BAD NEWS FOR THE BOOKiES.
Governor Stephens Signs the Horse Breed
ders' Bill.

ders' Bill.
St. Louis, Mo, April S-Gover-
nor Stephens. who is here today on
his way to Hot Springs for two
weeks rest, has attached his sigma.
ture to the Horse Breeders bill
There has been a great fight over
this bill, and the influences which
were brought to bsar upon the Gov
ernor to try to induce him not to
sign the bill vera very diverging
The bill was drafted by the Mis-.
souri, State Horse Breeders ass ocia-
ton and was iudorsed by most Of
the fast horss owners of the State.
It's enemies claimed, however, that
the owners of the Fair grounds track
in st. Louis were the men who were
really behind the measure.
The bill does away with pool
rooms in the State, and also does
away with winter racing of fast
horses into disrepute. Ths bill also
gives the State auditor the privilege
of closing any race track after it has
run for ninety days, but close read
ing of the bill will show that it saws
that he may, and not that he shall,
refuse to license books on the track
for longer time. The bill does not
forbid the pool selling On race tracks,
but provides that each book shall
pay S. day to the State, to be set
aside in special fund and used to
encourage the breeding of good
horses.
The bill was. of course, bitterly
opposed by the pool room men and
''tin horn gamblers, and, using the
argument that it would license
gambling, a number of preachers of
the State were induced to oppose it
and to petition the Governor not to
sign it.
There are now about forty pool
rooms in st. Louis and a number in
Kansas City, and as the Supreme
court has declared unconstitutional
the law which forbids the selling OF
pools en- outside races, these rooms
handle the Eastern races, and it
would be impossible for track to
profitable run in the State as long as
they are running.
The friends of the measure urged
it's passage on the argument that
there can be no fine horses bred un
less there are races; that there can
be no races without pools, aud that
there can not be any legitimate races
with pool rooms.
The bill will 60 into effect upon
June 2, and on that. day all pool
rooms will have to close, although
the pool room men will probably
fight the law in the courts.

Complaint was made to the New Jersey di-

the outskirts of Jersey City not entitled to
display the official sign of the l.. A. w. was
an offender. A visit to the place developed
the fact that the owner was not disposed to

persuasion was futile. became indignant and
threatened legal proceedings. The propri-

table with the usual two broad drawers,
he put in underneath these one large
drawer in the form of a half circle the

thus giving convenient receptacle for

A pimcuIt Lesson for Nervous Per-

Most persons, no matter how well
brought up, find it necessary TO put
themselves through course of dis
ciplne, for what all become, morally,
they are, in measure, responsible for.
Very few people are good self-dis-
ciplinarians, and though their morals
may receive due attention, their de-
meanor has been neglected and their
emotions are displayed indiscriminate-
ly. A calm exterior is not evidence of
cold -heartedness. With sufficient self
control the heart may undergo its char
acteristic passions unsupported.
l have always maintained that any
highly-strung, over-sensitive person,
especially a woman, might become sub
ject to hysteria IL strict control was not
kept over the nerves. My injunction
is: "Retain your equilibrium though

to others; we have no right to inflict
our emotions upon anyone; for though
the effort at self-control only strength
ems or own nerves, indulgence in any
thing bordering on hysterical is a
drain of the nerve force of those un-
fortunate enough to be in our compan-
ionship. The woman who sits down

There were stories of gambling and

that Jenny, the apple of his eye, was
dropping in that southern climate, and

as soon as able to move, and came back
within 4s hours looking years older,
and both the girls soon knew that she
had parted with the diamond earrings
that were their fathers last gift to her
in the happy, prosperous days that pre-
ceded the war. Floyd had written that,
starving, drunk or drugged, and des-
perate, he had been led by his associate
before recruiting officer, had been
sent with others as reckless as himself
to sober up at the quarters of cavalry
command near the city, and that, the
next thing he knew, he with a squad of
seven recruits was on his way to join
troop stationed within few miles of
his home, instead, as he had been as
sured would be the case, of being sent
TO the Fourth cavalry on frontier duty

broke their contract" he said, "and |
broke mine" he had deserted, and, If
captured, would be sent to hard labor

her temper, but could not alter her tone
and bearing. 1t was not until he was
gone that Esther, trembling and in
tears, came and begged her to lodge no
complaint against the man, as he in
deed knew more than she supposed.
And then, in reply to her mothers de-
mand, Esther brokenly admitted that
she had already heard Of Floyd's en-
listment and desertion through this

before. What she did not tell her
mother was. that the news FIRST reached
her through Walton Scroggs.
