Sir ltirn,ns Lesson.

lWAterDUrN RcpuOlican,D
 Sir Hiram Maxim has finished the lesson he has been giving hs friend Lord ROsslyn, the amateur gambler with a system designed to beat Monte Carlo. At one time the' gambler was some fl6,000 ahead of the banker. but according to the terms of the agree mont he was to be a true sport and play until one or the other had all of inc &l0o,0oo m counters with which they started So the banker got It.
 II is to be hoped that not only Lord Rosslyn. but a good many of his fel- low amateur gamblers will profit by the lesson rho infnlible system that will beat inc bank armed with It's per oentdge does not exist In proof, look at Monte Carlo, built and maintained by Inc money of players who hoped to break the bank
 Gambling s as degrading a vice as any that poor humanity Is heir to, It appeals to all tho worst there is in us, to avarice, laziness, desire for unwhole- some excitement And then when 1t has ruined us in character 1t throws us aside as worthless even for It's own purposes.

which Is from 150 to 200 feet wide
and FL feet deep. may oe extended to
the Mississippi river and partly by
way of lateral canals between st,

waterway 21 feet deep to the gulf.
The great artery OF traffic is ready $
for deep water navigation for about
40 miles. From Joliet to Dresden
Heights and from the latter port to
the Mississippi is partly finished. 10
complete that work and build lateral
channels along the Mississippi be-
tween st. Louis and Cairo will cost
$57,000.000. This sum will also pro-
vide for drainage OF the river and
the removal of sandbars TO give a
clear channel of 81 feet all the way
to Louisiana.
1t Is calculated by railroad mon
that completion OF the channel will
relieve the railroads OF one-half OF
the heavy exports and leave them
free to handle the lighter and more
profitable freight. The unit OF barge
suggested is boat Of 1000 tons with
a speed of 40 miles a day and
draught OF from three to eighteen
