But no “reds” here are played to-night.”
And thats the way it panned.
I trudged along the track next morn,
And there I saw old farmer Thorne,
Empty his bins with care.
In that large crib, chuck full of grain,
The sight of yellow ears brought pain,
For not one “red” was there.
GAMBLING IN MINNEAPOLIS.
Minnesota is not dissimilar to other States of the Union in respect to gambling, but, unlike other Western States and territories, it has achieved an enviable reputation. This is due to two causes, the character of its population, and the nature of its resources and industries. Census statistics show that the greater proportion of the inhabitants are either of Scandinavian or New England descent, neither race of which has, at any time, shown any pronounced disposition to gamble. Possibly this may be accounted for by considerations of climate and geographical location, inducing conditions of life that inculcate lessons of rigid economy and teach the true value of money.
