THE GAMBLING MANIA.
An Epidemic That Is Growing More viru
lent Every Day.

An Epidemic That Is Growing More Viru-
lent Every Day.
The passion for gambling has for
many years been increasing in this
country until it threatens to become
pre-eminently the national vice
Whether it arose from the fever for
speculation which Indirectly was one OF
the most evil of the results of the rebel
lion in the North, or whether the cause
is to be looked for in that general spirit
fastening to be rich that is prominent
characteristic of American civilization
it might not be easy to determines; but
of the fact there is unhappily no room
for doubt
1t is not alone that the lottery has be-
come national institution; for however
much one may Shirk from acknowledge
ing this, it is practically the truth.
1t is not alone that so many millions
flow year by year into the pockets of
avowed lotteries, American and foreign,
or that the resources of the country are
constantly on the strain caused by the in
fiuence of legalized gambling of the
Stock Exchange. 1t is in hundred diff
ferent ways that the tendency of the
times shows itself 1t is in the constant
illusions to poker-playing which figure
in ths columns of every newspaper, which
adorn every farce, and which form half
the stock in trade of the so-called comic
Photographer. 1t is in the complete mania
for betting on horse-racing that has ia
ken possession of the clerks and the
young men of New York, and which is
steadily on the increase in Boston
Every day, rain or shine, summer and
winter, in snow storms which would
seem to make it impossible, and in going
so bad that ''mud-horses" are feature
of the betting, the races go on, not at
all in the interest of the sport, but en-
tirely for the sake of the book-making.
The same spirit shows itself on every
side; and if halt is not called soon, we
shall excel the Chinese in the vice of
gambling. The epidemic is upon us, and
who has any remedy to propose?-Bos-
ton Courier.

KILLED TWENTY MEN.

A Westerner's Defense or His Claim
Against WOuid-B Jumpers.
There goes man who has killed his
twentieth man." said a guest at Hurst's
to st. Louis Republic reporter. The
man alluded to was of medium height
and stout build, with raven black hair
and mustache. He had a black eye
which flashed with sJrange light when
ever their owner became excited or in
terested. ellis name is Cal Fairbanks"
continued the reporters informant, land
he was formerly resident of St. Louis.
About fifteen years ago he went to Colo
RADIO, and near Pueblo struck mine
which had been deserted. The mine,
however, had been proved up, and Mr..
Fairbanks bought 1t for trifling sum.
went to work upon it, and it soon de-
veloped that it was a rich mine. He
went to Denver, placed his mine on the
market under the name of Little Jennie
and sold his interests for an independ-
ent fortune. But while he was develop
ing this mine he had serious trouble. A
man who was favorite in the mining
camp drew gun on Mr.. Fairbanks one
day, but the man from st. Louis was
quick and he shot first. AS q result the
camp favorite dropped dead. This kill
ing created a good deal Of enmity
against Fairbanks, and before he had
finished developing his claim he killed
nineteen men. All this occurred in
about year. l believe Fairbanks him
self was shot twice, but neither of the
bullets inflicted wounds which might
be called serious To-day he is in the
prime of life, and by shrewd specula-
ton has managed to accumulate fort
une. He is bachelor of steady habits
and is a woman hater."

DANGEROUS BUSINESS.
PerllS of Cattle-Driving Over tho South
American Mountains.

Fer4S OF Cattie-DrlVIng Over tho South
American Mountains.
On the topo the Cordillera we met with
adrove of Argentine cattle, the first that
had ventured over this season. The
drovers have had hard work, and many
good OK leaves his bones on the road,
proof of which we found in some skele-
tons we came across, picked clean by the
condors which frequent the mountain
tops. We perceived several of these
large birds lowering overhead, their i'm
mense wings extended and motionless,
drifting on that rarefied air as if they
were suspended from the stars
We had soon a striking example of the
dangers of the cattle-driving trade. An
animal near us loosened a big round
stone, which went bounding down the
steep mountain side, right among the
drove which was winding its way up.
The missile singled out big black OK as
its victim, and, with a fearful crash.
caught him full in the ribs and hurled
him downward, racing in front of him,
till both stone and OK lay immov-
able at the bottom, scarcely discernible
by us above. In spite of the evident
danger of a similar occurrence, we could
not wait till the whole herd of about
seven hundred animals had reached the
summit, so, dismounting, we went on
our way, finding good footing in the
loose volcanic earth and stones, and in
thirty minutes we had reached the val
ley. Halfway down we passed some
broken trunks, which, with the mule
that carried them, had fallen and rolled
over some two hundred feet till stopped
by protruding rock. The mule had
been badly -Gentleman's Maya

NO CHILDREN WANTED.
How Quick-Witted Yankee Got the Best
of New York Landlord.

