WHISTLES.

"Cavendish" and "MoguI' on the other side
OF the Atlantic and Work and Bum on this
side are having little tilt locking horns-in
their whist columns-regarding disputed
pointsof play. We will give some of it 10 our
readers next week.
President George E. Bates of the San Fran
cisco Whist CLUB has brought about change
in the game of straight whist among those
that prefer straight to duplicate. 1t is the
adoption Of seven points for game instead OF
the short English game of five points. By this
change better whist will be played, as every
deal is played to the finish. The other way. when
one odd trick is required TO win game and
it is made-down goes the balance OF the hand
and new deal is had. All whist students
know that short whist never leads to brilliant

A. W. Ii. Challenge Trophy.

The thirty-fourth challenge match for the A.
W. L. trophy was played on Saturday, Novem-
Der IA, IN Philadelphia, between the Hamil-
tons. the present holder and the Boston Dup
ncate OF Boston. The Hamiltons won by q
score of 26 to 16. 1t seems strange to us, way
out here in this wild and woolly West, that the
great Hamilton club of Philadelphia have only
four players that can defend the trophy. We
think 1t is for the best interest of the game not
to allow the same team to play for the trophy
more than two or three times at the most.

A Teachers Conversion.
BY ADA NJ. MELVILLE.


 "Why, yes, of course believe in tenn perance; that is not the point. What l hold is that time spent in talking it or teaching it in the class room is we'll vast ed. What good do you think it will do to tell these young people that beer and wine are not better to drink than water and milk and tea ?"
 Well, Miss Raymond, I will not argue the point with you longer. There is the law that such instruction shall be included in the regular course, and here are the text books. Of course you will do your duty"
 Certainly, Professor Sterns. l am here to obey. will do my best"
 Such was the somewhat stiff conversa- tion between the principal of city school and one of his teachers. Both were new corners to their respective positions. Pro- lessor Sterns had found that his prede- cessor, being partial to bottled ale, had been consistent worker in that he had allowed the item of scientific temperance instruction to be conspicuous by it's ab- sence from the curriculum. The teachers were now, many of them, in state of re- bellion over what they called the "fads" of Professor SteIns.

But the Gold Bug has, since my ear Hest recollection, furnished me with ma terial for bad dreams whenever I had eaten too hearty supper, or was fever ish on account of cold.
 Although but child when Poe died, l remember when the news appeared in the weekly papers, and of hearing his poems read aloud from magazines and from my mothers scrap books, and I still recall their characters, with their fiery, unquiet or vulture like eyes, the man with snow white hair and jet black whiskers, the hideous voices, the bull warks of ice looking like the walls of the universe, the skeletons always turning up in unexpected places, the murders and maelstrOms and mysteries, and the crea- lures about whom he was in doubt wheth- CT they were men or Thomas cats until he heard their voices under peculiar cir cumstances.
 ''It is deplorable that any one with such powers of imagination, and with such a gift Of expression, should never have done anything to make the world better"
 "Sit down when you get there," cried the adjutant, and let the village pastor do you up brown and the free discussion haze you. I fancy you will dream of something beside the gold bug for some time to cOme."
 "As for the s. M., he walked despond- ently away, muttering "Yes, yes, you'll be sadder and wiser mouse when we all get through pOeing at your critique.' ;
 "Yes," assented the adjutant, it will be cold day for you, it will be stark a0edthe~; but, say-I don't remember where were the voices of those creatures heard that you mentioned ?"
 And the mouse squeaked, as she made herself among the missing, "Why, don't you know, at a choir rehearsal"

 Poe is the subject for the next liter ary," said the schoolmaster, coming in from the hall after Irving had been con- sidered, land you are to take the crit ique."
 70, but I cannot" was the reply; "be- cause I am honored by being made lec- turer of grange 137 it is no reason for my voice being heard at every place and up- on every subject. Don't you remember it was distinctly understood from the start that was to be a lay member of the lit erary."
 "That can't be helped, you will have to do that critique," said the adiutant.
 "Yes," put in the s. M., Zone of the committee remarked that your being a writer of short stories" "Oh," interrupted the lecturer, pro- testingly, ''excuse me, but the short sto- ries write are no more to be compared to the ones written by Edgar Allen Poe than field mouse is to be compared to a Bengal tiger" at which comparison they both laughed and aked her to go on. Impossible" she still persisted. ''I am very much like my stories, and how could mouse deal with a monarch of the jungle?"
 "Well," said the adiutant, ''it is an old and wise saying that cat may look upon king, and our literary may have the privilege of coining one as trite: 4 mouse, eUe1o, maGy express G1o opinion ~
 "But the opinion would be of as little 1 consequence as the source from which it emanated."
 Taking that into consideration" said the $. M., ''while we discuss our bread and milk, give us the pleasure of hearing 8 mouse discuss tiger.'
 "Well, then, since you accept the com parisOn so readily, you may poe at it as much as you please Edgar Allen Poe had very ordinary mind ordinarily, but that he had a gift there is no question. What this gift is that absolutely compels some people to write out the thoughts l that come rushing like mountain stream into their minds no one can tell, although was & genins of the most cratic charac- l ter.
 1 "He was an exotic, freak there has neveg been, neither will there ever be an- other like him.
 "His mind was full of vagaries that shaped themselves into uncanny stories and remarkable poems.
 "The conditions of his life were some times hard; we call him poor Poe! H. was often i'll, he was the victim of baG habit. Some of his productions show the wanderings of fever, some the power o intoxfcants, others the. stress of an al most unbearabIe grief. '' *
 "His portraits all prove him to have had an abnormally developed brain which, when unduly stimulated, brought forth the weird, strange, hypocondrical uncanny, undesirable creatures, the like of which never existed, unless, perhaps in hades, and this mouse hopes never to go on 8 trip of investigation to prove the truth of her assertion. He had also many rare aRd-radiant fancies,' most of them taking the form of the poems dear to us 1 all for their music.
 "The hearts of those who havc loved with love that is more than love go out after Annabel Lee, and the bells, silver bells, are often ringing their melody ir our minds.

Look Forward.
BY FRANCIS GIBSON RICHARD.

Never back to the rose-hues of sunrise, Though at even the clouds be gray, Does he turn who would know the full
 meaning
 Of the busy, care-laden day. Not the dimples and smiles of our child
 hood,
 Nor the innocence dear of youth, But the wisdom and strength of the victor In the cause of eternal Truth. Show most clearly the love of the Father, Underlying all mystery, Give us hope in the night of our sorrow And comfort with prophecy. As the mighty swift current of being Hastens upward and on alway, Let us look not behind but before us For gleam of the perfect day.
