Betting Ring Deserted.


For the first time since the anti
betting law went into effect on June
II, the betting ring at Delmar track
was deserted by the members of the
Central Turf Association, who are be-
hind the plan to make bets on the
races In manner not contrary to the
law and after the first race persons
who wished to back their Judgment
financially on the merits Of the sever
al horses were forced to make i'm
promptu wagers with other spectators
at the race course. Sheriff Herpel of
st. Louis county, accompanied by sew
eral deputies, took possession Of the
betting ring just before the horses
went to the post in the first race, but
only one arrest was made, Charlie Gel
la, a member Of the Central Associa-
ton, who was later held under $1,000
bond to answer a charge Of violating
the anSi-betting law.
1t is stated more arrests would have
been made, but at the time the depu-
ty sherlffs closed in on the betting
ring, all members of the association
with the exception Of Celia were
watching the horses parade before 90
ing to the post, and hearing Of the ac-
ton OF the coutny authorities they did
not return to the ring.
The officials Of the Jockey Club an
nounced that the action Of the county
officials will not interfere with the
race programme but it is doubtful if
an attempt will be made by the mem
oers Of the association to make wag-

THE GREAT
SEAL OF
MARYLAND

A woman should insist upon being
mistress Of her own kitchen, but un-
less she possesses selfcontrol, patience
and tact she is really just as unfit to
manage her servants as a child. 1t is
very true saying that a man or wo-
man who has not learned to control
self is not fit to control others. II a
woman cannot 60 into her kitchen
without losing her patience or losing
her temper she would do better to
stay out of it. Fault must be found, T,
but with servants, as with children, it
should be in a quiet, dignified way,
and proper time should be chosen
for it. A woman who does not know
any better than to take time when q
servant is particularly busy or has
some special piece of work she is try
ing to get through, such as washing,
ironing or getting dinner, will never
be likely to have good service. II she
scolds or maps she at once lowers her
self to the level of her servant and
loses the respect which every mistress
of a house should strive to deserve
from those about her.-Woman's Life.

John and James.

They got mixed at their birth, and
it was never settled which saw the
light Of day first, question which
caused many hot disputes between the
twins, for each claimed a seniority
over the other of about five minutes.
While still in the cradle they were
named John and James, and their
mother marked them with ribbons,
John with red and James with q
blue.
When they reached the proper age
they were sent to the district school,
still wearing the colored ribbons by
which to distinguish them, and 80 it
happened that they got the nicknames
of Red Jack and Blue Jim.
Both were full of pranks and kept
their teacher in constant worry. II
Jack did something for which he ex-
pected q reprimand, he would ex-
change ribbons with Jim, and the
teacher could not tell which one to
punish.
At sixteen the twins were sent to
college in distant State, where their
wonderful resemblance led to much
sport among the college boys and held
the faculty at great disadvantage.
Both boys were athletic and joined
the base ball and boat clubs. They
we're popular and soon made many
friends and managed to fall in love
with sisters.
Jacks sweetheart was named Mary
and Jim's Jennie, and each girl pre-.
sented her lover with ring as mark
of recognition.
But the fun loving spirits Of the
twins led them to play jokes even on
their sweethearts, and the rings and
ribbons were often transferred, and
while Jack called upon Jennie Jim
would be visiting with Mary.
"Jack," said Mary on one of these
occasions when she was entertaining
Jim unawares, "tather says when We
get married he will set you up in bus
iness"
"That is very good of him." said
Jim, "but l don't intend to marry
you"
"What?" said Mary.
II said that l did not intend te
marry you. This thing has got tc
stop. I'm tired of it. And, rising
he departed, leaving the girl In tears

"Then is it all over between u.s.

eyes, it u.s." replied Jack. "Thi'
thing has gone far enough, I'm tires
of it,"
Jack then took his departure, leav
ing behind him another disconsolatt
girl.
| Neither one said word to the 9th
er about what had transpired, and the
next day when the twins were on,
walking, wearing their proper colors
they met Mary and Jennie. The boys
stopped to have a chat, but the two
girls passed them without look.
"What is the matter now," asked
Jack.
II don't know replied Jim, "but
something serious must have happen.

"Oh, nothing" Jack replied, "only

to marry"
"And you told her thaty"

"Well, I'll be hangedl" said Jim
II told Mary the same thing"
"That settles it," said Jack; "we've
got to square ourselves somehow"
