BETTING IN ENGLAND.
A Habit That Has an An-.lHsorbins Inf

Habit That Has an An-.lHsnrbing Influ-
cnce Over the Mind.
There is still good deal of CONVEX
sation in many countries upon the sub
ject of gambling, particularly in Great
Britain, where betting is u serious dam
ger to the happiness and stability of
families. In that country, says the
Youths Companion, there is not only
an incredible amount of betting upon
races, but in many households it is
custom to play cards for money. The
stakes indeed are small, but it is now
contended that even such trihing
stakes impart to game of whist kind
of interest and excitement that is not
harmless.
An anecdotc in point was related the
other day by the Times. Lord Fal-
mouth, a noted breeder of race-horses,
made bet of sixpence with his trainer
that certain horse would win a GER
tain race. lie was. opposed to betting
on principle. but did not consider that
siXpcnce amounted to a. bet. But, hav-
ing lost his wager, he did not like to
hand over to the winner sum that
seemed ridiculous. So he had the SIX
pence set as the base of breastpin,
which consisted of large carbuncle
cut into the form of jockey cap, the
button of which was diamond. This
setting raised the humble sixpence to
the Importance of large bet. Again
he lost siHpence to the same trainer.
This time lie caused the coin to be set
inside the lid of silver snuff-box, with
the monogram of the trainer handsome
ly carved on the outside. Thus can a
man of principle cheat himself into a
gross departure from it. In the same
spirit ladies who sit in the grand stand
persuade themselves that pairs of kid
gloves do not amount to bet.
To many Americans who do not feel
the need of hcightening the interest Of
innocent games in this way, and do not
want to get other peoples money for
nothing, the mania for this kind of
gambling seems strange and unaccount-
able. Accepting money under such
conditions may be less disgraceful
than picking a pocket, but not much

Nearly every pattern Of "a Horse
Blanket is initiated in color and
style. In most cases the imitation
looks just as good as the genuine,
but it hasn't tile acayp threads, and
SO lacks strength, and while it sells
for only a little less than the genu-
inc it isn'tworth one-half as much.
The fact that "a Horse Blankets
are copied is strong evidence
that they are THE STANDARD,
and every buyer should see that
the "a trade mark is sewed on

to manage and control large proper

brisk business is carried on with "neigh-

guished explorer, relates that china
ware, rich carpets, attractive silk stuffs
and other commodities in great variety
and large quantities are brought from
western China; and from other quarters
appear travelling merchants, with well

The Oaklands and Los Angeles to Play
Today.
The third Of the opening series begins
this afternoon at the Athletic grounds.
Oakland and Los Angeles meet for the
first time. They play five games. At
the conclusion of these games the Los
Angeles team will make their first trip
to the northern part OF the state. The
club will be gone three weeks.
2 With the interest taken in baseball in
this city at present, there should be a
good turnout this afternoon and the bal
ance of the week. The Colonels will
probably try their three pitchers in Los
Angeles. German and Horner are both
good men, but they have not yet
had chance to thaw out. The latter
met an accident soon after his arrival in
Oakland. He may pitch his first game
during the present series. If Los An
geles should beat Oakland three out of
the five games, and San Francisco beat
San Jose three out of FIVE, then Los An
geles and San Jose will again be tie for
first place. The report that Glenalvin
was after any new men must have
originated in the fertile Imagination of
an Examiner reporter. Glen intends to
give every man on his team fair trial,
and there will be no releasing done for
some time to come. Besides, no weak
spot in the Los Angeles infield has yet
appeared.

A Warm Waist.

Here is prescription for keeping
warm without jacket: Buy four large
chamois skins and a paper pattern for a
high necked underwaist. Cut the waist
according to the pattern with this ex-
ception: the chamois should not quite
come down to the waist line. Punch a
few holes in the leather for ventilation
trimming them neatly with pair OF
sharp scissors. Line this with silk and
you will have delightfully."- comfortable
little garment that will have all the
warmth of jacket, and that will not
take up any room to speak Of when
worn under the waist of the dress.
Cloth skirts which are tightly fitted
over the hips may also be lined in this
way from the waist to the distance of a
foot; this will prove also to be Of great
protection from the treacherous spring
winds, and will not detract from the
slender look of the gown.-New York

the Courtesy of Love.

There is q false idea afloat in the
stream of life, which is that when peo-
pie love us we can be rude to them, that
because they know we love them they
will forgive every lack of courtesy.
Now, this is absolutely untrue; the
closer two people are united by the bond
of love the more necessary is it for them
to observe every law Of politeness. Love
isn't so very difficult to gain, but it is
very difficult to keep. You can afford
better to be rude to everybody else in
the world than to the people who love
you. Being a good girl, you think that
you are not rude to anybody, but just
remember how you treat Tom. You
take his love as matter of course, you
think he doesn't want you to consider
him first and best.
Love, my dear girl, is flower that
needs constant attention, and the very
minute it is neglected. left too long in
the glaring sun of Indifference, or in the
cold wind of selfshness, it dies. And
love is never resurrected. don't want
you to give Tom too much. Save some
thing for the husband-the kisses it will
be his right to claim, the encircling arms
that it will be his pleasure to have.
But give Tom your words of affection.
the looks that tell him SO much and the
unselfishness that goes to make love,
and without which there is no love, but
only miserable imitation.-Ruth Ash

ENGAGED.


