and no future. The turn came suddenly when the prince of Monaco one day ac- cepted an offer of 100000 francs from Francois Blanc, the chief of European gamblers. for the privilege of opening and operating the Casino as gambling hall. Money literally flowed into the cof- fers of Francois Blanc and his fellow concessionaires from the day the place was opened. and has continued to flow ever since.
 When Blanc died he left very large fortune to his widow. The Casino was then handed over to a company with an enormous capital, and the prince of Mon aco renewed the concession for the mod est consideration of 5000 week, with an extra trifie of s100,0O0 a year to keep up his bodyguard The whole state has grown rich since the gamblers came, and not the state only, but the coast for hundred miles around. Sandy soil origi- nally worth $25 an acre. fifty miles from Monaco, has realized s10000 an acre in thirty years; the two hotels In the state have multiplied by twenty-four, and as against three jewellers, there are today fifteen jewellers and eighty-five wine mer- chants.

grown rich in spite of themselves through the remarkable development of the state. The people of Monaco have the good sense not to gamble themselves, and no citizen, save on one day year, may en- ter the Casino If men from other lands, with more money than brains, choose to lose their brains and leave their money in Monaco" the native argument seems to run, i've have nothing to do with 1t. At least we will use their mo- ney well and wash our hands of the channel through which it comes."
 All this profit Is over and above the actual expense of running the Casino it. self, which foots up to nearly $5,000,000 a year. It costs, for instance, about $205,

BOYS KILL FATHER
 AND BURN BODY
SONS OF FARMER ARE ARRESTED, CHARGED WITH SHOOTING HIM AND BURNING THE BODY IN A STRAW STACK.

St. Louis, November 5.-A dispatch to the Post-Dispatch from Columbus, Neb., tells of the killing last Friday of farmer named Gerhard Borchers, living several miles northwest of Humphreys, by Her man, 14-year-old son, who used a shot gun, which he had purchased for that purpose. Then with the help of two broth ers-August, aged 10, and John, aged 8 years-Herman dragged the body of his father to a straw stack and set fire to it.
 This is the story secured by Sheriff Byrnes from the three children, who were in custody. Herman, who Is said to have fired the gun that killed his father, im- plicates his younger brothers equally with himself, while they put te blame on i'm. The only motive for the crime given is that the father, with whom the children had lived alone since the mothers death, had not treated them kindly. Nelghbors of the Borchers say they know of no mistreatment on the part of the man.

PROFITS OF MONTE CARLO.
Money Flows Into Golfers, While Ex- penses Are $5,o0o,ooo a Year.

From Leslie's eekly.
 Solomon, the wise man of the script ures, and many other sages since his d~y, have given, forth the solemn counsel that "the ways of the wicked shall not prosper,e and also the correlative that righteousness is profitable both for this world and the world that Is to come. however true these sayiIigr may be as to general principles of human conduct. the exceptions to be found in every age and every part of the world are numerous and striking.
 Gambling, for example, has ever been justly held as a sinful practice, one of the most demoralizing of human vices, and yet today the richest and most pros- porous state in the world is Monaco. wherein is situated Monte Carlo. the most famous-or nfamous-s;ambling hell on the globe. Fifty years ago, when the Casino at Monte Carlo was first opened, Monaco was on the verge of bankruptcy, an insignificant, miserable little princi- pality, with no assets worth mentioning

Congress and Revenue.

\ few years ago tue people of this country were astounded at the magnificent prodigality of the "billion dollar congress- which spent ] billion dollars within tive years. Now we are called upon to consider the case of billion dollar se3sion-a billion dollars appropriated within less than one year. This Is about thirteen dol lars fer every man, woman and child in the country, and more than seventy five dollars for every fam ly of six persons. ThIs im- menSe sum Was paid into the United States Treasury by the people, lich and poor alike the poor paying almost as much as tho rich. At the present rate of increase of proiligacy the people will soon have to furnish the money fer q trillion dollar con gress. Many people who ought to, do not know that whenever they buy a paper of needles, or anything made of metal, or leath- CT, or cotton or wool, or silk or other fioer, a portion of the pur- chase money Is tax and goes to supply the cash for the vast and in most cases, useless expendi- tues of Congress -cash which the retailer has paid to the whole saler, the wholesaler to the job Der, the jobbcr to importer, and the importer to the revenue col lector.-Farm and Ranch.

IS WHOSE SKELETON?
Ghastly Discovery Made by Work men Who are Repairing
 the White House.

Washington, Aug 3.LWork- men employed in tearing out the interior of the White House last week unearthed deep down under the basement portion of human skeleton. The discovery created consternation among the negro laborers, who are of a supers titi- ous nature, and they were only kept at work with difficulty. Strenuous efforts have been made to keep the discovery secret.
 Pending a more careful investi- gation of the bones exhumed from such an unlookedfor but historical resting place, the most rigid regu- lations have been adopted to pre- vent persons not actually employ ed in the mechanical work from entering the building. Even clerks and messengers belonging to the executive force are excluded un- der the existing order.
 The mysterious discovery was made while the laborers were en- gagged in excayating & vast pit or subcellar below the floor of the basement for the new heating ap- paratus. After going down about 10 feet il massive stone vault was encountered. It proved to be what were apparently the founda- tion walls of an old house that had evidently stood on the same spot where the White House was after ward erected. It will be remem- bered that the land upon which the White House and adiacent public buildings are built is made land, developed to it's present con- dition by filling in and grading.
 In this same excavation was found all immense ovan an,bcd- ded in the stone wall, and Il. close proximity to the oven were found the bones. It was the dis. coveiy of the bones in Conjunc- ton with the oven that terrnrized the workmen and caused them to believe that they had uncarthed an ancient tomb,
