THE RED BERRIES.
"I cannot understand it," said the
first Red Berry.
"Xeitber can I, said the second
Red Berry.
"I am sure I am very much puzzled,"
said the third Red Berry.
"What are you all puzzled about.
Red Berries?" asked Peter Gnome.
"We're puzzled over something
which has been said a number of
times," said the first Red Berry."
"We've heard It again and again,"
said the second Red Berry.
"And we heard it just now," said the
third Red Berry. "I don't know how
many times we've heard it altogether."
"But what is it you have heard so
many times?" asked Peter Gnome.
"Do you suppose you could explain
it to U3?" asked the first Red Berry.
"Oh do you suppose you could?"
asked the second Ited Berry.
"We would be so glad to know the
meaning of it, if it has any'meaning,'
said the third Red Beriy.
"Well, perhaps if you tell me what
it is that is puzzling you so much I
may be able to explain it to you," said
Peter Gnome. "I can't explain it to
you without knowing what it is, you
see." -
"No, of course you can't do that,"
said the first Red Berry.
"It is true," said the second Red
Berry, "that you couldn't even try to
explain it to us if you didn't know
what it was."
"That is absolutely so," agreed the
third Red Berry.
Now these three Red Berries were
on a bush which was covered with
red berries.
"Do tell me," said Peter Gnome,
"and then if I can explain it to you
I will. And if I can't I will tell you
"Perhaps, if You Tell."
that I can't. I won't pretend to know
anything I don't know.
"I wouldn't do thut for anything."
"I'm quite sure you wouldn't," said
the first lied Berry.
"I'm positive you wouldn't," said
the second Red Kerry.
"I'm absolutely certain you wouldn't,"
said tlif tldrd Red Berry.
"Do tell me," said Peter Gnome.
".Shall I tell hiiTi?" asked the first
Red Iierry.
"You tell him," paid the second Red
Berry.
"Yes;, you tell him," said the third
Rt'd Berry.
"I'm ready to hear," said Peter
Gnome.
"Well." said the first Red Berry,
"airain and aain we've heard this
same speech or saying. Only today
we .heard it."
"Only today," agreed the second Red
Berry.
"Only today," said the third Red
Berry.
"Some one was passing," continued
the first Red Berry, "and this person
was speaking to another person. I
forgot to say that two people were
passing, but only one of them was
talking you see.
"Well, the person who was talking
spoke of her little girl and of how
niucii the vacation had helped her.
" 'She was really tired out,' said
the person, 'but now she looks so well
and feels so well and eats so well.
And she looks just as brown as a
berry. Y'es, she Is tanned and healthy
looking.
'"Just as brown as a berry she
looks now.'
"What we cannot understand," said
the first Red Berry, "is how a person
can say that when berries arau't all
brown by any manner of means. If
she had only turned and looked at us
she would have seen that we were
quite, quite red."
"She would most certainly have seen
that," said the second Red Berry.
"She most certainly would have seen
that," repeated the third Red Berry.
"It's just a saying," said Peter
Gnome, "and I'm sure I don't know
why people use that saying or ex
pression so much. But one thing.
Berries, of which you may be thank
ful, when they say any one looks as
brown as a berry It means that that
person looks very well and healthy,
so It is a compliment If a strange one."

London. There is one infallible way
of winning money at Alonte carlo,
writes a correspondent of the Loudon
Times, and that Is this: When a fat
man Is spinning the wheel bet on the
high numbers; when it is a thin man
bet on the low. It stands to reasqn
does it not? that a small man can
not throw big numbers. Another good
plan is to put your stake in front of
you, snut your eyes anu pusu il uui nx
the table with a rake. The god of
chance, being blind, naturally likes
blind people. Which also stands to rea
son, does it not? There you have the
whole philosophy of roulette.
Of course there are people who tell
you that you have no right to begin to
gamble until, at least, you know the
order of the numbers, both on the
wheel and the table, by heart. Other
wise, how can you tell the voisins
the neighboring numbers to the last
throw but one, so that you can know
where the ball is coming back to?
Also you can buy elaborate anrt in
fallible systems, which makes no men
tion of fat men or thin men, at fifty
shops in Monte Carlo. For fty
francs you can buy a system which
tells you how, on a capital of 20, you
can make "tntaiuoiy iiu u uuj.
There is another, much sold, which
offers you 1,000 chances to win against

