THE RISE AND FALL OF A CHICAGO SPORT Chicago is no better and no worse than an other large city. In fact, if one were to take size into considera tion, Chi ca(n would not be found to be much worse than the major ity of the village! throughout the en tire country. The wickedness of any great city is grout by o o in p a r i so n with fhe Filial ! r town s, beoaui e only the vice, and not the ilifTen nee Ths G ' (--h ' on Lvery in population, is Corner. compared. But people throughout the entire country Ken) to think that they have placet! both their lives and their repu tations in jeopardy if they get with in hailing distance of the western me tropolis, while the truth is that nine times out of ten they could Qnd as much wickedness to the square foot in their own village! as they could And In Ohicago. 1 have friends residing ill the east, who Started on a trip to the west some time ;igo, and when I heard of where they had gone 1 eluded them for not having called upon me while In Chi cago on their way west, supposing, of course, they had passed through the city, as it luy within their most direct route. "But we did not pass through Chi cago on our way west,'" said the letter which I received in reply. "We trav eled west by way of Springfield und Quincy, so as not to expose Harry to the wickedness of Chicago." Harry is a H-year-old son whose life has been spent in a village in New York state. He missed seeing the sights of a great city because his parents were afraid of exposing him to the contam inating influence of the t-rty's wicked ness. The sights he would have seen on every corner; the wickedness he would have had to search for. But the incident illustrates the character of Chicago's reputation, whether.it Is de served or not. About a Good Vonnar Maa. That crime exists in Chicago in large quantities is true; that it entraps many a brilliant and promising young yuan in its nets and carries him down toulifeof debauch ery and ruin is equally true. But so it does every where, either in village or city. The number that are caught in Chicago is greater because there are more to catch. The w a y s in which these young Was on Examplery Young Man. men are caught, in which the Chicago sport is born, are numerous. This shall be the true story of but one incident that will illustrate but one way. At the time our story opens, as th fiction writers would say, our hero, il such lie may be called, was but 11 years of age. In fact, our story deals with but five years of his life, from 17 to 22, but in that five years lie lived a lifetime. This young man was the son of mod erately well-to-do parents. The father was working on a salary for a large con cern in Chicago, but they had never known the pinch of poverty. At 17 the son had secured the best schooling the public schools of Chicago could give him. Be had learned something of the .hree K's and had dabbled in the fads, and when graduation day in the high school came he felt that he was equipped for bis life struggle. So much for bis education. Morally he was an exemplary young man. Not of the extremely good kind, but good enough so that no one need have been ashamed to associate with him. Be took an interest in church work in the suburban town in which he lived, though he was not a church member. And then at 17 he stepped out of school into the counting room of a big grain commission- company and begun bis life work. Road That Led to Rain. The employer of this young man lived in the same suburban town, and 41 i . . , iney roue 10 uu fS Z city on the same train. The em ployer rode in the jTJ smoking car, that JQ he might enjoy an a f t e r-breakfast cigar and play a sociable game, of cards for small stakes with con- J genial friends. The ' 1 j i.. I ) young man rode iu the same car, that he might, when oc- Th First 8 tap Down- c a s i o n offered, ward. show an interest in his employer. Before the first month had passed be had lost his interest in his employer, but continued to ride in the smoker, that be might enjoy the fumes from an after-breakfast cigarette and watch the card game. When the employer no ticed tbe cigarette, he advised the young man to throw it away and ac cept a cigar which he offered. Tbe young man accepted tbe advice and the cigar. The employer also called his attention to a few good hand which be held, and the young man showed the WM U 1 -fm : "'"riHi V 1 if . j b . i desired interest. The subject of cards permitted a friendly familiarity on the part of the young man with his em ployer at the oflice, and he talked glib ly of "full houses, three of a kind, tluslits, jack pots," and other terms iignlflctnt of poker, and his fellow em ployes envied his opportunities. Mien there cajue a day when busi ness called the employer to Buropi to be gone for several weeks. 