know that monV they have lost has
already been found; that 1t is now
safely crammed into the bullying pocket
OF the man who helped them lose it;
and yet this knowledge will not pre-
vent them from losing more money in
the same way tomorrow, provided they
can get it to lose. The reason is that
mania has taken possession of them
the mania for gambling.
Those who have studied the question
say that this mania is spreading in

which furnish bonds for the honesty Of
these employees say that their own loss
es are more frequent and risks greater
because Of this growing desire to take
short cut to riches by gambling.
