A reporter for the Journal who had been
told that he could not buy lottery or
policy tickets In Kansas City had stnrted
down Main street to see Jint what he
could buy. Ho did find highwaymen's out
fits ns easy to buy as policy tickets. They
were conspicuously displayed In several
hop windows tmd adxertlsed for sale by
nttraeuxo looking placards. One pawn
hop window contained by actual count
fifteen metal knuckles, ten billies, four

and a rouse et nolr table. These were pub.
Holy displayed for sale despite a section of
the city ordinances which forbids tho pine
Ini; of any gnmbllnir device on exhibition.
At this place a reporter entered and asked
If any flrst'clas crap dice were for sale.
"cluos you must want to do some crap
frame," said the clerk, who tossed out sev
eral of the Ivory cubes upon a glass case,
"ou want 'horses,' don't you?"
"Horses!"
"Vess we've cot horse dice here that
can't be beat. They'll win out every time.
iou hold 'em out, ou know, and when you

to rlnc them In."
"Itlnc them?"
"Yes. Hold out the other dice and put In

razor, bills-, dirk or dirk knife or dagger,
cr any knife resembling a bowie knife or

When the reporter entered to ask the
Jirlco of metal knuckles he was glx-en quite
n lengthy disquisition on the manner of
tnelr use and the superiority of lead knucks
oxer flashy and ornamentnl brass ones.
"Brass knucks ain't any good," said tho
Healer. "They shlno too much and when
they are flashed a man 'gets on" right away
nnd he's on guard. If he's got a gun he's
likely to go nfter you. A Jury hasn't got
much pity for a man who uses metal
knucks. They are treacherous and deadly
ixeapons."

The monthly meeting of the school
principals was held yesterday morning"
In the rooms of tho board of education.
Almost all of tlio principals wore pres
ent. Each gavo a threo minute account
of tho work being done In his or her
school In language work. On the con
clusion of theso reports, Superintendent
Oreenxvood read an address he had pre
pared on the subject of language In the
schools, Tho point he laid the most
stress upon was the value of tho teach,
ers dictating passages from somo book
ond having the pupils write tho sen
tences dictated nnd correct them. lie
said that the plan teaches tho children
the relative weight of sentences, clauses
nnd paragraphs, leads them to readily
write and read the language, causes
them to coirect their own errors, and
thus trains their memoiics, Judgment
and observation, Tho practice makes
better spellers and wilteis of them, lie
said. The address was Hilled with strik
ing points. Mr, Green wood Intends to In
corporate the paper in Ills annual report
of next year, The reports and address
will have the effect of stimulating the
teaching of language in tho schools very
