Pools on Murder Cases.

Bookmaking IL murder cases is one
of the forms Of gambling here, which
has opened a new field to the men who
are willing to lay odds. The suggestion
smacks of the ridiculous, but a gaudily
dressed young man. with few ''notes"
in his left hand and $40 in money in
his right, appeared in the criminal
branch of the supreme court here a few
days ago. who's on trial?'' he asked
an officer. Being told, he consulted his
notes and said
Lets see. Lawyer Blank; defense,
insanity charge. murder And then,
turning to the doorman again. I'll bet
you 1 to 10 he's acquitted.
The court officer looked puzzled, but
was astounded when the gaudily dressed
informed him he was making ''book. !"
The court officer saw that he made
tracks, but not before over 5000 in bets
had been placed on the outcome of the
case. An investigation showed that
there are large number of these book
makers doing business around the New
York courts, and their profits are said
to be very large.-New York Letter in
Pittsburg Dispatch.

The Printers Burden.

The following poem under the above
caption was clipped from the st. Paul
of a recent date, and ap-
plies very forcibly to the burdens of the
average country editor Read it: then
head it:
Take up the printers BURDEN
You hardy sons of toll,
Who owe him on subscription,
For burning midnight oil.
Remember how he waited
When times were hard as rocks,
While Bryon talked free silver,
Jerry Simpson wore no socks.
Take up the printers burden;
He knows no selfish greed,
In every blessed issue
He works for things you need:
The towns prosperity he shows
Your farm land is the best
These things he tells the people
In North, South, East and West.
Take up the printers burden
And pay the debt you owe,
And when your mortal remnant
Has left this world below,
Your friends can read your title
To mansions in the skies,
The printer knows It's charity
TO whitewash all your lies.
Take up the printers burden,
And make things what they seem.
When Oft in silent sleeping
The people-in his dream,
Pay cash for every item,
Subscriptions in advance,
And goes to church on Sunday
Without patches on his pants.
Take up the printers burden.
All who are in arrears,
His generation yet unborn
Will b eSS you all the years.
Times now are getting better
Since Mckinley won the day,
And you ought to pay the printer,
Cause the devil wants his pay.
