then he may not. But whether he does
or doesn't the wise ones will still hunt the
gentle sucker and divorce him from his
money.
One of the funniest features about tho
whole thing is that the sucker thinks he Is
behaving like real sport when he gets
trimmed in a game where he hasn't halr
chance in a thousand years.
Another funny thing is that these profess
sional gamblers should be called gamblers.
The terms honest and crooked are often
used to make a dividing line between the
two kinds Of expert purse surgeons. Every
time one of the inside boys hears the term
honest applied to colleague he has to
place his deft fingers across his mouth to
hide a smile. There isn't such thing as
an honest professional gambler. With the
profession the different games Of chance
are not games of chance at all. Every
thing is fixed for the slaughter. The only
inconvenience is waiting 10 let the lamb so

ing pots, anteing and the like.
Many and marvellous are tho ways OF
satisfying the curious craving for gam
bling that RACES in the human breast. No
matter how old the game Is or how many
times It may have been exposed, there are
always men with restless coin who think
they can beat It, and have good money to
