In the Home Circle.

Reddy, Teddy and Teddy sat around
the fireplace. 1t was, indeed, the only
place where they could sit, for their
mother was preparing supper, There
used to be more house, but a snow-slide
had slid down the hill and carried away
the parlor, so that left only the kitchen,
which was the bedroom. People who
were not bears called the house cave,
and this was so low that if tall bear
stood up on his hind legs he could scratch
his head on the ceiliug. There was not
very much supper to eat-just little fat
pig from Deacon Badgers pig-pen. But
bears must live somehow.
Reddy was quiet little bear of do
nestle turn, as it is called. He would
stay around the house all day and eat
and sleep and sleep and eat without a
word of complaint, except when his
mother would accidentally spill boiling
water where he was doing. This did
annoy Reddy, but unless something like
this happened Reddy would go for
months without makinghis mother bit
of trouble.
Teddy was always ready to do what
ever the other bears did. He never
thought up things for himself but was,
as people say who are not bears, easily
influenced. He had gone by Deacon
Badgers pig-p dozens of times without
once thinking of taking even little pig.
But when Teddy told him what fun it
would be to carry off fat little pig for a
birthday party, Teddy fell into the trap
at once. He also fell into Deacon Badg-
er's trap. While the trap was pinching
his foot, Teddy vowed he would never
again be led astray. But when Deacon
Badger had let him go-he being such a
little bear and so innocent-looking-
Teddy was soon persuaded by Teddy that
the trap incident was all mistake, that
he was a brave and reckless bear Of
whom all the other bears were talking
and that he scared Deacon Badger al
most to death by getting caught in the
trap. So it was not hard to get Teddy
to steal another little pig from Deacon
Badger. This time Teddy did not gel
caught in the trap; for the deacon hat
thought of much more dreadful plar
for keeping the bears away than trap
and watched Teddy carry the squealine
little pig away. and, much more import
ant, found out where he took it. But
that is told in another story.-l William
F. Seward in the Outlook.

When your stomach begins to trouble
you, it needs help. The help it needs, is
to digest your food, and, until it gets it,
you won't have any peace. Stomach
troubled very distressing, very obstinate,
very dangerous. Many Of the most dan
gerous diseases begin with simple indi-
gestion. The reason is that indigestion
mot digestion, not-nourishmenD weak
ems the system and allows disease germs
to attack it. The antidote is Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial, strengthening, nourish-
ing, curative. 1t cures Indigestion and
renews strength and health. 1t does this
by strengthening the stomach, by help
ing it to digest your food. 1t nourishes
you. Shaker Digestive Cordial is made
of pure herbs, plants and wine, is per-
fectly harmless and will certainly cure all
genuine stomach trouble. Sold by drug
gists, price 10 cents to $1.0o per bottle.

A Roadside Tragedy.

