A GAMBLER SPEAKS.
A Defense Of the Business from
One in 1t.

San Francisco Bull etin.
In the stage between Miseoula and
Deer Lodge, the only passengers be-
sides myself were two gamblers and a
hard female companion. One of these
gamblers rode inside with me and
was especially anxious. apparently,
that / should know that he was a
gambler. He had followed the bust
ness for eighteen years and had been
in every town in the territory. His
companion had been over Montana
and Washington territory, and bad
been gambler at Virginia and Car
son cities also at BOdie.
Business" 1 was told was bad in
Montana, and the pair were on the
hunt for a new place of settlement. 1t
will cheer Portlanders very much to
hear that these gentlemen aud their
female friend think seriously Of going
down to the settle at Portland. The
inside gambler informed me that faro
was the squarest game dealt. He
could not or would not tell me what
percentage or advantage, on the aver
age, the dealer had over the player.
He said there were four or five men
in Montana who has 100000 to
5000, 900 Invested in the business. !"
One of them made a quarter of a
million and left the business. He is
now q heavy cattle dealer. My
friend also informed me that if three
or four of the leading business men of
q town indulge in gambling their
example causes dozens of young men
to gamble also. Marriage and the
settlement of a country, he said. were
both Dad for his business. When
young men get married they had the
attractions Of home. unless welded
to the vice they no longer had either
time or money to gamble with. /
asked him about the risks of shooting
scrapes in his business. He said the
popular impression was all humbug
on this subject. He said a gambler
was as safe at his faro table as If
locked up in the penitentiary. l no
ticed that he carried a pistol, for it
got out of his pocket accidentally.

The ambassador of Commerce.

The ambassador of Commerce.
III rtford Post.
Not long ago a Hartford drummer
was warned of the crusty disposition of
a retailer in one of the Central New
York cities, and informed that while
he had better call upon him, the firm
would not be disappointed should he
fail to transact avv business. "Ill
sell him." said the Hartford boy, con-
fdenlly. Arriving at the city in ques-
ton, he paid his first call upon the
man he had been warned against.
He found him sitting upon a high stool
before a desk, porirg over the pages
of a ledger. As the drummer entered
he just turned his head. took the in sam-
pie case, said "Humph," and went on
tith his figures. After lapse of five
minutes he said. without looking
up:
eff you're drummer / don't wan,
to see you. 30 don't waste time here I"
"But I'm not q drummer" was the
reply
"What in are you, then p
inquired the retailer.
Il am an ambassador of commerce,
answered the salesman, nothing
daunted.
"Embassador what? Well, / can't
talk with you"
IF you only knew it. theresa man
in one of the leading institutions in
Hartford that would give 800 to talk
with me-"
"What sort of a man is he?"
"He's deaf and dumb"
At this response the retailer came
down from his high stool and before
he left the drummer had his name in
his book for handsome bill of goods.

MIR. LathrOp and immigration.

About two weeks ago Rev. E. r. La
threp, of this city, published short ar
ticle in the N. Y. Witness in regard to the
superior advantages possessed by Mower
county over localities in Dakota, for
farmers of some means who desire to come
west. During the next week after the
publication, Mr.. Lathrop received over
twenty letters making inquiries in regard
to the country. These letters came from
Pennsylvania, New York, New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut, Illinois and Iowa.
This is but straw showing what deter
mined, systematic effort in this direction
would do for Mower county. This is the
result of an article in a single paper only.
With fund of few thousand dollars
with which to pay reasonable salary to
a good man like Mr.. Lathrop for his SER
vices, and to pay for advertising in sew
eral of the prominent newspapers OF the
east, and for circulars, the population of
Mower county could be largely increased
by a good class of citizens in short time.
This scheme should not be allowed to
slumber Persistent advertising always
brings it's reward. Let the subscription
papers be started all over the county, the
money raised, and the good work COM
menced as soon as possible.
