M u lti Hafld, sultan of Morocco, was
• born gambler. While be was still
sultsn the French resident-general In
Morocco gave 4 party in bis honor and.
knowing the inonarcb'a passion for
gambling, organized a baccarat game
While M ulai Hafld was winning, a
British newspaper man named Loris
who was losing, said: “ Yon do wrong
to take that money. It's against th.
teachings of the Koran.**
That s<
whriled the sultan that be was on tlx
point of giving back his winning».,
when he saw nearby the French chief
justice, a recognized authority on
Mussulman law. T e l l ifle,” said the
sultan, “ whether It Is against the
Koran to take this money.** The jus
’ tlee remained silent a moment before
replying. “Your majesty, If you have
played a straight game, you cannot
touch thia money because it Is mere
hazard that made you win and It Is
forbidden by the Koran to take ad
vantage of hazard. But If you— how
shall I say?—forced your luck— I
mean, cheated a little— you may pul
the money In your pocket because you
w..n It by your skill and cleverness.’
The sultan smiled.
“Thou art the
greatest and most learned Judge 1
have ever met," and he pocketed the
money.
Oldtime Wedding Cake
Find» Stout Defender ___________
Whatever the moderns may think of
the news that the wedding cake Is
abandoning Its Gothic complexities of
decoration, It is certain that one rath
er famous cook would have been hor
rified at the change. Headers of “Pen-
dennls" w ill remember that when
M. Alclde Mlrobolant wished to sig
n ify bis undeclared passion for Blanche
Amory, he sent up to her a special
dinner, the dishes of which were de
signed from beginning to end to sym
bolise her maidenly virtues and bis
own admiration for them. He wound
up with “au Ice of plombiere and
cherries . . .
in the form of
two hearts united with an arrow, on
which I had laid, before It entered, a
bridal veil In cut paper, surmounted
by a wreath of virginal orange llow
era.” I f Mousleur Mlrobolant could
do so much with a mere lee, to what
heights would his symbolism have
soared In the architecture of a wed
ding cake? It Is d e a r that he would
have had no sympathy with a cake
which depended on a classical sever
ity of line for Its effect.— Manchester
Guardian.

C h e m ica l Affinity
This la the attraction between dif
ferent chemical elements which causes
them, when brought together under

compoondn. For Instance, If oxygen
and bydrogen are brought together
under the right conditions they w ill
unite In the proportion of two atoms
ot hydrogen to one of oxygen, which
forms water. The a.traction known as
“chemical affinity” is supposed to be
