, it seems to me that Dick bas tLe lead, b.rt as I said before, it’s no use to prophesy unless you know. As far as 1 am concerned my vote goes for Dick, I know of no reason why I shouldn’t vote for him. 6 I'm a Democrat and I propose to vote that ticket if my party puts up a competent man for the Senate, but I’m not hidebound, and if the Democratic candidate doesn’t suit me,' I’ll vote for Dick. I believe that Dick will defeat any candidate we can out up. I don’t know of a man in the county th it stands as well with the miners as Dave Dick. 7 All the world loves a fighter, when he fights a good battle for the right. Dick is a fighter, and he’s putting up a good fight just now. I hope he wins out. I'm no politican, but I’ve got a vote, and it will go for Dick, unless some can show me that there is a better man up for the office. 8 When I went to the Presbyterian Hos pital in Baltimore, in March ’9l, Dave Dick met me at the depot, and I was very glad to set him, for 1 was sick and weak, and I never could have made my way to the hospital alone. It was after the Baltimore fire, and that section of the city around the hospital was in ruins. Dave got me there all right, and either himself or some of his folks came to the, hospital every day. I’m not going to for get that, and I’m sorry that I can’t, give him a hundred yotes. 9 Dick is solid in Lonaconing, in Borden Shaft, Midlothian, “Hard scrabble” and “Pompey,” he’ll get every miner’s vote in those places. I know what I’m talking about. 10 There may be better educated men than Dave Dick running for the Senate, and some of them may be better talkers; but I know that none of them can repre sent the miners better than Dave. We don’t want a drooping lily to represent us at Annapolis. We want a man. 11 Both Sloan and Dick are good friends of mine, and I wish that Sloan was running for some other office so that I could vote for him too. It’s a hard choice for me, hut I can’t go back on Dave Dick, and I am going to vote for him simply because I believe he is the best man for the place. lam under no personal obligations to either candidate; they are both good men. 12 I heard Dick speak Saturdry even ing, I never heard him make an address before, and he explained some things that have been misunderstood. I believe the man is all right, and I think he will get the miner’s vdte. I will vote for him. I will cast my first yote at the next elec tion. My father has always been a Dick ■ man, and so has my oldest brother, but I had heard some things against Dick that r led me to believe that he was not so ■ much for the miners as he pretended to ® be.

I know him as well as any newspaper man knows him, and far better than most of them. I haye lived on this Creek for 36 years, and I know Dick and all his connections. No one can tell me anything about Dave. I’ll vote for him, and I am sure that the great majority of the miners along George’s Creek are for him. There are a few soreheads and‘suckers’ that will vote against him, but their votes wil! not keep him out of the Senate. Dick goes this time.

It is true there are peculiar speci mens of humanity in prisons—cranks, freaks, degenerates and hardened and vicious characters—but so are there all these outside the prisons mixed in with the other people of the world in the dif ferent grades of society. The deliber ate professional criminal, with pecul iar and pronounced characteristics and forming a different type of man and woman, Is too infrequent to constitute a definite class unless he, with many others not in prison, he considered as a member of a diseased class in hu manity. Those who do not agree with this impression and persist in believing that there is a distinct, typical crim inal class must, if they study society and also become familiar with the in mates of our penal institutions, admit that only a small portion of the class are confined therein.—C. E. Ordway in Atlantic.

As soon as a man won one of the medals he would swell up and -get so proud that we’d have to take ft away from him.”—Washington Star. The Turkish. Postman.

When a postman ar rives in a village on muleback he dis tributes the letters in a public place,- giving each his own, and then putting the undelivered ones into the hands of relatives or acquaintances of those to whom they are addressed.

The old Norsemen had a curious and vague tradition of a phantom ship which they called Mannlfual. The French maritime chronicler, Jal, gives an account of her. So likewise does Thorpe in his work on “Northern Mythology.” She was so gigantic that her masts were taller than the highest mountains. The captain rode about on horseback delivering his orders. Sailors going aloft as boys came down respectable middle aged men, and In the blocks about her rigging were din ing halls where they sustained life during their heavenward wanderings. When passing through the strait of Dover on her way northward she stuck, but the captain, with ready in vention, ordered her sides to be lib erally besmeared with soap, and -she slipped through, leaving the cliffs of France and England white forever aft erward. \ Down to within a century ago this gigantic ship was known among Eng lish sailors by the name of 1 the Merry ipun of Dover, but she seems quite to Cave disappeared from the maritime lore of Great Britain. Seamen —- Normandy still believe in her existence and call her the Chasse Froude. They say that she is so immense that it takes her seven years to tack. On one occasion in turning her bowsprit swept away a whole battalion of soldiers from the Dover cliffs while her stem boom was demolishing the forts of Calais.