Casino Always Wins.
Others guarantee well, nearly g&ir-
antee a winning of from 500 to 1,000
francs a day, and there are any quan
tity of systems under which "losses"
are "impossible." Yet, In spite of it
all the Casino is one of the most suc
cessful business institutions in Europe,
and will doubtless weather even the
difficulties of the exchange and the
rise in the cost of living.
Three days ago there a man won. at
one of the tables, 37,000 francs at a
single coup. The rules, it should be
explained, forbid a larger stake than
will produce more than 0,000 francs
at a single bet. But, having staked
the limit on an individual number.
you can also lay Detsi eacn 10 me
limit on the various combinations of
that number as well as on the "color,"
the high or low, odd or even, the
"dozen" whether the first, second or
third of thirty-six numbers and o
forth.
I am told, but I have not calculated
it, that it is thus possible to win over
S0.000 francs on a single turn of the
wheel. But 37,000 is good enough and
the friend who had seen it aud told me
added : "And that loss of 37,000 will
be worth 370,000 to the house." lie'
probably underestimated it,
As It was three days ago, the man
who won the money has probably lost
it again by now and in any case the
fame of It has gone far abroad and
brought any number of new gamblers
to the table. It is by such advertise
ments that the Casino thrives.
They Keep at IL
Almost every year new books telling
you how to win at .Monte Carlo are
published. Every yer series of charm
ing articles are written for one journal
or another analyzing various "sys
tems." One presumes that the writers
receive no payment from the Casino
for their labor. But how handsomely
It could afford to pay them ! There Is
surely no money making institution
in the world which gets so much and
such admirable free advertisement as
the Societe des Bains de Mer (as the
proprietary organization Is called) of
Monte Carlo.
The one cardinal and dominant fact
is that there is always one extra

clrance In 37 against the bettor. The
odds are 19 to 18 In favor of the house.
With absolutely even luck. In every 37
bets you will lose one more than you
will win. The odds are all calculated
on the basis of the thirty-six numbers
on the table, and the thirty-seventh
number (zero) Is the perquisite of the
establishment. With this qualification
the game Ms absolutely fair.
Few sane men. I think, suspect the
Casino of cheating. It does not need
to. That thirty-seventh chance which
is no chance, but a certainty Is suf
ficient. It operates Inevitably; as re
morselessly as "the blind Fury with
the abhorred shears" does at the end
of the life of each of us.
The tables In the various salles In
the Casino and the SrJorting club do
not all run for the same hours. Also
some of them are for. trente et quar
ante and not for roulette. But I be
lieve It Is fair to say that the result
Is about equivalent to twenty-one
tables at roulette running for ten
hours a day. At all events the rough
calculation will suffice.
How It Figures Out.
Now, the time taken by each turn of
the wheel, with the necessary settle
ments. Is about three minutes; or It
has been when I have timed It In these
last days. That Is to say that on one
or other of the 21 tables seven coups
are being cleaned up every minute.
The house win's ne bet In every 37 ;
and It Is, again, not unfair to reckon
that same number 37 as the aver
age number of bets on every table,
taking the two ends together. There
may be only 10 or 200. But 37 is not
an unjust average. Therefore, If
seven tables clear up each minute. In
each minute the house is seven bets
to the good.
The average unit staked is Impossi
ble t guess. The bets range all the
way from the humble 5f. white counter
to (rarely) the permitted limit of six
plaques of l.OOOf. each. But whatever
the average unit is, the Casino wins
it seven times over every minute, or
420 times every hour, or 4,200 times
each day.
So far as the individual is con
cerned .that 37th chance the pesky
zero may not operate to his disadvan
tage In a long sitting, and if luck is
with him he will win. Or it may
operate so actively as to ruin him in
half an hour. But regarding the pub
lic as a single bettor, that bettor Is
roughly losing regularly to the tables
4,200 units (subject to more accurate
calculation) every day in the year.
It has to be so. The Casino, with

Lawrence. Kan. One of the two

was found In the chalk beds of west

at the University of Kansas museum
according to Curator IL T. Martin,
who found the specimen.
The other is- at the Yale university
museum. The Kansas fossil Is of the
cretaceous period, about twenty-five
million years ago and Includes ten
teeth.
It is the most complete specimen
that has been preserved. The bird
was of the Ilesperornis family, was
five feet long, had a short vertebrae
tail and possessed no wings. It was
a marine bird.
The specimen is more valuable than
