know it is an old saying that bank
never considers itself loser, no matter
what is drawn out, but simply loan
ing the money to the lucky Individual,
to be paid back to him. A short time
ago there was a dealer who tackled the
game from the opposite side of the
table from where he is used to sitting
and cashed in $500 off a fve-dollar
bill
''He went out with the boys that
night and blowed it in. The next

money was dealing and dropped $500.
The house got good percentage for
the loan of that $500 for one night"

"All sorts. I have seen people in

The other third of them may have a

their luck again. By that means they
manage to keep up. I'll bet that I could
go around now and strike two thirds

Another thing: There are a number
of persons here, as elsewhere, who are
in the habit of stalking gamblers, who,
as a rule, never pay them back, even
if they win. They will pay back one
of their own class, but hardly ever an
outsider.
"You see, although there are some
gamblers who are honorable, the ma
jority of them are not. Let them
smooth it over as they will, most men
who depend upon gambling for a liv

morality. AS rule, they think that

Evils of Washington clerkships.

Enter one OF the Offices and you will
see pale-faced clerks, men. and women,
bending over desks writing, and figur-
ing away their lives in order to obtain
that which sustains their lives. A
Washington clerk seldom gets more
than this, and under the civil service
reform scheme the Government clerk
is becoming more and more a machine,
and less and less an active, thinking.

marble pavement and think of the

terprise shriveled into dolessness, and

good pay to them, and they will work
with a will, hoping to rise through the
various branches until their earnings

fore they find they are fighting the
wind mills, and in the same old grind
of copying other mems writings, of
posting dead books, where they have
not the opportunity for the exercise
of an original thought, their brains
will waste away for lack of use, and
the lazy hours of from g. O'Clock until

day in the future they will wake to the
fact that they have been swallowed up
by that great monster eannibal, called
the Government, which not only eats
up mems bodies but their souls as
well. At this time some. of them may
attempt to cut themselves loose. but
their efforts will be as futile as those
of the LAGOON. The snakes of habit
and dolessness have wound them
selves about their palsied frames and
they will wait until at last death will
