1 lately. In his heyday he was the gaudiest gambler that ever hit the town. and that is said with full memory of Dick Garfield and Honest John Kelly and the rest of them. They ran games, and the business of running a game is as sure-fire a money-maker as that of running bank. Whereas Nick the Greek gambled. He would bet on anything if the odds suited him.
 His latest recorded exploit was to visit southern track and clean up S350,000 in ten days. Twenty days later he borrowed ten dollars of a friend. Tomorrow he may have mil lion dollars in cold cash. The little lady who runs an old bookshop on the Avenue has the lowest possible opinion of American book col lectors. She is English born and was bred to the trade of handling first edi- tions.
 Tn England people buy first editions to keep" she said. They like to have them in their libraries. The fact that a book is a first edition means nothing to them unless the book is worth while. The world is full of utterly worthless first editions
 Here, she says, we buy first editions as speculation. No matter what the book may be. Our commercial instinct suggests that sooner or later we may cash in.
 My friend the little cabaret dancer was at loose end the other night. It being between engagements, she was not compelled to remove most of her cloth ing an dtwirl in the subdued lights. A girl friend called on her;

 What said the dancer. Without an escort? Impossible "
 Which is a new line on the formali- ties of a cabaret dancer.

 OF GANG LEADER
Enemies Rub Shoulders At Services For Dion
 O'BanniOn
(By Associated Press.)

CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-Amid kingly pomp and splendor, Dion O'Bannion, ruthless leader of Chicago gangland, cunman, beer runner and hi-jacker was carried to the grave today by his asso- ciates.
 Gangland, hushed and decorous, with bitter enemies standing shoulder to shoulder, attended tine funeral of this queer anomaly of pistols and posies. shot down last Monday by three gun men AIS he stood among the roses and chryanthem of his flower shop behind whose responsibility his operations were cloaked.
 Denied the offices of the Catholic church, the friends of the notorious gangster surrounded the services with all pageantry and elaborate display that a lavish outpouring of money could buy to give grace to the funeral. It was one of the most pretentious spec tacles of its kind in Chicago's history.
 Detectives Watch Services The funeral services were held from a little undertaker's chapel while thou sands of persons, curious to see gang land pay its last respects to fallen leader, milled outside. Squads of sharp eyed detectives watched over the serv- ices and outside mounted policemen drove back and forth among the crowds. The services were brief. A hymn was followed by a funeral dirge by a muted stringed orchestra hidden behind +l, ,ol, ded drowsy heads above the S1O,OO0 silver casket, almost hidden among the flowers.
 Then came another hymn and poker faced gangsters, murmuiing polite apologies as they dreaded on each others toes, began filing slowly past the casket Many square-jawe flinty eyed friends of the gangleader brushed tears from their eyes as they passed

 Then while police handled the crowds of curious outside. the casket was lifted from it's bed of flowers and carried to motor hearse by eight assistants of OBannion, including Louis Alterie, his lieutenant, on whose shoulders his mantle of power is re ported to have descended.
 Twenty trucks were packed high with the floral offerings which included q gigantic piece of pink roses from O'Ban- widow and seven foot
