Gambiing-A Warning.

William J. Aiken, & member of
the police force Of this city, was re-
Gently detected in the act Of commit
ting a burglary, and on being arrest
ed, confessed to have been guilty of
long series of similar crimes. He
has since been sentenced to twenty
years hard labor in the State prison.
When the usual question was put to
him-what he had to cay why SEN
tence should not be passed upon him
he freely admitted bis guilt, but
remarked: Gambling is vice whicn
I cannot overcomel"
In these few words the ruined and
wretched man-who wept bitterly
when he was reminded of his wife and
childreu-state1 a terrible truth,
which unfortunately, is applicable
not only to himself, but as rule,
with scarcely and exception, to all
who have once become addicted to
the practice of gambling. The habit
furnishes kind Of intellectual in
toxicatiou, which is worse, if anything
can be worse, even than the intoxica-
ton of strong drink. No one, after
Welding to 1t, seems to be able to
overcome the weakness---to resist the
temptation.
The words Of. this doomed criminal
are full of warnings to the young
men Of the country: "Gambling is
a vice which l cannot overcomeT
Cut out these words. Paste them in
your commonplace book. When ever
you are tempted to play game for
single dollar or single cent, re-
member Aiken in bis gloomy cell in
the State prison, aud bis terrible con-
fessien: "Gambling IS vice achich
