Ought to Know.

Richard A. Garfield, one Of the
sbfg gamblers of his time, puts the
gaming proposition in unique form.
"If you play with gambler long
enough" he says, "he is bound to
win your money. He can't help but
get it. When you play with me in
round numbers you put up s10O and
against that I put up $50. Now fig
ure how long you can keep doing
this. You may win my money now
and then, you may break me tempo
rarily, but as long as you play against
me at the odds of 100 to 80 in the
end I'll have your money"
Garfield ought to know. Hei is
reputed to have made S5,000,000 in
the gambling business. 1t is said he
has not personally touched card
in twenty years. He instructs the
business of his establishment to sub
ordinates and relies with matbemati-
cal certainty upon the returns. Can
field puts it very plainly. If you go
into the gamblers game he has one
hundred chances to your ninety, ten
chances to your nine. If you stay
in the game long enougn-and the
majority of the players do-he will
get your pile. 1t is simply science,
skill and luck pitted against absolute
certainty. The end is known from
the beginning.
That is where the average man
who CANDLES makes his fundamental
mistake imagines that good
fortune will beat the law of mathe
matics. He bets oh the theory that
good playing and luck will enable
him to overcome the stubborn fact
that ten is one more than nine. Can
field says what everyone ought to
know: When you go up againat
the gamblers game you go up
against dead sure thing. The gam
bler's game is not game of chance"
at all. Chance has nothing to do
with it. 1t is financial robbery done
scientifically Gambler Canfleld's
frank statement viii have little ef-
feet, however. There will always
be the man who fancies he can
change nine into a bigger figure than
ten.

AWAY With the Carp.

The South Carolina legislature has
a bill before it "to provide for the
patrolling of the Savannah river
from Augusta to Savannah with
launch, SIS a month for the patrol
man and $500 for the boat, also $40
for the gasoline each year"
The Augusta Chronicle says:
"Gentlemen, you can save this ST.
$40 year by tabling the bill. It
is not the wicked people of Augusta
who are keeping the toothsome trout
and succulent Dream from your fam
ishing up-country counties. Uncle
Sans scientists did It all. They
came down here and dumped millions
Of German carp into the Savannah,
and that beastly outcast has almost
eXterminated our native game fish.
Charge it up to Washington; and if
you want to do something practical;
petition the government to bring
back the army from the Philippines
and put them to catching the carp
out Of the Savannah at a bounty of
dollar a head, the scientists to eat
all caught In this way we will OBJ
tain some sensible return for our
large military appropriation, and
will get even with these senseless
scientists. and re-establish, over
numberless fish dinners, with the
proper accomplishments, our old
timehonored entente cordiale."

More Manufac tories Needed.

You may take the dullest and most
prosaic town and erect within its
borders a busy, thriving manufactur-
ing institution, where large numbers
Of workmen are employed, and a new
life is at once impaired to the place.
The dull monotony Of the past gives
way to the sound Of the steam whis-
tie and the clangor of the shop.
The street no longer look deserted.
People move with an active restless
ness in strange contrast to the times
when no manufacturing was carried
on in their midst. The livsliest
towns that we have in this country
are those wholly devoted to manu-
featuring. The dreariest towns,
where dry-rot is visible on every
hand, are those wherein no work.
shops are to be found.
Manufacturing towns are not only
more active, but as. rule they are
prosperous, as well as being far
more enterprising and affording bet
ter social and commercial advant-
ages. The TYPICAL manufacturing
towns are to be found in New Eng
land, in fact the Connecticut river
may be said to be lined with them.
1t is invigorating to the mind, as
well as to the sight, to travel through
these towns, which justly may be
termed "bee hives Of industry" An
air of thrift and enterprise is every
where displayed. The proprietors
OF the industrial institutions, the
tradesmen, the artisons and other
citizens exhibit every outward in
dication of that contentment and
happiness which arise from prosp-
erous condition.
There is a reason for this--a So
eial as we'll as a business reason.
First, the presence of workshops and
factories in the midst of commu-
nifty is in itself a source of actlv-
ity. These institutions drawing to
them daily their scores and their
hundreds of workmen, bring life and
activity, not for a. week. or month,
but as long as they are in opera
tion. But in towns purely CONNER
cial, or in lazy, seaport towns where
the bulk of the male portion of the
is at sea, there is a too
perceptible lack of life and anima-
ton. This can be better observed
than described. But to one stand
ing in a manufacturing town at the
hour, at noon, or at night,
when the workmen are vending their
ways to and from work, there need
be little said to prove whence the
vitality Of the town arises.
