Don't be a piker. When you go

Pony Moore.
Pony Moore, probably the mosE
widely known Colored gambler and
politician in this section of the coun-
try, to-day gives out that bit of advice
as he strikes the bottom in the down
and out" chute.
From the heights of riches and in
fuenee he has dropped to the very
bottom Of poverty, and has had to
seek the protection Of the bankruptcy
court to prevent the bottom falling
out and dropping him into no one
knows where.
when you go down, go down for
the cunt" said Pony to-day. Don't
stagger around trying to stall and
rake believe you are still in the
game when the next minute you may
get another wallop. Go down bling,
and stay down until you get enough
back to come up strong. And above
ali, don't be a piker.

Scientific Legislation.

Wisconsin, which has led the other
states for several years in the move
ment for improved legislation, is about
to take another step forward along this
line, SO far reaching as to affect all leg
islation.
The plan is to provide for the draft
ing of all bills so that, if passed, they
will stand the test of constitutionality.
In arranging for this it will be neces-
sary to establish and maintain by an
nual appropriation, a legislative refer
ence library, where will be collected the
experience of every state in the union
and the experience of every nation on
the earth with legislation. A part of the
appropriation to be used to defray the
expense of having bills drafted for any
and all members of the legislature by
competent lawyers.
1t is just beginning to be understood
that lawmaking involves degree of in
terpretation, and this latest move is to
provide the necessary machinery for re-
ducing lawmaking to a science. This
plan has grown out of wearisome eX-
perience, through years of which hun
dreds of good intentions of legislatures
have been consigned to paving purpos-
es 10y the the supreme courts. This plan
purposes to apply to lawmaking the
spirit which now permeates the com
mercial and industrial world, the em-
ploying Of experts and the getting of
results that are demanded not any old
result, but the result that the lawmak-
ers wanted when the bills We're intro
duced and at a minimum of effort and
expense. 1t is cheaper TO pass good
bill the first time. even at the addition
al cost of employing competent drafts
man, than it is to call a special session
of the legislature to amend the poorly
drafted law or TO deprive the state of
the benefit of the law which the courts
have construed to mean something other
than the legislature intended

Confluence and Dollars.

"Sambo, have you got confidence
enough in me to lend me dollar?''
asked one colored brother of another.
PLENTY Of confidence but no dollar, y
was the reply.
There are thousands Of Sambos, those
who have plenty of confidence but no
dollar" and with every one of them
there is something radically wrong, for
dollars are as sure to follow the right
kind of confidence as day is to come
after night.
Among the numberless good things
said by st. Paul, nothing is more sig
nificant than the declaration that faith
is the substance of things hoped for,
that is, something practical and disable
from which things are evolved if prop
err conditions are complied with.
Know for certainty that nothing of
value is evolved for one, or added to
one, unless from the center of her being
by her aspirations, her resolves, her
understandings of and covenant with
her inmost self, her kingdom of heaven,
she evolves and draws it unto her. 1t is
disastrous to depend upon anyone or
anything outside oneself for happiness
and prosperity as it would be to depend
upon another to breathe for one. Ida
A. Churchill in the February Delineator.
