The dffident young man had wanted to
propose to the girl, but for the life of
him he did not know how to go about it.
lie read books on the subject and sought
information from men who had experi-
ence, and while the theories were adm-
rable, in every instance he found that
the practice thereof was different thing.
He was walking with her one evening,
thinking over these things, when her
shoe became united. She stuck out her
pretty little foot with a smile, looked
down at 1t, and he fell on his knees and
tied the lace. Then he walked on with
her. and the shoe became united again.
The third time it happened he was ready
as before.
See il you can't tie knot that will
stick" she said, as he worked away at
it.
"If l can't know man who can," he
said.
"Do you want him to tie itW she ask
ed coquettishly.
"Yes," he replied.
She jerked her foot away.
He smiled to himself.

THE MANIA FOR GAMBLING.
Stronger Now Than at Any Tim,
Since Civilization began,

! Stronger Now Than at Any Time
Since Civilization Began.
The faro banker could not gamble un.
less his patrons did so, the lottery owner
could not gamble if nobody bought his
tickets, and the bookmaker would not bs
in position to carry on his business un-
less his customers accepted his odds. A
logical classification would include as
gamblers those on both sides of the table
the faro dealer and the faro "punter,"
the buyer and the seller of lottery tickets.
the 'bucket shop keeper and the fire.
quenter who buys stocks, grain or prod
uce of any kind on margin.
And one other distinction should also
be made: There are "bucket shop" keep
ers who swindle their customers with
great regularity, and there are bookmak-
crs who default, as do bankers. The
stock dealers and bookmakers who are
guilty Of these practices are usually class
ed as gamblers but in reality they are
thieves. The word gambler means a
man who CANDLES without cheating or
stealing.
1t is quite certain that there never
was time in the history of civilization
when gambling was so prevalent among
all classes of people as it is at present.
In fact, many legitimate branches Of
business are tinged with the hue of spec
ulation. Such persons as do not bet upon
horse races or speculate in wheat or
stocks crafty their gaming propensity by
dabblng in real estate, in mining shares,
in oil or other so called business" enter
priscs, the methods Of which are nothing
more nor less than variations of the rou-
lette table.
The styles of gambling are constantly
changing. A hundred years ago gentle
men staked their money on various games
with cards or dice, and extraordinary wa
gers were sometimes made on these
games with popularity of which did not
always depend upon their intrinsic charm,
but upon the fact that men of a specula-
tive turn Of mind could find no other con-
venient form of hazard
The class of men who, during the last
century, wagered thousands of pounds on
the turn of card or on the emptying of
a dice box now speculate on the stock or
produce market and on horse racing,
which at present ves with the Stock Ex-
change for supremacy in the amount Of
money risked. d.-International Magazine.

An Important Question.

How many fines collected by con-
stables in Wilmington and the rest
Of the State, are paid over to the
State Auditor or State Treasurer?
1t would be interesting to know the
amount each constable collected.
A justice of the peace has no right
to receive fine, but when he I'M
poses fine, is his duty to charge
the constable with it. Then in
March OF each year, the Justice
sends to the State Auditor an ac-
count of the amount each constable
is charged with. Ask States At

THE POET.

His home is in the heights. To him
Men wage battle weird and dim,
Life is mission stern as fate,
And song dread spostolate.
The tolls Of phophecy are his
To hail the coming centuries,
To ease the steps and lift the load
OF souls that falter on the road.
The perilous music that he hears
Falls from the yortice Of the spheres.
He presses on before the race
And sings out Of silent place.
Like faint notes OF forest bird
On heights afar that voice is heard,
And the dim path he breaks today
Will some time be trodden way.
But when the race comes toiling on
That voice of wonder will be gone,
Be heard on higher peaks afar, 3.
Moved upward with the morning star.
o men OF earth. that wandering voice
Still goes the upward way. Rejoice!
