who also credits Y with the eight Of trumps and
plays the king to shut him out. There are some
players who seem afraid they will never take q
trick with tho best trump unless they play
1t at the wrong time. OF course A places the
queen OF trumps with b, and congratulates him

This is n fair sample OF the difficulties
that these end.game players continually find
themselves in when their adversarics do not SGT
up sign posts all along the road to guide them.
II must DO obvious to any person that A might
know nothing about. 1t. yet not q single false
card has been played by either side!
At the first glance this hand may not look very
much out OF the common; yet 1t is. IN tho
writer's opinion, one OF the most extraordinary
ever played. The score shows that Alb made
one trick only, yet there are eight in the hands,
as shown by the ovorplay. By his original lead
A loses seven tricks. because the proper opening
will mako eight, and he gets one only. BY his
play at trick 2 he loses four tricks, which might
have been saved by covering the king Of dia.
more, which might have been saved by refusing
to trump with the king. This seems to show
that rs bad plays on this hand alone collectively
lost fifteen tricksl
Here is the way the hand went when Low and

There are 800 buffaloes 10 one herd down in

Mr.. Hulin 10 "the cowboy glove drummer" Of
Texas. He went on TO say:
"Once In awhile / see II In print that the buff
falo is almost extinct and the reports always
state that the only remaining buifaloes are a few
on the Government reservation In Yellowstone
Park and a few more that are scattered IN 20.

to Goodnight and the eighty or ninety
ranch Of $4,000 acres. and 1000 acres OF that are
fenced OF as a buffalo ranch. You often hear IL
said that in a few years more there VIII not be a

true that they do not increase rapidly, when
they are penned up In parks and geological
gardens, but on GoodniGht's 1000 acre range
they Increase almost as rapidly, I expect, as they
used 70 when they ran wild over the prairies;
buffaloes a few years ago and now he has about
800, and the family Is steadily increasing. He
will not allow ono 10 be killed and he expects in
q few years 10 have = big herd OF several thou

why he shouldn't make q big thing out OF his
