that he has an even chance with the house,
proceeds TO try his hand at outguessing
the hazard man with his box Of dice. 1t

presently the stranger PUTS good-sized
bet on the low side, when the man who
manipulates the dice yels:

Then he proceeds to rake in all the chips
from the high and low side.
The stranger demonstrates: That's low,

"Oh, yes; but we only pay on the grand

The stranger gets it through his head
finally that whenever set Of threes come

The visitor soon quits that game to
listen to the song of the roulette man.

No Germans or lriSh-kmeri-
cans on Guard,
As He Has Made Up His Mind that
Tom Keefe Can Get Him All fhe
Votes He Needs.

The political calamity known as
Check-Book Charlie, and familiar to
the trade as Senator Charles B. Far
well, is home from Washington. He
has had long conference with his old
friend Tom Keefe, and is fully per-
suaded that he is still alive.
He never did have much use for the
German Americans, and relied very
strongly on the Irish.
OF late, however, he has shaken the
Irish also, with the exception of Mr..
Thomas Keefe, who still retains his
confidence.
Mr.. Martin J. Russell, one of the
ablest political writer's in America,
thus sums up, in the Times, the results
of the Senator's return:
Senator Farwell has returned, and
his stocking is empty of Federal spoils.
From the Christmas tree nothing worth
the while will be plucked for the
boys He admits that the outlook is
as gloomy as the weather, but lays the
blame entirely upon the President,
who, in the role of Santa Claus, is a
dismal failure These will be sorry
holidays for Senator Farwell. He may
drink pottles deep himself; he may
have under his own roof tree the tradi-
tional Yule log; the mistletoe and the
holly may decorate his own banquet
board, rich with the plum buildings
and all the CHEEKY Christmas, but the
boys are still shivering in the cold.
They are cOmfOrtless, and they look
upon Senator Farwell as the pseudo
statesman responsible for their misery.
1t is to no purpose that he shifts
the blame on Harrison. They look
to him. He has no business in their
view to be at outs with the administra-
ton. He ought to be within striking

this essential particular, of what value
is he? He may cherish hope that he
will be returned to the Senate but as
he has failed in what is regarded by
party workers as requirement Of
craftsmanship, what good is he?
There will be no green Christmas
for Farwell or his adherents, but there
may be a fat political church-yard in
which his tombstone will be the most
conspicuous. The gentiles still hold,
occupy, and possess the heritage of the
faithful, and though Farwell may
blame the situation on the President
the boys blame it on Farwell, and only

THE CHICAGO GAMBLING TRUST.

An organization not duly incorporated
under the State laws is the Chicago Gam
bling Trust, an association whose aim is
the better protection of gamblers and gam

showed itself last winter. Later. the
process of incubation went on. until Just

the thing was Matched and growing Justify.
This ttust is in no sense syndicate. 1t
rises above that, inasmuch as it shapes the
policy for syndcates, and, when desirable,
wipes them out OF existence.
At The head OF this hdeous monster is
one John Condor, a citizen of Chicago long
and unfavorabIv known to the police.
Close to Condor in the management Of the
trusts affairs is George Hankins also
well-known taxpayer. Associated with
these are other we'll known people VIII sell

Wisconsin Butter.

Wisconsin, for instance, produces an

ter, says Hoard's Dairymau. Not more
than six or eight million pounds cap be
classed as first-class; the balance goes
into the general category of ordinary
farm butter. What is the matter with
it? The milk as it came from the COW
was, as rule, all right. Clearly, then,
it is the judgment that handled that
milk after it left the COW, that made the
butter and then sold sold it, that is to
blame for the wretched result. What
is the reason that these farmers and
their wives are content to go along
year after year doing such unprofit-
able work? Simply lack of good dairy
Judgment, that is all. In the first place
a vast majority have no judgment OF
what constitutes real fine market bnt-
ter. A good was to get that judgment
would be to send to Chicago or some
other good butter market and buy a
small package of gilt-edge butter. such
as brings the highest market price, and
set to work to seriously study the color,
style of package. grain and texture, and
above all the flavor. There is just
where the pinch comes. The taste OF
the farmer or his wife may be suited
with their own butter, but the market
taste is not. A little study like this, at
small cost, will correct lifetime of err
rOneOuS notions.
