didn't know exactly what she wanted.
"The chrysanthemums are very nice and

man who Is learning the business.
"No,n she said, II don't care for chrys
anthemums. They are SO coarse and Osten'
tatious They seem To be Haunting their
charms in your face SO persistently that
they lose that suggestion of gentle refine
ment which TO me is one of the sweetest
attributes of flower. "
"Mebbe you'd like some nice fresh or

worked in dry goods store and was bent
on conveying the impression that 1t was

NOT TIE WAY 1T WAS.
Things Had Not Changed Mt All Since He
Was Young.

Three young men were sitting to-
gether in the rotunda of one OF the big
hotels. They were discussing the prog
rcss of invention.

lemcmher the time when every kind of
goods was made by hand, and he isn't
very old either. It's laughable TO hear
him tell how they used to get along
Everything, it seems, was done about
the slowest and hardest way on earth.
People used 10 think that they were in
the world TO work, and it didn't make
much difference what they were at. l
tell you, boys, you don't appreciate
what it is to live in these days.
AT this juncture man with entirely
gray hair folded his paper preparatory
to departing and looked at the crowd
near him. One of them, observing him,
ventured to ask what he thought about

WHIST.
The Proper Method of Obtaining a Cor
rect STYLE of PLAY.

The Proper Method of Obtaining a Cor
rect Style of Play.
The way to get Il whist education is not
in studying the books nor in memoriz-
ing leads that have been figured out and
recorded by the schools, but in examining
and replaying hands that have occurred
in actual play. Ii man had memorized
every rule and every lead in every book,
he could never play whist unless he had
that card sense necessary 10 comprehend
and appreciate the development Of hand
in actual play. He may be able to lead
with the most unerring precision, but UNI
less the three cards which follow his on
the table teach him something which he
can remember To the close of the deal his
knowledge Of rules is in vain. He must
learn by experience that he cannot always
lead the long suit, nor the short suit, nor
the fourth best, nor must he always play
"second hand low, or" third hand high. "
The accepted or "book" whist leads are
not born so much of the experience of good
whist players as of the calculations of
mathematicans Any Atkinson, if he new
er played cards, could calculate the correct
lead from any whist hand. The "hook"
leads are necessarily correct, but they do
not and cannot insure every trick possible
to the hand. The number of tricks secured
depends entirely on the judgment of the
player, based upon the development of tho
hand And in the billions of whist hands
dealt In the past 100 years perhaps no two
Of them ever developed alike in tho play.
Certainly no whist player has ever seen
two deals alike, and the rule Of play that
applies in one hand will never apply to
the letter to any other hand. Tho opening
of whist hand is not nearly of so much
Importance as the end play. Given the best
possible play on both sides and the origi-
nal lead has small effect on the result The
changes in whist hands occur not so much
in the opening as in tho end play. IL is

house was robbed i'm n New York
town, and the burglar, being chased by
two policemen, dropped the satchel in
which he carried his kit. Along with the
tools there were several newspapers. On
looking these over, the police found that
they had one thing in common. Each of
them contained an account of some thiev-
ing exploit by Edward Bannon "a convict
who had been released from Charlestown
prison some time before.
The detectives concluded that the man
was proud of his nefarious calling and had
kept these accounts of his work. So sure
were they of this that they arrested him,
and by means of other evidence afterward
obtained secured conviction
After safe robbery in New York some
years ago the detectives noticed the print

safe. Evidently the thief had climbed upon
the safe to examine some boxea On n shelf

Generalship In the Case.
There was n look about the woman's
eye which indicated that she had asked
her husband for the last time to do what
she wanted. 1t was not an angry look. 1t
was merely an expression which showed
that ordinary means had failed and she
must try flnesse Her husband, who was
sitting on the step, looked over the top of
his paper as she passed him TO go to the
front gate.
"I'm going aftor that loaf of bread you
spoke of in n few minutes now," he said
alphabetically.
"l'm not going TO make any more re-
quests" she answered. But no did not
hear her. His face was again buried in his
newspaper.
Presently she came rushing up the walk
and exclaimed:
Zone of the neighbors saw patrol wag-
on go up the street at gallop and turn
the corner toward the grocery. There must
have been fight or something"
Without a word he grabbed his hat in
an instant and was going down the street
at a rate which made two baby carriages
turn out for fear of a collision. AS his
wife gazed after him she saw him going
around the corner so fast that the centrif-
agal force threw him over on one side.
In five or ten minutes he came back.
He handed her "a bundle and reached for
his paper, saying:
Here's that bread. AS long as | was so
near the grocery | thought l would get it
and stop your fretting about it. But l
didn't see any disturbance.
