Gambling at Sea.

FROM LONDON truth.
A friend OF mine recently returned
from a trip to the United States very
full Of the mischief done by profess
sional gamblers and card sharpers on
the Atlantic liners, and strongly OF the
opinion that the shipping companies
are responsible for the existence of this
evil.
1t Is pretty certain, / believe, that the
blackleg business is organized like In
other industry, and that the gangs who
frequent the Atlantic liners are regular
employees Of an individual or firm. 1t
Is at any rate certain that the MEM
bers Of the ang are known to the
ships officers, and my friend tells me
tina the names Of seven of them were
pointed out to him on the passenger
list of the White Star liner on which he
returned and the individuals identified
as they sat at table. 1t is interesting
to note that among them was a woman
and a youth Of innocent appearance.
1t Is one of the worst features Of the
evil that many of them are youngsters
going out to America or Canada, with
most of their worldly wealth in their
pockets. My friend learned that the
gang on his ship got ESQ from GER
tain passengers at one sitting, and
that on a recent voyage of the same
ship they had fleeced q young passen-
ger to the tune of G600. He therefore
urges that as the companies know the
individuals they o absolutely re-
fuse to carry them, and stand the
racket OF legal proceedings for so do

Uncle Hiram. Three months married,

casts covert chances at the house as
though some one were looking at him

swings the pump handle more slowly,
smiles occasionally, and seems to be an
noyed because the meal ls late. Two
years married, he looks sour and glum,
kicks the cat over the ~coal-house, and
looks at the house as If he would like to
choke somebody. Three years married,
he sits on the door step, and smokes,

A TRAINED NURSE
After Years of Experience, Advises Women Ia
Regard to Their Health.
