Casinos Fund for Ruined Gamblers.

The Casino company, which con-
trolls the notorious gambling resort at
Monte Carlo, has provided a fund to
send home gamblers who have lost
their all in the gambling-rooms The
granting Of the "viatique' is con-
stantly being carried on The broken
gambler who presents himself at a
small office in the central saloon of
the Casino is, if he is found to be
a. bonafide loser. handed the price
of a second-class railway ticket to
his home, whether his home be in
London, New York Or Jerusalem,
and enough extra money for meals
on the journey. An Englishman is
usually given from forty to sixty dol
lars. Each broken gambler, who re-
ceives the ''viatique, signs a receipt
for the money handed to him, sur
renders his card of admission to the
Casino, and is told that he will not
be allowed again to enter the gam
bling-rooms until he has paid back
the loan. Every year the company
assists losers in this way to the ex-
tent of nearly forty thousand do
lars.

Men and women who absolutely ruin
themselves at the Casino are al

their lives. The pensions vary from
five francs to forty francs a day,
according to the amounts lost at the
tables. A Scotchman who lost about
one million dollars at roulette is
said to receive seven dollars day.
This gentleman resides today in 2
tiny villa at Nice. Every year the
Casino company pays. out some fif-
teen thousand dollars in pensions.

Keep Your Money at Home.

Over in the city of Meridian Miss,
appeared strong article on buying
at home, says the Assumption
Pioneer The article covers the same
points we have been trying to make
and we herewith reproduce part
of it:
1T ought not be necessary in this
intelligent age to have to call any
ones attention to the wisdom and
logic of spending money at home.
Yet the fact that some people in
every city continue to make a prac-
tice of sending out of town for a
great many things which they could
just as well buy at home, makes a
discussion of the subject pertinent
on almost any day during the year.
Every dollar you send out of town
takes just that much money out of the
city, and you have no opportunity
of getting any of it back again,
Every dollar you spend here, stays
here, and while it is here you do
have the opportunity of getting it
back again.
"The common sense, the logic, the
home pride, the public spirit, the
patriotism of keeping your money at
home ought to be apparent without
argument.
Trading at home is one Of the
things that will boom, boost and
build town more than any other
one particular thing"

Passed the Bottle Too Quickly.

Will Low, the painter, told this sto-
~ of the Latin quarter days Of Robert
Louis Stevenson. Low and Stevenson
were great friends in their youth
Their friendship indeed continued up
to the time of the writer's death.
'tLouis," said the artist, "was no less
diplomatic than brave. He could be
fiery, and he could also be gracious
and pacific. One night, remember,
we sat in a garden in Montmarfe.
The red wine had been flowing pretty
freely, and one member Of our party
got heated and aggressive. Finally
some one said q thing that this fight
ing chap disliked. AS soon as the
words were spoken he grabbed up a
bottle and hurled it at the others
head. It was 4 strong, true shot and
would have hit the mark had not Ste

The following clever way Of keeping
crows away from grainfeld is used
BY the farmer of Holland: He makes
some small caps Of stout paper and
smears around the inner side of the
mouth Of each some birdlirne or other
sticky stuff. In these he puts some
grains of corn and stands them about
his fields by pressing their points into
soft earth. When the crow finds one
Of these paper caps he thinks himself
in great luck until he attempts to peck
at the tempting grain. when. to his
astonishment. he finds the cap attach
ed to his head-a regular fools cap
which will not even allow him to see
what course to take if be flies up.
However, he succeeds in reaching
some coarse grass or bushes and after
much bewildered scrambling and flop
ping about, gets his head out OF this
undesirable cap and ever afterWard
avoids the field where there are more
