Shall I sketch the history of the gambler? Lured by bad company, he finds his way into place where honest men ought never to go. He sits down to his first game, but only for pastime and the desire of being thought socia- ble. The players deal out the cards They unconsoiously play into satan's hands, who takes all the tricks and both the players souls for trumps-he being a sharper at any game. A slight stake is put up, just to add interest to the play. Game after game is played. Larger stakes and still larger. They begin to move nervously on their chairs. Their brows lower and eyes flash until now they who win and they who lose, fired alike with passion, sit with set jaws and compressed lips and clinched fists and eyes like freballs that seem start ing from their sockets to see the final turn before it comes; if losing, pale with envy and tremulous with unutter- ed oaths cast back redhot upon the heart; or winning, with hysteric laugh -"Ha, ha! have itp'
 A few years have passed, and he is only the wreck of a man. Seating him. self at the game, ere he throws the first card, he stakes the last relic of his wife -the marriage ring which sealed the solemn vows between them. The game is lost, and staggering back in exhaus- tion he dreams. The bright hours of the past mock his agony, and in his dreams fiends with eyes of fire and tongues of flame circle about him with joined hands, to dance and sing their orgies with hellish chorus, chanting, "Hail, brotherl' kissing his clammy forehead until their loathsome locks, flowing with serpents, crawl into his bosom and sink their sharp fangs and suck up his lifeblood. and coilinR around his heart

game. The dice have been found loaded with platina so that doublets come up every time. These dice are introduced by the gamblers unobserved by the hon. est men who have come into the play, and this accounts for the fact that 99 out of 100 who gamble, however wealthy when they began, at the end are found to be poor, miserable, hag
 gard wretches that would not now be allowed to sit in the doorstep of the house that they once owned.
 In gaming house in San Francisco young men having just come from the mines deposited large sum upon the ace and won $22, But the tide turns. Intense anxiety comes upon the countenances of all. Slowly the cards went forth. Every eye is fixed. Not a sound is heard until the ace is revealed favorable to the bank. There are shouts of Foul Foul I" but the keepers at the tables produce their pistols, and the uproar is silenced, and the bank has won $95, 900. Do you call this game of chance? There is no chance about it.
 Notice also the effect of this crime upon domestic happiness. It has sent it's ruthless plowshare through hun dreds of families, until the wife sat in rags and the daughters were disgraced and the sons grew up to the same infa- nous practices or took a short cut to destruction across the raurderer's scaf- fold. Home has lost all charms for the gambler. How tame are the children's s caresses and wife's devotion to the gambler How drearily the fire burns on the domestic hearth There must be louder laughter and something to win and something to lose, an excitement to drive the heart faster, fillip the blood and fire the imagination. No homo, however bright, can keep back the gamester. The sweet call of love bounds back from his iron soul, and all endear- ments are consumed in the fire of his passion.

TO DYE A FAST BLACK.
With Diamond Dyes One Can Color BLACK
so that IL VIII Not Fade

II is only within the last few wears
that 1t has been possible for an ineN-
perienccd person to dive black that
would not crock. fade or wash out.
Even blacks dyed by city steam dye-
inc establishments were seldom re-
liable and fast.
The advent of three Diamond Dve
Fast Blacks-for wool. for cotton and
for silk and feathers-haS changed all
this. With a l0-ccnt package of one
of these Diamond Dve Fast Black the

directions on the packages are -
plain and simple that even child

fenced dyer of few wears ago.
Success in home dyeing i secured
only when the Diamond DYES are

dealer To buy limitations of the Dia-
mond DYES that have no past record
