1. Sir George Pullman has q right to
reduce his wages TO hired help, OF
course, as much as he desires, though
he can hardly expect that the public
will cheeEfully 90 on paying S. per
wink for sleep in his cars II times get

wages in order to keep up his per cent
dividends, but the patron will hail with
Joy the new sleeping car company, or
any rival be may have, which will put
the price OF repOse where il will har-
monte with that of other comforts.
As matter OF fact, we are paying
war prices for slumber, and atthe same
time paying the salaries OF Mr.. Pull
mans porters. No one can deny that
for one moment Mr.. Pullman told us
in June that be had been building re-
frigerator cars and freight cars at loss
Of Sl2 20 S24 per car, and so could not
afford TO pay fair wages, but he forgot
to state that be had made $50, 600, 600
in 50 years out OF his snoring works,
while his whisk brOOms have paid for
his rolling stock aud chambermaids'
salaries.
We naturally notice first OF all how
we are individually affected By any
great move, and naturally as one Of the
great multitude, / hail with JOY the
prospect Of better rates to the cOnsum-

Sir George has rights which capital
always will have while the world stands,
but those who have paid double prices

buy Sir George a gold headed cane as a
marx of esteem or to recoup him for his
agonized hours by the seashore this
summer.

have nothing to do with ''longshots. F"
Most of the books OF the present day
are what are known as gambling
books" That Is, In the dearth OF oppor-
tunities to make percentage book they
will "hold out" the horse they think
will win and raise the odds against
others. In this way, with their favorite
out, they stand to win or lose any sum
of money they may decide upon. In
this way "BilIy" Meakin, one OF the
most prominent gambling bookmakers
at Jerome, made a most unfortunate
book on the late Ferrier-Black Hawk
dead heat, and subsequently ran off. In
the first race be held out Terrier ut to
and hoisted the odds on Black Hawk
a shade. Consequently he took in
something like $4,000 on Black Hawk
and not a solitary cent on Terrier.
Then, after the dead heat, believing in
Black Hawks ability to win the run
of, he held out that particular horse
and lay against Terrier for almost
twice the above amount. Consequently
he lost heavily on the race.

sugar

Sugar, the modern commodity, which
we class among thsindispensable neces-
sarles, was wholly unknown TO the an
Gent nations. The word "sacchsrum"
occurs but once in the Latin transla-
ton OF the Bible, and the equivalent
for our word sugar" is first used By
Piny, whose writings are almost con-
.empOraneOus with the tministry OF
Christ. He calls il "honey collected in
.l(from) reeds" and says that the RO-
mans first became acquainted with its
use in Arabia Felix.
R,Statins, in his account OF the old Sat
urnaha ceremonies, mentions "vegeta-
bic honey" as being used aud winds up
his account by saying that "this same
honey IS boiled from ElOSian reeds"
Dl0scorides, the Greek physician who
fourished in the first or second century
of the Christian era and whose great
work, "De Materia Medica," treats Of
al the then known Observation-Disclosures
and their properties, says that 1.-THE

The worst the bookmaker could get
In this book would be the WANING OF
the long shot Canterbury. In that case
he would win 500 But do not suppose
for a moment that the willy public
would ever throw In that S25 against
Canterbury. Neither would they care
to burn up the $50 on Red Top. They
are too smart nowadays, and nobody
but drunken man or one with money

to /. Instead Of the Sl20 marked
against South Side you would probably
have something like $500. which you
would win, as we'll the $3.50 you would
save by "holding out" Harry Reed.
So fine has the system OF form betting
become that it happens almost every
day that the first choice In race will
win, the second choice will run second
and the third choice third. And while
it is true that the bookmaker controls
public money that makes the odds and
regulates the financial balance. Throw
81, 600 into the betting ring against a
100 to chance, and unless there is
mighty big betting on some other horse
you will see the odds tumble down TO
something like even money In very
short time.
THEY WATCH EACH OTHER.
In addition to the public the book
makers have each other to look out for.
The "plking" or smaller bookmakers
sometimes resort to system OF "shay-
Ing" that is very unpopular with the
bigger fish. Suppose, for instance, You
are laying even money against favor
tie. A rival bookmaker from away
across the ring strolls up and takes
$500 Of the good thing. Then be goes
back TO his own stand and lays TO 5
against the same horse. Thus he takes
In $500 of the putic's money, for which
he only pays out $500. Having $500 Of
the rival bookmaker's money to pay It
out with be is therefore 500 ahead. II
the horse loses he breaks even.
1t is surprising the way the bookmak-
ers watch each other. A cat aud a
mouse Is no companion. Every one OF
them carries big glasses with which he
is constantly sweeping the bookmaking

fluctuations OF odds, inst as Wall
