Always Much That Is New and Good Opportunities to Savi

Every Night the Spiders Spun
Their Fine Webs
on the second-story railings of the bridge going
over from the hotel to the springs, and the little
creeping bugs and flying flics were sure to, be
entangled among the silver threads that looked
so harmless, as was evident as we watched the
small feet of the little creatures that were
caught, and their efforts to extricate themselves;
and invariably found it easier to get farther in
than to get out. To get into that web was certain
ruin.
So it is with many of the business traps of
speculation, promotion schemes and gambling
tables that are set in many blocks of the city,
where young men, by staking their little savings,
are sure to lose when the fatal ball rolls them out.
Somehow, the loser becomes spellbound until
he is penniless. v
The venture of a ten-cent piece on Satan's
table leads On to the last fatal plunge that takes
from him his watch and chain, the gift of his
dear mother to her boy.
If we never plunge into a gambler's den, we
cannot drown in its hidden streams.
