POINTS ON CARDS.
The True Language Of Whist and Its Mean
ing Made Clear.

me AFut Language OF W INST ana It's Mean
Ing Made Clear.
Enthusiast-As l understand 1t, each
card is bound TO convey some information.
As | advance in the game this Information
will become more complete. And the closer
/ watch the cards and remember them the
better game l will play.
Expert-Exactly. But don't lay too
much stress on remembering them. Sim
ply jot down in your mind everything you
can think Of about each card. Then dis
miss 1t. OF course this has to be done al
most in the %twinkling of an eye, as the
card falls on the table. but you will find
that 1t will come easy.
Enthusiast-But suppose one Of the
other players doesn't play by ruler
ESpert-Then get at his meaning the
best way you can. Whist is a Language.
The cards are its words. The rules are its
grammar. When you learn a language
you first get its vocabulary, however i'm
perfect, and then the grammar. Then
when you try to read you will constantly
come across words that you don't under,
stand. and at first they will seem strange
to you, but by and by. as you progress,
their meaning will sink into your mind
without any apparent effort on your part.
1t Is exactly so in whist. You will make
out the play of another even IL his Whit
grammar is bad, Just the same as you can
manage TO grasp the meaning of a jailbird,
although many of the words he speaks
may seem utterly foreign to you. You
simply take each card and get at its exact
meaning. Is that plaini
Enthusiast-Yes, l think l grasp the
idea. So that in your opinion, for a man
TO get at the great underlying principle Of
whist, he should take each card for a word,
find out the meaning of that word as it
comes before him, and by aid of what you
call whist grammar, which Is nothing but
whist rules, thus be enabled to read the
game.
Expert-Precisely. Now this is no easy
task, but, on the other hand there is a bright
side to it. This great concentration of the
mind is only necessary for the first few
rounds. In these you strain every fac
ulty TO divine where lay the cards
against you. Then you apply the infor-
nation gained to attain a definite result.
From your own hand, at the start, you de-
termine upon n defensive or an offensive
game. Then as each card, as it is played,
adds to your stock of Information, you can
see just how to aid your partner and to
thwart your opponents. Many things de
pend upon the value Of the Information
you receive, and the element of play is al
ways somewhat uncertain. But If whist
could be learned perfectly, even by a years
constant practice, it would not be one
tenth as interesting. The fact that each
new hand presents new problems renders
it an unfailinG fount of intellectual pleas

Astoria, Oregon, in a paper canoe. received
a hearty welcome at The Mail and Express
Office recently, upOn his return to the me
tropolis. The entire distance covered was
$3.50 miles, all OF which was traversed in
the canoe, except a comparatively few
miles, and Rappleye is said to have been
the first man to discover that a water route
exists between the two great oceans which
requires but twelve miles of carriage.
The Mail and Express offered eleven
prizes for various achievements, five of
which were won by Rappleye, netting him
1910. The first prize was 500 for covering
the largest number of miles ever made in
a canoe. The fifth prize of 500 was for
crossing the continent with the least
amount of carry" on the necessary line Of
travel. Still another prize was $50 for not
losing a days travel by illness. Mr.. Rap
pleye is a native OF Texas. He is only %
years OF age, and is engaged in newspaper
