Plenty of managers and actors can
find their way into the bankruptcy
court without guide. Many of them
have gone through bankruptcy pro-
ceedinGs and have etnepged to win
new fortunes.
Mrs. Leslie Carter rs an example of
the actress that can't quit. Her mar
riage 10 young Payne hurt David Be
lasco so much that CHS manager, who
really had taught Mrs. Carter all the
acting she knows, cut loose from her
altogether.
She passed under the management
Of Charles DEl1ngsh2m, and she and
the playwright that wrote 'CAso'' for
her QuaEreled. Again she Lost out, and
again there was kong vacation and
no play. And Norma AIunro, who had
been her closest friend, sued her for
money, and mechanics Ken was
placed upon her studio building in
New York in another case.

had come to camp with her. But there

Quotation That Saved Treaty.

IL all happened on the tesselated
floor of the hall OF audience in that
immense, fortress-like, moated and
Fashioned palace so famous In Kabul
for the holy warblings OF the
thrushes in its flower garden and
for a harem filled with sylphs. Habib
Ullah, on his golden chair OF state,
was dressed in scarlet, a diamond
star on his head. The chief OF the
British mission, with his suite, all
In uniform, had saluted and sat
down. Engrossed on parchment in
duplicate was the treaty, lying In
front OF the Amir on a table where
sweet aloe burned. In was the
Nauroz, or Persian New Years day,
a felicitous coincidence signalized by
dreamy harmonins from hall OF
glass adjoining. An Afghan noble
was awkward enough, just then to
upset the ink over one Of the parch-
ments. Penknives. blottlng paper
and chalk were reQuisitioned In vain
efforts to restore the sullied surface
to its pristine beauty. The Amir was
troubled.
"The look OF the treaty Ia spoil
ed" he said. This is a mole upon
its face"

Bokhara." exclaimed the head OF the
British mission. "for the Indian

So felicitous and so Apostle a
quotation OF this we'll known verse
from Hafz. the poet who speaks
home to the soul OF Habib Ullah,
was hailed with ecstasies OF ap'
plause. The incident, although quite
recent. is already an Afghan classic
and the treaty, as the Amir himself
has vowed. will be remembered fol

The Nelson of the American Navy

The Nelson of the American Navy.
Admiral Walker, who is just dead,
used to be called by his admirers in
the navy the Nelson OF the Ameri-

of sense in the designation-that II
expressed the beliefS that Walker
had the ability and the pluck to win
' any sea fight against any enemy
with any kind of a show. IL he could
have a show. However this was mere
admiration. Walker was more than
an object OF supposititious guess
ing; he was recognized as head and
shoulders above any navy captain
OF his time. The good men believed
this and sat at his feet. Among the
good men We can count Robley

Conviction came to the writer when
he was serving as "cub" editor on

"uonest rambling" Is a Myth.

The story of gambling in New
York today indicates that even un-
der the best conditions, the player
cannot "buck the game" and win
I for long. Gambling houses do not
exist. do not entertain in their lavish
fashion simply because the profess
sional gambler is inspired by a phil
anthropic desire to afford rest and
recreation to tired humanity and to
give the public an opportunity to
pick up money without any effort
Gamblers are in the game to make
their living, and a good one, too.
They know that the chances of their
patrons winning easy money are
about one in a hundred, that all the
chances are in favor of the gambling
house keepers themselves. The mo-
ment a player enters a resort of this
kind his money is as good as lost
IIt is practically stolen from his
pocket.
Take the case of roulette-the
most famous gambling game in the
world, which may briefly be thus
described: A marble is dropped in
the wheel after It has been started
spinning by the dealer and finds a
resting place when the motion of the
wheel permits in one of the number
ed compartments which form the
outer bank of the wheel box. These
comparents are alternately black and
red in color. BY electrical control
push buttons concealed on the
edge OF the table-the action of the
wheel can be checked and the par
titions OF the red or the black COM
partments, at the operators will,
can be moved so as to prevent the
marble falling into a compartment
OF that color.
In faro the style OF deal box
known as the high layout" is a
triumph of mechanical art. Millions
OF dollars have been stolen from
players by its use. II is larger and
deeper than the ordinary layout, so
that a portion of Il, which does not
