All Gamblers Dishonest"

When William Travers Jerome was
district attorney he said he had col
lected evidence to prove that every
gambling house, ven the most exclu-
sive, was stocked with appliances to
cheat patrons. One of the wisest gam
blers in New York once said:
Some time, somewhere, an honest
gambler may have llved-a gambler
who played with fair tools and was
content with his percentage. Maybe
there is an honest gambler alive today,
because there Is an exception to every
rule. l never met an honest gambler.
I never saw q gambler In my life who
wasn't always looking for Gatesey's
odds.
I'm the first place 40 man can be a
gambler who Is not instinctively a
thief. Trace back the career Of any
gambler alive and find where he start

youth he had the alternative of being
honest or being crooked. and you will
fnd that when he started on his way
he never changed"

The antarctic continent is indeed a

worse than any in which men have

would take nothing more than the
finding Of gold among those desolate
mountains to hurry a rush Of eager
treasure seekers to them. That the
gold is there is far from improbable.
