HONEST IN THEIR GAMBLING
Writer Asserts That Chinese Have
Best of Regulations as Devotees
of Chance.

There exists in the United States
class of gamblers of which little Is
known, who are never muck-raked
and seldom arrested; and as straight
and as game" gamblers as the old
school of the fraternity in America
ever was. / refer to the Chinese.
writes Hugh S. Fullerton. in the Amer
lean Magazine. American gamblers
who have dealt for or played against
the Chinese will testify that they are
blood brothers of the game. Almost
every Chinaman is a gambler in the
true sense of the term, and gambling
fits his philosophy better than it does
ours. Besides, they are honest-Bret
Harte to the contrary-and in the

l remember once when Chun, e.--
cook, ran of from the ranch one pay
day and was detailed to go into Sill
yer City and drag him home by the
queue or else assume the duties of cook
myself. Chun was getting So month
and he had three months pay when
he set out on foot for Silver. / found
him with more than 81, 400 in checks
in front of him. One cannot win an
argument from Chinaman with $1,-
400. l had to wait two days before
he was broke, happy, and ready TO go
back for three more months.

the house clean. have seen a laun-
dryman in Fresno bet $1,000 on the
turn of card and lose without NOV
ing an eyelash. They play poker won
derfully well and Internationally. There
may be cheats among them, but the
| gamblers who deal for them testify
that they are about the most honor
able of gamblers.
Cinnamon are big gamblers every
where. In California, according to fig-
ures compiled by the labor commits
sion few years ago it was estimated
that more than half of the total earn
iDgs of all the Chinese in the state
pass through the hands of gamblers.
The police do not interfere much with
Chinese gambling, chiefly because they
are hopelessly baked in striving to
match wits with the oriental.

Week, and Instructions Given

Does anyone know that curious old
thoroughfare, st. Johns street, Clerk
enwell? Curious because, in the very
heart of industrial London, it pre-
serves a distinctly old world and
"Dickensy" atmosphere of Quietude
and LONELINESS, says the London
Globe. Save for thr passage of an oc-
casional tram, bound for Smithfield
Market or for Waltham Cross, there
is little more traffic in the afternoon,
anyhow, than would be found in the
side streets of sedate and remote
county town.
Here, every Thursday, remarkably
interesting domestic function is held
at No. 26S, one of the municipal
weighing centers" maintained by the
Borough of Finsbury, where poor
mothers bring their babies to be
weighed and inspected by the chief
woman sanitary inspector and the two
health visitors of the district, who, If
the child is not fiourishing as it should
do, give expert advice and aid to the
mothers.
Quite pleasant gatherings are these
municipal mothers meetings" for
relations are most cordial between the
officials and their charges. Imagine
some fifty young mothers, with as
many babies, chatting cheerily with
the inspector and with each other,
comparing notes-and infants = as
they wait their turn. to go to the
weighing table.
Fine, and pretty babies most OF
them are, thanks to the care and at
tention their mothers bestow on them
under the expert guidance of the off

are found to have been brought there
for the first time.
