Gambling, and that includes pool SELL
ing, is thing of the past in Butte. The
gambling houses have been closed for
some time and the pool rooms went out
of business yesterday. The touts are all
looking for jobs and the race followers
are a crestfallen and chagrined lot
Even the pool rooms are deserted, save
for few who stand around and gaze
longingly and wistfully on the blank
black boards where only yesterday We're
posted long lists of horses and the odds
against them.
Not only are the pool rooms closed, but
they will remain closed. Mayor Davey
has declared himself to that effect and
he says he will see that his edict is car
RED out to the letter. He says further
that he will bring the matter to the at
tention of the city council at its next
meeting one week from today and will
then present his specific reasons for or
dering the pool rooms closed. He has
no objection to making those reasons
known at present, he says only he thinks
it due the council that it's members
should be apprised of the motives impell-

author whose latest work, "The Crisis"

Churchill was struggling young PEN

fore he began his meteoric career as a
bookman." said Mr.. Campbell today.
He drifted to Washington, then to
Annapolis, before publishing his first
book, which was not a success. He was
engaged to marry a st. Louis belle, who,
having every confidence in his literary
ability. urged that the marriage be con-
summated at once, and that Richard
Carvel." the book upon which he was
then at work. be finished at their home.
Churchill, proud and independent, would
not agree to this, for fear the world
would say that he was living off her
money. So he toiled and shaved away

all who read it. 1t has just made it's ap-

There is a rather curious mSunder-
standing in the pubic mind as to the
identity of Winston Churchill" con-
tinued Mr.. Campbell. There are two
literary men by the same name; the one
an Englishman, son Of Lord Randolph
Churchill; and the American author. The
two men are of near the same age both
bearing somewhat unusual names, and
the mistake is natural. There was so
much confusion in the matter of receiv-
