Unconsciously, the thrower of I dice comes to regard all business transactions as matters of chance, and the poker enthusiast becomes the business sneak. A certain gentleman of sporting proclivities once came home with five hundred dollars, as the result of a gambling bout, ills wife entreated him to quit while he was winner and deposit the money In the hank, but he would have none of her advice. He returned to the game and came back next morn ing with a thousand more, fifteen hundred in all. Aga'e. his wife pleaded with him, in vain, for he returned on the third night with a total of four thous and. Hut on the fourth night, as luck would nave it, he lost all, including his pocket-knife, necktie and gold watch. The misfortune made him ill. He took to his bed and his broken-hearted wife summoned a physician to whom she explained the whole situation. "Madam," said the doctor, "I am sorry, 1 ran do nothing for you. 1 am a veterlnary surgeon." "That is exactly why 1 sent for you." replie 1 she, "My husband is a don key." The man who imagines that he can succeed financially by using the gam bler's methods, reminds one of the boatman condemned by .lohn llunyan. be cause he looked one way and rowed the other, lies not pulling himself in the same direction that he wants to go. Not only docs the gambling habit give a young man false ideas as to the element of Chance in business, but it makes him lazy. A man who would quit his job before he would consent to stay until nine o'clock at nigh*, to help his employer, thinks nothing of sitting up at a card table until h<.\. in the morn ing, or indeed, all night, in the vain attempt to secure money that he ought to work for. like an honest man, in the day time. A boy who will not work an extra hour for fifty cents, will spend an entire even trying to heat a gambling machine out of twenty or thirty cents, and come out loser in the end. He fools away his time until he is dismissed by his employer, and be comes eventually a chronic and constitutional loafer, Industrious only when I an opportunity presents itself to "take a chance" on something, stirred from his lethargy only by the news of a rallle or the possibility of a l it. lie bo comes so thoroughly saturated with these lazy ideas that they utterly con trol htm, like the man who ate so many oysters that he rose and fell with the j tide. COM MISSION BILL PASSED BOTH HOUSES Towns with Population from 1,000 to 10,00(1 can now Vote oil Question of Commission Government* The bill providing for a commis sion form of government for towns of be! ween 4,000 and 10,000 inhabitants, that passed the general assemblv last session and was vetoed by tho go> ernor, was passed over his objections Friday morning in the senate by a vote of 24 to it. This act had already passed the house and has been held up in the senate for consideration sine?' the first of the session. Senator Carlisle called this bill up, saying that it has been in tho senate for consideration for some time and he thought that it should be OCtdd upon. The hill was then brought to a vote. The senators balloting to over- | rule the governor were: Block, Carlisle, Christensen, Cllf- \ ton, Crossen, Bpps, Green, Alan lohn stone. Laney, Lawson. Mars. YV. I.. Mnuldln, T. J. Bauldin, McCown, Montgomery, Muckenfuss, Hainsford, Stuckey, Summers, Walker, Waller, Weston, Wharton and Young. Those who would sustain the gov ernor were: Achcrman, Appelt, Bates, Dennis, Barlo, Forrest, W. .1. Johnson. Stew art. Strait. The president of the senate an nounced that the senate sustained the governor In his objections and that the bill was killed, At this point Senator Clifton moved for a reconsideration of the vote. He said that the Rcnqtor from Chester was absen ,tbut that lie had informed him that it is absolutely necessary for the town of Chester to have a commission form of govern ment, nnd he thought that this meas ure should pass, the governor's veto to tho contrary notwithstanding. Senators Clifton, Carlisle and others had some discussion with Lieut. Gov. Smith, president of the senate, as to his ruling that tho governor's objections had been sustained. Pres ident Smith, claimed that to overrule a veto two-thirds of the members elected must so vote. Senator Car lisle read from the constitution nnd contended that two thirds of the elected members of the senate were necessary to pass on a constitutional amendment, but on the veto of the governor only two-thirds of the mem bers were necessary. Upon hearing tho arguments. Pres. Smith reversed his ruling, called Senator Clifton's motion out of order nnd announced that the act had been passed over the governor's veto nnd was now a law of the State. The act provides that towns of be tween 1,000 and 10,000 will vote on what Is known as the commission form of government. The net pro vides for a mayor and two aldermen, whose terms of oflice shall bo for four years. The election provisions, as to registration, are governed by the Youman's amendment, specifying the time that qualified electors can register.
