Gambling Houses Closed

All of the big gambling houses in this
city closed last night and possibly may
remain closed until after the election. In
TACT the proprietors themselves do not know
lust how long the tiger will be kept under
cover This action is not ON account of any
protest from the city officials but is due
partly to the Municipal league and partly
TO the friends of the Peyton boys. Two of
the Peytons are in Jail on a charge of hav-
ing shot and robbed Blanche Kennedy some
time ago. When the Peytons were found
guilty their friends went to work to try
and get even and with the assistance of a
couple of local attorneys have done what
the administration declined to do. Word
was sent down here yesterday that a raid
was to be made last night and so the hint
was taken and the principal places closed
The Diamond, which was operated by Ken
nedy, Morrison and others is to be closed
permanently, but the others expect to open
again as soon as this little difficulty with
the Peytons is settled
Members of the Municipal league have been
talking over the matter and some action
may be taken to keep the places closed all
of the time.

Answered.

The Rev. Waiter Dunlop, of Dunn
fries, Scotland, was q good pastor, who
illustrated DIR. Chalmers saying, "A
house-going minister makes a church
going people" As many of his congre-
cation came from miles beyond the
town, the pastor j~ourneyed to their
homes on foot, hating for the night at
some friendly farmers.
Once, while going his rcands, he
saw. al on end OF a small village, that
some pigs had got into q field Of bar
lev, and, while enjoying themselves,
were doinr much obstruction. The
conversation that followed illustrates
the character of some of the exclama-
lions of ehat day.
The minister stepped into q cottage
on the side of the road and said:
"Gudewife, gudewife, the pigs have
got in amang the barley!"
ooh. the deevil choke them!" cried
the woman.
The minister, having done the civil
thing, took no notice of the remark,
but logged on to the other end Of the
village, where he saw a flock of geese
in another fed. He informed a woman
in a cottage OF TIE -act, and she too
cried out:
"Oh, the deevil tax them"
With a twinkle in his eve the good
maj replied, Il doot We All get him
Just now, mistress, as he's at the ither
end O the toon choking twa swine
The same clergyman used to hold on
winter evenings what was called "adiet
of chatechising," at the house OF some
church member. Those living in the
neighborhood were expected to attend,
ready to answer such questions as
might be asked them from the cate
ch1sm and the Scriptures.
At one meeting the village wag was
present, and sat directly behind the
blacksmith, John Bland, a stout and
very irascible man.
"Weel, john" asked the minister,
scan We tell me what doth every sir de
serve?"
At that moment the wag stuck, with
considerable force, a pin into the IN
conscious blaeksmith's body. Spring
ing to his feet and placing his horny
hand on the singing part, Bland cried
out, in threatening tones, as he looked
upon his tormentor:
Gods curse! Gods curse!"
Every weel said, john" remarked
the surprised minister. "Very weel
said, but rather over loud and fast!"-
