Trick /. Some players object TO leading queen
from this combination, preferring the ton. and
keeping the queen for suits OF two cards only.
Those who use American leads lead the Ten, 80

Trick .. Zhss no suit worth leading trumps

Trick l. The trump lead may appear rather
bold, but what does A propose to do with his
trumps II not to lead themi He cannot trump
clubs or diamonds, and Is not going to lead such

of making his ono small trump on a very inn

Trick 5, As the cards lie. 1t does not matter
which suit z opens, for Is will win anything no

Trick 8. Here Is where the common sense
comes in. A has led trumps with only two in
his hand, and he has discarded two different
suits. Tho hrst discard Is his weakness; the
second 10 his reentry. and the undtscarded suit
Is his strength. As b 10 not playing for his own

others as she had opportunity. Hence the
| home circle she once filled so well with
the life, light and smiles of her peaceful
presence, she could not but leave, when
leave she must, and did, with blessed
memories of the ALLOWING, faithful and
true wife, mother, sister and friend,
which though special for both kith and
kin, "took every creature in of every
kind
Mrs. Brooks was well read up to date in
past and current history, and with mind
well stored with heartsome memories of
the infinite struggle of humanity for the
ideal good after which ''the world groan-
eth and travaileth in pain together until
now, - she felt as rather a perplexing mys-
terry, and as part of her own travail of
soul. But Notwithstanding the all-abound-
ing wickedness of the world kept her nor al
and religious nature wrought up to the
utmost tension of painful regrets and long
ings for better things to come, she could
never think of God as regarding any of his
spirit begotten, earth born children, even
the most depraved, as unworthy of his no.
tice, and of his tender love and care. Her
soul-felt interest in all that most concerns
humanity, was the pledge of her love for
every good cause that raised the burning
questions for human veal. Size was an
accomplished reader, and a lover of good
literature, much preferring the religious to
the secular. She loved to Gull and read to
her family and friends, who were ready
and attentive listeners. She was given to
hob 70, INT
from the printed pages of the latest and
best thought in which she eagerly sought
appreciative sympathy, more in the later
years of her life, and especially the last.
At times, quite recently, under special
exciting causes, her mind would act as if
by preternatural discernment of things
that could be evidenced only in the great
er activity of the Christ-spirit of her ri
pening years. In this much coveted pleas
ure she was highly favored. In addition
to the literature of her own precious faith,
kind friends have long furnished the best
Unitarian literature, and also that of
other faiths not mated with her own,
save in spirit all of which she richly en-
joyed, not for self alone but as the best
gifts of God with which to enthuse the
lives of others. With this thought her
mind seemed to take in to the full the
assurance given from all heavenly sources,
that all of love-inspired hope for humanity
must, in Gods own good time and way,
have full fruition to the honor and glory
of God in the final holiness and happiness
of all souls. This thought, and only this,
gave her quick intuitive nature the rest
fulness of Gods most beloved in Christ
the ''peace that passeth knowledge"
We deeply feel the loss of this earnest,
unpretending, consecrated life. She has
left us with the rich legacy of good
name, of long and useful life, where the
good wife, mother, sister and friend al
ways leave it,-in the hearts-in the lives,
and blessed memories of those who knew
and loved her best. How large place

nomination as clear thinker and trusty
scholar" The book is very handsomely
gotten up. and is we'll illustrated with
pictures of DR.. Ballou at different peri
DDS Of his life and of places connected
with his career. The book will also be
interesting to any Tufts College man,
for DIR. Ballou was its president during
its early years and by his wise manage
ment laid the foundation for it's after
prosperity. The volume contains 800
pages and SO illustrations. Price S2.70
