Gambling In England Two Hun
dred Years Ago. 4

After the advent of the house of
Hanover, the favorite games at court
were "quadrille," an improvement of
"ombre," and Commerce" The gains
and losses of the kings and queens
were as rule restricted to 100
guineas, but on twelfth night it
was customary for thousands to
change hands, says Longman's Maga-
zine. On one occasion Lady Cowper, a
lady in waiting, refused, for the sake
of her children, to take part in the
game, as none sat down to the table
with less than & 200. About the year
174O, a rage of ''whisk,' - or whist, set
in, but at first it was considered too
wise game for ladies to join in.
Hume, the historian, never went to
bed without his whist, and even the
great johnson regretted that he had
not learned to play cards. In 1742,
Horny Walpole finds it absolutely
necessary to learn +whisk,' having
waited in vain for it's being left off. !"
We find him in another letter threat
ening to build an altar to "Pam" to
commemorate the escape of his charm
ing duchess of Grafton, who, it ap-
pears, had been playing cards in Rome,
when she ought to have been at
cardinals reception, where the floor
fell in and all the slonsignors were
precipitated into the cellar! Cards
were so very much en- evidence in his
time that even invitations were fire.
quently issued and notes written upon
the backs of playing cards, which on
that account were usually plain with
out any design. The chevalier's IA
nous order to retreat at Culloden was
written on the back of the nine of
hearts.
A fresh attempt was made in 1899
to remedy the state of gambling in
England by passing an act which pro-
vided that "any person keeping
house or other place to game in for
feits e20O, half to the prosecutor and
half to the poor of the parish" Where
upon two ladies of title, Mordington
and Casselis, who kept open houses
for gambling, claimed their privilege
of peerage in order to intimidate the
peace officers from doing their duty
and suppressing the public gaming
houses kept by them.

TAVERN TIMES IN THE WEST.
Inns of Forty Years Ago That Dis-
pensed Much Hospitality and
Had High Sounding Names.

There were stage coaches and tav-
ern days in the western states 40
years ago. But while these still ex-
ist in some parts of the country, and
| in England, one would look in vain
to find either now in the states where
they used to be frequent and numer-
ous, says the Chicago Chronicle.
Here and there 40 years ago the
traveller found men and women of
dignity and stateliness who seemed
to belong to an older country. They
were people who stood upon the
heights of honor. A mans word was
his bond, and the stranger who
passed over the threshold of the
home far removed from what was
then the center of population was
entitled to the confdelke and protec-
tion of the owner until he proved
himself unworthy.
AS the new country filled up later
from immigration, and the popula-
ton became more diversified, the old
types gradually passed away. They
moved out into the greater west, and
were finally lost.
But to return to the times and
places when and where they lived
when Indiana and Missouri were
called western states. Pleasure
travel then was confined to steam
boats. When man left the river
and travelled inland he went by stage.
Towns were far apart, and so it came
about that taverns intervened.
At these the traveller got out to eat
and stretch his legs, while the driver
of the stage watered his horses and
readjusted the harness and baggage.
The tavern was usually nothing more
than an ordinary house, but before
each, swinging from a tree or pole,
was the same sort of sign seen in
old English towns, on which, after
the name of the tavern, always a
name of pretension, were the words.
