CAN'T LICENSE POOL ROOM Business Is in Violation of Anti-Gambling Law. State DECISION, BY JUDGE CLEMENTS. Sustains Demurrer of Defendants in the Club Pool Room Case, Holding that Civil Action Cannot be Main tained to Enforce Payment. The making of books the acceptance of tvagçs and the selling of pools on horse races must be classed among gaming devices such as roulette, faro and other gambling games, and are therefore under the ban according to ! I I the anti-gambling law oi the state of j Montana. I This being so,licenses attempting ! to permit poolrooms to operate in this state are void. This is the decision of Judge J. M. Clements, of department two of the Lewis and Clarke county district court, as expressed in his opinion on the demurrer in the case of the city of Helena against Louis Johnson, Samuel Wallin, H. I. Wilson and J. J. Kelley. The opinion was handed down yesterday. Some weeks ago the city bought a civil suit against the parties named for the purpose of collecting $1,070, claimed as back license for the privi lege of conducting the Club poolroom in this city. The defendants, through their counsel. Albert J. Galen, en tered a general demurrer to the com plaint. Argument was heard by the court last week, Mr. Galen and City Attorney Edward Horsky arguing for and against the demurrer, respective ly. In his opinion Judge Clements sustains the demurrer and dismisses the complaint. Under this decision should it be upheld by the supreme court, no poolroom can be operated except in violation of the state's law against gambling. Judge Clements' opinion follows: "The defendants interpose a gen eral demurrer to the complaint herein. "The complaint alleges that the de fendant on certain days, did make books, propose and accept wagers upon and sell pools on race horses, without having obtained a license therefor from -the city as provided by ordinance. "The keeping of books, accepting wagers and selling pools upon horse races cannot be viewed in any other light than that it is a gaming device, as much so as the keeping of a gam ing table where a wager is risked upon any other sort of device or un certain event. "Contracts having for their con sideration the carrying on of an un lawful business are void as against public policy, and courts will not en force them. For the same reason a civil suit cannot be maintained to en force the payment of a license fee, provided by ordinance, for carrying on an unlawful business. "The authorities hold that a civil ac tion cannot be maintained to enforce the payment of arears of license in the absence of a statute or ordinance providing such remedy. The allega tions of the complaint nowhere dis closes the existence of such an ordi nance. "For these reasons the demurrer is sustained and the complaint dis missed."—Helena Independent. ! NO BOERS FOR MONTANA. Mr. Wormser Does Not Expect to In terest Them In This State. A. Wormser of Wormser City, Sweet Grass county, who is in Hel ena, said today that he did not be lieve any settlers from among the Boers would locate in Montana. Mr. Wormser has been instrumental in locating several colonies of Holland ers in Montana, and more than a year ago he undertook to interest some of the fugitive Boers in Holland in the great northwestern section of the United States. At various times it was reported that he expected to se cure a number of Boer farmers for Montana, but he has given up all idea of locating any of them here. "There are still many Boers in Hol land, where they fled after being driven from their homes in the Transvaal.," said Mr. Wormser, "but I do not now expect to interest any of them in this state. In my opinion the war in South Africa is nearly over, and when peace is finally de I dared, I believe these Boers will re j urn their homes and again take I up their work. I undertook to inter ! est some of the leading Boers in Hol en a en ac in dis is dis land in a colonization plan by which some of the vacant lands in this state might be used by them, but the plan did not succeed. "There are three classes of Boers but only one of them would make de sirable settlers for this state. One class includes the office holders, gov ernment employes and men formerly employed on the railroads of the Transvaal; another class includes the old time Boer families, which, until the war broke out, moved about from place to place with their herds and other belongings, while the third in eluded the younger generation of land owners, men who had gone to the Trasvaal from Holland, or whose fathers had preceded them, and se cured landed holdings, which they cultivated. It was this latter class that made the desirable settlers, and although many returned to Holland, where I myself was born and raised, I could not get them out here. These people will, I believe, return to their old homes soon. From the dispatches in your own and other papers, it seems that peace is not far off, and with it the Boers will undoubtedly return to their devastated country to begin life all over again."—Helena Herald. a ou The old reliable Oregon Nurser" company of Salem, Oregon, has com pleted a delivery of the largest ship ment of fruit trees shipped Into this valley this spring.

It is one of the peculiarities of the Chinese that, while they have develop ed elaborate philosophers, none of them has led to any confidence in the uni formity of nature. Neither the people nor their rulers have any fixed opinion as to the cause of rainfall. The plan in some provinces when the need of rain is felt is to borrow a god from a neigh boring district and petition him for the desired result. If his answer is satis factory, he is returned to his home with every mark of honor; otherwise he may be put out in the sun as a hint to Avake up and do his duty. A bunch of willow is usually thrust into his hand, as AVillow is sensitive to mois ture. Another plan in extensive use is the building of special temples in which are wells containing several iron ta bles. When there is a scarcity of rain, a messenger starts out with a tablet marked Avitli the date of the journey and the name of the district making the petition. Arriving at another city, he pays a sum of money and is allowed to draw another tablet from the well, throwing in Ills own by way of ex change. On the return journey lie is supposed to eat only bran and travel at top speed day and night. Sometimes be passes through districts as greatly in need of rain as bis own. Then the peo ple in these places Avaylay him and, temporarily borrowing his tablet, get the rain intended for another place. Prayers are usually made in the fifth and sixth months, when the rainfall is always due, and a limit of ten days is set for their effective operation. Under such conditions rain usually falls dur ing the prescribed time. When the prayers are in progress, the umbrella, among other objects, comes under the ban. In some provinces foreigners have been mobbed for carrying this harm less article at that time.—New York Commercial Advertiser. A THIEF AMONG THE ANGELS SpnrReon Correctetl His Opinion of What He Might Do. One day the mayor of Cambridge, who had tried to curb Mr. Spurgeon's tendencies to sensationalism, inquired of him if he had really told his congre gation that If a thief got into heaven he Avould begin picking the angels' pockets. "Yes, sir," the young preacher re plied, "I told them that if it were pos sible for an ungodly man to go to heaven Avithout having his nature changed he would be none the better for being there, and then, by way of illustration, I said that were a thief to get in among the glorified he would remain a thief still, and he would go around the place picking the angels' pockets." "But, my dear young friend," asked the mayor seriously, "don't you know that the angels haven't any pockets?" "No, sir," replied young Spurgeon, with equal gravity, "I did not know that, but I am glad to be assured of the fact from a gentleman who does know. I will take care to put it all right the first opportunity I get." The next Monday morning Spurgeon walked into the mayor's place of busi ness and said to him cheerfully, "I set that matter right yesterday, sir." "What matter?" he inquired. "Why, about the angels' pockets." "What did you say?" "Oh, sir, I just told the people I was sorry to say that I had made a mis take the last time I preached to them, but that I had met a gentleman, the mayor of Cambridge, who had assured me that the angels had no pockets, so I must correct what I had said, as I did not want anybody to go away with a false notion about heaven. I would therefore say that if a thief got among the angels without having his nature changed he would try to steal the feathers out of their wings!"—Homi letic RevieAV.
