The Legislative Committee Welcomed by
the Jonathan Club.
The legislative committee sent to
Southern California ON 8 tour of in-
spection had an hilarious time at the
Jonathan club room last night. The
members of the committee had just re-
turned from San Diego and Escondido.
In the city OF bay nclimste they looked
at the proposed site for new state
normal school and inspected Company
A, Ninth regiment, N. G. G.
They cay that this company is the
most proficient in drill of any company
that they have inspected so far.
Upon their return here last evening
they were met by q committee from the
Jonathan club, who invited them to
meet the prominent citizens OF Los An
gelss at their club rooms. The Invita-
ton was accepted. At 8 O'Clock the
committee met Mr.. RAIDER and other
city and county officials at the clu b
rooms.
After the senatorial gentlemen were
made acquainted with all the members
of the club, light refreshments were
served. Then came the fun. Yes, it
was more than fun. 1t was business.
The members of the committee talked
on all subjects. They touched upon
state division, and were given to under
stand by the mayor, Judge Holton and
others that Southern California was
pleased to remain part of the glorious
Golden state.
They praised Southern California in
most acceptable terms. Senator Ford
of Sierra was particularly happy in his
compliments to Los Angeles, while
Eugene Bert OF San Francisco recalled
old memories of pleasant times he spent,
as q boy, with the president OF the club,
Colonel Chamberlain. Both President
Cham berlsin and Secretary McGili did
their best in entertaining the visitors:
The committee consisted of the follow
ing:
T. L. Ford of Sierra, H. G. Gosford of
Napa, A. j. Pedlar Of Fresno. L. A.

WHEN TO LEAD THE QUEEN,
Interesting Suggestions Con-
corning Discarding.
Short Talks on the Game Recon-
mended Before Play.
What p. j. Tormey Of the San Francisco
Whist CInb says in the Monthly
J0urnal, "Whist."

J: The HERALD has received no official
.esponse to the whist challenge pub
lished last week, but that does not
prove that private negotiations have not
been entered into. and only time can
tell whether or not it has been accepted
or declined, and, if the former. what the
result will bs. Interest is growing in
the new whist club. and snumber of the
most earnest and skillful players among
the ladies', as we'll as the gentlemen,
have signifed their desire to see such a
club succeed and their intention of be-
coming active members.
QUEEN LEADS.
In Mrs. Kreb's concise and clear man.
nsr we are told that the queen is led
from FIVE or more in suit when it is ac-
companied by the king, or ace and
king. 1t is also led when accompanied
by jack and ten irrespective of number.
The first card led shows either the
combination or number of cards held.
II the first card shows number, the acc
ond shows the combination, and vice
versa. For instance. tho ace is led !;
YOUR first thought is, five in suit but If
it is followed by the king, you know
that the first card (ace) showed number
Give or moro, and the second card 1.-THE
king) shows com animation; that is. that
the queen is positively not held. but
that any three cards lower than the
queen are held, of which one may be
the jack.
If the ace is led, followed by the
queen, the first lead showed combinas
ton, the second, number; that is, the
hand held originally ace. queen. jack
and one other card smaller than the
ten. SO with the lead of the queen, the
first suggestion is five or more in suit,
and indicates that the. queen has with
it the king and any other two cards ex-
cept the jack.
If the queen Is followed by the ace,
there were originally five cards in the
suit. and the king and two other cards
lower than the jack still remain in the
hand, II the queen lie followed by a
ANAL card, il says the ace is not in this
hand. and by its not falling on the first
,ound on the queen, it is supposed to be
\ partners hand. Some opponents
Eill hold up the ace on queen led, when
Ehev also hold the jack, hoping the
Nader will drop to small one, which
thev will take with jack, and still hold
ace over the leaders, king.
The lead OF queen. followed in the
second round of the suit by either jack
or ten, shows the combination and
number at the same time, for If the
lack follows, it shows four, and if the
ten. five at least, possibly more.
The com binations from which the
queen is led are eight in number, as fol-
lows:
\. A., K, @. and two mors-Lead queen,
49, see.
X, O. and three or more-Lead
Hhen king.
Nl0 and two more, or X, Q. and

The Horseshoe Superstition.

