The Queens Lack OF Consideration.

It must be whispered that the chief lady of
the realm is not on all occasions the most con-
siderate OF companions. Besides her disre-
gard for the feelings of others in respect TO
icy apartments, she is apparently unaware
that her ladies in waiting are Ike ordinary
mortals, capable Of bodily fatigue. They
must always be within earshot always ready
to reproduce the daily papers from which
every paragraph which might prove diStaste-
full to their sovereign has previously been
carefully removed and to read aloud stand
ing for any length Of time French and Ger
man as well as English books are discussed in
the presence Of the royal circle after dinner,
when the queen Is not feeling inclined for
music, and woe betide the maid who shows
any sign Of failing strength. Many ladies
have indeed proved physically unequal to the
tasks thus imposed upon them and have been
dismissed without further ado.
The queen is, as may be imagined stern
mentor in small matters as in great. Her dis
like to the ways and manners of the modern
English woman is very evident, and only
recently has she allowed her ladies to indulge
in such vaniUies as ''fringes," or to dis
port themselves in listers or other outdoor
gear displaying masculine cut To drive a
italy manly privilege, and Princess Beatrice,
who now revels in the pastime, had, l believe,
hard fight to obtain her mothers permission

Not long ago, to my knowledge, a pretty
little maid Of three summers, the child of one
of her favorite young friends, was summoned
TO Windsor to take tea with her majestys
grandchildren. The proud mother had dressed
her tiny daughter in a sashless but pictur-
esque Kate Greenaway frock-a new tangled
attire which did not seem to find pleasure
with her majesty, for she remarked to the
nurse on parting with her: Maggie is a nice
little girl, but the next time she comes to see
me she must wear 4 sash. London Letter.

There is fine painting In tnedrawirg room
Of Mrs. John B. Henderson, the wife of the
ex-senator from Missouri, and the present
head of tie American delegation to the Inter
national American conference, that has a bit
of story connected with it. 1t represents
small boy on his way TO school, stopping be-
fore wall gandy with illustrations Of com
ing menagerie. Right under his eyes is
stern bulletin of the provisional government
OF France, but he looks beyond and sees only
the painted elephants and giraifes. His book
strap hangs loose, ne has pushed back his cap
from MS olond curls, and stands with mouth
open and hands stuffed in his pockets. In one
corner is the authors name, "'Achilie-Fould. :"
Mrs. Henderson saw the pain ting at the Paris
salon and at once negotiated for its purchase
she was authorized by the artist to make the
preliminary contract. She named the sum
that would purchase the picture. Mrs Hen
derson readily agreed, and as the visitor was
about to leave the house, beshought herself
that she would like to know something of the
history of her new purchase.
''Who is NJ Achiile-Fould!' queried she.
'iAn artist Of great repute,'' said the other
'Ieung or old?'
''0f middle age"
"Iias he exhibited in the salon before?n
'Yesn
That was the extent Of the conversation
Later it was found necessary to have the art
ist himself sign the contract and give a re-
ceipt, as it could not be done by proxy. Mrs.
Henderson sent for him and was surprised
one morning to have pretty girl, seemingly
"a, ushered into her apartment.
81 was expecting NJ. Architectural. Can
never see him! DO you perhaps come from
himg'
II am NJ. Achille Fould," was the reply
az use mans name SO that 1 will be paid
higher for my work"
Il am glad you are NJ. Architectural, in
stead of a middle aged artist, as l antici-
pated, said Mrs. Henderson, because there
will be much more time for the development
Of your genius. But you made a mistake in
thinking an American would not pay as
much for good work from you as from
man. l should have paid moro if you had
not deprived a woman of the honor of seeing
a womanS name on that painting"
The pretty lite artistic accepted the kindly
scolding and told her that she was not the
only woman artist in Paris who took that

RAISING =. FAMILY,

The snapper has its home in streams and
ponds Every female lays at least twenty
eggs, but they will lay as many as thirty.
She goes some distance from the water when
she gets ready to deposit her eggs, which she
does along about the middle of June. She
digs perpendicular hole foot deep, and
big enough for her to get into and complete
her nest building, which she does by excavat-
ing lateral tunnel from the bottom of the
surface hole. This tunnel will be foot or so
long. If she gets her nest completed In the
forenoon of the day she commenced 1t, she
viii lay her eggs IN the tunnel right away;
but if 1t is afternoon when the nest Is ready
she goes baci. to her retreat il the water and
waits until the next day. She always de-
posts her eggs il the forenoon. She Is par
ticular about her nest, too, for some reason,
and will frequently dig three or four holes
before she gets one 20 suit her. After her
eggs are laid she covers them and fills the
hole up with dirt and snooths the surface
down with great care. The eggs hatch in
ten DAYS, and the tdrtlets At once dig their
way out OF the ground and start for the
water as fast as their little legs will carry
them, which is az the rate of about mile an
hour.

People Who Rent Property to Gamblers
Liable for Every Cent Lost on the
Premises.
The Revised Statutes provide an
easy way for the recovery of money
lost in gambling houses. Here is the
law on the subject. Let every citizen
read it carefully:
SECTION 1873. If any person shall
rent or lease to another any building
or premises to be used, Z whole or in
part, as a common gaming house or
place for persons to como together to
play for money or other valuable thing,
or bet upon any game of chance, or
shall knowingly permit the same
to be so used or occupied, such
building or premises so used or
occupied shall be held liable for, and
may be sold to pay, any judgment that
may be recovered under the preceding
section. Proceedings may be had to
subject the same to the payment of
any such judgment recovered which
remains unpaid, or any part thereof,
either before or after execution shall
issue against the property of the per-
son against whom such judgment shall
have been recovered; and when execu-
ton shall issue against the property so
leased or rented, the officer shall pro-
coed to satisfy said execution out of
the building or premises so leased or
occupied as aforesaid: Provided, that
if such building or premises belong to
minor or other person under guard
ianship the guardian or conservator of
such person, and his real and personal
property shall be held liable instead
Of such ward, and his property shall
be subject to all the provisions of this
section relating to the collection OF
said Judgment"

