NATIONAL LOTTERIES
!\ -
It may not be generally
known that an American nat
ional lottery was instituted by
the Congress of 1776 and that
between that date and 1820 at
least seventy acts were passed
by Congress authorizing lotter
ies for public purposes, such as
schools, roads and other im
provements.
During the presidency of
Washington. Harvard College
supported itself in part by a
grand lottery, with capital
prizes as high as .$20,000.
Most European governments
have at some time or another
employed national lotteries as
a means of raising funds
for the public treasuries, and
municipal lotteries have been
common.
France financed the war of
the Spanish Succession by a
lottery which was not sup
pressed until 1836. England
authorized lotteries for harbor
improvements and for the fi
nancing of the Virginia Comp
any, which founded the early
settlements in America, and
raised government funds by
that means until 1824.
Religious and charitable in
stitutions were in some count
ries permitted to operate lot
teries long after the govern
ments had abolished them as

national institutions. On a
small scale such exist in Amer
ica today in the form of “raf
fles,” which do not differ in
principle from the mere pre
tentious lotteries of the past.
But during the last hundred
years the trend of sentiment j
throughout the world has been i
against lotteries, particularly in
the United States, where dras
tic legislation for their sup
pression has been enacted.
Still the gambling instinct is
perhaps as strong as ever and
finds opportunities for express
ion in many ways, ranging
from the outright methods of
the gambling table to lawful
speculation in the markets and
stock, regarding the morals of
which there is much difference
of opinion, even among the bet
ter elements of society.

Too Close
" Up
By EDGAR T. MONTFORT

Dearest nancy—i hope you
won’t be too disappointed when you
hear that I shan't be able to get back
in time lor you to take your trip this
summer. I guess I should have told
you sooner, hut the days just seem
to slip by without my knowing where
they are going. It is wonderful
up here and I am having the time of
my life. I’m chasing a man and he's
going to be here six weeks more. If
you could go on substituting at the
office for me Just that little bit longer.
I can't lose my job in case I don’t
catch him. Honey. I know you won’t
inlnd giving up your trip this once for
your devoted sister.—Ann.
When Nancy had finished reading
her letter she flung herself across the
bed and burst into uncontrollable
weeping. She buried her fluffy blond
head in the pillow and kicked her
patent leather heels in the air. Her
aunt, hearing the commotion, ran in
to investigate.
“Why, Nancy darling, what Is the
matter?" she asked, stroking the shak
ing shoulders of her niece.
“Oh Aunt Sally, Aunt Sally!” sobbed
file girl, turning over and throwing
her arms about the older woman’s
neck. "I’ll never be happy again,
never, never as long ns I live. My
own sister has gone back on me. She's
tricked me and she waited to tell me
until I'd made ail my pretty clothes,
and I spent my last penny to get the
material to make them. And what’ll
I do with them in this hole? What
difference does it make what you wear
here? How could she do it? How
could she? And I had my heart all
set. I've been planning for this trip
for over a year. How cruel she Is!
And my sister, my own sister that I
loved so. How could she do this thing
to me?"

“Read that letter and you'll see.
.Tust ns cool as a cucumber. ‘I hope
you won't he too disappointed,' ”
Nancy quoted with a sneer.
Mrs. Walton read the letter and
put it down with a sigh, her usually
placid face frowned with little worry
wrinkles. Ann was always chasing
some man, her absolute frankness
about it being the only redeeming
feature about it.
“Nancy, darling," she said after a
moment, putting her arms around the
girl again. "You're facing your first
disillusionment about human beings
and it hurts the more because it’s
someone you love and trusted who has
wronged you. It shouldn't hurt you
any more than if some outsider had
done it. Often those who are not re
lated to us prove our most loyal and
devoted friends and you mustn't let
this embitter you. Another tiling you
have to remember, there are serious
flaws in every human character, and
perhaps if you knew other girls as you
ilo Ann you would find that they had
equally serious defects. Sometimes
I think we get too close up to our
relatives and that’s what makes so
many family quarrels and splits. I
know this is hard on you, dear, and
I'm not trying to condone Ann’s ac
tion, hut if I were you I’d make the
best of the situation and try to form
new ties and interests.”
"Oh. Aunt Stilly, T wish I could, but
I’m just burning up with resentment.
It’s eating my heart out to think that
she'd do a thing like that to me. That
hurts worse than the disillusionment
—and my pretty new clothes."
Nancy’s lips quivered and the tears
began to fall afresh. “I can't see any
one. Do call up and break my date
with Ned for me tonight. It would
just kill me to have to talk to him and
In- nice and gay when my heart's dead
inside me. I.ife simply Isn't worth
living any more. I don’t ever want
to see anybody again tts long as I
live."
“Nonsense, dear. You’re going to
put on your prettiest dress and go out
and have a good time. Why. it's sum
mer and summer was made for youth.”
“Oh. help me to be brave," begged
Nancy with pathetic earnestness.
Nancy had decided not to tell Ned
about her broken heart, but she had
not been with him ten minutes before
she was crying on his shoulder and
tellinc him the whole dreadful story.

sup was so patnctic, and tovante wnpn
slip was unhappy. Ned thought with
a thrill ns he held her close.
"Oh. I'm a little devil to talk about
m.v sister that way and I guess I'm as
mean as she is, but it just slipped
out,” she said contritely after awhile,
her lashes still wet with tears.
“Nancy, you give me an idea and
the courage to—I tell you what. I
know what we can do with those
pretty clothes. I’m making a trip to

sat there by him in the moonlight that

kissed her again and again.
"For a penny I would," she laughed
after awhile, but the ring in her voice
belied the flippancy of her words, and
Ned Denton knew that Nancy really
loved him.
