"THE FOOL AND HIS MONEY!

Perhaps the most unfortunate
streak of good luck, (excusing the
paradox that has struck this town
in a long time is the reported draw
ing of five thousand dollar prize in
the Louisiana lottery by two men in
this place. Unfortunate, because
whether true or not, the very report
will stimulate weak-headed and
thoughtless people to ''try their
luck, hoping they too may be among
the lucky ones. Laying aside the
well known fact that many of the
people who patronize lotteries are
of the poorer class, and that the
money they thus squander either be-
longs to those who have sold them
clothes or groceries on credit, or to
the comforts of life which this money
would otherwise obtain, the gamb-
ling mania thus encouraged and de-
veloped, clings like serpent. Mr..
Greene, the reformed gambler, once
said he had known men addicted to
intoXica ting drink and to the tobac-
co habit to really reform; but he new
er knew a gambler to stay reformed.
The infa tuation that he was to get
something for nothing clung to him
till death
Many people are not aware of the
amount of money that goes out of
this section every month to enrich
that hateful institution known as
the Louisiana state lottery. Boys,
young men and older men send regu-
| larly to this monster which swallows
all that comes and continually calls
for more. A sample of one way it
works: A large-hearted but by no
means wealthy citizen of this place,
| took pity on local loafer who was
poorly clad and looked pinched and
cold, and gave him a dollar to help
buy a warmer coat. A little later
his tender sympathy received a rude
| shock on learning that the almoner
of his bounty had collected a little
more money and put the entire
amount into lottery ticket.
This mania for lottery gambling is
all over the state and in other states
as well. Every little while some one
draws a small prize, So, $3.50 or
even up to 500; but scarcely has
one in this section been known
to draw over 500; and for every dol
lar drawn many dollars go in which
the victim never sees again.