The DAILY News" Wants EberSold
Bounced and Gambling squeIched.
The Daily Ne,cs hit the nail on the
head when it said:
"The way to stop gambling is to stop
it. There is no other way.
ut is foolish to make a few half
hearted raids which do no one any
harm and to talk about the great diff
Guilty attending the work. The gam
blers are ready to close up their houses
on the very day that they become con
WINGED that the city authorities will
not tolerate them longer. Let the
Chief of Police make it plain to Han
kins and Condor and the rest of the
gambling house proprietors that gam
bling must stop and it will stop. But
so long as the gamblers think that they
have powerful friends in the City Hall
they will keep their houses running,
"The removal of Inspector Ebersold
is necessary in order that the gamblers
NAV take serious view of the sltua-
ton which confronts them. Ebersold
now acts as buffer to break the force
of the rude shocks coming to the gam
bling fraternity from the outer world.
They find him as agreeable as is a
feather bed to a weary man. He Is
restful. He invites pleasant dreams.
He soothes them in their hours of de-
preston and fatigue, They cannot be-
lieve that even January winds can
blow roughly while Ebersold is near.
"The gamblers have had everything
their own way in Chicago for good

up their houses permanently any day
that they choose to do so. For the
credit of Mayor Cregier's administra-
ton, the Daily NerS trusts that the
action vii not be delayed many days
longer"

cago can bring such suit, although not
personally acquainted with the loser,
and the judgment thus obtained will
be lien on the property and the prop
erty can be confscated to pay it.
Here is partial list of people who
have lost money in Hankins' and Con-
don's places in the last two months:
A. H. Schattenberg, School Treas
urer of Milwaukee, lost 5000 to the
Chicago gamblers trust and killed
himself.
Charles S. Ostrom, cashier of the
Minneapolis Tribune, lost several
thousand dollars in Chicago gambling
houses, and is alleged to have set fire
to the building to cover matters up.
Seven lives lost.
A Milwaukee brewer was skinned
out of $50, 900 by the Trust managers
in one of their houses.
A St. Paul dry-goods man was re-
lieved Of $4,000 in Condon's bay
window"
S. w. Trempelau, who came to Chi
cago with $500 to buy groceries, lost
it all in Hawkins den.
A. NJ. Peterson of Sioux City, who
came to Chicago to buy furs, lost
Sc, 900 in Condon's in three hours.
A. st. j. Peters, Chicago bank
clerk, lost 80, 900 in Condons.
W. P. SCORE, a clerk in Marshall
Fields, lost $3.50.
Charles p. Girard, cashier Of large
factory at Fort Wayne, lost s., 200 in
Condon's and Hawkins, dividing his
pile about equally between them: but
as it all goes to the trust, anyway his
impartiality will hardly be appre-
ciated.
c. NJ. Bergen of Madison, Wis. lost
So, 1913 in Condons.
\. p. Bellew of Milwaukee, lost
81, 900 in Hawkins den.
Charles u. G. Breene, an employee Of

in Chicago gambling houses. He was
arrested at the Chicago Opera House
on the charge of stealing goods from
the freight department of the railroad.

Total cost of running house per week. 81, SOB
Large as this sum is it is but part of
the expense which Hawkins willingly
stands for the privilege of running.
Large sums are daily given back to his
distressed yictims-not through SYM
pathy, but to step proceedings in po-
lice courts. His police court spies are
engaged to Elk" the wives or relatives
of some victimized players who seek
the aid of the law to have their money
returned. A man who, under Harrison's
administration, was close to Hankins,
estimates that the expenses of the es-
tablishment are not less than s., cooper
week, or $500, 900 per year The gross
earnings of the house are estimated at
$3.50, 900 per year, leaving a net profit
of 1890, 900 per year. This enormous
sum comes from the pockets of the poor
clerks and poorer laborers, Boys are
admitted to the house without question,
and their meager salaries (and doubt
less some of their employers money
fall into the already well-flled Golfers
Of Hawkins and his partners. The
suckers" are betting against a game
that enriches the proprietors at the
rate of over 81, 900 per day.

a Point watched by the Citizens Assoc
citation.
There is one thing that the Citizens
Association is watching very closely,
and that is the fact that the police are
not arresting the real owners aud keep
ers of the gambling houses that they
pull.
The reason for this is obvious. If
the real owners are pulled they stand
an excellent show of going to Joliet
under second and third convictions.
For instance, when Hawkins joint
was pulled, man named Smith was
booked as proprietor, and so it was all
along the line.
The Citizens Association knows who
the real proprietors are, however. 1t
has evidence to that effect.

Let the People Read the Law Which
Cregier Declines to Enforce.
Citizens of Chicago! Cut out this
extract from the laws of Illinois.
Paste it in your scrap book. Mark it as
a law which the present Mayor of Chi
cago refuses and neglects to enforce.
Remember that it was passed by the
Legislature of Illinois to protect the
people of the State against robbery on
the part of gambling thieves and
scheming card sharps.
Remember that this is not enforced.
Remember that all of the gambling
houses are open.
Remember that the gamblers trust
is relieving the poor workingmen
minors, fathers, husbands, and boys of
100000 month.
Thus remembering, donot lose sight
of the fact that d. c. Cregier, also
known as Old-Man-Not- Afraid-of-His-
Whiskers, is the Mayor who refuses to
enforce it.
Here is your law:
SECTION 1877 Whoever keeps a
