NEW GAME OF CARDS.

1t Is Claimed That Walsedi" VIII sups
plant Whist and Poker.
"Waleedi" is the name of new game
OF cards that has caused such a futter
In society. From the Juror that has
followed its introduction into the
charmed circle, it would seem that
whist is to be pushed into the back.
ground to give place to the new game.
The fair votaries of fashion, usually
prone to shun card playing, have
yielded to its destinations and IVA
leedi" has received a boom that will
tend to make it one Of the most popular
of card games.
At present, poker, eucher and whist
have lost ground among the mon in
favor of the new game. In it's terms
and the names OF the points to be made,
waleedi carries with it Bret Harts
suggestion. "reminiscences of mining
camps, wild, romantic scenery and of
the rush for wealth during the gold
fever fit through the mind as vein, :"
pocket" and chimney" are called dur
ing the game. Waleedi itself is the
name of mine in silvery Colorado. A
peculiar dispute in connection with this
mine led to its invention. The mine
was owned by two men, one of whom
wanted to work ore wherever it was rich
enough to pay, and the other to develop
a chimney" he was confident would be
found in the ledge some considerable
distance on. A compromise was effected
by an agreement by which they were to
share expenses equally and to divide
receipts from the ore taken from the
tunnel. The former was to have the
privilege to work all veins at his own
expense, and to have all receipts from
them, but in case a chimney" was
struck he was to grant his partner the
privilege to work it and enjoy the
profits. By playing the game it can
easily be seen which man made his fort
une first
The game is played similarly to whist.
There are four players, those opposite
being partners. The entire deck is
dealt, one card at time, and the last
card turned up for trump. The ace is
the highest card of a suit and every
player is compelled to follow suit If he
