CHEATING IN GAMES.

T-% NGLISH COURT society is upset over a 1- charge that a member of the royal household has been caught cheating at poker This indicates much feeling against gambling crookedness. The craze of playing bridge for money has swe pt through English society un- til girl can not even get 6 job as a governess without knowing the game. Women seem to compromise their good name by borrowing money to pay gambling debts yet rarely is all accusation of cheating made.
 In this country, the man with the marked pack may earn his living. But he makes no social ties. Tn high society women are said to have loose ideals One result is that some men say they never play for money with women. As whole one would be slow to believe that American women play crooked
 In lawn tennis and golf a high standard of honor seems to prevail. A fellow who had once been caught could. positively count on blackballs at almost any country club.
 Yet many men are found who deliberately justify cheating in baseball. Many famous players in the big leagues have no hesitation in cutting straight from first to third base provid- ed the umpire is not looking. Half Of the bleach- CTS will rise and yell to applaud their clever ness, including many of the same men who would throw down friend who shuffled in 6 marked card at poker.

these two new States ought to be recognized on the flag, so in 1794 Congress passed an act mak- ing the flag 15 stars and Is stripes.
 This remained the flag of the United States throughout the war of 1872, until there were 20 States in the Union. Tn 1916, Con- gress decided to return to the original 13 stripes and one star for each State. Congress has never determined the arrangement of the stars nor the shape and proportions of the flag, and there has been great variation, especially in the grouping of stars
 The flag is to be respected and reverenced as the symbol of the nation, but flag worship must not be carried to such extent that na- tion service is forgotten. The nation is the men and women upon this soil, and the institu- tions they have reared for their own health and happiness. The nation is a great and glorious nation in the degree that it contributes to the greatest good of the greatest number. It is a4defeotiye nation in the degree that it per- mits injustice, and suffering among the people. Tn the whole it is perhaps true that there are. more happy people under the American flag than under any other.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
New York,s First Mayor.

The first mayor Of New York, Themas Willett, was inducted. into of flee PAS years ago to-day, June 13, 1865, and it is expected that the American metropolis will formally observe the 25Oth anniversary of this interesting event a year hence. Gov. Richard Nico11s, the first English ex- ecutive of the future Empire State, was resp ponsible for the appointment of WiIlett, who was a wealthy mer- chant and trader and had a town house in New York and a country es- tate in Rhode Islands where his body was buried vin- 1874. W4llett, who was a shrewd business man, governed New York honestly and well, and af- ter his first term of one year was made mayor again in 1867. The municipal government of which he was the head was composed of five all dermen, three Dutch and two Eng
 fish, and a sheriff, although police du- ties devoIved largely upon the may or, and he was police magistrate as we'll He had his troubles with ex- else matters, and his conduct of po- lice affairs was subjected to much criticism, a precedent being thus es- tablished which has been adhered to throughout the administrations of Mayor Wil1ett's ninety -four success ssors. On the whole, however, Willett was popular with the English. Dutch and Indians, and came nearer to giv- ing general satisfaction than any oth- CT mayor of New York.

derings of Oisin.'' This was follow ed by a prose work, Fairy and Folk Tales,'' dealing with Irish myths, fa- b1es and legends.
 In his Younger days the Irish bard affected bohemian sartorial effects, in- .cluding a ve1veteen jacket Windsor tie and tortoise-sheiI rimmed glasses, and wore his hair long Latterly he has adopted a more conventional style of garb, but he still clings to the flowing tie which has long been the mark of the poet and artist.
 The poet has lately devoted much attention to the drama, and he is a joint director with Lady Gregory of the Abbey Theatre and it's company of Irish Players, who are well known in America through their production of .-The Playboy of the Western World'' and other Irish dramas.
 ssThe outcome of the trip Of the Irish Players to this country two years ago was very goods said MT. Yeats in an interview published in the New York Times a few months ago. The Irish theatre, like the Irish politician, has to go to Irfsh- Amer ica for its seal of approvaI. Every body can say, Wait until you go to Irish-America then you'H hear the truth about yourselves. We'll, we have been there, and, in spite of cer- tain little occasional tributes from certain quarters in the shape of brfckbats and unkind words, we have susvived, and have even made many friends.
 ssThe arrest of our players in Pni1- adelphia did us an immense service in Dublin, because however, Jnpopu- lar the pIaywrights have been at times, the ployers have always been popular.'s
 In the opinion of the poet, ssrhe world will have to go through a. pe- fiod of violent realism, of dragging into the light what is hidden, before 1t can return to a literature of beau ty and peace.1 In speaking of a present dramatic tendency. the poet said: sfThe Greeks had no exagger- ated morbidity of sex. because they were free to express all. They were the most healthy Of all peoples. The
 man who is sex-mad is hateful to me-

William Butler Yeats, Irish Bard, Is Forty-Nine Years Old To-day.

Ireland's sweetest singer, William Butler Yeats, who recently made a. lecture tour of American and Cana dian cities, will begin his fftieth year to-day, having been born in Dub- lin on June Is, 1885. The Hiber- manager comes of a distinguished family. His father. John Butler Yeats, achieved renown as an illus trator and painter of portraits. His grandfather, the Rev. William Butler eats, was prominent Irish clergy man. His mother was the daugh- ter of a Sligo merchant and ship owner Of the other children of T. B. Yeats, Jack, Yeats became a DOT beth Yeats were prominent in the re-, cent revival of the ancient indus tries, applied arts, and language and literature of old Ireland.
 As a boy the future poet was de- votedly fond of natural history, and was given to carrying insects and small living animals around in his pockets. He was also very absent minded, and left his strange pets in most inopportune times. At the age of nine Yeats removed to London with his parents, but he usually spent his vacations in Ireland, and while still in his teens he returned to Dublin and began the study of art at the Royal Dublin Society He abandoned art for literature at twenty-one.
 While he had previously contribut- ed poems and articles to magazines and college. publications. MT. Yeats may be said to have entered on his real literary career a quarter of a century ago, with the publication Of his first volume of verse. The Wan

THE USELESS HOUSE.


 It is characteristic of the present house4of representatives that the mass of anti-trust legislation. the consider ation of which in the houqe has been. limited largely to vocal outbursts against one form of class privilege and almost unanimous voting in favor of another form. has been dumped upon the senate.
 The surrender of constitutional function by one branch of congress to the other branch or by both ihranches to the executive has ceased to astonish anybddy-

But when the senate does not usurp the functions of the representatives they all but go down on their knees and beseech the White House to do their Iegislating for them.-New York Press.

 illustrated in Barnun school, yester- day. Thirteenzcertificate were awarded for all around proficiency in department and studies. Boys obtained two of these hon6rs, and girls the other eleven. In the same school honorable mention was given for perfect spelling. Each child who went through the term without sim gle poor word was mentioned. Girls appeared seven times and boys twice in this competition.
 It should be borne in mind, however, that boys have much to do pIaying marbles, baseball, fishing and swimming while girls, except their studies, have nothing to do but help mother, take care of their own rooms do the dishes, make hats, and some other things of no great consequence.E
