Every generation produces its quota or
percentage of card players and gamblers,
and every community furnishes its share.
A number of boys belonging to this place
are now in training at card playing. They
sit along the river shore, and in fields and

conceal the hole that he was working through
the wall, which be did by pastlng paper over

the chimney, and then slid down the rope
thus provided, to the room below, where
the chimney opens into fireplace. The
