upon the walls. Everything is as bare
and primitive as the lumberjack wishes it
to be. A large base burner coal stove
is in the center of the room. Here and
there can be seen the round sawdust filled
tavern expectorating box. At almost any
hour of the day men can be seen play
ing cards. Some sit at the dingy win
dows, smoke their corncob pipes and gaze
out across the way An air Of peace and
plenty and tobacco smoke fills the room.

however, spends but little time in his
bedroom. 1t serves its purpose as bare
sleeping room when, tired and weary,
with the strains Of the last vaudeville
song still in his ears, the lumberjack,
clad in his heavy boots, stretches his
long frame out on small cot bed for a
dreamless sleep.

the late Rev. ]. C. Crooks of Denver, for
meFly of St. Cloud made to the
parsonage when Mr.. Morrill, was pastor of
the Calvary Baptist church in this city.
He assisted at revival services during the
stay. One morning while at his break
fast he said to Mr.. Morrill, that the diff
Guilty in conducting revival services was
the result not so much of the wicked
ness IN the world as the wickedness pre-
yailtng in the church, and referred to card
playing among church members as one
of the stumbling blocks in the way of the
advance OF the cause Of righteousness.
Mr.. Morrill, said that it might be true,
but that he knew nothing of that form OF
vice. Just then little Lowell Morrill,
toddled into the room and, throwing q
whole lapful of red, white and blue discs
on the table at the Doctors plate, said ::
Papa, what's dese?"
Mr. MorrilIs face took on colors no
less varfegated than those on the chips.
Said Dr. Crooks with a stern glance
Judgment ought to begin at the house of
Israel"
1t is needless to- say that the discussion
on the evils OF card playing ceased at
once, and ever afterward Mr. Morrill, su-
perintended house cleaning himself If
transpired that during the minister's alb
senee the night before at the services, a
visiting friend from Cincinnati, who en-

DIR. Montgomery's Demunciation.
DR.. J. s. Montgomery OF Wesley M. E..
church said:
AS to ''parlor poker" regard 1t most en-
pnatically as nothing less than social hem
orrhage. 1t Is giving a wild rein to a pro-
pensity which contributes large share of
scandal to society. There are some people
to-day who have drifted into such a whirl-
pool Of festivity that they have passed all
limitations, and have tossed aside, with
fippant jest, all regard for integrity, sobrie-
ty and Righteousness. This social evil is
alarmingly prevalent. The principle holds
namely, gambling is a sin whether the chip
is tossed beneath giided ceiling or ratified
on the rough table in dingy room OF some
tenement. The law that applies to one ap-
plies to the other, and no consideration
should be shown the one that is not extended
to the other. In petty gambling the young,
people especially face a tremendous danger.
which has always borne a threatening front.
1t seizes social instinct and bends 1t to a
use that is a clear prostitution of the whole
some standards Of well regulated society.
Recently young man came to me with a
heavy heart. he came TO our city about TWO
years ago with $4,000. The night he sat in
my parlor he was penniless; his wife, In her

band in a short time. The poor fellow was
a beggar, asking anything that he might
undo the past and hide the wrong. A greater
portion OF this little fortune had been lost
in social gambling, so-called. He was flushed
and excited and bordering on collapse. With
a sad, faltering step he turned away only to
reap the harvest Of his own follies and sin.
He was plague-stricken by the curse Of social
gambling, and it was blasting his all.

her worthless. On the other hand. IL is stated
that such breeders ]. B. Haggin. James r.