The other day as wedding guests were
leaving the old South church a motor
man left his car to pick up a horseshoe.
For luck? Not at all, but because il lay
directly ON the rail ahead, and in the in
terest of passengers and possibly rolling
stock he gathered it not over tenderly
and gave it fling so that it fell almost
at the feet of three ladies, one of whom
was about to pick it up, when a practi-
cal member of the trio said Dom soil
your gloves, and never mind if there are
three nails i'll it. 1t was not you who
found it, but the motorman, and he has
flung it away, good luck and all. " The
citizen passed the spot three minutes
later, and no trace of the horseshoe was
found. Why? Because a Beacon street
girls escort captured it and carried il
off on his cane.-Boston Post.

HOW TO REMEMBER.
Advice to Those Wishing to Commit Song,
or Music to Memory.

Advice to Those Wishing to Commit Songs
Music to Memory.
Il wish you would teach me how TO
commit to memory the songs L want to
sing, said an amateur musician t. "a
friend. Il have never been able to COM
init my music to memury-at least have
never done so-and l think it would he
of use to me if l could. "
The process is not a diflicult one a"
was the reply "I.have always found il
easy to remember songs and poems by
certain rule or method that l adopted a
long time ago. Take any popular song,
The Last Rose Of Summer, for exam
pie. 1t is coed plan TO read it over and
get the sentiment of the verse, which
cOmprehends the idea of loneliness. the
fading away of beautiful things and the
lack Of sympathy in sadness. The rose j.
blooming alone. It's companions are
faded md gone. No flower or kindred
is nigh to share its pleasures or answer
to its sighs This is the groundwork-
the skeleton, so to speak-of the verse.
Impress this firmly on the mind and
famlliarize the thought with the senti-
ment. Imagine the garden with the one
rose and faded leaves all around Once
this is fixed in the memory it is com
paratively easy 20 fill in the remainder
of the words. This is one of the simplest
and sureSt way Of committing the words
of song to memory.
with most people memorizing the
air of the song is much easier, and this
is done by humming again and again,
referring to the music whenever there il
any question 1t is important to learn
an air correctly at first, for when mis-.
take Is made at the outset one is almost
certain to blunder at the same place ever
afterward. New York Ledger

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton They are
a great deal more satisfactory than
many of the comments upon the same
texts that we have read in other and
more pretentious commentaries. Mrs
Stanton's interpretative remarks are Of.

perhaps sometimes be rendered more ne

ANY changes that are contem-
plated in the conditions in the In
dian Territory should always take
into consideration the rights of
the non citizen farmers who have
leases and valuable improvements
that in some instances amount to
thousands of dollars. There seems
to be a general lack of information
on this subject by our Washington
law makers, and in view of the
almost certain fact that changes
will take place very soon, the non
citizen farmers can not get to-
gether too soon and formulate
some plan to get the much needed
information before congress in the
best form to be effective. The
Magnet suggests that the leading
farmers get together as soon as
possible and set a day and issue Il

THE Paris Advocate has adopted
the ARDMOREITE's plan of issuing
a Sunday morning edition. This
is the best method of showing su-
periority over morning contempor-
aries as it puts them to the neces-
sity of hustling for their own news
matter. By comparison, the peo-
pie soon learn that during the week
the enterprising afternoon paper
furnishes them with the news that
the morning sheet rehashes twelve
hours later, and that when Sunday
morning comes, the real test of
superiority is universally in favor
of the paper that depends all the
time on its own exertions for the
elements of merit that should be
the basis for its popularity. We
congratulate the Advocate on its
progressiveness.
