PECUNIARY TROUBLES.

Il is not a littls interesting apropos OF
the financial troubles OF Major McKin-
ley to note that in the past other states
men have suffered through e mistaken
| lea OF their obligations to their friends.
The first William Pitt, the great prime
minister of England, under whose rule
millions Of pounds were disbursed in
every quarter of the globe, died in such
financial embarrassment that parlia-
mint paid his debts and provided for his
family. Edmund Burke was forced to
become a pensioner OF the king in his
old age.
Charles James Fox was so addicted
T. gambling that his friends purchased
an annuity for him, to save him from
the aims house.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan died in
each grinding poverty that he would
have ended his days in debtors prison
had not his physician interleTed and
prevented his being carried of in a
blanket. The second Pitt, for years
practically the ruler OF Great Britain
lei, G40,000 in debts, although his in
come often reached 10000 yearly.
Richard Golden, who undertook to
teach England the secret OF national
wealth, had to depend on his friends to
nutangle his own affairs for him. Lord
Er-kine died bankrupt. The Irish
parliament raised 100000 to place
UConlell beyond want, and the case OF
P,rnell is known to all readers OF
TdE REPUBLICAN.
Coming to American statesmen, we
find that Thomas jefferson was forced
to empower the Virginia legislature to
dispose of his property by lottery to
meet his liabilities. Robert Morris, the
fnancier OF the Revolution, spent his
closing days in debtors prison. AL
exander Hamilton's family. were left
nj he mercy OF the public, and the last
days OF James Monroe were struggle
to meet the necessities OF life. Henry
Clay was forced to mortgage Ashland for
$4,000, and, being unable to meet the
lea'at time of maturity, his friends
quietly raised the sum for him. Web
ster's extravaganza was notorious. Sam
uelJ Randall, Roscoe Conkling, James
A. Garfield and John A. Logan were
men in whom the desire of acqusltive.
ness was but little developed. 1t is one
OF he inexplicable things about human
nature that men with decided ability
should so often be incapable OF manag-

GAMING IN THE MIDDLE AGES.
Chess Was the Forbidden Game of That


Chess Was the Forbidden Game of That
Time.
Gambling was the curse Of the noble,
as it has always been the curse of every
class trained TO win and to desire, but
with scant outlet for its energies. The
knights in winter gamblcd pretty near
ly all day. We remember, says the
Contemporary Review, how the scrvitor
of Milun, entering u castle in the morn
ing, finds in the great hall two knights
playing chess, so absorbed that they do
not see him "Whcn Easter
comes" say the knights to Milun, I'VE
will rccommcnce our tournaments" but
until Easter there is no rival to their
games of chance except the eternal
game of love.
Chess was the baccarat, the poke of
the middle ages. In vain the king for
babe it in 1867 in 1898, and both before
and after, with every game of hazard
But who was TO enter the snowcd-up
country castles to tell tales of knights
and ladies playing the forbidden game?
The women were almost as bad as the
men. "Nevcr play chess, save for love-"
says the knight de la Tour to his
daughters, ''ne soyez jamals grant
jouarcsscs dc tables" And he proceeds
TO tell them melancholy tales of land,
of money, and of women's honor spent
over the too cnticing board. But, alas,

Up in Barre, VT, lived many years
ago man and woman who believed in
free love, and began living together
without ceremony beyond mutual prom
Use. Long aftcrwTd the man fell
in love with some ono else and asked
the woman to release him from his
promise. She wouldn't. Still later the
women found her affinity, and pre-
ferred u similar request. The man in
turn refused. Thus they lived together
without any tie except mutual hatred
for years, never convcrsing.
