Does the race track gambler realize how largely the percentage is in favor of the “iouse,” and how few are Bis chances in the lottery? There in the “big ring” are eighty bookmakers paying the Metropolitan Turf Association $75 a day for thelr privileges, and paying out for clerks, sheet writers, run- ners and for Incidental expenses $50 more, Eighty times $126—§10,000, the dally expenses of the regular book- maker, or $200,000 for the season of twenty days! The “dead line’ has sixty bookmakers with daily expenses of $60, equalling $72,000 for the season. In the “field” are 100 at $40 a day, with aggregate expenses @f $80,000 for the meeting. That {s, the enormous sum of $352,000 must be taken fm by the bookmakers before they can clear expenses. The public must be mulcted tn this amount before a on- may | Cowan, a Sol Lichtenste!n or an Eddie Burke can begin | his profits, which at the season’s end may reach half a “| gaillion, The task is not so difficult when it is remem- bered that George Rose, Tod Sloan's discoverer, once ‘@00k in $75,000 in a day. y THE PENALTY OF HATING. ‘A-rich New York lady of high social etanding quar- Felled with her son and as a crowning expression of hatred opened a “spite” lamndry next door to his fine residence at Southampton, L. I. All day long the steam of the suds rose in the air to offend the nostrils of the -\vlaltors to the handsome estate, and the enmity of mother ‘nd son increased. Then the mother fell {ll and the Jaundry was closed. Now the fashtonabdle lady is prostrated with nervons exhaustion. “Can you afford to hate?” asks the wily @iplomat of the Countess in “Diplomacy.” Hatred is an expensive luxury. It takes hold on the system like a disease. It weakens and unnerves and in its wake may -@ome paralysis or apoplexy. _ The passions are all dangerous when indulged, the emotions so only in less degree. Worry kills; the saying is trite. In ite less acute manifestations it may be found ‘to be the cause of that bad cold, the source of which seems remote. A fit of temper may upset the digestion for a day. Jealousy may cause physical collapse. In & nearby New Jersey suburb two neighbors, who “became estranged last year over a trifling difference, yhave continued their quarrel until one has made ths @ratifying discovery that the wall of the other's house encroaches two inches on his land, Whata find that was for the quarrelling discoverer! Down that wall must come or the law of the State will be appealed to. The Anjured neighbor will have bis rights. It 1s not a pretty quarrel as it stands. It 13 9 dis- agreeable commentary on the pettiness of the human mind. A man does not have to be a Pharisee to feel glad that he is not that enmious suburban resident demand- . {ng his inches of land.

It will be mainly a season of old favorites: Escamillo will again enter the ring to soul-inspiring strains that are never old, and Lohengrin steer down the stream once more behind the swan. The crop of Mascagnis and Leonca- Vallos has been short. But a season that brings “Par- _sifal” will need no other novelty. “Parsifal” seats will cost $10.

In his youth the Pres- ident had lived very near the Roctcwell studio, and while sitting for his picture he asked Mr. Rockwell if he remem- bered him. “Yes, indeed,” was the reply. “I re- member very distinctly every time you and band of confederates broke my skylight by throwing stones at it.’ “Good,” laughed the President. ‘TI remember it, too.

The proportion of female to male students is largest among students of literature. Less than 500 of thr whole 11,647 are foreigners. were around the THE AVERAGE AGE OF MEN.
