His eyes fed eagerly and hungrily on

His manner might be blithe, but his

WHERE CHANCE is RULER.
PaIatiaI Gambling Resort Which
Thrives in Open Fashion in the
City of Mexico.

been the paradise of the gambler.
There all forms of gambling have been
conducted openly and with the sane
tiCn of the government and the local
police. Recently it has been announced
that this vice is to be suppressed, or
more strictly regulated, but as yet the
edict has not gone into effect. An at
tempt in the same direction was made
some years ago. But gambling is as
much part and parcel of the MeXican's
nature as of the heather Chinee. The
measure proved intensely unpopular,
being vigorously opposed not only by
the professional sporting element, but
by many of the most influential and
wealthy subjects of the republic, and
finally the government climbed
down.
Determined, however, not to be al
together outdone, the authorities con-
ceived the idea of imposing a heavy
tax upon gambling and a law was
passed requiring every gambling re-
sort to pay the enormous daily license
of $3.50, says the Chicago Chronicle.
On the day this measure became law
the gambling establishments through
out the country closed their doors, all
save one. Senior Martel presented him-
self at the taX-gatherer's office with
the amount of the license in his hand
and demanded the privilege of keep
ing open his house. The license was
granted by the dumfOunded officials
and long before nightfall it was noised
all over the city that Martel's estab-
| lishment on the Gala de Gante was
continuing business as usual. That
night the place was literally thronged
by the wealthiest sports" in the city,
and Senior Marters profits ran into
four figures.
Next day other houses took their
licenses, but MartePs bold venture
made his establishment far and away
the most popular among the gambling
fraternity. His success continued, and
| he opened other establishments, for
each of which he pays the enormous
tax of something like 100000 a year.
When it became evident to the au-
thorities that Martel had ''come to
stay" and taking into consideration
the immense revenues they were re-
ceiving from his enterprise, govern
ment official was appointed to preside
over each of his business places, this
fact greatly enhancing MartePs pres
| tige.
The average daily expenses of the
great "fnancier's" establishments
amount to the incredible sum of eS,-
600. That in the Gale de Gante is
sumptuously furnished and those
guests who can afford the luxury of
gambling here enjoy the choicest Gig
ars and wines that money can pur-
chase, ''free gratis"

HUMANITY OF BIRDS.
Some of the Interesting Traits of
Common SOnSsters Discovered
by Observation.

When once you have won birds con-
with him, it will surprise you to find
what a wonderfully interesting little
chap he is, says A. H. Verrill in Les
lies Monthly. The plainest and COM
monest kind has a multitude of
strange and interesting habits you
have never dreamed of, and even the
despised English sparrow will exhibit
traits of intelligence and affection
which will at once win for him a warm
corner in your heart.
Bird life is not all pleasure and sun
shine by any means. Tragedy and
drama there is in plenty, and many
a wee bird finds life just as serious "a
problem as we humans. Comedy and
humor there is, too, and some species
seem actually to appreciate joke.
On one occasion, while watching a
busy downy woodpecker industriousiy
boring for grubs, a sharp-shinned
hawk dashed by my face straight for
the little drummer. Even quicker was
the woodpecker as he slipped behind
the protecting limb, while the bold
marauder, baffled, veered off, perched
on a neighboring birch, and after star
ing with savage hauteur for moment
disappeared among the trees. Nc
sooner was his enemy out of sight
than Mr.. Woodpecker bobbed out from
his shelter, and, perking his head on
one side, appeared to wink in such a
knowing manner that half expected
to hear him exclaim: didn't L foo
him neatly?"

on, those were jolly days.
When you and 1 were boys,
And sought in devious ways
A lads mischievous joys;
When down the rain-pipe sheer
With many rips we slid
But hold No lad should hear
What Dad in boyhoOd did.
And yet, l can't forget
The tricks that we once played,
The FRANKS we should forget,
The times we disobeyed;
How to the swimming-po
In secret we would fly
But hush! No boy in school
Should think his Daddy sly.
1 can't remember half
The things we used to DO,
But I recall the calf
We painted red and blue,
The gun we stole in fear
And ruined with our fun
But stay! The boy may hear
The things that Dad has done.
For memory I give thanks,
And can most frankly say
That those were merry pranks
To laugh about to-day;
1t really rather cheers
To talk of sport we've had
