GAMBLING IN MEXICO
Not Much Sympathy Wasted On
the Lambs Who Are Shedred

Every few months q sensations al story
comes from the City Of Mexico to the
effect that wealthy visitors have been
heeced by Mexican gamblers. The WIS.,
itors are generally Americans and the
amounts lost are large. The stories of
these games are full of hints of my ster-
iou5 and wonderful devices for c0ntroll-
ing the wheel or the run of the cards,
IS the case may be, and there are al
ways masked and cloaked cOnfederates
of the regular dark lantern variety,
who walk on tip-tOe, do marvellous
sleigh t-of-hand performances and fade
into the darkness upon the approach OF
the officers of the law. The stories are
of the yellow backed variety and the
visitor always poses as ''victim."
These cases, writes correspondent,
do not call for the waste of much SYM
psthy for the individuals who are
f1eeced. The visitor is in the City of
Mexico for a good time. He has money
to burn and endeavors to incinerate it
in the most exciting way possible.
There are many seductive ways of pur-
suing this advertisement in the City of
Mexico-in fact such reputation has
that place that 1t is sometimes called
the "Paris of America.
Every hotel in this "Psris of Ameri-
car is infested with leeches who live
upon the credulity and liberality of
others, and when the willing guide can
conduct his still more willing vic
tim" through half mile of dimly lit
stone passages before arriving at
the place where the wheel goes round,
the latter Is quite ready to stake on
such romantic surroundings. The
American is sure of his ground, for he
comes from the shsrpest nation in the
world, where bunco steerers and gold
brick men are q feature of every day
life. The roulette wheel he has seen
many times. the poker game is familiar
to his native soil and he argues that it
cannot be possible for a foreigner to
beat him at his own game. In brief,
he is easy, and his confidence costs him
dear.
There are no closer fgurers or more
foxy financiers in the world than those
of Mexico. When they gamble they
bring to bear the experience
of generations to outwit their
victims. They are diplomats, they
are plausible and insinuating. The
brusque American Is putty in their
bands and his money Is theirs when he
still has it in the bank. There is
nothing in Mexico to be had except by
Legitimate investment and close at
tentiOn to business. This is really
truer of Mexico than of the United
States, though it is y trite axiom here.
But what is the use, for so long as the
world lasts the people who want to get
| rich quick, when they lose their money,
will put up sorrOwful story and de-
mand the punishment of their par to ers
in the cheat.

The New Man In Town.

Those who have lived in countr Y
village are well aware of the i'm
portance attaching to a new man in
town. His advent may influence the
community from center to circum-
ference, as is we'll illustrated in the
following correspondence from the lit
tie town of Vollsnd, which appears in
the Horton Headlight: 1.-The Chicago D.,
Rock Island and Pacific has made
Vollsud permanent night tele-
graph station. This is benefit to US
in several ways. 1t brings $45 per
month into the town, some of which
will be spent here. It gives US a
new citizen, making the population of
Volland now IA, and it gives US snoth-
err young man in the society of the
town, and this is what the town need
ed the worst of anything we know of,
as there have been only three young
men here and four young ladies. This
will make the set complete. We do not
know what kind of a young man he
is, but hope that the young people of
Vollsnd will receive him with open
arms and make life seem one happy
dream to him during his stay here. -
