THE spirit Of gam
Don't bling has too strong
Gamble. Il hold on the Ameri-

Gamble. hold on the Ameri-
can people. We gam
bic for lands at home and the ma
ton reaches for lands across the
seas. We bet and gamble ON
most everything.
The whole nation had II lesson
in gambling last week. Right here
the following from the Chicago
journal is to the point:
The bet of II man on the board
of trade that corn will advance in
price has no relation anywhere or
in any degree to any useful indus
try. 1t does not help the world to
get the corn it wants, nor the far
mcr To grow it, nor the railroads
to transport it. 1t is neither use
full nor necessary; consequently, 1t
is not honorable.
1t is not an occupation for n
Young man that cares to be ON
good terms with himself.
In the next place, it is Il fact
that money made in the way Phil
lips has made money is never an
enduring fortune. 1t comes easily,
it goes easily. The mere fact that
these operations have no place i'll
the worlds demands and supplies,
that they are not open to legitimate
calculations and forcSights, seems
to attach TO them certain retrib-
utive disaster.
Besides. the young man may
very protitably remember that to
make money and make it quickly
is not all there is in life, and To
make it in a way that destroys
ones satisfaction with oneself is
to make it worse than worthless.
In New York within the last
month clerks, bookkcepcrs and
messenger boys have pawned
clothes and run into debt to gam
Bile in stocks. We suppose that
here and there have been some
heads that have kept steadily at
work doing what they find to do
the best they can and putting by IA
little every week, and we have no
doubt that each of these, if he
lives and sticks to his task, will
fare far better in the end than tn,
most fortunate of gamblers.
