terms. The chief end of millionaires
after they gel the few millions which
they require to make them comfortable

danger of getting over-interested in it
and forming too many of the combina-

would it do to proclaim that when a
man has played it till he has won five
hundred millions he shall keep five pet
cent of his winnings, and the rest shall
be put back iuto the general pool aud
