brother, am sorry for your affective cir,
cumstances, and that you had an unfor.
tunate ancestry, and that YOU have kent
such bad company and had such discour-
aging, environment. I notice that after a
man mas been making violent TRADE
against his fellow men he Is on his wav'
uown, and II he live long enough he will be-
asking you for quarter Of dollar to get
drink or nights lodging. Behave YOUR
sell we'll, Oh, young man. and YOU will find
lie pleasant thing to live and the world
full OF friends and Gods benedictioa eyery-

Again, II you would be master fthe sit.-
alton, expect nothing from good luck. or,
naphazard, or gaming adventures. In this
time, when 1t Is estimated that gambling
, ,axocnanges money to tho amount OF $50 :,
,vo,ooo day, this remark may be useful,
uere come times In many mans lite.
Shen ne hopes to get something for which
10 oOes not give an equivalent, and there
IRE NIFTY kinds OF gambling. Stand aloof
rom all OF them. Understand that the
rambling spirit is disease, and the mora
uccessful you are the more certain voul
re TO go right onto your own ruin. Hay-:

repa-attons that will arres. the victim of!
1cotine, and religion can save any one ex., (
opt gambler. The fact is he is lrrespon-' t
Bile. Having got the habit in him he is |
more responsible for keeping on than o
AN falling from the roof Of four-story. -
ouse can stop at the window OF the sec, .

instance where gambler has been re-. o
orted or reports himself as being con. 5,
'rted, but In that case the man was not
NY under the heel Of the passion. The S
al gambler Is through passenger to- Is
bath and perdition. The only use in re- h
rring to him Is In the way Of preyen. y
On. He began by taking chances on a, IL
'okcase or sewing machine at a, Il
lurch fair and ended by getting few, n
'nnies for his last valuable In pawn, a
oker's shop. The only man who gam. II
es successfully Is the man who loses tt
