Fellcrs, this religious racket aud

KIND OF troublesome TO take time every
evening aud stop the game 20 attend
TO this racket, but | believe In going
The whole hog or none. and when /
undertake to live religious I'm do IL,
or bust trace, and you can just bet
your sweet life on that; besides it's
good thing 10 mortify the flesh q little
now and then; all are apt To hold better
hands afterwards. | heiicvc in show

didn't understand the game; didn't
know how much 1t took TO play, nor