'I lie nest morning his three old business friends tilt disconsolately in, the smoking cai w ishing for a fourth hand at curds, The third morning after the departure ol the employer the young man occupied the vacant seat and played, as herald, for his employer. That morning he won. and at noon he spent his winnings Tor u better luncheon than he had been accustomed to, Thai was not the first step In a down ward course, but the second. The first had been the smoking car to which be had not been accustomed, and the en couragement of his emploj cr. Well lcnrnci) hessott, fly the time the employer returned from Europe the card game with the young man as a participant hud b c o m e a regular thing' each morn ing, Hut the young I mau was not sure th.it the employer Would approve of his course In hav- Ing played for him, and did not men tion it. When t h e em ployer took his ac customed place iu t h c game the morning after his return the young Full Fledged 3port at Twenty. mau held buck until one of the friends asked if he was not "coining in," and offered Sn explanation. The employ er told Ii i tn to "conic in" if he liked, and the young man "came." That morning the employer won, ami it took half of the young man's salary for the week to pay his losses. That day he ate no lunch at all, but his pride would not permit him to tell the other men what his employer ill read;, knew, though he thought noth ing nor cared nothing of the circum tance, and the young man continued to play, and to often go without his luncheon and other necessities and luxuries which his salary should have brought him. The employer was not tt sport. Be was a respected business mini to whom a game of cards was a pastime, and who cared nothing for the small amounts he won or lost, but he had unconsciously taught the young mnn to love a game of chance. His church ' impunions were forgotten, and in their place he made friends with the class who knew all too well the paths of crime, and these he followed. His Saturday afternoons were spent at the race tracks, at the gambling houses and the pool rooms, his even ings at the theaters devoted to the prize ring. Starting from a game of cards in i smoking car he had, in two years' time, become a sport' in all that the name implies in Chicago. Changed Ohfrki for Itrlpe. By the end of three years the well trained boy of 17 had become the sport of 20, but in that i. Ntime lie had risen -s .. . j -Si trust in me House I worked, and con siderable sums of money were en trusted to h i m. The card games on the train were con tinued, but the em ployer knew of none of the other vices to which the Wearing a Convict's young man had be Qarb in Joint. come addicted. While the em ployer traded on the board of trade it was always for customers, never for himself, nor did be know that, the young man whom he had raised from not but much more than an oflice boy to a position of trust was interested 1 in the rise and fall of grain. I "liny wheat for a rise to-day," was the instructions the young man heard 1 lie employer give to one of the firm's buyers. Be knew not what was be hind those instructions, but be had confidence in the judgment of his em ployer. Be also needed ready cash. His accounts were $5,000 short; $5,000 of hi employer's money was the price he had paid for becoming entrapped in the nets of crime. Another thou sand would not be missed for a few days more, and with it he bought margins on wheat for a rise. Thp Insrf ructions hi pmnlnvpr hml , given bis buyer were those trans mitted by him from a customer and did not express bis own views of the market. Be did not expect wheat tj rise that day, and it did not. When the board closed and the time of set tlement came the whole terrible tale was brought to view. That day it lacked but six weeks of being five years from the day when he had first ridden to the city in the smoking car with his employer and witnessed a game of cards for money. At the end of that six weeks the young man's name had been ex changed for a number, and he was wearing a convict's garb at Joliet. WRIOHT A. PATTERSON.

A woman can t; ilk freely to I wo man when it is revolting to relate her private troubles to a man. Many women MitTVr in silence and drift along' from bad to worse. Know ing full well that they should have Immediate assistance, but u natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examination of even their family physician. It is unneces sary. Without money or price yon can consult a woman, whose know ledge from actual experience is unequaled. Women suffering from any form of 1 female weakness are invited to freely communicate with Mrst Pinkham at Lynn, M ass. All letter. are received, opened, read and answered by women only.

