The Game 'Slopped
A great many methods have been adopt
ed for the purpose of putting an end to the
practice of gambling-=-a practice universally
looked upon with horror in most civilized
communities. Gamblers, however, from
• the French women, who garnble in stocks
" l on.'Change, down to the prudent' Yankee
who ventures to pray " pin•on the hat," to
a certain' extent will flourish everywhere.
Some gamble for fun; some for exciternent,!
some for gain. There are more ways of
