WILL TEST THE LAW.
St. Louis Pool Sellers Adopt a
Scheme.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 27.-The local
pool room keepers are preparing a
scheme to defeat the purposes of the
Stone anti-poo bill, which passed the
legislature and will soon become law.
1t is similar to the Tennessee law, and
prohibits the sale or pools except while
race meetings are in progress within
the state, and then only permits pools
to be sold on those particular races.
The st. Louis pool sellers hope. how
ever, to have the law knocked out here.
They propose to close every room bat
one. Then test case is TO be made,
and they seem confident that when the
case comes up before Judge Claiborne.
of the court of criminal correction, he
will declare the law unconstitutional,
as this state has no appeal that would
settle the matter. Another scheme
talked about is to build a small race
track in the suburbs and run a lot OF
plugs out there.

ARTIFICIAL LIVING.

Invention las never, in the worlds history,
received such quick and bountiful rewards as
in our day. Consequently it has been stimu-
lated to wonderful activity and achievement.
It multiplies power; it provides for def
ciences; it annihilates space and time; 1t saves
labor, and puts an end TO pain.
But not only does 1t turn all the qualities
and energies of nature to the help and conve-
nience of man, it even dares to supersede ma
ture and accomplish her results by machinery
and new methods, instead of by her old ways
of growth and progress. We make eggs and
honey and butter by new process and new
invention. We make artificial flowers and
natural flowers by artificial process. We hnd
out the ways of nature and use them TO ac-
complish substitutes and limitations. frauds and
authorizations. And this we do in every busl-
ness and occupation of life. The baby itself
is misrepresented before it can talk OF walk
and from that period to the very last the child,
the youth, the man and woman are tortured
and torture themselves in the vain effort to
appear TO be what they are not and TO De
come what nature never intended them TO De.
And great apparent successes are acnieNed'
And great shows are blazed abroad that are
absolute frauds.
All social life is full of frauds and limitations
that have no more truth or nature IN them
than artificial honey or paper flowers. All
life is under suspicion of being job.
1t is not at all TO be wondered at that in a
day of frauds and authorizations that prevail
from the highest dignity to lowest condition
men should ask. Is life worth living? A ma
chine that is all out Of order is not worth
working 1t takes more oil TO lubricate 1t
than il is worth. And man who is playing
part, strutting and fretting his hour. finds the
trouble of keeping up appearances poorly
compensated in bogus life.
Nature is sGpreme will yindicate her rights
and punish the wrong doer. Times glory is
to unmask falsehood and bring truth to light.
The real nature of the man may be concealed
for a while, but it will work itself out in all
the beauty or ugliness that nature has made
its own. Love and hate need only time TO
SPEND themselves upon their objects. And
the man who thinks TO supersede or set aside
the works and forces of nature is pursuing
only his own ruin and shame.
These seem trite teachings, and yet how
truel Who will succeed in business for
which he has no tasteY Who can be vile and
long play the gentleman? Who can long be
successful in playing any false part? There is
but one condition of real growth and progress;
Jesse non videri"-to be and not to seem.
The germ of life that grows and develops is the
true and natural one, and that it is that alone
will last that will send forth its roots by the
rivers; spread out its branches toward
Heaven, and bring forth his fruit iii his sea-
son. 1t is the light of an honest heart that
goes On from strength to strength and shines
more and more to the perfect day.

her important engagements in large cities are q
sufficient guarantee of her wonderful voice.
