Prohibit 1t.

Prohibit 1t.
St. Louis, Mo-. Jan. pa bill was
introduced in the Senate at Jefferson
City today providing that poolselhng or
bOokmaking in any part of the state or
under any circumstances be prohibited
The penalty for violation is one years
Imprisonment OF $1,000 fine or both.
The news that bill had been intro
duced to prohibit poolselling entirely
aroused a good deal of interest among the
local bookmakers. but they all took the
view that the bill would not become Il
law because of the fair grounds interest
The passage of such Il law would make
racing at the fair grounds practically out
of the question.
Speaking of the bill, Secretary Aull of
the Fair association said: THE passage
of such measure would simply render
valueless about 100000 worth Of rae
ing property in this state

A STORY ABOUT SPAIN.
Why Dumas Thinks She Never Has Had
 Decent Government.


 Senator Cushman K. Davis of Minne eota tells . goed story, which he credits to Alexander Dumas According to Du- mas, there was once time when all she nations of the earth were summon ed before the Great Ruler of human des- tinies. Each was to express a wish, which was to be granted for all time England expressed desire for the great est navy ill the world, and this was granted. France wanted 10 have the most powerful army, and this was grant ed. and so on, until all the nations had obtained their wishes-all except Spain. which did not put iii all appearance un. ii the rest were about ready 10 depart. But, although Spain had been slow jn coming, 1t WAS not Ut all backward in asking.
 The first wish expressed was for tho most beautiful women. This was grant. ed. Then the finest fruits were sought, and then the most equable climate. No other nation having asked for these, both requests were complied with. Still Spain was not satisfied and asked again for the best government in the world ,. You have asked for the best thing last Having been granted three wishes, 'i said the Giver of all good gifts, lyon need expect nothing more.
 And so, continued Dumas, Spain has never had decent government from that day to this, and never will have. " Washington Post.
