their first payment, money was lying
around loose, but with all the tcmpta-
tons offered there wa, perhaps, not IA

type which frequents the saloons be-
comes an easy p-ey for the pickpocket
and the robber, for the reason that he

erous complaints come from the tender.
feet who were robbed with their own
consent. There is always II class of
white men who are easily confidenced
out of their cash. An Indian, when
he is sober, is not easily robbed, but
there are white men, and many of
them, who are bigger fools than the
average Indian. There have been fools
enough here from the unenlightened
east to afford IA rich field for half
dozen confidence men to work for the
past few months. In fact these sure
thing men became 80 bold that pub.
lie demo nstratiOn became necessary to
protect their victims. A hint was all
they needed. The righteous temper of
this community is II great moralizer.
The sure-thing men who were invited
to leave were generally termed the
"big mits.' The origin of the name IL
somewhat obscure, but it is probably
gamblers slang phrase for n big hand
in card game. The gang which
worked this city always invited the
victim to one of two dark rooms where
they promised to unfold some t,attering
scheme for the investment of few
dollars with sure profits to follow. The
nature Of the scheme was always
guaged to suit the inclinations OF the
individual, After the greenhorn
reached the seclusion he always found
a card game in progress. Upon the
plea that the principal Of the invest
ment scheme was out, the visitor was
induced to take hand in the game to
fill II vacant chair. When it came
the sue ker's tnrn to deal, he was inter
rupted just in time to switch the deck
of cards when he passed them over to
be cut. A cold deck would find its
way into the victims hand and he
would deal out his own disaster He
would get fours in the course of the
deal. However, some other fellow
would get bigger fours. The new found
specuIator would put up the cash he
had brought for use in business, but
alas! he never was allowed to take 1t
down. The bigger hand which he had
dealt to some member of the gang
| carried off the money. When the
victim complained to the officers he of
course must admit that he wagered his
money on the smaller hand in II game
of cards, and that he dealt the cards
himself. He Has robbed IA surely and
as effectively rs if he had been sand
bagged, but the robber was protected
10y the law.

The free reading room Is now eStab~
soliciting committee have secured
monthly income of S27 so, with more
in prospect. The institution in the
Grostein building isa pleasant one well,
located, and the value of the books and
magazines is already placed at $25O.OO.
There is libearian in charge and the
reading public is invited from 2. p. III. .
10 II p. m. daily. In connection with
the reading room there will be cercu-
lating library for the use of members.
While the reading room is free, fee of
10 cts. monthly is charged for library
membership, except to donators, to
whom membership is free. The COM
mittee is still soliciting and the funds
and stock are increasing, and it is
hoped that the monthly income will
soon equal expenses. Under the present
management it is estimated that the
runlng expenses will not exceed S3O. 90
month. 1t is the desire to create a
fund for the purchase of books and
magazines; and to continue the good
work till the library is practically COM
plete.
A business meeting will be held at
the reading room next Monday eve
ming. At that time officers for the en-
suing year will he elected consisting of
president, vice president, secretary and

Fame,

The beacon light of earthly fame,
OFT blinds the human sight,
And 10y its all-absorblng flame
Obscures the coming night
When praise of men
ResOunds in vain,
Nor can it life or hope sustain.
Fame, glittering DER Il qujcksand deep,
Allures the feeble gaze;
Some from the Rock of Ages leap,
TO sparkle in her blaze,
But see, alas!
The glory pass,
And sink into despair at last.
Countless the host of heroes slain
Seeking her wreath to wear,
Countless the tedious hours Of pain,
OF study, toll and care,
Spent at her shrine,
At length to find,
The setting orb has ceased to
shine.
Fame classes 'mongst her votaries,
The thOughtess, sceptic, vain,
Proud to be evils notaries,
Earth's praises to obtain.
Untimely bliss,
Prefer to this,
Annihilation's deep abyss.
Yet Fame must be the watchword still
To every earnest heart.
Subsequent to the Heavenly will,
Armed 'gainst the tempter's dart.
Midst shoals of fear
The path is clear,
A guiding hand is ever near.
Deservedly to wear the name
Ofnoble, good and wise,
Erlipses other guilds of Fame,
Prompts virtue to arise;
Examples force
Is oft the source
From whence flows on life'S
future course.
Anchoring in Faith our hopes on high,
Striving for such wreath,
Praises will warble to the sky
When chanted here beneath,
And echoing there
Midst harps of air,
Proclaim Fame beVond
compare.
