;' A LAW THAT COUNTS. 1
They ave an anti-gambling' law up
In Xitontana that counts for something.
Moreover the1 law has stood the consti
tutional tests In the courts, and it ap
pears to have become. the settled fact
that its rigor will be na bar to its ob
servance and enforcement. .
Like antf-gambllng ; enactment In
rrmny other states-.'thls one In Montana
gives the loser at the game right to
stie ,fi" therestltutlon of .his money;
but thrf 'Montana law. extends that
right to dependent wives and children,
and put the Montana gambler up
against a different game than he ha
ever played before,. This third-party
Ight to sue is. b. complexity In legal
restrictions that makes it extremely
difficult -for the professional gambler
to continue In business .' and reckon
upon the value of his assets from day
to day.
Tills feature of the law has, already
been invoked. A man at Fort Benton
got Into a game with two others and
lost 6CM). The loser was not disposed
to welch; but he was married, and hit
wife considered, that his family needed
that money, She brought suit for it,
aad for $1000 exemplary damages,
which the law permits. She got judg
ment for the whole amount. The twit
ter went to the supreme court, and
the Judgment was affirmed.
For drastid' legislation that Is ef
fective, this Montana act seems to
have eevry requirement. It Is an act
that will admirably suit in any state.
In the double action feature and the
additional right to collect damages
over and above the amount Involved
In play, it Is a law that-simply puis

WONDERFUL POSTER
Drome nas successtully withstood the weather. The poster represents Mr. Chjrle? Jv
The clock-like system by which the
fleet weighed anchor and swung
around with the tide to begin ' the
cruise, was followed on the return.
The Connecticut first swung Into posi
tion, taking her old berth, about 800
yards o."f Ud Point, In the line of the

hundred und fifty yards apart all the
ships of the first squadron were an
chored In single column, and then be
gan the formation of the second col
umn! with the flagship Louisiana at
the head. Her position was off the
Connecticut's starboard, and slightly
astern, the two columns being about
in ynr.Js apart
When tne third squadron had pass
ed, the Mayflower lifted anchor and
followed slowly at a distance. Some
time was necessarily consumed, owing
to the current- In the Roads, caused by
the tide. In the ships settlin glnyj their
berths. When this was completed.
upon the flash of signals, from the
Connecticut to the Mayflower, Ad
miral Sperry personally greeted the
president and secretary of the navy,
nd announced lhat he stood ready to
report the end of his cruise. . This re
port was then made In person, Admir
al Arnold being accompanied to the
Mayflower In launches by the three
other rear admirals of the fleet and
the ship captains.
Following the president's reception
of the officers, the Mayflower started
back to Washington and the officers
and men, as many as could be spared
at one time, rushed ashore, most of
them to Old Point, to greet the mem
bers of their, families and friends who
had come from various parts of the
country to welcome them home. The
other officers will be given this tem
porary shore leave In relays of about
one-fourth of the number on each
ship at one time, until all have had
the round. After that,, they will be
granted such liberty as they can be
tpared for, until the ships proceed to
their home yards for docking and re
pairs.
The successful completion of thr
cruise without noteworthy accident oi
untoward incident, from either a naval i
or political point of view. Is regarded
by all nations as history-making.
Never before has. any battle command
made such a long and practically con
tinuous voyage., Never. before has any
fleet circumnavigated the globe,
whether In one or separate voyages.
Never before has any armada of any
of the countries of the world visited
o many ports, at sui h great distances,
In so many countries, and under so
many flags. Air! never was any navil
command received v.lth such universal
manifestations of friendly feeling, as
marked the progress of the American
fleet at every one of It two-score stops
on the cruise around the world.

AMU
E. D. Selder this morning suffered
a very painful accident while freezing
cream at his candy store. But for the
fact that the gasoline engine which
customarily propels the freezer was
out of order, his hund would have
been ground to bits. As it was, the
thumb, first and second fingers of the
left hand were, badly lacerated, the
knuckles bruised and the fleshy part
of his hand torn in severat places.
With the motive power disabled, he
and Mr. Harvey, his assistant, were re
volving the freezer by hand, when in
brushing away a foreign article from
the cogs, the canvas glove on his left
hand was caught and the member
pulled Into the gears. Mr. Harvey
stopped the machine and reversed the
machine sufficiently to free the hand.
The ends of the fingers and one thumb
are crushed, but It Is not likely that
amputation will .become necessary.
For several weeks, at least, the candy
maker will have to desist from further
work. r i.