The little bond that links your life to mine
Seems slight and fragile; do you think twiil
hold
And bear the changes Of the coming time,
When life is dark and all is bleak and cold!
And do you think that, purified by pain,
We can take up our lives and love again?
Or when, like the inconstant skies of spring,
Our lives are clouded as her sunny air,
And we Know pain that summer could not
bring,
Will you not find it all too hard to bear7
And when these storms and weary hours have
tried us,
Can we live on and let no power divide usp
Then if this little chain, SO frail and weak.
1t trembles when our lives are fair and
bright,
Gould find a voice and each small link could
speak,
Would it not say twas frightened of the
night?
IL it must break, and we must humbly bow,
In pity for my weakness, break it now.
But If you think that it can bear the weight
OF fiery trials as they come and go,
We can take heart and boldly meet the fate
That gives impartially of joy and woe;
And be it summer fair or wintry weather,
We can be brave and meet ALL love, together.

TALENT MlsDlRECTEb.

Pretty Canadian Girls skillful Work
in Making Illegal Money.
For nearly nine months the public has
been systematically defrauded by the
skillful connivance Of an adept at alter
ing bank notes. The man or woman
who conceived the idea and operated
the system must have had confederates,
as the work was carried ON somewhat
extensively
The complaint first came from the
Dominion bank officials. One of their
experts found among the bills one day q
two dollar note which was about three
eighths of an inch shorter than the
usual length. He examined the bill
more minutely, and discovered that a
small piece was missing from place
almost in the center of the note. Think
ing that this might have been torn out
accidentally, nothing was thought Of
the occurrence until a few days later
another bill Of the same denomination
turned up, short in length to the same
extent as the first.
The piece missing from this bill, how
ever, it was noticed, was from another
portion of the note. Suspicion was
aroused and careful scrutiny of the
bill made, whereupon it was discovered
that the missing piece had been cut out.
But the work had been done SO cleverly
and accurately that no person but an ex-
pert banker would notice the deficiency.
The detective department was com
municated with, and the short bills
which continued to come in were hand
ed over to them. 1t was several months
before they were able to understand
how the perpetrators of the fraud could
be benefited. At last they had nine of
these short bills, and an analysis of the
different places where the cutting oper-
alton had been performed solved for
them the problem.
from these nine bills to make, if properly
put together, a tenth note almost as long
as the others, which would pass any
where undetected. The detectives knew
that the work was going on, and an
| officer was put on the case especially
some months ago. Several weeks ago he
suspected that the operator was a WON
an, and close watch was kept over her.
| Yesterday warrant was sworn out
accusing pretty young woman named
Catharine Rhodes with altering and ut
tering Dominion bank bills. She is only
eighteen years Of age and lives with he1
father, Robert Rhodes, a laborer, at Al
Wardell street. It is understood that
the operators, whoever they are, have
been making five dollar notes in the
same manner out of bills belonging to
other Canadian banks. The cutting out
work was evidently done with razor
and by cunning hand.-Toronto Globe.

The jew Easily Defeats r. #. In q
Three Eighths Mile Dash.
The three-eighths mile match race be-
tween the Jew and f. F. was decided
yesterday afternoon at Agricultural
Park. There was some suuabbling
about the appointment OF judges, and It
was 4 O'Clock before the horses were sent
to the post. A capital start was effected
without any delay. The colors of F.
F.'s rider were the first to show to the
front. Turning into the stretch the
horses were on even terms. Down the
stretch The Jew drew away and won
handily. The time was 35L seconds.
The judges announced that The Jew had
won before the riders had a chance to
'dlsmount. The boy on B. F. claimed
that The Jew had fouled him badly turn
ing into the stretch, but as the Judges
had already given their decision, moth.
ing came out of the protest. The owner
Of F. F. is reported to have lost $1,000 on
the race, F. +. not showing to be as fast

Handicaps.
The Jow Runs Away from r. F.-Cleo
patrs Thrown In Light-Gossip

The weights are just out for the Oak.
wood and Great Western handicaps, to
be run at the Washington Park meeting
at Chicago. There are eighty-eight en-
tries for the Great Western.
Riley is assigned the top weight at 127
pounds, while the Los Angeles horse
Santiago is second on the list with 1913
pounds. Poet Scout has 122, Teuton
HIS. The California horse Homer ap-
pears to be we'll in at 1l2 pounds. Other
coast horses are weighted as follows:
Longshot, 115; Al Farrow, ia; Kylo,
107.; Hotspur, Ludowic and Santa Ana,
105 each; Silverado and Duke Of Milpi-
tas, 1902; Zaldivar, San Joaquin
and Yo Tembien, each 1ol pounds.
Altogether the California horses
appear to have been we'll treated
by the Handicapped. San Joaquin should
surprise the easterner with 101 pounds.
He, like Riley, is Longfellow, and if
there is a horse in the world bred to 60
the mile and half, why it is San
Joaquin. He was off all last season,
which accounts for his light impost.

There are 125 entries in the Oakwood,
which is mile and furlong. The top
weights are Riley, 1876; Poet Scout, 1873
Teuton, 100; Verge Dor, 1870; Marion
c., 118; Tulla Blackburn, Sefioriua and
Ringman, 116. Homer has only l13
pounds to pack Santa Ana, 10S; while
cleopatra is thrown in with 100 pounds.

favorite at 10 to l, with Bermuda next
