There are only three things yon don't gamble for your room, clothes and food. Kverything else connected vlth life Is gambling. You seek employment; you gamble for a better place. You go to an Insurance company and have yeur property insured against fire. Well, don't you gamble there? Don't you bet the company that yon may have a fire, and they bet you you may not? Your premium is the odds you get. You have your life Insured; you enter into a gamble with the insurance company. You Invest your money; you gamble there again, and so on all along the line.
