up to the present day, and for all the sporting events of that long stretch of ] time he is still an authority, with a wonderful memory for dates and names. . In his gambling operations h e was con- nected with the best men of the time. He was a partner with Byrne anl Cockey when they were in their prime and contributed much to her success. 'In tie course of his long life Gam ble met and gained the friendship of many prominent men. Of all these friendships the veteran cherishes most that of John Morrissey. and he is never weary of talking of the noted prize fighter, gambler and congressman. After his famous meeting with Yan
 kee Sullivan at Boston Corners in 1858, Morrissey fled to Baltimore to escape the clutches of the law. Here he met Gamble who took care of him, fur nished him with money and finaliy sent
 him south The friendship then formed was kept up to the day of MorTisseys $ ] death.
 "Yes, Morrissey was prize fighter and a gambler said Gamble, recently. 1 but the man who won and kept the ! friendship of such men as Charles A. Dana. Salmon P. Chase and Roscoe Conking nnst have bad some pretty 1 solid qualities in lis make up.' "Others of the old guard that were prominent were William Cordry. Char lie Hipsley, Andrew McGee, D. c. Ben ! nett. ST.. Edward Pendleton. John :, Cor,misl,e e!-. Warren Dennett, ST. and l Isaiah IT. omDson.

he explains: "Her father has no hered-
itary domain to keep UP. no name to
live up to, no following (clientele) of
relatives or strangers to support Her
money Is all cash, and available at any

girl looks for in titled husband and

new fields of glory to win. but sense
of solidity that shall tie her down to

into values which she eeelS to be more

something more than a coronet and
precedence at a dinner crush; for this

their yell the warwhoop of the Indian

Quest for Culture.
Our French visitor follows up his own
explanation with one which he ascribes
to Mr.. Henry James, every one IN
France knows the name of Henry James
the brother of the philosopher" Ii is one
we see restated often enough. The Amer
lean male has done little but toll and the
American woman has done little but Gull
tivate and refine herself. Hence. men
and women in our society face each other
across a gulf SO broad. so deep that
nothing would seem capable of bridging
it, mot even love" Hence, American
women seek abroad that fine flower of
culture that encircling atmosphere OF
high thoughts and gracious sentiment
which il is not in our own men to sup
ply. Yet we may question the validity
of this common explanation by question
ing the truth of the formula on which
it is based. Is this assumed vast differ-
ence between the mental horizon OF men
and women in America really to be
found? The picture evoked is always OF
brilliant college woman-M. lie Roux
has her reading Greek fuently after she
has been NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. choice is re-
stricted to a husband from the shop. the
insurance office, or. at best, the brokers'
pit, who falls asleep at the opera. Yet
the figures should easily show that our
men still largely outnumber our women
in the colleges. and If alumna cannot find
husband Of her own intellectual range
ii is because she cares for other things
more than for culture. If. for one reason
or another, our college women do not
marry our college men, 1t is evident that
the latter, too, must choose their wives In
inferior cultural surroundings. Hence our
pity should go out quite much to our
tens of thousands of mismated college
professors, clergymen. lawyers and physi-
clans. as it does to the ARerican heiress
whose superculture calls for European
husband.

Farmers Wives.

We often find farmers who lose no
chance OF securing machinery for Sav-
ing labor on the farm, but who don't
think anything about the machines
that save labor in the house. That is
out OF their province and they don't
seem to care enough about the matter
to give it any attention whatever.
Such treatment is calculated SO dts.
courage the woman. It is the worst
kind Of selfShneSS. A woman'S work
on the farm is quite as hard as mans
il the man could only be made to real
ize it-but he won't in many cases.
He consults his own interests and lets
his wife manage the best way she
can, forgetful that her interests are
identical with bis own and should be
so considered by him. Tighten the
labors of the women all you can. Don't
think it will encourage idleneSs to in
troduce articles Of labor-saving ma
chinery in the kitchen. 1t Eever has
done SO, and it never will. Back Of
the machine is the woman and the
woman on the farm will always find
enough to do.
