GAMES OF CHANCE 
The Watch and Ward Society has 
sent out the following letter :— 
Punch boards and all devices are 
illegal by which a bonus is given by 
chance even through full value is giv- 
en in every instance. Recently some 
candy manufacturers have been push- 
ing their sales by putting out punch 
boards by which on the payment of 
5 or 10 cents one puches out a num- 
ber, which if a lucky number, gives 
the purchaser an extra amount of 
candy. 
On some of these boards the pur- 
purchaser received for his 10 cents a 
number is obtained. In others, though 
each time the purchaser receives 
something, it is clearly of less value 
than the amount paid. There never 
was any question that these devices 
are illegal. . 
With some boards, however, each 
purchaser received for his 10 cents a 
box of candy which it was claimed 
was of the full value of 10 cents but 
a larger box of candy if a lucky num- 
ber was obtained, and those putting 
out these boards did so claiming that 
as “in any event he gets his money’s 
worth,” they are not illegal. 
This Society, however, claimed 
that even these boards were illegal, 
for Chapter 214 of the Revised Laws, 
Section 7 says that all methods are 
illegal ‘“‘whereby such chance or de- 
vice is made an additional inducement 
to the disposal or sale of said prop- 
erty.” 
Now on an inquiry from General 
Whitney, Chief of the District Police, 
to the department of the Attorney 
General of Massachusetts, the opinion 
has just been handed down (July 25- 
th) that all such devices are undoubt- 
edly illegal even where full value is 
given in every instance, but with an 
extra value in some instances deter- 
mined by chance. 
THE RuLInNG PAssIoN 
“Am I badly hurt, doctor?” 
“No, no; it’s a pretty severe sprain, 
that’s all. When you turned suddenly 
and ran into the fire hydrant you seem 
to have slipped off the curb and twist- 
ed your ankle. You'll be all right in 
a week or so.” 
“Go ahead.” 
“Won’t you please have the papers 
say that the accident was due to my 
French thigh heels ?”—Cleveland Plain 
Dealer. 
Mrs. Newlywed—Don’t you love 
our new minister? 
Young Widow—Love him? Why 
I adore him. It took him fifteen les- 
sons to teach me how to swim! 
TALKED LIKE A TICKER 
She had sent a telegram and was 
waiting for an answer. Suddenly the 
peculiar halting click of the receiving 
machine sounded in the office, and 
she said to her companion. 
“That’s from Charlie, I know; I 
can tell his stutter. 
Howell—Edison says that he sleeps 
too much. 
Powell—Well, it isn’t his fault; he 
has invented enough things to keep us 
awake.
