Want il summer all the year.
But, sayl just look about yer
See tho good things stored away
For the good tines in the winter,
An then what will yer say
Hazel nuts is in the barn loft,
Yaller pumpkins from the field
Corn cribs full of golden nubbins,
All the cider we will need;
Lots of apples in the cellar,
An the hay Is stored away
Plenty pop corn in the garrett
An the hired mans goin' to stay
Town hall turned to oproe house
Plenty dancin' just in sight
New school marin to teach the young uns'
Coin to make things look burned orisn''
Cutters lust been newly painted
Three year old's been trottin some

THE AUXILIARY FLEET.

Tho navy department. now has on its
list of vessels that would be valuable as
commerce destroyers in war time tho
names of AZ ships 32 of which are on the
Atlantic coast. six on the Pacific, and
the rest on the great lakes, varying in
speed from the high-powered American
transatlantic liners 20 the smaller ships

available for installation on such ships.
and with their carriages could be mounted
within 80 days.
During the past summer an officer OF
the navy has been at work Inspecting
ships that fly the American flag with a
view to enlisting them in this auxiliary
branch of the service which all nations
look TO In time of war as n prospective
ally to the fleets of battlesbips, cruisers
and torpedo boats that are supposedly al
ways ready for fight.
In different ports from which any pos
sibly available ships hail, INQUIRY and in
vestigation have been pursued. looking to
the strength, speed, capacity and fighting
posi- bilities as commerce destroyCrs of the
vessels. and doubtless the result will be a
considerable addition to the govern
ments list, although in an auxiliary fleet

private rooms for special matches. Several
sleeping rooms will be available for out-of town

yidrd for the players. The great prosperity this

Prof. W. NJ. Davis OF Harvard. has Of late been
Influencing foreign geographical thought prob
ably more than any other OF our specialists. He
has given n great deal of study to classifying

Here is a system which is simpler than any
which any mistakes or misunderstandings are
imBos 81. phiss. which VII IT every possible hand:
to the original lead chiefly.
IL you think there is any chance for you TO
make more than two tricks out Of any plain

two suits to Justify yon in playing for your long
your partner to stop 1t. Two courses are then
open to you. Show the suit frat. II you have the
commanding cards in It, and then lead trumps,

cannot AFFORD to lead one OF your winning cards,

that you have no hopes Of making any tricks In
tho suit but those Immediately 10 sisht. II this
because II such a suit is worth lending at all II
not risk the trump lead, as having no cards OF re.
entry, and the suit has no sequence Of winning
cards, such as A X Q. or X Y j, or Y j 10. II Is
better not 70 lead II ut oil, even II II contains
both ace and king.
II neither the high cards nor the trumps are
led lead either the top OF the worst suit In your
hand. no matter what the cards are, or select n
suit IN which you have supporting cards. The
selection must be made according to tho players
jud gme OF the possibilities of his hand. With
a Y OF trumps, J 10 0 In one suit. and o small
singleton in smother. you do not want TO invite
a force by leading the singleton; but II your
bly, be better than the ] 10 o suit
With this system your partner cannot possibly
DO deceived BY any lead you may make. II you
lead any plain.suit card below an ace or king 1t
IL certainly the top Of nothing, even IL II 10 only

out at all costs. II you lead . supporting card
you may have q good suit, but cannot afford to

There II no private conventionality about This
system, as IL Ia based on the principle that
strong hands will lie stronger with trumps out
OF the way; weak hands want TO use trumps In
ruling. and Intermediate hands help their part
ners. THE sun does not recommend the system
particularly. but II has certainly been used with
great success By several good players IN recent
compass whist matches, and makes q very In
teresttng game. Here is an example OF IL from
q recent match. Alb are partners against w.

card wins the trick, and the card under It 10
