or the gIe eat resort-it Ia a queer and some
what humiliating statement to make, but
II Is the absolute fact-even the ministers
and priests of the once prosperous Long
Branch churches will tell you that, and
lament and moralize sadly over II. 1t might
be said. in reply to all this, that other IA
nous American summer resorts thrive and
prosper without the gambling element. But
they have never received and entertained
and provided ways and means for the gam
blers and then driven them away-that is
the difference. 1t seems to be the inevi-
table fate of American summer resorts that
once make room for the heavy gambling
crowd. and then. suddenly becoming con-
servative. drive them away. to rapidly
slump into the ''also ram column. The
gamblers are sore on such a place on ac-
count Of the treatment handed out to
them, and the respectable element keep
away from 1t because of its previous name
for harboring the gamblers. 1t is for this
reason-and some others-that disinterested
students of such situations are of the
opinion that Saratoga is about to make the
same disastrous mistake again that 1t made
years ago. c. L. c.

YANKEE SARDINES.
A Maine Imitation That Has Almost
Supplanted the Genuine Article.


From the New York Sun.
ut is fact that can't be denied" said q
wholesale grocer that there are compare
lively few imported sardines, and conse-
quently few sardines at all, sold in this
country nowadays. and yet not one con-
sumner in a thousand knows the difference
so nearly do the fish sold for sardines ap-
proach the genuine, both in appearance and
taste. Nineteenth of our sardines come
from Maine. There are in PASSPORT, Me-
alone, two dozen or more places where the
mock sardine is prepared and boxed, and
there are many other at Lubec, Jonesport
and other towns of the Maine coast. The
business began as long ago as 1876. 1t was
far seeing New Workers. They began at
PASSPORT. not as sardine packers-that was
an after thought-but In packing small her
ring in odd shaped little wooden kegs, the
pickle that preserved them being high with
spices. These herring were placed on the
market as Russian herring and for q long
time their cheap and fraudulent fish was on
the bills of fare of the swell restaurants Of
this city and elsewhere as the highest
priced relish they served.
THE enterprising New Workers. made
money fast in their venture, but they got
the idea that there was more money still in
modelling the herring after the sardines
put up in France, although some shrewd
Yankees had experimental extensively and
used up no little capital years before in
efforts to work out similar idea to prac-
teal results, but without success. They
had found it easy to cook the callow Maine
herring, pack II in olive oil in imitation
sardine boxes with French labels in imita-
ton of the labels on the imported sardines
and give them every appearance of the
genuine imported article; but when this
Yankee sardine went to the table it's fraudu-
lent character became at once apparent
The soft. rich flavor of the imported sar-
dine was not there, but only the unmistaka-
BILE taste of the native herring.

in Saratoga.

The Ugly White Man.

\ traveller in the interior of Africa thus
describes the effect which his presence had
upon the natives: "My appearance on
this occasion, as on many others, excited
Il universal shrek Of surprise and horror,
especially among the women, who were
not little terrified at seeing such an out
cast Of nature as they consider white man
to be peeping into their huts and asking
for little water or milk The chief feel
ing that my appearance inspired | could
easily perceive to be disgust, FIR they were
firmly persuaded that the Wilderness of the
skin is the effect of disease and sign of
weakness, and there is not the least doubt
that the white man is looked upon by them
as being greatly inferior to themselves.
One day, after bargaining for some onions
with country girl, she told me that if
would take off my tu1ban and show her
my head she would give me five more on :
ions. insisted upon having eight, which
she gave me- When removed my tur-
ban she started back at the sight of my
shaver crown, and when | jocularly asked
her whether she should like to have hus-
band with such head she expressed the
greatest surprise and disgust and declared
that she would rather have the ugliest
black slave for husband. -

Sacrificed to Football.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3O.-Nineteen lives
were lost on the football field during the
season of 1908; one boy was driven insane
from injuries; l3 players were severely in
iured, some of them being disabled for life,
while the number of minor but painful
accidents goes into the hundreds, and the
list of the severely injured necessarily also
is incomplete.
The feature of this tabulation is that it
shows the serious casualties particularly
were confined to unframed players. No
member of any of the irst-class elevens
was killed or permanently disabled. One
Yale player and one Harvard player suf-
fered broken leg.
No player in any of the teams of the
''big nine in the West was the victim Of
any hurt worse than wrenched shoulder,
a bruised head, a sprained knee or turned
ankle
In consequence of the injuries sustained
by their players several Of the minor schools
have forbidden the game of football. Tw"
towns-Columbu junction, Pa, and
Greenfield, Ohio-have stopped the spor.
as the result of petitions circulated by par

An Obstinate Major.

Many amusing stories are told of the
great formality blended with humorous
brusqueness and independence which char
acterized early Revolutionary days. An
incident of camp life is related by the au :
thor of ''Romance and Realism Of the
Southern Gulf Coast
In 1898 the first United States troops
that came down the Mississippi were
quartered at Fort Adams. General Wiki
inson, Colonel Hamtramck, Major Butler,
Captain Green and other officers were
merry over their punch one night, and the
general, by some accident, got his cue
burned Off Angry at the laugh which
followed his mishap, he next day issued
an order forbiding any officer to appear
with cue. Obedient to orders, all the
officers but Major Butler cut off their cues,

peared without changing the style of his

The major was put under arrest, but
he declared obstinately that he would spend
the rest of his life in prison before he
would comply with such silly command.
Soon afterward he was taken very i'll, and,
realizing that he was at the point of death,
he gave instructions for his burial, which
he knew would be witnessed by the whole
command.

Value Of the Hay Crop.

The hay crop of this Country is more
important to farmers than wheat, as hay
can be baled and sent to market or be used
on the farm; but one reason why hay should
not be sold is because it contains more of
the mineral elements than does grain. More
profit is made from hay than from any other
staple crop, as it is the main reliance for
winter feeding, while the manure from hay
contains plant food that is more evenly
balanced than that from any other source.
To derive the most benefit from hay, how
ever, is to feed it in connection with less
valuable bulky food, using bran or linseed
meal to make the ration better and more
acceptable, and especially should this course
be pursued when there has been short
hay crop.
