Here the most abnormal desire for swift
movement may be satisfied.

drical canary home, with the exception
that both ends are closed by parchment

There is brief tattoo. The worries come
to halt, and there you are. II you have
guessed the pair or pairs or threes or fours
that the dice show, you win. It's precisely
like dealing man a poker hand and bet
ting on what you dealt him. But action?
At the roulette tables you are informed,
II you become excited, that s25 is the great
est amount you may play on single
number. but that If you love this number
enough you may play $50 on each corner
of the square inclosng that number and
$25 on each side of the square. Further
more, you may play no more than $1,000
at a time on the colors. on the odd and
on the even. Five hundred dollars is the
maximum single bet on columns and
dozens.
There was a dice game in an adjoining
room. Under the rules one may shoot no
more than 1000 at a time, but rules were
made to be circumvented.
II was still too early to embark upon that
sea of riotousness that the American on the
train spoke of, SO Fausto led on to From

1t is played, by professionals, almost in

one of the few Cubans to have played it

of the enthusiasm of the man from the

We trust Fausto. He's an old friend and
we've done bit OF exploring together. So,
after witnessing six races and losing $4
apiece at the truly beautiful Cuba-Ameri-
can Jockey Club track in Marianao, we had
dinner at the Hotel Almendares. All this,
like the Casino, is whole heartedly Ameri-
can. Americans own and operate the track
the Almendares and the Casino. The food
you eat is American. The prices you pay
are ultra-New~York.
This Is not Havana, nor even Marianao
The puniest Imagination can eliminate the
tropical vegetation and place the whole
scene on Long Island-the Casino, the AL
mendares, the racetrack and even the resi-
dences. Such might be America, you think
we're we slightly less jealous OF one an
others morals.
Wherever folks gamble with money some
body is bound TO lose. There seems to be
no way out Of II. Therefore, we decided to
take our first step into Night Life In Cuba

II should be explained, II seems, that pub

Analysis of the Crowd
About the Hazard Table

over in one corner before the neat haz-
ard cones sat the brother of celebrated
British soldier. Beside him sat coldly
magnificent woman. On her right squatted
sharp featured youth who seemed to be
trying to hide behind a small wall of sill
yer dollars. The Englishman was playing
a system. He'd bet, take notes thereof, and
whether he lost or won he kept at It stol-
idly and methodically.
The woman displayed as little emotion
as her British neighbor, but seemed to
play witb1ess discipline. She appeared to
be wiD1ing more frequently. The sharp
featured youth was playing in rare luck.
His was not the stoical nature the nov
elists and playwrights bestow up on their
gamblers. The game had cost him his
finger nails among other things, but to-
night he was winning.
Here In America we are inclined to be-
stow all speed medals and diplomas upon
the justly celebrated game of dice. The

Sloppy Joe's'
In its way the cafe conducted by Jose
Abeal Otero-Sloppy Joe-is the Cafe de
la Paix of Havana. More or less accurately
they tell you that if you stop long enough
at the Cafe de la Paix corner you will meet
everybody in Europe worth meeting. But
. it is entirely correct to say that if you loaf
around Joe's for two hours you'll meet
every American in Havana.
Joe has cleaned up the place There are
stools instead of soap boxes and liquor
cases to sit on now. The place is some
what bigger, too year or so ago the
throng of 200 or so that descended upon
Joe's at nightfall and remained until
carried or crowded out was wont to wedge
itself into a space that would have been
jammed by fifty.
Now there is room for at least hundred.
Accordingly at least 800 get in. Nobody
can remember Joe wearing a collar. He
explains that he has never had time to put
one on. He used to be laborer on the
railroad. He is one of Havana's rich men
today, but he hasn't changed; he hasn't
even had his hair cut.
Look at that crowd. There are two
women in evening clothes. Their diamonds
are magnificent. They are squirrel by three
sleek men wearing dinner jackets and a
little too much jewelry. They are Amer

OTTO MEEK OF BAKER
MUST ANSWER CHARGE

Otto Meek of Baker was held to
answer in the district court in Ogden
on the statutory charge arising out
of the dying statement made by ELL
en- Bass, stenographer, who died No
vember 2 from the effects of n self
inflicted gunshot wound.
Following the preliminary hearing
before Judge d. r. Roberts in the
city court the order was made hold
ing Meek to answer in the higher
court and bail was fixed in the sum
of $4,000. The defendant was re-
leased or the $4,000 cash bond fled
when Meek was arrested following
the death CT the girl and the dying
statement made by her, in which she
said Meek was responsible fer her
condition which prompted her rash
act.
The preliminary hearing opened
last Monday and lasted three days,
during which time the courtroom was
crowded with men and women, who
followed every phase of the case
Throughout the proceedings Meek sat
between his attorneys toying with a
lead pencil and with downcast eyes.
He appeared unmoved and even the
testimony of DR.. Whalen describing
the condition of the girl did not seem
to arouse him.
Mrs. Sadie Bass and Miss Grace
Bass, mother and sister of the dead
girl, were witnesses at the prelim-
mary hearing and told of visits made
by Meek to the Bass home and of his
attentions to Helen.
Mrs. Bass said her daughter Helen
was 20 years of age and was unmar-
ried at the time of her death. She
said Meek was the only man from
whom she had received attentions
within several months. She testified
further that she had talked with
Helen about keeping company with
Meek and that her daughter said she
was preparing to marry him when
his present wife procured a divorce.
She added that she had repeatedly
tried to get her daughter TO sever
her relations with Meek but had CIV
en- up in despair.

FROID FARMER THRESHES
$4,000 BUSHELS OF WHEAT

Fairly good crops of grain have
been raised the last season in north
eastern Montana, and especially in
the east end of Roosevelt county, &C
cording to j. w. Schnitzler, banker at
Froid, who attended the Shrine meet
ing at Helena recently.
Mr.. Schnitzler went to Froid more
than IL years ago, and was owner Of
the original townsite of Froid. He
went there from North Dakota where
he had been engaged in newspaper
work, and besides establishing Froid's
first bank, which now is one of the
most substantial financial institutions
in the state, also established the Froid
Tribune which he sold six years ago
to A. R. Butler, the present publisher.
After his bank became well estab-
lished Mr.. Schnitzler established the
Froid Nursery, which now also is a
thriving venture, and later engaged in
farming as a pastime. His farming
ventures has increased to such an ex-
tent that this fall he threshed 10000
bushels of wheat. He said that while
there has been a shortage of cars
farmers "out his way" are getting
their crops eventually moved to east
ern market points.-Helena Record.
