given to one T. A. Parks, who gave them the best of it all the way through.
 Langford Vanderslice, in right field, did brilliant work for the Forrest City team, catching three long drives and stopping every thing which came his way. He got tour hits off Leak, two of which were two baggers. With more im- provement in base running Wander slice bids fair to be star.
 Sanders pitched a steady game till the fifth inning. when the muff of small "pop-up" fly by Paslay caused him to let down and practi- cally emoralized the players.
 The game was ours in the nintb inning, when the score stood 15 to l3 in favor of Forrest City, when Lonoke, with two men on bases and two outs, batted little fly to Paslay, who, on account of Lon- oke "rooter' throwing his hat at the ball, muffed the fly and the umpire called all safe.
 Line-up.-Forrest City: Percy El- drldge, short stop; McGregor Got. ton PlanD, catcher; James Gillian, second base; J. Sanders, pitcher; Paslay, third base; R. Eldridge, centre field; H. Sanders, left field; Vanderslice, right field; Calhoun, first base.
 Lonoke: Wright, first base; Ben ton, second base; Hawkins, catcher; Leake, pitcher; Weedman, third base; Thomas, left field; Morris, short stop; Eagle, centre field; Gatto, right field.

 All the visitors from thIs city en. joyed the game immensely and will ever remember with pleasure the hospitality and many kindnesses shown them by the good people oi DeValls Bluff.
 The roofing of Messrs. Winfield Horne, Roleson and Stockard was one of the most Imaginable features of the evening.
 Miss Apperson, fair visitor from Little Rock, also cheered lustily for the Forrest City team, fol which she may claim our everlast ing love and gratitude.

How Gamblers Are Made.

Published by request ot i1ev W. C. Davidson.
 At a mass meeting in the Second Presbyterian church, Portsmouth, O.. on recent Sabbath afternoon in the presence of over POO men, a converted gambler aud ex-saloon keeper made the following statement, which created a profound impressions:
 .'I have been in the saloon business, with gambling room attached, for tue last four years, and claim to know something about what am going to tell you. do not believe that tht gambling den is nearly so dangerous. nor does it do anything like the same amount of harm as the social card party in the home. l give this as my reason: In the gambling room the win dows are closed tight. the curtains are pulled down; everything is secretly done for fear of detection, and none but gamblers, as d rule, enter there; while in the parlor all have access to the game, children are permitted t. watch it, young people are invited to partake in it. IL is made attractive and alluring by giving prizes, serving refreshments and adding high social enjoyments. For my part, 1 never could see the difference between play ing for a piece of silver nodded in tht shape of money and silver nodded in the shape of cup or thimble. The principle is the same and whenever property changes hands over the luck of cards, no matter how small is the value of the prize, believe it is gam bling. Have you eyer thought of it. Where do all the gamblers come from They are not taught in the gambling dens. A 'greener,' unless lie is fool never enters d gambling hell, because he knows lie will be feeced out of ev- erything Le possesses Tn less than If teen minutes. He has learned some where else before he sets foot inside of such place. When he has played ir the parlor, Tn the social game of the home, and has become proficient enough to win prizes among his friends, the next step with him is to seek out the gambling room, for he has learned, and now counts upon his proficiency tC hold his own.. The saloon men and gamblers chuckle and smile when the, read in the papers of the parlor games given by the ladies, for they know thai after while these same men will be eome the patrons of their business. say, then, the parlor game is the col lege where gamblers are made and ed ucatea. In the name of God, men stop this business in your homes."
 After he had taken his seat another converted ex gambler, who led the mems meeting in the Second Presbyte ran church the following Sabbath arose and said: II endorse every word uhich the brother before me has jus, uttered. was d gambler. I learned to play cards, not in the saloon, not ir my own home, but in the homes of ID, young friends, who invited me to play with them and taught me how."- Southern Christian Advocate.