OF - new
Unhappy parents, who, whenever
they seek for flats, run against the au-
tocratic mo children permitted in this
building" should take leaf from the
experience of cute Yankee with four
children. He moved to this city last
spring, says the New York Sun, and he
and his wife, after few days in a hotel
went fat hunting. Wherever they
went they met this objection against
children. His wife became discouraged
and wanted to go back to their rural
home in New England, where their
children had had the range of a large
park and garden. But our Yankee
friend was man Of resources. He put
on his thinking cap one evening, and
the next morning he started out by him
self, leaving Mrs Yankee at the hotel
with the children. AT the first house
where he found tiat which suited him
this dialogue with the janitor took
place:
What is the rent of this f1at?"
Mine hundred dollars year"
81 will lease 1T for year If there are
no children in the house. ! will not
take it If there are any"
There are not any You may depend
! upon that"
This maneuver threw the agents Of
the fiat off their guard. Nothing was
asked of our Yankee about the posses
sion Of children by him. The lease was
made out and executed, the advance
payment was made, and then he moved
in, wife, children and all There was 6
grand tableaux Of indignation on the
part of the owner of the fat. But there
the Yankees were, young and old, and
there they will be until the first o
next May Nothing can get them out

the train. You can't do it easy. The
fange on tho wheel always catches
when you run up on the guard beam on
each side OF the track, and you can't
run into the street. The gang knew
this, and they tried something new.
They put an inclined block on each
track so the train might run up and over.
That might go. 1t was a dirty
trick. l suppose they expected to lay
below and rob the car when she smashed
in the street. Killing the engineer, of
course, didn't count All the same they

A LITTLE BOYS HERoIsM.
He Thought He Was Going to Be Left in
the Cemetery.

the Cemetery.
A little boys heroism was tested not
long ago through a mistake. The editor
of a contemporary relates that gentle
man in New England town proposed
to drive with his wife to the beautiful
cemetery beside the river beyond the
town. Calling his son, bright little
boy some four years old, be told him to
get ready to accompany them The
child's countenance fell and the faith
said
Don't you want to go, WilHe?"
The little lip quivered. but the child
answered: Eyes, papa, if you wish
The child was strangely silent during
the drive, and when the carriage drove
under the wide archway he chung to his
mothers side and looked up in her face
with pathetic usefulness The party
alighted and walked among the graves
and along the tree-shadowed avenues
looking at the inscriptions on the last
resting place of the jewellers in the
beautiful city of the dead After an
hour so spent they returned to the
carriage and the father lifted his little
son to his seat The child looked sur
prised, drew breath of relief. and
asked:
why, am going back with you?"
''ef course you are; why not%'
II thought when they took little boys
to the cemetery they left them there
said the child.
Many man does not show the heroism
in the face Of death that the child
evinced in what to him had evidentl
been a summons to leave the world
The Great NapoIeOn's Heart.
May 6, 1921, DR.. Automachi, assisted
by Thomas Carswell. proceeded to make
an autopsy on the body of Napoleon L.
at Longwood. The post-mortem was in
terrupted by the darkness Of the even
ing. When going to continue the au-
topsy next morning the physicians
found that the Emperor's heart had
been almost entirely devoured by rats.
A fresh lambs heart was taken and
placed in the dead mans thorax- Thus
the body of Napoleon, which has re-
posed under the dome of the Invalides
since 1910, contains the heart of an
animal instead Of that Of the hero OF
Austarljtz.

guns and are generally loaded for

The car starts out about one or two
o'clock in the morning and goes up and
down the Second avenue road, stopping
at every station and collecting the
