Gambling in Hiph Life

Some little excitement is going on in
London about a vice which threatens
to become fashion in the highest cir
cles OF society, and which has already
cost some serious scandals. Ladies' Of
high rank and great wealth, for lack of
something better to do, have set the ex-
ample Of gambling at cards for LARGE
stakes, and IN one or two apparently
decorous drawing rooms sums OF money
have changed owners of appalling

Macready's Way.

In volume of "reminiscences of Mac
r ady, the actor, an extract is published
from letter to a friend, in which he
describes the method he pursued to
perfect himself in his art A line in the
opening of one of the cantos of Dante
made deep impression on him in sug-
costing the dignity of repose. In his
practice he adopted all the modes he
could devise to acquire the power of
exciting himself into the widest emo
lions of passion, at the same time
eoerclng his limbs to perfect stiffness.
He would lie down on the floor. or stand
straight against a wall, or get bis arms
within a bandage, and so pinioned and
confined recite the most violent pas
saGes of Othello, +" Lear, f" or &" Mac
beth. He would speak the most pas
slonate bursts of rage under the SIM
posed constraint of whispering them in
the ear OF him or her to whom they
were addressed, thus keeping both
voice and gesture in subjection TO the
real impulse of tho feeling. Such was
Macready's process. Nowadays there
are scores of powder banners who couId
teach him an easier trick to gain the
applause of the multitude.

Latest Monetarv Advices.

If you have any business with 4 bank
put 1t off until 3 o'clock, or if possible
little later, as it looks a little more
busIness-like to rush in Just as the
bank IS closing.
Never put stamps on your checks be-
fore you set to the bank, but give the
teller two cents and ask him to lick II
and cancel it for you the teller expects
to hex all the stamps and it is a source
OF disappointment to him when people
insist on doing it themselves. and will
save him buying his lunch.
In deposltlng money, try and get it
upside down and wrong end foremost
so that the teller may have little exer-
clse IN Strengthening it up before count
ing it.
It is best not to take your bank book
with you, but call at another time to
nave IL entered. You can thus make
two trips to the bank where one would
answer.
II d check is made payable to your
oroer, be careful not to indOrse it before
you hand 1t to the teller, but let him
return it to you and wait while Won
lndorse 1t; this helps pass the time
and is pleasure and a relief to the
teller.
You can generally save time when
making a deposit by counting vour
money down to the teller, and you can
nearly always count more speedily and
correctly than he can.
If you make deposit of one hundred
dollars and give check for fifty, it is a
good thing to call frequently at the
bank and ask how your account stands,
as IL lmpresses the officers fayorably
with your business qualifications.
Never keep any record of when your
notes fall due, and then if thew are
protested censure the bank for not
giving You notice.
Always date your checks ahead it is a
neyer-faliing sign that you keep a good
balance IN bank, or if you do not wish
1t generally known that you are doing
a good business, do not deposit your
money until about the time You expect
your check will be in.
A strict observance of the foregoing
rules Will make your accounts desirable
for any bank, and make YOU general
favOrite with all tho bank officers

The Great American Desert
A Good Country to Stay Away From
Better Go south.

/
Better Go south.
There has been much talk about the
great west. There has been much talk
about the capacity of it to sustain mil
! lions and tens of millions OF inhabitants.
| Ont OF 1t Were to be manufactured many
states like Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
| This was all very well while the popu-
lar Ignorance prevailed IN regard to the
region of country between western
| Missouri and Kansas and the Rocky
! mountains. But late DEVELOPMENTS
have shown US what it is. It is several
| thousand feet above the sea. It is
! therefore, IN its latitude very cold. IT
IS treeless. But worst of all, it Is de-
| prlved of any water irrigation That is
a primary necessity of life. Without it
| life cannot exist. These pacific plains.
! extending from western Kansas to the
| Rocky mountains, are destituted of II
! The inference, therefore, is that that i'm
| mense territory can never be made in
habItable to any large extent. It is the
great merican Desert. Some portions
OF 1t may be male available, as Colo
RADIO and Nevada, for example, as min
ing districts for gold and silver. But
IN Its great extent it is a barren waste.
There will be no new Ohio. Indiana or
Illinois west of Missouri and Kansas
This is fact that should be understood |
by the people, not only living in the
states, but IN the territories beyond |
What IS called the great west is a myth
1t is a delusiOn which is leading tens |
and hundreds of thousands Of peopIe |
yearly to their destruction.
No man IN Ohio, Kentucky. Indiana |
or Illinois should leave their fertile /
plains and their advanced civilization
for the prOblematicaI chances that !
await them IN Idaho and Colorado
The great American Desert lies beyond |
the Mississippi. 1t Is safe to say that +!
one-thlrd of its expanse, from physical
causes, can never be within the reach
or the resources of man.
Therefore, Let the cry of the great
west cease. We must go south. There
IS to be found the best and most pro-
dlctive land on this continent. It is TO
be found with great improvements at
almost the price of the barren lands in
the west sold by the government with
out any improvements. Take Virginia,
for instance : If her old, vermont
lands were agriculturally renovated
and improved, she could better support
five times the population that she now
does, and that is an ilIusration of all
the southern states. This increase in
population in the next fifty years will
go south and not west. It is bound TO
do so by manifest destiny Cincinnati
