MtXICO'S GAMBLER KING.
Pays $1,000 Day for License Foe nnd
Has Mndc @2.OOO.NOO.

Has Made @2.OOO.OOO.
Mexico has Monaco which outdoes
the sensational marvels OF Monte Car
10, reports the New York World. This
gambling palace Is situated in the
center of the city OF Mexico, at No. 3
Gante street. It's proprietor and man
ager Don Filipe Martel, Is not only
self-made prince, but a phenomenal
character.
For Don Felipe is not only the king
OF gamblers, but a devout churchman
and the chief hacker of the municipal
treasurer Mexico City is almost de-
pendent upon this one citizen.
Martel was a rich man before tho
Mexican government decided to abol-
ish gambling houses Many influential
Mexicans objected 80 seriously to the
absolute stopping OF their favorite
pastime that the authorities thought
they would achieve a clever compro-
mise by demanding from every gamb-
ling resort daily license tax OF 81 900.
No one supposed that the gambling
spirit would be strong enough to rise
above this obstacle. This proved to
be the case and one by one the gamb-
ling houses closed their doors.
When the field was clear Don Felipe
Martel approached the authorities
with $1,000 in cash and demanded
days license. In few hours his
place was thronged. At single stroke
he had won the patronage of Mexico
and his doors have never ben closed
since. The daily outlay of $1,000 is
not missed from the daily revenue Of
thousands.
1t is not remarkable that Don Fe-
lipe's personal fortune should have
reached $2,000,000 in spite Of the con-
stant lavish expenditure His chief
establishment Is as glitteringly ap-
pointed as palace. Liveried attend
ants minister to guests and refresh
ments and cigars are served at the
hosts expense. Mexicans find no
amusement more alluring than a visit
to No. Gante street.
Don Felipes strong religious ten
dencies are so well known that nobody
was surprised when he built recently
in the village of San Angel a church
that cost more than $4,000 The poor
people of the vicinity and many OF
the rich as well have come to regard
him as sort of fairy prince. His
own style of living encourages this
belief. The Martel mansion in Mexico
City Is magnificent affair, constantly
filled with guests. A curious feature
is that 1t contains forty windows-the
number of cards in the Mexican deck.

Something worth Striving Eor.

Chicago Times Herald: What"
asked the lady who believes in the eter-
nal rights of women, as she set down
the glass from which she had moisten
ed her throat, and looked defiantly at
her hearers, What has the little girl
to look forward to in this country?
What possible glory is there to fire
her with ambition? The poorest boy
that Is born in our land today" she
shouted, shaking fat forefinger at
baldheaded man who sat near the stage
and looked as IL be was sorry that lie
had come. may aspire to an office
which carries with it more power than
is welded by any prince or king or en-
peror on earth. There is something
for him to live for, to strive for. There
is always the glorious incentive that
makes for greatness. However humble
his surroundings, there is the ever
present possibility that he may some
day stand in the fierce white light OF
publicity with the destiny of the nation
in his hands.
But for the fair haired girl who
plays with him, what glorious hope is
there? What dreams of future great
ness are there for her to dream? What
does the future hold for her. that she
should consecrate herself to the
achievement of the sublime? Degraded
at the very threshold Of life, what as
pirations may find Judgement in her
soul?"
She paused for breath, and also to
permit the ladies present to applaud
her eloquence.
II repeat" she shouted, after the
storm Of approval had died away,
what glory does the future hold for
herr"
WELL" said the baldheaded man,
she might strive to become worthy OF
one of those cornhusk bonnets that the
Kansas people are giving away"

several inches of dust all summer, or
has been in the same condition as near
ly any other state in the Union.
To remedy this condition is what
causes tho Kentuckians to think of the
before mentioned combination-the
pneumatic. The state can i'll afford to
go to the expense of building n system
of good roads, and in looking for an al
tentative measure the division has hit
upon the convicts as the proper class to
help them out.
The officers of the division have been
in communication with prominent men
throughout tho country, particularly
those interested in the good roads move
ment and in this way have received
unexpected encouragement. 1t seems to
be the consensus of opinion that the use
of convicts is the only way in which
the roads of the country can he speedily
and economically placed in proper con-
dition for traffic at all seasons of the
year. In urging the use of the class
some of the advocates show that in
such use they would not be coming in
contact with any class of free labor, as
the improvement of the public roads in
the United States has progressed so lit
tie that there is no such thing as u road
building trade. and, again, it is pointed
out that good roads are for the entire
people, and the convicts, being support
ed by the people, should be made to
build and repair them.
The division will use the matter it is
collecting as the basis for a bill to be
presentsd in the next lagiSlat trre
