Gambling and stocks.

The very fact that the professional
gambler is to a great extent social
outcast, plying his craft at night and
behind steel doors and only then with
the purchasable connivance of the aB,
thor1ties, is in itself a warming that not
even the stupidest can fail to observe.
Stock speculation, on the cont ~,
hang out the banner of respectful. ty
which a great many unthinking per-
sons have somehow come to confound
with morality-and under its protec-
ton, carries on its traffic night and day,
in city streets and village lanes, in
parlor and boudoir in store and In
factory-in short, wherever 1t can find
a single human being possessed of this
mania FOR getting something for moth
ing. Men who would scorn to cross
the threshold of a gambling house,
gamble openly in stocks and are not
ashamed to discuss their ventures In
the presence of their own children.

The bulldog used to drive cattle, and

The various breeds of hounds of to-
day are called hounds because they are
the present survivors of the time when
all hunting dogs were used to hound
game. In the early hunting days of
England every dog that was used to
accompany the hunt was selected main
ly for his speed and endurance. There
were hounds that We're supposed to
follow the game by scent, and others
which were supposed to sight it long
way off, but all were expected to be
able to run the game down. Conse-
quently. while the name of hound,
or hund in the accent Saxon, was first
used for all kinds of dogs, it finally
came to denote hunting dogs only;
that is why we call our running dogs
hounds today, such as grayhounds,
hounds, bearhounds, deerhounds, etc.
