HOW THE CALUMNY STARTED.This is how that foul libel started. One

of the most persistent and excited of the

casino visitors a few years ago was arising young politician, who was then the

State Treasurer of Indiana. Toward the

last of his term he spent most of his timeat the French Lick Hotel. There came

rumors that the affairs of his office were

not as they should be. The reports grew;

then came an investigation, revelationsand a trial, which made an ugly scandaLThe man was convicted of embezzlement.He broke down and confessed, He saidhe had been driven to steal because he

had lost his own money In the gambling

house on "Tom" Taggart's hotel lawn.All this was early in 1906* On the even-

ing of July Iof that year the agents of

the State Attorney General broke Into thecasino and ransacked it as if it had beena common gambling dive. They seizedfour faro layouts and three or four rou-lette wheels and tables, with chips, cards,

dice cups and other suggestive things tothe amount of several wagon loads. Thestate authorities brought suit at once to

have the charter of the French LickHotelrevoked, charging that gambling was per-mitted in the casino.It id history now how the trial brought

"Son, you go along home," he said.

"Let me In," the boy pleaded. "I want

to take a chance for &o,<X>o and a record.""Record, your eye." the manager prowled.

O'clock he had $700. At 11 he had $15. At 1he rushed out of the casino -with 535.0 Minbanknotes and pold.

Wben h» apkf-d for leave of absence he didnot tell his employer that he had liver com-plaint, nor that he was Roing to French]J~k to cure it.

THE MAN AND HIS BUSY RAKEThe well flurnDrill men and women always

do have money when th<y go to the tables.

When they como away they sometimeshave money and sometimes do not, but

not once in ten thousand times does one

of them go out with the precise sum with

which he came In. Always the keen facedman sweeps his table with the rake after

the whe«>l lias whirled, gathering a heap of

coins ami yellow backed bills; often he will

push across a pile of money as bright as

a bonfire to one of the ex-ited ones. Bat, as

"Tom" Ta^gart fay?, there cannot be any

gambling at the casino, for he knows of

none and he lives In the hotel a Rood part

of the year. The French I,ick Hotel is aresort for liver cmnplaii t. which is curedby the famous springs there. The casino is

rented oxpressly for the management ofpor.l tables and bowling alleys. It says soin the lease.

Of course there Is no gambling- in thecasino, and there never was except once.••Tom" Taseart swore to that in the trialonly the other day. That one time he wasMshocked he had it stopped immediately.

True, everybody in the Middle West issupposed to know that French L,ick has

the "squarest" tables, the most fashionableclientele, the most richly furnished playing

rooms and the biggest game to be foundbetween Chicago and New Orleans. Menand women, dressed as if for the opera,

do saunter into the casino of an evening

and gather excitedly before tables wherethe cloth is marked on* and lettered in red

and black, where ther« is a bowl shaped

wheel sunk in each table and a keen facedman in evening: clothes with a rake and aready voice who now and then sets thowheel to spinning.

The French Lick Hotel is a largo, loose-

jointed structure, with the wide doors, wideverandas and dark, enormous parlors that

made hotels impressive when photographalbums were in fashion and Josiah Allen's

wife visited ar Saratoga. Nowadays smart-

lydressed crowds chatter on the verandasand automobiles bray In the drives, butsomething of the hospitable quiet of other

days still hangs about the old hotel. There

is a neat village to left and right, a flatcasino on the lawn and a newer hotelacross the road, all settled into the bottomof a valley as if they had been shakenthere. On either side the hills are green

and low. the last ridges of the Cumber-lands, where tl7 range breaks and sinksaway into the flat farmlands of Indiana.

But on this happy valley the breath of

carping calumny has recently blown, a

moan conspiracy has reviled it. the serpent

of slander has spit venom on its heel. For

"Tom" Tasgart. the hearty, self-made boss

of IndianapOlis, Democratic state chairmanand twice the national chairman of his

party, is the owner of the hotel and thegenial despot of the country round. Asthey say there. •Tom" Tasgart put Orange

County on the map. Now "Tom" Taggart

wants to go to the United States Senate.

So petty politicians have sneaked behind to

stab him in the back, declaring that he has

allowed gambling in the flat casino on hislawn.

WATCHING INTENT PLAYERS.But whatever ItIs they do in the casino,

\u25a0 \u25a0 place* has a breezy. Western "harmthat draws those who would be caught asunwillinglyat a game of billiard as atroulette- Reverend clergymen have beenteen to stand watching the little- fcali onIts Journeys In the whirling bow! and•canning the drawn faces and r!enrhedgloved hands waiting on Mi blind decision.

\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0"-are almost always women In these

groups. They are all beautiful; often theycome alone. They show uniformly tb»woman's love for a bargain, choosing taput their money on the "numbers" wherethey have a chance to win large an nna small stake. And with losses come tears•nd hysteria, sobted vows that "he mustnever, never know" and not seldom appeals

for aid from honorable looking strar.gers.

Each of the keen-faced men who wieldthe rakes carries a revolver Ihis hfc>pocket- He is not careful to conceal Jt ncr,unready to tell why he goes armed. Every-

ibody knows that there are hundreds of

thousands of dollars lying loose in. thecasino every night. Th^se wild hills ofthe Cumberland range have- shelled ban-dits time out of mind; the famous Archerboys once lived at French Li<-k Itself;

three determined men could walk In andtake the money away In the face of the

whole crowded room If there were not aguard with a turn for fighting there. Acd.for some reason the management do*- not

look to the state to protect MIbowling

alleys and pool tables.At the door to the casmo ctts a baga

native of the region, long-limbed, awk-ward, with hands like hams, yet bearing

himself with the courtesy that marks th*people of his mountains. He scans every

corner. To those who are not dwellers Intr.ecounty is given a card entitling the- holderto the privileges of the French L,f^k Clubfor one week. The man at they door knowsevery man. woman and child In ing*

their liver springs and their casino. Thatfriendly interest is worth keeping, if oniy

to meet the day when juries must bedrawn to refute sneaking politicians. M^nfrcm the .rich and wicked cities do leavemoney behind in the casino, but not anative of Orange County will do so If"Tom" Taggart can prevent it.

Even the- outsiders are generously taken,

care of. Many a poor fellow who re"i?<lfrom the tables without a cent has beenclapped on the shoulder and received aticket home and an invitation to come baci

to settle and get his revenge, Even atthat, the outsider is not always content.