NOTES AND COMMENTS, This lussou takes us to khe close of Jesus' lirst year of public ministry, De cember, A. D. 37. This marks the close of that period known as the Jltdean ministry. For convenience we "ill fol low in the sttuly of the text and context the following outline: Introductory John titt-86, 4:1-3 Jesus and the Samaritan Woman ... vs 4-9 The Water of Lift vu. 10-U Jesus Heads the Woman's Itiart .vs. 16-18 True Worship vs. 1V-2I Jesus ihe. Messiah vs. ?.-;; Jesus and His Disciples vs. i.7, ;il-M Preaching to the Samaritans vs. i!8-3u Introductory. All through the early ministry of Jesus thus fur John the itajitist had been preaching and baptiz ing in Judea. Jesus' preaching attract ed large crowds. John observed this, and said: "He must increase, but I must decrease." It wus a noble self-renuncl-ution on the part of John that lie could see that it was his measure of success that he could have helped attract the people to Jesus, while his own follow ing wus fuiluig oh. Hut it opened up a situation of which the pharisces (ni ways bitter) were not slow in tuking advantage. They tried to awaken jeal ousy and conflict between thedlsciplei of John and those of Jesus. John's work, however, was not yet done, so Jesus, with a practical w isdom disciples of our later day would do well to study nnd imitate depart! from Judea and turns toward Galilee, Jesus and the Samaritan Woman. Travellr g through Samaria Jesus came to Jacob's well just without the city of Sychnr. Here He stopped to rest, send ing nis disciples on into the city to huy food. While they were gone there came a woman to draw water from the well. The request of Jesus for a drink sur prised the woman. A strict Jew would not have asked any favor of n Samnrl '.cn. Much less would a strict Jew have mude such a request the way for open ing a conversation. Undoubtedly Jesus was tired und thirsty, yet we may Im agine that He used just this opportun ity in just this way for winning the woman's heart. "How is it," she said, "that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria?" The Water of Life. The question not only showed the woman's surprise, but indicated a willingness to talk with the stranger. So Jesus followed up His ad vantage, and said: "if thou knewest the gift of God, nnd w ho it is that salth to thee, (Jive me to drink; thou WOUld est have asked of Him, and He would have given thee living water." That ex pression, "(lift of God," is very signili cr.nt, meaning theMessiah orC'nrist and His salvation. Hut the Samaritan wom an did not realize this hidden signifi cance any more than she did the double meat. ing Jesus put into those words "living water." She only thought of the water that is necessary to sustain physical life. "Sir," she exclaimed, "thou hast noth ing to draw with, and the well is deep." Jtsus had to open to her mind His real and hidden meaning. "The water that I shall give him," lie said in reply, "shall be in bim a well of water spring ing up into everlasting life." Jesus Reads the Woman's Heart. Jesus would not have completed His mission to this woman had He stopped with this truth. He must convince her of her sinfulness; show her the need of a change of heart. This He did by the very gentle reminder of her past life, M s, and even of her present living in sin. True Worship. Naturally now came the idea of worship; but where? In the holy mount of the Samaritan, or at Jerusalem? Jesus showed her that the infinite God is not confined by place or circumstance. "God is a Spirit; and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and, in truth." Jesus the Messiah. This Samaritan woman had heard of the Messiah, and after what Jesus hod said, it took only His "I am He" to send her back to tbe city to there proclaim the man "who told me all things that ever I did." AFTERTHOUGHTS. The food of the body will not fed the life of the soul. Jesus offers tbe water of life to the sin-stained, thirsty soul. A chance meeting by the well yet only God knows how much of chance it was. In tbe providence of God the next one we meet will be one from whom we may learn or one whom we may help. Prejudice should never stand In the way either of giving or receiving help. Holy mounts count not so-much with Bod aa holy momenta. r .0 mm NA.fi- r;.('it:' lust . It. fry, Dux huvitti th.
