1t appears that all gambling is not
that is carried on under certain condi-
lions is gambling, while that kind
which is carried on under certain con-
ditions is not gambling. The poker
game In Granite Falls the other day In
which one OF the participants killed an
other was gambling, without doubt,
while the game OF checkers New
York clergyman played with young
man last week, in which ihe minister
put up as stake his daughters hand
in marriage while the young man
agreed to pay the church debt If he
was beaten, was not gambling. II you
drop nickel in the slot machines and
it stops on the yellow, and you hold the
lever down long enough, you get two
dollars. That's gambling because the
machine is In the saloon. But If you
pay ten cents for chance on silk
quilt worth twenty dollars and you
draw the lucky number, or II you don I
draw II, it is not gambling because you
are at church fair. II you buy pool
on horse race you are gambling, but
If you take a flyer on wheat or pork or
stock, your a speculator. Seven up at
twenty-five cents a corner is gam
bling, but progressive cinch with a
two-dollar book for prize is society
game. At the school and college field
day exercises the contestants strive
mighty hard for the purses that are
hung up, but that is not gambling,
though II the boys should go in the
back yard and shoot craps that would
be gambling. There are so many ways
in which gambling may be practised or
may not be, just as you happen to view
the subject, that it is not singular that
sometimes you gamble before You
think. This comparative view of gam
bling proves that there are different
grades and degrees of the vice, differ
ent stages OF disease as it we're, some
of which are more sinful and dangerous
than others, but even these milder
forms encourage and propagate the
love of hazard which is common To and
Inherent In all human kind, without
regard TO age, sex, color or previous
conditions.
