INDIANA'S MONTE CARLO
Gambling at French Lick Has
Ceased, So Sports Say.
Gov. HanIy, Is Credited with Sc
curing Evidence That Put
Down the Lid.

Terre Haute, Ind, Aug. 9.-Sports
returning from French Lick, Tom Tag
CARTS resort, and West Baden, one
mile from French Lick, report that
gambling has closed there, and that it
| is useless for sports seeking recreation
to visit there.
The lid has been screwed down
tight.
For a number of years any game
could be secured. Everybody knew
that gambling was going on, and sports
from Louisville, Cincinnati, Chicago,
st. Louis, and this city, and occasion
ally a few from indianapolis and
Evansville, would drop in when ever
they wanted game or two. Indeed
it was not confined to gentlemen
sports for ladies' took hand and
risked their dough" with the rest.
Gov. Hanly is credited with putting
quietus to this state of affairs. The
governor has an old-fashioned notion,
it seems, that when man taxes an
oath to enforce the laws, he should do
it, and not get blind as bat and dry
as an Egyptian mummy. He has sent
men to the Indiana Monte Carlo, who
have secured evidence enought to
fill a freight car, and learning of this
the managers have closed down the
games, put out the lights, and there
is nothing doing. OF course meals are
still served, beds furnished, baths and
drinks, but beyond that everybody is
good

In certain very remote town new
bank was started. It was only branch
bank, but that did not dim its luster
or novelty in the eyes Of the backwoods
citizens.
The first deposttor was 81 Fox. 81
was man Of means, but had trusted
for the safety Of his money to his yarn
sock and his gun. Now he felt that, as
the leading citizen of the town. he
ought to encourage the new enterprise.
He put in thousand dollars us soon
as the bnnk opened.
An hour later he came back and ask
ed how money was taken out. The
method of making out check was ex-
planned, and 81 made out one for ST.
600. The cashier was surprised at the
sudden withdrawal, but paid 1t with
out remark. 81 took his money and
walked down to group of men and
displayed 1t. The group entered into
warm but low voiced discussion.
In ten or fifteen minutes 81 walked
into the bank again and told the cash
Ter that he wanted to deposit a thou
sand dollars.
"Why, sir, what is the matter with
your" asked the clerk. you deposited
thousand about an hour ago and took
1t out before 1t had got cold, and now
you want to put 1t back again"
"Well, my friend" said 81. "me and

the thing worked"

WAX FARMING,
A Peculiar chinese Industry and
How 1t ID Conducted,

A Peculiar Chinese Industry and
How 1t ID Conducted.
Among the novel occupations in Chi
mn Is that Of the wax farmer. The en- (.
tire crop Is produced by the labor Of
myriads OF little insects, whose eggs
or cocoons deposited on the limbs and
branches yield rich harvest, which Is
transformed into pure white wax and
marketed ut fair price. The tree
(Ligustrum lucidum which produces
the white wax insect grows in the
Chienchang valley, in the western part
Of China, which is some 5000 feet
above the level of the sea. In March
round brown forms are seen attached
to the limbs and branches. II one of
these should be opened 1t would be
found to contain innumerable white
insects. BY strange law the insect
will not flourish or produce wax In its
birthplace and IL allowed to remain
will drop of in dead mass. The
Chinese have discovered the exact To-
cality where they will flourish to the
best advantage. Transporting the fe
males to the various farming places
some 200 to 400 miles distant in the
province Of Sxechuan gives employ
ment during the season to thousands Of
porters. One Of these waxmaking cen
tiers is ,Kiating.
About May I the female insect Is
nearly grown, and the body Is almost
conichl, with round base. Later on
it becomes mature and begins to de-
posit eggs. At this time the opera
ton Of removing the females from the
limbs and branches to which they are
attached and getting them ready to
turn over to the porter for transit is
commenced. They are thereafter car
ried hundreds Of miles. to the places
where the wax farmers have rows of
the special food plant-a species Of
towering ash FIVE or six feet high
upon which the insects feed and de.
posit their layers Of wax.
Many thousands Of Insects are taken
by each man On trip. They have, to
travel entirely at night with their deli
cate and precious loads, for the mid
day heat would be dangerous to the
lives OF the inmates. The various cities
and villages along the route leave the
gates open, % as to afford free and
unobstructed passageway to the car
