NO CHANCE
FOR GAELIC.
Even German VIII Soon De Extinct
in america Thinks Dr. Douglas
Hyde.

4 number OF Irish deputations
greeted ID. Douglas Hyde, president
of the Gaelic league, when he de-
barked at Queenstown from the
White Star line steamer Celtic Sat
urday, and presented him with ad-
dresses congratulating him on his
splendid reception i'm the United
States and especially for the honor of
being received by President Roose-
welt. DIR. Hyde said that he would
never forget the Kindness OF the
American people and that the Irish
owed them a deep debt OF graft
tude. Although his mission was
most successful, he did not think
there was any prospect of spreading
the Gaelic language In the United
States or Canada. No language would
live there except the English. Even
German, which 10 now spoken so
generally in the United States, he be
lieyed would become extinct there
in the next generation.

Around the fireside or about the

and grown-ups can play with their
wits and see how many words can be
made.
20 people making the greatest num-
ber of words will each receive little
box containing $1,000 gold piece.
10 people will each win one box con-

300 people will each win a box con-

1t is really most fascinating bit of
fun to take up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
be added.
A few rules are necessary for abso-
lutte fair play.
Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted, but no
name of person. Both the singular
and plural can be used, as for instance
grape" and grapes"
The letters in "Y-LO-Grape- Nuts"
may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes, all those beginning with A to-
gether and those beginning with E to
come under E, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces, in the A. f.
and other columns, to fill in later as
new words come to you, for they will
spring into mind every evening.
1t is almost certain that some con-
testants will tie with others. In such
cases a prize identical in value and
character with that offered in that
class shall be awarded to each. Each
one will be requested to send with the
list of words plainly written letter
describing the advantages of Crane

quired to purchase a pkg These LET

flourishes, but simple, truthful state

What Webster Wanted.

Daniel Webster once dined with an
old Boston merchant, and when they
came to the wine a dusty old bottle
was carefully opened by the servant
and passed to the host. Taking the
bottle, he filled Webster's glass and
handed it to him. Then, pouring out
another for himself he held it to the
light and said:
Tow do you like it. Mr.. Webster"
Il think it is a fine specimen of old
port"
Now, can you guess what it cost
me?" asked the host
Surely not" said Webster. 81 only
know that it is excellent"
We'll, now, | can tell you, for |
made a careful estimate the other
day. When l add the interest to the
first price, find that it costs me the
sum of just slips per glass"
Good gracious! You don't say so?"
cried Webster And then. draining his
glass, says a biographer, he presented
1t again. with the remark:
Fill it up again as quick as you
can, for | want to stop that confound.

after you have been 2 or 8 weeks on

statement of how you used to be and

WITHDREW FROM CAUCUS.
Senator Patterson Leaves Democrats
on Treaty Question.

Washington. = Democratic senators
perfected Saturday what they believe
TO be a perfect organization to defeat
the Santo Domingo treaty and place
the minority in a position to compel a
strict party vote on other questions
likely to arise during the present ses-
sion. Two resolutions were adopted
at caucus continuing five hours,
which the Democrats assert not only
will dispose of the DOMINICAN treaty,
but will furnish the precedent for de-
manding a united party vote on ali
questions that may be considered par
tisan in their character, when two
thirds of the Democratic senators so
decide. The resolutions follow:
Resolved, that the Senate ought
not to advise and consent to the treaty
between the United States and the re-.
public of Santo Domingo, now pending
before the Senate.
Resolved, that if two-thirds of the
caucus shall vote in favor of the fore
going resolution, it shall be the duty
of every Democratic senator to vote
against the ratification of the treaty"

caucus were Berry, Clark of Montana,
Gearin, McLaurin and Stone, all out

fore the vote was taken. Teller voted
for the first resolution and was ex-
cused from voting on the second, and

GAM BLING STOPPED
BY GOVERNOR FOLK OF MISSOURI
How He Upheld the Law in the Face
of Fierce Opposition-Raid that
Closed Delmar Race Track.


Among other laws passed by the
Missouri Legislature which had the
active opposition of the corporations
at long range, was the law prohibiting
race track gambling and making it a
felony. The st. Louis race track,
known as the Delmar track, was one
of the most active gambling places in
the country, and the telegraph COM
panies sent the reports of the Delmar
races all over the land, turning a
pretty penny thereby. The track was
outside the corporation at st. Louis, in
st. Louis county, where the governor
seemed to have no power to enforce
the law.
The Delmar people kept on racing
and gambling. Local sentiment in ST.
Louis county was with them, and nat
urally the local officers were in sym
pathy with the gamblers, and they in
vited all Missouri to laugh at its over
Jealous governor. Lawyers very gen.
orally agreed that the governor had
no power; but Folk determined for
himself that it was not only his right
but his duty to stop organized crime
anywhere in the state.
So one day squad of st. Louis po-
licemen appeared at the gates of the
Delmar tracks and asked for admis-
sion, and being refused, departed. That
was ALL The next day they appeared,
asked for admission, and being re-
fused, walked in. They made no ar
rests, but stood around, and left when
the races We're over. The next day
the same squad of policemen appeared
at the gates, marched in and at the
proper time arrested the bookmakers.
Then Folks intimate knowledge of
The Colorado statesman., 1906-02-10

human nature came into play. Book
makers are proud men, and are prone
to glory in their independence. and
their superiority to the law. So the
Delmar gentry were loaded into an
open patrol wagon, and instead of be-
ing driven quickly and in surrepti-
tious manner to their destination, were
driven at a dead walk, six miles
through the heart of the city to the
police station, surrounded by a hoot-
ing, jibing crowd of scornful citizens.
When the crowd tired and threatened
to dissolve, the drivers of the patrol
wagon, following instructions, slowed
up or stopped to let the crowd re-
gather and jeer at the law-breakers.
The next day, when it was rumored
that there would be a big raid, and
that the track-frequenters would be
hauled into court, the gates of the Del
mar race track were closed, and have
been closed ever since. A notice was
posted on the Delmar gate that, owing
to the arbitrary action of the police,
the races would discontinue.
The owners of the Delmar track rep
resented great wealth and much polit-
ical power in Missouri. They COM
planned bitterly that the law did not
in stopping felonious violations of the
law, but, nevertheless, they quit. The
horses are gone, the bookmakers have
fed, and gambling upon the results of
the, st. Louis races has ceased all over
the United States.-William Allen
White. in McClure's Magazine.
