in his favor, holding that inasmuch as the game
was played with customers, and that had he
won their money 1t might have affected his
sales, it must be considered Legitimate item Of
expense. It strikes one at first as being a De
culiar decision, but when you look at it in all its
phases 1t is only Just. There are lots and lots

money on in order to keep his trade that the
house Will not permit him TO charge as expense

December's sunbeams chill
Shone coldly on dying ALL
Prone on a rugged hill.
No ONE was there from friends so dear,
No help except from God,
No human eye looked on him here
Stretched on the wintry sod.
His eyes saw not the rocks around;
He missed no downy pillow.
Two-parted friends his spirit found
Beside Atlantic's billow;
Friends of his happy boyhood's time;
Friends of this battle year;
Friends OF his manhood's gallant prime,
By LAST and field made dear.
He dreamt he was at home again,
And heard his fathers blessing
His mothers tears fell like the rain,
Mixed with her glad caressing;
The Northern pines about his home
Sounded tuneful measure;
No more, no more he wished to roam
Here was unbounded pleasure.
