More Supplies Than . . Needed for Charity With the moderation of the weather, ami also bwinn te the fact that a couple of daya will be required to clean up the church for the regular Sabbath services, the women of th First Congregational ' t hurch dosed the budding- last ven!ng at 7 o'clock and ceased for the present Ulspenstoc free food to th many appli cants who thronged there.

Chicago gamb lers who testified that sH but ten started their career at the private card table In horns and parlors. He declared that cards were the first snd last tools of the gamblers aa effec tive a th moot perfect tool of any safe blower or crook. There Is a cyclone of gambling spirit today Mr. Hart said. The gaming spirit baa produced the gambling life, with the results, defalcations, forgeries, graft, de serted children and wrecked homos, lie member no single game of cards can. be separated from the evil that cornea from the association of cards. Th husband bets on the ponies at the races, tha wlf la shocked, but she toga up snd spend halt the night at a fierce game of whist. At the stakes there were silver coins, at the parlor game wee a silver creamer. but In the sight of God sad In that of tbs law they are both gamblers. Mr. Hart put great stress upon the folly snd Inconsistency of the argument of bringing th cards into the home to keep the children tram the dive.
