The action of the managers of the Cecil
county fair in returning to the gambling
fakirs the amounts paid for privileges
secured through misrepresentation and
expelling the swindlers from the fair
grounds, is worthy of emulation and
deserves praise. The presence of these
gamblers at the recent State fair at Dover
was disgrace to the occasion and q
severe loss to the many dupes whose
dollars yielded to their credulity. In the
future, the State fair management should
follow the example set by Cecil county
and deny these perombulating land
sharks admission to the grounds, even AT
the sacrifice of the liberal premiums they
pay for their valuable franchises.

THE DIVINE WAS A SMoKER.-A dis

to a country town not long ago to lecture:
He arrived early in the afternoon, and all

five minutes as very great and very saint
ly man.
He went into drug store, and in tones
that froze the young blood of the clerk be-
hind the counter, said:
"Young-man-do-yo

"I'm sorry, but learned the habit young,
and haven't been able to quit it yet"

Inent of a shade of the awful solemnity of
his voice, "can you tell me where can get
