A PASTEL ON ROULETTE.
And the Littio Ball Rolls Merrily Int
the Only Uncovered Square

And the Littlo RaI Rolls Merrily Into
the Only Uncovered square.
Merrily the little ball whirls around
Anxious faces watch it's gyrations.
The lights glare. There is a rattle of
| chips as nervous hands hurriedly drop
them here and there upon the various
mum bers or cross lines that mark the
! surface of the table.
A dozen men are gathered about
watching and waiting.
What study their faces present.
And the little ball whirls merrily.
How anxiously does each regard the
numbers upon which he has placed his
chips. Surely his turn must come at
last. Every square, every cross line is
covered. One, at leaSt, of the dozen
anxious watchers will soon find himself
richer by many chips.
The croupier smiles. What matters
it TO him where the ball falls? He will
pay the winner with the losings of the
others. He knows this and he smiles.
And the little ball whirls merrily.
Its momentum gradually decreases
Gradually it approaches the niche
where it will finally rest. VIII it be a
seven? Or, perhaps, twenty?
There; it .fallsl Seven Yes. mol
It bounces out again. 1t rolls, and
then. as if it were thing of life, it
seeks spot and rests there.
Again the chips rattle They are be-
ing gathered toward the opposite side
of the table, where stands the croupier
There is no joy among the faces of the
players. The JOY is all in the face of
the croupier.
For he smiles.
He has every reason to. The ball has
fallen into the double zero.
1t was the only square that had re-
NAMED uncovered-N. Y. Herald.

PARNELLiTE FOLLY.

The altitude OF the Parnellites to-
ward the home rule bill is exasperating
as well as discouraging. These men
claim to be friends Of Ireland; they
have posed as patr lots both here and at
home, and yet when for the first time
since the agitation began there is a fair
prospect OF securing self-government
they inaugurate factional fight and
turn against the man who is so bravely
fighting the cause of the Irish people.
At Dublin yesterday the Parnellites
held a convention and adopted resolu-
tions hostile to the Gladstone bill and
declaring it impossible Of acceptance by
the Irish people. This action is the
height of folly, not so much on account
OF any effect IL will have on the pros
poets of the home rule bill, but because
IL gives the color of truth TO the charge
so often made that the Irish are incapable
Of self-government.

DILATORY DEMOCRATS.

The action Of the Democrats i'm con-
gress, or tho supreme ability they ex-
hibit in not taking any action at all,
will very coon operate to neutralize all
the good effect of the presidents mes
sage, and destroy all the confidence the
country has begun to feel that there
was better time dawning.
While the public demand is for
prompt and vigorous action. and there
is not the shadow of reason why
prompt action should not be taken,
there is not only delay, but delay with
out excuse or justification Of any kind.
The Democrats seem TO be sitting
quietly down and waiting for inspiration.
They do not seem TO realize that while
the business of the country demands
action the pathway to great success for
their party also lies by the way OF
action.
If the Democrats were to rise to the
necessities Of the present situation they
would find that the country would give
them full credit. and they would
strengthen their party to an extent that
would make their future success at the
polls matter of far less doubt than now
surrounds it.
1t is time for consideration of the
needs of the country from strictly
non-partisan point Of view, but the
Democrats in congress have as yet given
their constituents no warrant to expect
that they will take that view. They
are doing their best to justify their rep
utation for neglecting the business of
the country and spelling their own
prospects at the same time.

Is A BOOM COMING?

1t is exceedingly difficult to find much
cause for comfort in the prevailing
business conditions, yet there is COM
fort there If the daily reports from
money centres and the country general
ly are read with unjauadiced under
standing.
One Of the most encouraging fea-
lures is Che steady and rapidly increas-
ing buying of stocks for investment,
largely in small parcels.
This is sure indication that money is
already getting back into the channels
of legitimate use, and will not long re-
main in hiding and idleness.
1t seems wild to talk about " boom
now, but that there will be a great
boom in many lines Of business within
a C ,mraratively short time is PROPOSE
tion that does not need a very great
stretch of faith to entertain.
There being no natural or sufficient
cause for the present stringency, and it
being brought about by the withholding
of money from profitable employment,
it follows as hard necessity that there
must soon come time when the
gates will be opened and the money
will pour into trade and general busi-
ness, and when it fairly gets started,
and the people know it is started, it will
be forced upon the market so fercely
and in such volume as to create a pleth-
ora where there is now famine.
This prediction may not peal to the
timid ones very powerfully today, but
we invite them to take note of it and
bear 1t In mind. We expect the future,
and not the distant future, will justify
IL completely.

There's the wild Western girl with her wild

Somewhat chic. partly sly, slightly cold.
She sits the bare broncho with fine Western
scorn.

She's impulsive and yet never bold,
There's the girl from the Southland, a languor-
Gus girl,
Perhaps she's the girl Of your choice.
Her blood is the bluest of indigo blue,
Sometimes, | regret, her comple xion is tool,
And she sings with the niyhtingale's voice.
But tho girl of all girls is the girl OF tho East,
She's pretty and talkativc. too,
No frills on her grammar, no slang on her
tongue,
Her hearts always fresh and her minds
always young.
