ducted secretly for fear of detection,
and none but gamblers, as a rule, en-
ter there; while in the parlor all have
access to the game, children are per-
mitted to watch it, young people are
invited to partake in it. It is made
attract! vc and alluring by giving priz-
es, serving refreshments, and adding
high social enjoyments. For my part,
I never could see the difference be-
tween playing for a piece of silver
molded in the shape of money and sil-
ver molded in the shape of a cup or
thimble. The principle is the same,
and whatever property changes hands
over the luck of cards, no matter how
small is the value of the prize, I I»e-
lieve it is gambling. Have you ever
thought of it? Where do all the
I>ei k,ns gamblers come from 'i They are not
taught in the gambling dens. A
'greener,' unless he is a fool, never en-
ters a gambling hell, because lie knows
that lie will be fleeced out of every-
thing he possesses in less than fifteen
minutes. He has learned somewhere
else before he sets his foot inside such
a place. When he has played in the
parlor, in the social game of the home,
and lias become proficient enough to
win prizes among his friends, the next
witli him is to seek out the gambling
room, for lie has learned and now
counts upon his efficiency to hold his
own. Tiie saloon men and gamblers
chuckle and smile when they read in
the papers of the parlor games given
by the ladies for they know that after
a while these same men will become
the patrons of their business. 1 say,
then, the parlor game is the college
where gamblers are made and educat-
ed. In the name of (rod, men, stop
this business in your homes. Burn
your decks and wash your hands."-—

The late returns of taxable valuation
for Oklahoma Territory show an in-
crease from #49,000,000 for 18i»;i to
000,000 for 1JHX). This growth is said
to lie without parallel in the history
of territorial advancement and the
revenues of the territory will be so
much increased that marked progress
will be ma.'e.
The great and much-talked about
Kiowa and Comanche country has
opened at last and the "pale face" is
now in possession of that land. 'J hose
who held lucky numbers are selecting i
and tiling upon their claims, and new I
towns are springing up like magic.
Soon these noted grazing grounds, not'
long ago the paradise of the cattle

The twentieth century thank offer-
ing commission of the Methodist
Episcopal church of America, which
has engaged to raise a fund of $20,000,-
000 as a new century gilt of Metho-
dism to the world, has decided to ex-
tend the time limit for receiving
subscriptions one year. This action
was taken on the recommendation of

scribed. It was originally planned to
complete the huge fund by December

will place the time for closing the lists
on December 31, 1!><»2. Similar action
has been taken by English Methodists,
who are also raising a new century
fund.
