There were faro, keuo, roulette and lu one corner a table at which two men with heaps ofttnoney before them were throwing dice. I noticed that this table was not improvised, like the other furniture of the place. It was of polished black walnut and ornamented. One of the. men throwing dice was a hk knmrkeil.

I looked on the game for awhile and was astonished at the way the dice rolled for the plainsman's adversary. I bad heard of loaded dice and the skill with which they could Ih thrown, but I had never dreamed of anything like this. It seemed that the redheaded man could do will) tliein as be II Red.

I could not conceive, but while I was racking my brain to discover the plainsman had lost several thousand dollars, and the pile before him had been reduced to nearly nothing. While In tnnt country 1 carried no valuables. In my troosern pocket I had a silver watch worth perhaps $5.

What was my astonishment to seethe needle vibrate feverishly, and when it settled.

Instead of pointing to what I had supposed was north. It pointed due east. The men at the table were so Immersed in their game thai I did not ask them where the north pole lay. but turned to a man behind me. He told me it was where I supposed it was.

Here was new food for thought. I looked at the table ami saw that under Its top there was an Inclosed space about a food square. I wondered why a place like that should bo lu a dice table. Then Ii occurred to me that there was something lu it to influence the dice. I'roia that I argued that this something nlxo influenced niy therefore It must be magnetic.

The order was obeyed, and I iiimle the examination. Inside the table, besides the magnet, was a battery connected by insulated wires running Inside a leg of the table, with a button about midway down. Ou one face of the dice were metal disks. When the gambler wished these disks to fall face on the table he would press the button with his knee, turn on a current, and the magnet drew them down. Without the current they fell by chance.

Over the disks was 'a thin I coating the color of Ivory. The plainsman kept one eye on the man he covered, while with the other he renpproprlated nil the money he had lost.

Taking the lead In the march' toward better conditions for women who work, the Washington legislature has passed the minimum wage bill for women, and the mothers' pension bill. Hoth will soon become a law, having been advocated by Governor Lister. The minimum wage bill provides for an industrial welfare commission of five members, which shall investigate all Industries employing women, and determine a fair minimum wage, sufficient to give tho women employes a decent living. "Women Jn this state will not be brought face to face with the choice of hunger or selling their honor to some vile procurer," said Senator Piper after the bill was passed. "It proper should safeguard our women, for If we degrade them, we degrade- the coming generation, and then the, end of our reign as leaders among the progressive peoples of the world Is In sight." Enemies of the bill who say that If wages for women are Increased to the basis of 12 a week suggested In Illinois, women will be replaced by men In ninny trades, were told that this would be a good thlnir, by supporters of the measure.
