From the time that horses were first
pitted against each other In tests of speed
gambling has been inseparable from the
sport. but the moral wave has aSsailed
even that form of betting.
Among the reforms instituted by Gov.
Folk of Missouri none has been more i'm
portant than his suppression of gambling
at the tracks. Recently when the horse
racing fraternity threatened to open up
again and give the bookmakerS their old
time chance to get the publlcs money Gov.
Folk satirically remarked that when the
plan was put into execution he would help
to swell the attendance by regiment of
soldiers. The militant young leader of the
western state even called special session
of the legislature to deal with the problem.
In half the states of the Union pool sell
ing Is forbidden. Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, which formerly had famous racing
tracks, now have no chance to bet on the
races unless by stealth in some pool room
or by doing business on the sidewalk with
a handbook man.
Even in New York which has the repu-
tation of being a wide-open town, the pool
room is being fought to its death by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome. Only recently he
made raid on the headquarters of a pool
selling syndicate, supported by men of
standing in social and financial circles and
operated by noted sportsmen. All the ma
terial and papers found in the house were
taken to the district attorneys office, and
among the documents were slips which
showed In one month there was paid out to
those who bet a total of $4,000. Other
figures showed that enough in excess of
this sum had been taken in to enable syn
dictate to come out more than million
ahead per month.
Naturally such enormous profits as these
are worth risking much for, and that is

The Lumber Of the Gases.
AS we went on with our journey, we could
see how important the date palm Is to these
people of the desert. 1t is their bread fire
wood and lumber. The bitches here and there
crossed the streets and in such cases there
were bridges of palm wood. l observed the
doors which go into the walls of the date
gardens. Each has but one and that not
higher than my waist. Indeed some doors
are SO low that the common razor-hack hog
would lose his bristles If he should try to
60 through them. These gates are of palm
planks; they are sawed out by hand and
peCged rudely together. The date tree
forms the pillars which uphold the house
roofs 1t is used as beams and rafters and 1t
is made into ladders for the watch towers
These towers are of mud brick, but there
is more or less palm wood in them, and the
platforms, on which the spies sit at time
of date harvest to guard the crop against
thieves are of the same material
I was much interested IN the palm trees.
They look ragged and rough. On the taller
trees there no leaves except at the top,
and 1 am told that each ring of bark repre-
sents a years growth. If this Is true m my

No ragged edge of the lint must show or
the moisture will evaporate. Cover with
cotton wool and apply a gauge ban iage to
keep the whole In place.
The dressing may be removed in twenty
four hours and the wound will be found
clean. This treatment also removes pain
and the only after treatment necessary is
to cover with piece OF dry. clean lint. A
little boracic ointment on the lint will pre-
vent it from sticking.

Europe's greatest battle against the game
Of chance with all it's suicides and miseries
is storming the citadel of Monte Carlo.
Diplomatic suggestions carefully confided
to the discreet have for the purpose the
development of European movement by
which the famous Casino can be put out
of business.
Every government In Europe has mo-
tive for wishing that this could be accom-
plished The treachery of officers who sell
military plans can usually be traced to a
need of money to recoup losses at the ia
nous tables of NJ. Blanc's establishment
Many a country is now writhing under
needlessly heavy taxation to replenish
royal Golfers emptied by some prcfigate
scion of nobility while trying to break the
famous bank.
Worthy men by thousands can trace their
ruin to the beautiful Casino, and more sui
cides by the score than ever known to the
world occur within the superb grounds.
In one year the officials of the company
which leases the Casino from NJ. Blanc
cleared no less than s7,O0O,0O0. This gives
an idea Of the extent of the play, and also
shows how futile in the long run are the
hopes Of those who go there imbued with
the foolish idea Of breaking the bank"
In fact, the directors welcome the man
with system who thinks he can clean
up a fortune in a few days or hours. lIr
the end he usually loses far more than the
rich American, for example, who merely
drops in with the idea Of having little
sport, no matter whether he wins or loses.

why it will be a fight before the business
is finally suppressed. But the aggressive
prosecutor of the metropolis, profit!ng by
his experience in the Garfield gambling,
has had laws passed which enable him to
bring stringent punishment, not only on
proprietors, but those who play as well.
and 1t can be set down for a fact that pool
selling ON large scale Is doomed in New
York

The experiences on the grand circuit last
fall when betting was completely stop
ped in many cities to make the trotting
races scarcely worth conducting is an
other evidence of the direction in which the
tide is turning.
Even poker, the great American national
gambling game, seems tottering TO its de-
struction. Many states are legislating It
out of existence, and none more sternly
than some of those in the west, where once
the game four.shed at it's best.
Only recently gambling OF any kind was
made a felony in the state of Texas. So
strict are their laws in the Lone Star state
that it is even a msdemeanor to play the
most harmless game of cards in public.
Nor can the tourist who is only passing
through the state on a railroad car, play

as the border line is passed and
the train is speeding over Texan soil the
conductor makes an announcement that

Perhaps the first national movement

lana lottery was suppressed, and the house
cleaning seems destined to continue till the
game of chance has been completely wiped

is easy and restful, and though his express
sion is alert it is not forced or apparently
momentary. A dull red curtain, which par
TALLY drawn back displays bit of sky, has
been effectively employed as a background
and gives the portrait decorative feeling
altogether agreeable In style 1t resembles
the old English portraits, but 1t is rcmni-

own merit.

spring is little late and the landscape
painters are lamenting the less of a Part
Of their most congenial season. Mr.. Max
Weyl vino is always one of the first to
leave his studio for outdoor work, has not
yet ventured beyond its confines With
abundant sketches to translate into more
elaborate and finished works, however. he
has not been idle, and number of interest
ing and characteristic paintings are to be
reckoned among the output Of the past few
weeks. One Of these gives a distant view
of the river and Virginia hills beyond a
broad stretch Of changeful marshand. The
sky is partly clouded. the light subdued,
and yet the color is strong and the brush
work virile and spirited. 1t is simple yet
pictorial; unaffected and full of genuine
charm.
