Many a man who would be greatly indignant and insulted if he were told that he was gambling with what did not belong to him world have to admit the truth of the charge if he gave it a fev minutes thought. He would not think of talk ing money from the cash drawer of his employer. and vet he sometimes borrOWs money friend with which to gamble. he uses money which he owes to 7thers for the neces- sities of life to bet on horse races he Is using that which does not belong to him.

Title of "E Esquire"

Esquire dated back to the days when the Greeks and Romans were in the heydey of their existence. The armor bearers who served as attend ants of the knights by way of body guard were called esquires. Later, in England the king created esquires by placing collars about their necks and bestowing upon them pairs of silver spurs. The title has never lapsed in that country. There are now legally esquires by heritage, by creation, or by virtue of the holding of some of. fee.
 In this country the title has come into general use simply by courtesy. but 1t must be admitted that it is a very fiimsy excuse for its adoption, In England there is disposition to use 1t as applying to men not engaged in trade.
