PARTY FEALTY.
' The advice tostick to party through
thick and thin In local matters, will
not always lie productive of the liest
results. Were party caucuses to ex
ercise proper care In selecting the
best qualified men for theolllces, men
Who would first consider the Intere t
of taxpayers and who would act with
an eye siilgle to advance educational
affairs, the matter would stand In a
different light. Township and
borough ofuelaln-?re the men who
primarily advunco or retard public
welfare. Careless, incapable men,
Incompetent to jxrform their duties,
or untrustworthy In their actions, are
a drawback to the advancement of a
community and it is a public wrong
to knowingly elect such mentoofllce.
Why complain of exorbitant tax,
of lmproerly worked roads, of poor
schools, if you go to the polls and for
the sake of being "regular" and
"straight" you vote men In .office
who are known to you to lie incom
petent? You cannot be disappointed,
you are simply aiding and abetting a
public swindle. In township affairs
which after all more directly affect a
community, exceeding care should 1
taken to nominate and elect only pro
per persons. If voters would scan
the tickets offered, anil, regardless
of the label vote their convictions as
to fitness and qualifications, both
parties would soon learn that to in
vite the confidence and the suffrages
of the people they must only nomin
ate their best men. By this method
totter men would be selected as cand
idates and Hie public interests better
subserved. The people rule, and if
party lash is sufficentlv stinging to
keep them in line for the ticket, it Is
only necessary for interested iudivid
uals to pack party caucuses to secure
their own selfish purposes. You may
be a democrat, or a republican, in
Htuto and National affairs, but you
should be controlled by common sense
when you' vote a local ticket for you
know the men for whom you are vot
ing, and you know whether they are
competent, and you also know that it
is simply a matter of dollarsand conls
and good local government, and not
at all a matter of )K)litics.
PORTERS LAKE PROPERTY.
It will be noted by the transfers of
real estate that this somewhat fam
ous Pike county resort has again
changed owners. The township was
erected Dec. 16 1SG1 from parts of
Delaware and Lehman and named
for James M. Porter, a prominent
Easton lawyer, who for many years
practised in our courts. In 1H49 he
purchased several tracts of land, the
one covering the jmd of II. Dewey,
and others of James Place, John T.
Cross and Allen Cuthbert, In all above
two thousand acres, and built a house
on the shore of what was then, called
Fifteen mile pond. The lake was
known originally as Teddyuskung
and now is commonly railed Porters
Tond. Mr. Porter attempted to sub
due the meadows on Saw creek by
cutting deep ditches through them
and by loweringthebed of thestream.
He temporarily succeeded, and it is
said that rye and timothy grew to an
enormous size on these partially re
claimed lands, but after bis death the
attempt at cultivation was abandoned
and the lands lapsed into original the
condition, that of boggy wastes cov
ered with a rank growth of wild
grass and buhes. The Saw creek
was aforetimea splendid trout stream.
There are stretches of swift running
water, and in the. meadows deep
pools where the flnh lie hidden be
neath the shadows of the dense over
hanging alders. The pond, or lake,
Is perhaps the largest in the county
and is a beautiful sheet of clear water
abounding with llsh. A spring near
the house bubbles with the purest
water, and for a quiet fish or for a
few days of rest and retirement there
Is no spot wiliiin our borders more
inviting than Porters pond.

A MANIA FOtt CHANCE
PRIMITIVE PEOPLE HAVE A LOVE
FOR GAMBLING.
Chinamen Havs a Paaaion for the
Practlc and So Hava Negroet, But
Indiana Seem to Revel In tha Varl
oua Gamea of Chance.
Gambling games of one kind or an
other form a not IneonHlderalile part of
the mental life of all savage people
who find In the vagaries of chance,
aided more or lesa by skill, the occa
sional pxhaltatlun of mind which all
men demand In one form or another.
Much has boon written about gnmes
of rlisnce, especial reference to tholr
origin, hut tills aspect of the case the
part which they piny In the life of to.
day has been generally overlooked.
Indians, negroes, Chinamen, have been
hastily classed ns Inveterate gambler,
and such Indeed from one point of
view, they are, says -the Chicago News.
Hat there Is something more than tlila
In the universal passion for play which
characterizes all the lower'races. with
out being by any menus confined to
thorn.