1t was beautiful country road. The
houses along the road were only cabins
standing back from the road and almost
hidden in trees and bushes. The sun was
shining brightly and the air was cool.
Right after breakfast we started for a
long walk. After climbing the hill we
found this road, We had gone but
little way when little chipmunk ran,
not at all swiftly, across the road. He
was fat, and did not seem at all fright
ened. Suddenly black cat bounded out
of the bushes she ran after the chip
munk, and seemed in thoroughly good
humor. We never dreamed OF danger for
the pretty little chipmunk. But when
we saw pussy put her paw on the chip
hunks back and hold it down, we knew
that she was trying to kill it. We ran,
but pussy picked the chipmunk up as she
would a mouse and ran under stone
that covered the ditch. We poked at
her until she ran out, and the chipmunk
ran ieebly up the bank. Pussy saw it
and sprang after it. We ran after her;
but it was too late; she caught the
chipmunk by the throat and gave it a
little shake, and the cbipmunk was still.
How angry we were at pussy, who stood
looking at us defantly! She was not
moved by our anger, and seemed utterly
Indifferent when we called her "crue"
and "a miserable cat" Suddenly it oc-
Cured to us that perhaps pussy thought
that the chipmunk was mouse. Ifso,
had we any right to scold her?
There was a cottage high up among
the rocks, perched almost like nest on
the side of the mountain, where the fam
lily were always happy, and lived at
peace with all the world. Sad and dis
tressed, we went to them for comfort.
We did not tell them OF the tragedy on
the road for the squirrels, chipmunks,
and birds were their special friends. We
talked of the view, and the clouds, and
of books, and somebody turned her head,
and there sat two chipmunks listening
to us, with their pretty heads turned on
one side. They were not startled when
we looked at them, for they were in the
habit of coming on that piazza. They
seemed interested for time, and then
they seemed to speak to each other, tor
suddenly they ran indoors, where a BIC
fire was burning on the hearth. We
looked indoors, and there they sat as i
getting warm. Having become warm
or having satisfied their curiosity, they
Jumped on the chairs, from chairs te
table, from table to stair railing, ant
then to the pictures, as if they had dis
covered new kind Of tree. They chat
tered and laughed, it seemed, by thu
happy sounds. We forgot all about tn
little chipmunk in the road until w
walked back, and then we saw the sam
pussy. She ran in the bushes when sh
saw us. The next day we heard tina
pussy had lived all summer with famil.
who had closed their cottage and gon
away, leaving pussy homeless. So tn
reason why pussy killed the chipmunI
was because she was hungry.
The family who went away and lef
pussy homeless were to blame for tn
death of the chipmunk, not hungr
pussy .-[William F. Seward in the Out
look.

John T. Mitchell. the father of duplicate
whist in recent article on the discard in the
Times Herald Of Chicago, answers a question
that we have been asked several times OF late,
''what is the Tormey discard?" Mr.. Mitchell,
after explaining several other discards, says:
There is the Tormey discard, which was fully
explained in Whist of January, 1895. This is
@ one-card signal, the idea of which was taken
from Mexican game. The suits are consid-
cred as following each other in certain order,
as spades, hearts. clubs, diamonds, ETC., and
the discard of a card Of any suit shows strength
in the suit next following. A spade discard
means strength in hearts, heart discard
strength in clubs, club discard strength in
diamonds and diamond discard strength in
spades.
AS you cannot discard trump you have to
leave the trump suit out of the reckoning, so
that If spades were trumps the order OF the
suits would be hearts, clubs, diamonds, hearts !;
If hearts were trumps the order would be
spades, clubs, diamonds, spades, and so on.
This discard was frowned upon by Whist, but
it had its followers at the last congress, and as
1t proclaims both weakness and strength in
unequivocal terms IL is certainly entitled to
respectful consideration. P. J. Tormey OF san
Francisco, one OF the directors of the American
introduction, modestly said at the time :
whether 1t is good or bad whist play leave
it TO better judges than myself to adj1dicate." !"

TRICKS.
Score: North and South s. East and West z
Hamilton's com ments are as follows

Mr.. Hamilton's comments are as follows:
Trick L. The score-6 to iove-invited fnesse.
The game was SO tar away that it looked as
though it could be only bagged by a "long
shot," and North started out to make the
spades, and leads low. although holding ace
and five email.
Trick 2. The score would seem to justify
North in starting the trumps. Holding four,
two honors, it is I'M PROBABLE that either East
or West is calling, and If not then South must
have led from six spades. South, OF course,
passes the heart s.
Trick 5. Norths refusal to play the ace here
is the clever point to the hand. 1t is true that
it is about an even thing that the play VIII
lose the trick, but North guessed that the
queen was in Easts hand, and n there the
play of the ace would lose three tricks = If
Souih's kings did not serve as re-entry. North
is marked with the spade d, and the long
trump, and South must make his spades if he
holds up the ace.
Trick s. East leads to Vests declared suit.
