Bookmkiers' Chances. Layers of odds at the race track are prone to circulate tales of their enor moUS losses upon certain races, but it is seldom that a loss on a run may be shOwn, for it has been figured by ex perts that a skillful layer makes a book showing a percentage of 25 in his favor, by which he is bound to retain at least one-fourth of his tak ings. Large losses happen occasion ally when an unexpected victory pays 40 or 50 to 1, but. as, a general thing,. unless the bookmaker deliber ately gambles with chance he "makes books" so that he will show a profit on each race. A skillful bookie can so manipulate the odds that at no point does he stand to lose on a race. and, like his brother of the gambling house, his profit lies in this percentage in his favor. Even where gambling games are run without recourse to fraud the odds in favor of the dealer are never less than 20 per cent. A Judicious Inquiry. A well known traveling man who vis its the drug trade says he has often heard druggists inquire of customers who asked for a cough medicine,wheth er it was wanted for a child or for an adult, and if for a child they almost in variably .recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The reason for this is that they know there is no danger from it and that it always cuues. There is not the least danger in giving it, and for coughs, colds and croup it is unsur passed.

Whist Is thought to be of English origin and a development of the game trump, or triumph, which was played In England In the time of Henry VIII. Whist was not mentioned by Shake speare or the writers of his day. Its earliest record Is in the poems of Tay lor, the- water poet (1621). It is spoken of in the second edition (1680) of Cot ton's "Complest Gamester" as "the game of whist, so called from the si lence fhat is to be observed in the play," but as whisk seems to have been its originaf name, according to some authorities, this derivation Is not as sured. The game was at first nine up. This was changed to ten up early In the eighteenth century, and in 1864 the experiment of dividing the game Into half, which was first tried as early as 1785, was generally adopted by the - clubs. The Electien. These conditions determine the trou -ble.
