Strange Method of Catching the AMI

In tropical countries the natives
have MANY unique ways of catching
monkeys. One OF item. as explained
by IL traveller. is this: The hunters

the monkeys Then they take the
boots off. place some gum in the bot

Legend of Wandering Jews Annual
Visit to Monte Carlo.

All gamblers are SuperStitiouS. and
some of their pet superStitions are now
so old as 10 have acquired the respect
ability OF. venerable traditions. The
croupiers of Monte Carlo have an in
tereSting set of traditional superSti-
tons OF their own, most of which are
entirely unknown to the many thou
sands of visitors who toy With the
tiger in that silded court of chance.
The most striking of these is the
story of the Wandering Jew. which
the croupiers believe as fervcntly as
they do that the bank will down any
system" that ever was invented.
There is one day. and one day only,
in the wear on which the rooms of the
casino ut Monte Carlo are closed. That
is on Good Friday. When the rooms
are opened ON the following day. they
say, the first person to enter the
Grande Nouvelle Sale de Jeux is an
| old man of venerable appearance. He
wastes no time. but. walking straight
| to one of the tables, he places With
| the trembling fingers of extreme old
! age Il piece of money upon certain
number. The wheel is turned, and the
croupier's nasal cry falls upon the ear
announcing that the number selected
| by the old man has won. With 4 bit
terly savage exclamation the aged man
seizes his winnings, throws them about
him and hurries from the room to dis
! appear no one knows where.
He is the Wandering Jew, and until
he can lose a bet at Monte Carlo he
must continue his wanderings, vet on
the "bind side of any Of the old
croupcrs of Monte Carlo they will
tell YOU this legend. Have they seen
him? OF course they have and are
fully persuaded that the aged and
mysterious stranger is none other than
the man condemned to perpetual earth
ly wanderings nearly 1000 years ago.
1t is Interesting to note that as late
as 1880 there appeared in England u

WISCONSIN is WILSON'S
Taft Beats Roosevelt-Berger,
Socialist, Defeated.
In Telekraph to Id Trlbune

Milwaukee. Nov. 6.-Wisconsin appears
to have gone Democratic as the result
of La Toilette non-support Of the Taft
ticket and the detection Of other Repub-
liCans to Roosevelt La Toilette had de-
clared that he would vote for none of the
three Presidential candidates. and many
Of his followers followed his leadership.
while many other Republicans followed
Governor McGovern, candidate for re-
election, in support Of the Bull Moose
ticket.
The result is a Wilson plurality OF
probably 1900 Karel, Democratic can
ddate for Governor, is a winner by
roughly 5000. The representation in
Congress probably is unchanged, eX-
cept that Berger, Socialist, is defeated
by w. II. Stafford, former Republican
Representative, who ran on fusion
ticket under the Democratic title. He
was supported by a combination OF Re-
publicans and Democrats anxious TO take
Berger, the lone Socialist. out Of Con-
gress.
Milwaukee County's population Of So
ciaism was practically complete. The
fusion ticket composed OF three Repub-
Leans and three Democrats for county
Offices and two Republican Representa-
tives. all running on the Democratic
ticket, appears TO have driven every So
cialist officeholder in the county out of
Office. with the possible exception Of w.
c. Zebel. present District Attorney.
Milwaukee County was carried for Will
son over Taft by close to 10000, and re-
turns from upstate showed that he was
running even with Taft in strong Re-
publican districts.
Roosevelt was running behind Taft, ex-
cept in Winnebago County, which the
Progressive candidate carried by a small
margin over Wilson.
Representatives J. ]. Esch, 7th District
and 1. l. Lenroot, 18th District, were re-
elected,