The negro, whose whole soul seems
absorbed In the formula, "Come wh
en," or "Come elelwn," lu his favorite
game of craps, Is yielding to the same
Impulse which causes the diinnmsn
to spend nil his earnings In the never
ending, but to Mm always fascinating
mysteries of "fan tin," and wincn
justifies the Mexican. In his own mind,
for the loss of many hours and a few,
If not innnv. dollars In the allurements
of monte on the sunny side of his
adobe shack. The fondness ot many
business men for a "quiet little game"
la an exhibition of the same desire for
mental excitement nnd channe, differ
ent, perhaps. In amount, but not In
kind, from that which holds a little
band of Indiana around a blanket
spread upon the ground for rtnya at
a time while the chances of the game
are making one man rich and the oth
ers poor.
from this po'id 0f view the gam
bling games of the Indians have a cer
tain value aside from the picturesque
ness which Is nenrly always an accom
paniment. All kinds of games are to be
found among them, native as well as
Imported, and while the Inttcr nre
gradually supplanting the former on
account of greater convenience, and
perhaps because of quicker action, the
strict aboriginal games are by no
means extinct. They can still be found
In full swing In many parts of the
United States which are a little re
mote from the usually travelled lines
and but little changed by contact with
our own civilization.
There Is little doubt that In their ori
gin many, If not all, of these games
were real religious ceremonies, de
signed to foretell the future, but they
also played the same part in ancient
times that they do to-uay in supplying
a mental stimulus. Some of the games
have come down practically unchanged
In form, although now played under
entirely different conditions from what
they were originally. Among them
perhaps, the most striking Is the game
of moccnsln, which seems to be un
questionably the forerunner of the
"little Joker," which every yenr proves
so effective at country fairs In luring
dollars from the pockets of the un
wary. This game was once widely
distributed among the Indian tribes,
and It has been said that It Is now ex
tlnct: but It can be seen to-day In Its
aboriginal form In any of the out ly
lug parts of the Navajo reservation lu
Arizona.
The paraphernalia of the game are
very simple and always at hand, con
sisting merely of a knife or other hard
ubstiince a pebble will do nnd the
moccasins of the players. The game Is
usually played at night, although
sometimes It extends over several days
and in Its native setting has a weird
ness nnd fascination which the mod
ern fakir cannot claim.' live persons
usually participate, four of them ac
tively, while the fifth acts as a musi
cian, hut usually a much larger num
ber watch the progress of the game
and perhaps place a bet occasionally.
Picture a rude ahelter of green
boughs, roughly circular In form,
placed In some thicket, or tinder the
overhanging branches of a large tiee.
In the centre a blanket Is spread upon
the ground, surrounded by fifteen or
twenty Indiana squatting about It, or
leaning over, Intently watching the
play. Over all the fitful glow and play
of light from a huge fire on one aide.
The effect Is heightened by a weird
aong, which la a constant accompani
ment of the game, and which rises and
falls aa the excitement grows and
wanea, reaching, sometimes, such freu
tied accent that the casual passer-by
might easily mistake it ror a war aong,
The players take their places at the
four corners of the blanket, and are
paired oft by couples. Each player con
tributes one of his moccasins, nnd the
winner of the toss lays them on
blanket upside down, and about six
Inches apart, with the toes pointing
forward. Then, with bis left hand be
lifts each moccnsln la turn and makes
a pretence of putting the knife under
It, making many passes and using ev
ery precaution to deceive his opponents
and the spectators. During all the tune
the musician keeps up a continuous
drumming which he accompanies with
a song. In the song the others all join
in but the opponents of the players
eagerly watch for some slip which will
give them a clue as to which moccasin
the knife or little Joker 1b concealed
under.
When the knife Is hidden to the sat
Isfaction of the plnyer, he suddenly
calls out "Ho!" In a loud voice, and
the singing drops to a low murmur.
One of his opponents Is provide. with
a short stick and be raises It threa'en-
lngly over the moccasins, first over
one, then over another, while all con
versa Hon ceases and every eve Is tle.
contcntly upon him. The In teres t be
comes more and more lutense as this
by-play proceeds until finally the man
wlih the stick places one eud of It uu
der the moccasin he selects and turns
It over, hhould the kn fe re found un
der It, he wins, and the former player
relinquishes to bim the moccasins and
knife, together with the stakes. It is
thereupon his privilege to hide the
knife, while his opponent must guess
at Its location. 1 his reversal lu post
tlon gives the native player a much
better chance to coon out even on the
play than the average fakir who works
the game at country fairs Is disposed
to allow ma victim.
