Although the police have made desper.
ate attempts to break up bicho playing
the game flourishes. There are thous-
ands of bieho houses in the city alone
A local newspaper recently conducted
strong campaign against the bicho
and after weeks of vain endeavor to
break it up the paper announced that
they would give handsome prize to
find single case of where man or
woman had played the bicho and won
consistently. The papers promised to in

ughly and publish the results.
The first story published was about
young man of prominent standing in
a big business firm. The investigation
sent him to Jail as defaulter. The
second article told of a wife who ex-
planned her supply of cash to her hus.

resulted in divorce. There was not a

Business houses often sell their wares
by the aid of the lottery. Pianos, wat.
ches, motorcycles, clothing, even houses
are sold on the "club plan" by which
the buyer pays in installments, receiv.
ing a number with the first installment
If his number comes out in the lottery
before he has completed his installments
he wins his purchase without further
payment. 1t is needless to add that
the prices are made to cover losses by
this system.
The sale of lottery tickets gives EN-.
ployment to several thousand men. There
are lottery ticket houses in every block,
often operated in conjunction with the
bieho game, and agents make a house
to house canvas crying their numbers
in the street and seeking patrons on the
street cars. The lottery ticket vender
is a picturesque figure as he strolls
up the street crying his number and the
"bicho' of its terminal. He shouts
"Twenty cantos Give thousand dollars)
twenty cantos today. My number is in
the Lion. The lion will bring YOU a
fortune today"
Perhaps as a natural result of the
moral support given the lottery by the
government all other gambling is "wide
open''. The "lid" is applied half
heartedly at infrequent intervals. The
races and pool rooms attract their quota
of players and a. a dozen or more
"elubs" in Rio. roulette. baearat. cam

that delighted Americans of the old
west are in full swing with the sky the

and none of the best things can be OBJ
tanned with it
This is the philosophy OF Miss Edith
Kitching. who lives in a hail room in

fused to accept an Inheritance OF $l0.0 900
left her by an uncle. Tho money was
made through mortgages. and Miss
Kitching believes mortgages are inn
moral.
Miss Kitching now has an income Of
but $500 year. She lives in one small
room, heated only by a small gas stove
Her bed Is nothing inore than n table of
boards, which can be leaned against the
wall. But Miss Kitching, who Is fifty
one years old, today said the idea OF
accepting the money left by her uncle
was rcpugnant.
