is from Christmas Day until New
Years. His ban is absolute and con-
sternation Is in the hearts of wheel
spinners. The better class of aris-
ians hail the projects edict with JOY.
On Christmas eve ever since before
the oldest inhabitant can remember,
booths OF the knock-down or street
fair sort, has sprung up like magic
along the entire length of the great
central boulevards and avenues Of
Paris. There are thousands of them,
lining both sides of the streets. In
some candy Is sold in others cards
are printed while you wait; still 9TH
ers sell other things. principally me-
chanical toys and Christmas novel
ties for children. But almost every
other booth has its wheel and bark
ers keep up a perpetual yelp invit-
ing passersby to step up and win the
grand prize. For years these gam
bling devises have increased until
now during Christmas week the bou-
levards form a huge Monte Carlo
where. one bets two-cent piece. in
stead OF louis, and wins--if one
happens to be lucky-more or less
worthless prizes" instead of gold
The wheels are of every earthly va
riety but the principle is the same
Get the money and keep the prizes.
