HE BET ON LESTER.
And the Innocent Looking Stranger Landed
With Both Feet.

And the Innocent Looking Stranger Landed
With Both Feet.
A man of unsophisticated appearance,
who seemed to be stranger in strange
land, sauntered into down town pool
room and stared at the blackboard in
open mouthed wonder. One of the smart
young men who hang about the place
began to guy" the stranger and had,
as he thought, a great deal of fun. Some
of the attaches were also greatly amused,
and when the innocent looking visitor
asked for an explanation of the letter
ing of the board it was given with great
deal of gusto.
What does that mean?" he asked,
pointing not overly clean finger.
"That's the name of the horse that's
in the race. It's Lester"
THAT horse is running on the track
somewhere, is hep
sob, yes" interposed the smart young
man, ''and he is dead sureEMinner too. "
"What do those figures meanr"
"They are odds"
"Odds?"
Eyes. See, if you bet 81, you get s.
back"
''Jimminity! Is that the way you do
business here?"
"Oh. yes. It's just like finding money
here"
"Of course if the horse don't win the
race lose my dollar?"
"Cert."
"Cert?'
"Why, cert. It's an alright cinch."
whats that"
81 mean that you will be sure to win
your money. I wouldn't be afraid to
risk $5 anyhow. Have you got that
much%
"I guess 1 could get it. Who takes the
money here%
He was directed to the cashier and re-
marked:
II want to bet that Lester wins that
race"
Gall right-2 to l."
81 guess I'll take about 5000 worth"
The cashier looked surprised, but said
nothing. He was too old in the business
to say anything of a startling nature.
The innocent looking stranger went
back and looked at the board for few
minutes.
"Well, if can win 5000 l might as
well double it," and he planked down
5000 more.
By this time the sports present began
to open their eyes, and the house grew
suspicious. The odds were reduced to
to 5, and 800 more was all the stranger
could place. The race was run, and
Lester was the winner. The innocent
appearing stranger handed up his tick
cts and demanded $1,210. There was
not that much money in the box, and
the proprietor dashed through back
alley to bank and got it. The stranger
wadded it up, carelessly showed it into
his pocket andwalked out. Indianapolis

From some of the press comments
anent the purchase of the new capital
site, it would seem as if some of the
editors considered it the duty of the
commission to go around begging the
gift of location. For a great state
to play the part of mendicant and
beg what it is amply able to buy,
would be not only humiliating but
shameful, and we may remark right
here that the amount of pass-the-hat
business, that is not only advocated
but practiced in many quarters, is de-
cidedly infradig, to say the least.

1t is stated that the changes con-
templated in. the new tariff bill so far
decided on are as follows: Wool and
iron ore go on the free list, as also
raw materials, and the bounty on
sugar will be abolished. The idea of
a tariff for revenue only is to be close
ly adhered to, and hence heavy cut
in all duties which are not strictly
revenue duties may be expected. An
increase in the whiskey and beer tax
is decided upon, and the iron and
steel schedules will be reduced.
Either an income or an inheritance
tax will be provided so as to increase
the revenues.

The strike on the ST. Paul and
Minneapolis street car lines, resulting
from an attempt on the part of the
street railway employees union to die
tate to the management as to whom
they should and should not employ,
was stupid, laundering act that will
prove a misfortune to the members of
this organization. Labor unions seem
to be more productive of mischief
than service, and more Of curse
than a benefit to the majority of the
members. There is no reason why
such organizations should not be
beneficial, but unfortunately their
control usually falls into hands of de
signing and INSCRIPTIONS men, and
the result is the unions, instead of
being a lever to advance labor in
terests, are used as a club to bulldoze
capital. There is no question but
that the leaders in this ill-advised
strike must have been reckless mis-
chief makers, else they would not
have ordered the union to stop work
when travel was the lightest in years,
when there are hundreds out of en-
ployment, and because their prepos-
ferrous efforts to dictate met with a
prompt rebuff. Their idea that the
union should both manage and oper-
ate the lines, borders on the ridicu-
lous, and were it not that this notion
crops out in other directions, would
be considered as foolish fancy,
more deserving of r!dicule than CEN
sure.
