EVANGELIZING SAN FRANCISCO

The moral newspapers of San Fran

up the poker joints along Market

play a game Of draw poker in San
Francisco without attracting the at
tention Of the municipal authorities
but this was in the olden golden days
before the n lunged importation
f1om the east invaded the cosmopolitan
city Of San Francisco How times
have changed in the last quarter of a
century. The merry makers of the
bonanza days when stocks were Jump
Ing . hundred a day have been packed
cut to Lone Mountain and the sound
Of laughter has been hushed in the
halle Of midnight revelery. All the
pleasures Of the world, the flesh and
the devil. are wilted beneath the
touch of municipal restriction and a
hawk eyed minion of the law watches
every body who don't put up. 1t is
getting to be- fact patent to every
body tina. San Francisco 10 no longer
free aud easy or wide open. A man
to haze any standing there must be
re ular in his habits, temperate to a
degree and not in the least bit gam
bolsom. A little morality may be
tolerated in select society and draw
poker is allowed at the swell clubs
