Heather Chinee." And yet it is precisely
the first steps which are SO dangerous, and
tnese nrst steps are generally regarded as quite
innocent enough.
Recently these first steps are developing in
curious ways, If not ways that are dark The
other day we noticed large glass bottle con-
tanning buttons in the window of store, and
written across the window was the startling
announcement that every Gus tomer that should
spend $l or more was entitled TO guess at the
NUMBER OF buttons in the bottle. This privi-
lege was to be allowed up to certain date,
when the person who had guessed nearest the
able present.
Now, what is this but step in the direction
OF gambling, il, indeed. it is not gambling it.
sell? 1t is undoubtedly taking chance, and
TINS chance is paid for bypurchasing dollars
worth OF goods OF the merchant. 1t was really
quite suggestive 10 notice how it caught the
public attention and how many persons were
constantly crowdlng the window reading the

regards the question under consideration.
what must be done? Undoubtedly the evil is
great and the remedy ought TO be applied as
soon as possible. The first and, perhaps, the
most important step to stay the tide is to begin
the work in the home circle. Let parents in
struct their children in the true principles of
NE and particularly discourage them in those
false methods to get gain. We fear the parents
are too indifferent about this matter. Every
noble life must find its true inspiration in the
nome circle, and hence we plead for purity in
the home, and then we believe the Sunday
school teacher and preacher and the civil law
Will have much less to do in order TO correct
the evil OF which we have been speaking.
1t may be necessary for US, however, to Or
game anti gambling societies, Such societies
have been formed in England, and one in con-
nect1on with the Methodist Mission at the Cen
trail Hall, Manchester, is worthy OF mention.
Illuminated pledge-cards have been issued aud
many of them have been signed. The follow
ing is the form of the pledge:
believing gambling, betting on horses, etc.,
10 be 8 sin against God and @ great curse to
men, hereby pledge myself God helping me,
to abstain from this evil III every form, and to
do my utmost to save others from it,
We should like to see this pledge, or SIM
liar one, widely circulated here. 1t certainly
would have educational effect which could
have no other but salutary influence upon
the rising generation. We commend most
heartily the efforts of the Civic Federation to
assist the authorities in putting an end to
these denominations, or at least reducing to
minimum the gambling vice in our City.

They Will Continue to Sell Quail
and Ducks Until Ar
rested.
SAY PARTIALLY rs SHOWN.
The Law to Be Thoroughly Tested
During the Last Month of the
Open Season.

The game law passed by the last Legis-
lature making it lawful to shoot quail
ducks and other wild game from October
Is until February Is, but prohibiting its
sale, except from the middle of November
until the 18th of January, continues to
irrltate the poultry-sellers and those who
earn their livelihood by shooting game for
the markets.
1t is the intention of every pouItryman,
wholesaler or retailer, in this City to keep
on selling quail and ducks until arrested.
Each one seems to believe that arrest will
surely follow, but consoles himself with
the thought that no jury can be got to-
gether who will agree upon conviction.
Since last October a dozen cases of this
kind are still pending in the Police Court.
All the commission merchants in town
that deal in game have banded together
for mutual protection into an organiza ton
known as the ''Game-sellers' Protective AS
sociation," differed as follows: Tim
O'Brien president, D. E. Allison secretary
and K. *. Malcolm treasurer.
This association has engaged for its at
torney Thomas ]. Riordan. Mr.. Riordan
said yesterday: This law is Infamous.
1t is calculated only for the favored few.
The poor man who gains his living by
supplying the market with game nuts
stand by and watch the swell sports slaugh-
ter it by the hundreds. You may rest
assured that the law will be repealed at the
next meeting Of the Legislature.
III was passed surreptitiousiy, and the
eame-dealers knew nothing whatever about
it until it appeared in the statute-book. a
law should apply to all. God Almighty
did not create the quail and ducks for the
rich man alone to shoot. He made them
for the poor also.
"a man who cannot afford to paw two or
three dollars to go out in the country and
shoot must 60 without if be has no rich
friends with whom he may share his
spois.
II have advised every dealer whom
represent to continue to sell, and when
they are arrested l shall demand a Jury
trial for each one. In this way we will
keep the thing rolling until the law is re-
pealed.
~ cannot say as yet whether we will
appeal to the Supreme Court or not"

that the words were simply picture of

Attorney Barclay Henley, while dismounting

painful liberation of the right hand and other
minor injuries. While his hurts are not con-

contine him to mis- home for some time to come.

to me as rule ethically unsound and NOR

his port or demeanor is that of firt and
