THE AMERICAN’S
GAMBLING WAYS
In a letter from "A Herman ii
\niei b a,” published ill a Iterlii
newspaper, the writer dwells a
length on the American fondues.'
for gambling and his proficiency ii
the art.” His business methods
says the writer, “are speculative, am;
not conservative, like ours, and h
takes g 'eat risks to reach the covet
ed goal of riches. At school he plays
games with the small copper coin o
the country, and when lie reaches
college he plays poker. He gambles
on the outcome of the athletic con
tests in his and rival educational
institutions, and when driven to in
wall in argument, ml matter wha
the subject may he, (hr final, and
usually effective weapon is a bet
From school he goes into business
If this happens to ho in the linan
rial line there is no interruption o
the gambling habits acquired at
school; if he goes into 'commerce and
can resist the temptations of the
men who dangle before Ills eyes
visions of fortunes made by specu
lating in siocks he may he snvou
Hut usually he succumbs, and i>
"oi'f.' off than the financial garni)
lej\ because he 7»ecoines a specula
tor in his own business and in the
stock market also. it must he a
dreadful strain on the men, hut they
seem to thrive on it, and to grow
tat and rich as well, and only we
who worry about them remain
poor.”

Mrs. Kdward Phillips of Barclay,

that I rati recommend Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. My little girl. Cath

been taking this remedy whenovar
she has had a cold since she was two
months old. About a month ago I
contracted a dreadful cold myself,
but I took Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and was soon as well as
ever." Tills remedy is for sale by all

The secret commission, the direct
bribe, the many-headed monsters
'treating," the masked present, a.,
these form an obstacle in the path
of honest and direct business. They
may seem harmless little practices

The ('hit ago Tribune is inclined
to accept the prevailing outside judg
ments as to the badness of that city.
"It is the chief resort of criminals
in the Pnlted States,’ says the Trib
une; one reason being that it is cen
tral to the great tramp region of the
country, which sends the hobo army
there to pass the winter, and another
eason being that the city fills up
with idle sailors front the great lakes
during the winter of closed naviga
tion. while on the seaboard sailors
are employed the year around. Then
the Tribune proceeds to dwell upon
• he advantages of Chicago as a crim
inal resort so strong is the adver
tising habit upon that city:
The hobos, tramps, and ex-con
victs find in Chicago, besides a toler
ant police force, the convenient
odgihg-honses of the 1st and 18th
wards. Chicago is probably a cheap
t city to live in for the criminal or
••nearly criminal” than nnv other city
in tile cnlted State. He call K,?t nt

With the boor goes a free lunch. For

get a night’s lodging. Ho can easily
live on from $1 r.o to $ 1.7 T» per
week. He cannot got the barest
necessaries of life in New York for
the same price. Naturally the 1st
and 1 Sth wards offer Inviting homes
to the hobos tramps and criminals
during the winter. They look upon
Chicago as a luxurious city to live

ANTS -THE IDEAL
COMMUNISTS
It would perhaps be pushing me
taphors to an unwarranted extremo
to speak of "dlgulfy of labor” in
connection with the occupations of
ants. But if by the phrase we
mean that labor is the honorable lot
of all citizens, and that all laborers
of whatever sort are upon the same
level of respectability, then wo
might venture to aply the saying even
to the labors of an ant hill. For
therein all are workers, from the
newly-fledged callow to the veteran
of a second summer.
Therein is no taboo upon "hand
toil.” All forms thereof are equally
creditable. We are reminded of the
simpler state of society in the pio
neer days of the United States and
Canada and the Brltisn colonies. In
deed. it Is the natural social order
of human communities, until great
possessions, earned and inherited, or
usurped, create a favored class. Sure
ly this is an Ideal republic—no id
lers, no tramps, no citizen parasites,
no misers, no spendthrifts, no pau
pers!—Harper’s Magazine.
