The fact that all over the State
the insidious “card partv,” where
polite gambling is done under the
guize of “prizes,” has swept into
■its whirlpool waves many other-
wise decent and respectable people,
ronderB the following article from
the City Sterling Record' particu-
larly opportune:
^ There is one kind of ignorance in
which every young njan ought to
take a pride—that is ignorance of
tard playing and gambling.
/I Gambling is one of the

curses of mankind, und card play-
ing is one of its most potent hand-
maidens.
There is no more harm in a game
©f cards than there is in a game of
*Vumble-peg, ” but when a man
learns to play cards well he knows
how to gamble.
There are many natural horn
gamblers who never bet a ruckle in
their liyes because they never learn
ed to play. On the other hand,
there are many men who play cards
well who never bet a nickle in their
lives, because they aw not gamblers
by nature.
( The same applies to drinking,
if a mail never learns to drink
liquor he will never be a drunkard.
If he never learns to play cards he
will never be a gambler, - for while
you may say he may use othel-
means to gratify his proclivities for
v There are so many excellent ways
and means of amusement which
are elevating to the minds and
morals of the youth that we fail to
see why they are not substituted for
■ards. Robbed of theif resultant
tvil, cards are a very cheap form of
amusement, with not a Single ele-
vating element in them. To illus-
trate: Go to a card party where
young men and young ladies are in-
dulging in a social game. Notice
the smart young fellow who has
been in a gambling den and learned
tc ape the ways of the “tin horn,”
and you will find that this is wheiT
he shines. Look how he Bwaggers.
Listen how he spouts low slang and
imitates the manners of a blackleg
in a low dive. While he never
heard of Hamlet or Jack Falstaff,
yet he could tell you all about the
Jack of spades or “Dooce” of
spades. He is a smart young fel-
low. He excites the muscles of
my good right leg so tha^t I have to
keep a close guard on them to keep
which pretty well expressed my
sentiments concerning them. I
could not help but reflect, how-
ever, that this same young man
spends the greater part of his time
loafing on the streets and in the
pool halls, while his sister works
day in and day out to help support
the family. I wondered why he
could not see himself in the same
light that he saw those two men.
How much .worse was it for them
to sit still and let the woman get
out of the wagon to get the hat
than it was for him to play pool
all day while his sister works from
7 o'clock in the morning to 6 in
the.-evensng for a meager salary
that he helps to consume?—Bon-
