State affairs will be of unusual inter

Conventions and the ensuing election in
November will be of added Importance.

The Advantage In Gambling.

all the hundred and one incidental eX-
penses unless he derived a profit that
was based on some fixed principle and
not dependent on mere luck or chance
Just where the profit comes in, howey
er, Is something that very few people
understand. Most of them imagine il
is derived from some slight advantage
in the arrangement of the game, such
as the zero numbers in roulette or the
splits in faro, but they are very much
mistaken. 1t really depends on pl-a
ciple that applies to all games alike
and might be termed the percentage
of capital
Strange as it may SEEM could take
a capital of $1,000 and begin pitching
nickels, in which the chances are per-
fectly even, letting the players guess
either way they wanted to, and would
make steady profit day in and day
out. The secret is this The average
player has only a limited amount Of
money, and slight run of bad luck
wipes him out. He is obliged to quit
and somebody else takes his place
while the house keeps right on through
