GAMBLING in KENTUCKY.
Young and Old Have. Plenty of Money and
Love to Risk 1t.

Young and Old Havo Plenty of Money and
Love to Risk 1t.
81 visited number of the country
fairs in the blue grass region of Ken
lucky last year." said prominent
New York lawyer to n reporter for
the Evening News, land 1 was very
much surprised at tho liberal use of
money.
Way out there one hundred miles
from Louisville and one hundred and
twenty-five miles from Cincinnati could
be found handsomely dressed young
men and old men, who showed that
they had never been accustomed to
hard work, flourishing their bills like
SO much paper. They were not city
chips, but country born and bred.
could not understand it. There are no
manufacturing interests there to speak
of, no mining, nothing but agriculture,
pursuit which requires the hardest
of manual labor; yet these men sported
as soft palms as he highest bred city
folk. Further than that, they had
plenty of money and used it literally.
II failed to find solution to nv
problem until one day my host took me
behind his house, pointed to large fields
OF green leaves and said: DO you see
thatP 1 answered in the affirmative
and he said: That is tobacco. L will
get from eighteen hundred to two thou
sand pounds per acre off that field and
sell it for from twelve and one-half to
sixteen cents per pound. 1 did not
work very hard for it either. The prin-
cipal trouble 1 have is to see that the
negroes do the work, and 1 attend to
the gathering and selling the CROP
The problem was solved Where
the northern farmer by hard labor got
twenty-five or thirty dollars the Ken
lucky landlord, by the MD of his negro
help, made from one hundred and
twenty-five to one hundred and fifty
dollars, says the Chicago News.
"But that which surprised me the
most was the amount of gambling that
is permitted. Why, sir, l have seen
men ut those county fairs shake money
In each others faces in the presence Of
hundreds, offer their bets and take the
stakes You could hardly step up to q
tent on the grounds but that you would
find some kind of gambling scheme.
And it was not what we coll the sports
who took part, but the very best citi.
zens of the country.
THAT section of Kentucky is very
productive. 1t comprises the country
in the ncighborhood of Lexington,
Shelbyville, Paris, Frankfort and Mount
Sterling. 1t is no doubt garden spot,
and it is little wonder that the people
do not work hard. All they have to dc
Is to take care Of what is around them p

A Fine Distinction.

Doubtless our unlettered friends have
line distinction in the use of words. for
which we do not give them sufficient
credit. says the North. A new pupil in
a colorcd school took shattered lamp
chimney to show her teacher.
AIR said he, your chimney is
broken, is it?''
NO. SIR" she answered, ats busted. ~
In her distinction of terms lay all the
difference between o confession of guilt
and an assertion of innocence. The
word broken" She understood to mean
that the mishap had occurred by her
own fault; and in correcting to .bustedr
She meant to imply that some unknown
agency, current of cold air, perhaps,
had caused the break
Here is distinction as clear and real
as we make in more scholarly terms.

said James Vance, steward of the

proud of 1t, and In his bus Ting, eager

"'Oh, don't know about that said
that tall man, who was then leaning on
the bar just us he is now leaning ON the
rail I don't think it so safe.
This startled Harquette little. No
one had ever questioned that safe be-
fore in that offhand way. He flushed
q little while the stranger regarded
him nonchalantly. Marquette felt not
tied and at last blurtcd out:
I'll put five hundred dollars in that
safe and if you can get it out In six
hours you can have it Axes, iimmies
and all tools are allowed, but dyna,

"'I1l go you,' said our tall friend.
Well make it half an hour apd no
tools, however.
Marquette promptly dumped five
hundred dollars into bag, put the bag
Into the safe and turned the combina-
ton. There you are he said, defiant
ly.

put an car against the safe whore the
tumblers work and began turning the
knob of the combination. He didn't
say word but steadily clicked away.
Marquette began to sweat and step
around
I'm twenty-three minutes the safe
was open. Our friend over there took
the bag of money, handed it to the
dumbfounded Marquette, and said, cyn-
ically: 4 don't want your money.

The Chinese may not be 50 willing TO

British ironclads cannot reach, and the
few battalious that could reach the
scene OF action could nat affect the
issue. II i a strange thing that the
russians cannot cOvet desert coun-
try >cautily peoplcd by a few tribes of
nomads without violating all the sane
titles. whereas the British can bargain
for q fertile island of fifteen thousand
square miles with three millions of in
habitants without incurring any odium
whatever. 1t is something like the old
story Of the one man that might steal
a cow and the other that burst not look

valuable acquisition to the British en-
pirc in the long run, but it, possession
would involve one or two hateful incl

in the interior Of the island over whom
the Chinese have never acquired con-
troll, and who would probably be ex-

That preliminary being accomplished,
British capital and Chinese labor would
make the land as rich as the best
province in China. 1t is thought that
there Is a great mineral wealth to be
had there. The cessiou Of Formosa to
England would be parallel case to
that Of Cyprus, and the value of the
consideration involved would be lust
as difficult to estimate. The Turkish
empire. however, hangs more loosely
together than the Chinese. Its states
men are more accustomed to sacrifices
OF territory. The Chinese have not
been reconciled to the loss of their
nominal sovereignty in AMMAN from
which they derived no benefit. From
EormOsa their revenue is considerable,
and the riddle they have to solve is.
what material advantage is to be gained
by ceding il 10 the British? The Turks
might have lost Cyprus to the Russians
or the Greeks if Great Britain had not
interfercd, but the Chinese can retain
FormOsa probably as long as they can
hold Pe<ing. 1t is not menaced by
Russia, and TO throw it away in ex-
change for the doubtful benefit of an
English alliance would be an act of
headiong generosity, such as need not
be expected.
