PILLSBURY'S HELPFUL CIGAR.
Chess Champion Says He Must Have
One When He Is in the Game.


Pillsbury, the chess champion of New
York. played blndfolded against six OPP
ponentS at chess, two at checkers, and at
the same time took a hard at whist the
other night. He won all the games at chess
went against him, and the second was not
finished Pillsbury was putting away at a
big cigar when L interviewed him. No
said he. Il don't find smoking interfering
with my play. Some folks say it takes the
sharp edge from ones intellect, and spells
ones memory. L havn't found il so. I've
smoked since was fourteen, and can play
better when / have cigar in my mouth
only cigar, never anything else When I
play a lot OF games at the same time i
must be keyed up TO ii, as IL were. l prac-
tice what / call self-hypnotism. It's large
ly will power. You see it's just this way.
at one of the chess boards, my mind acts
like lightning, the whole of my mental pow
erS are concentrated severely upon the one
move. For the moment, all the other chess
boards, the checkers, and the whist are en-
tirely obliterated from my mind. It's as
though / had never started playing those
other games at all. l seem 10 remember
nothing of them. i come to decision, the
move is made, and turn again TO the cards
in my hand. Quick as lightning the gan
of chess vanisheS from my mind. Now il
is nothing but whist with me. l seem never
to have mad thought for anything but the
cards. / play one. Then / move one of the
checkers. These transitions Of mind take
place so quickly that | seem To be playing
chess, checkers and whist all at once, and
to be thinking of all the games at once.
But IL Is as L explained. The only thing /

For the future the automobile holds out

all pavementS can be or asphalt Not only
will the rumbling of heavy trucks and the
clatter of hoof beats disappear. but there
will be no more tracks to cut up the streets
since electric omnibuses, carrying as many
people and moving as swiftly as the electric
cars of to-day. will take the place of street
railways Having already conquered the
rail- electricity will then have made itself
master of the highway as well. Rapid
transit for long distances being supplied
by electric trains in clean, cool, brilliantly
lighted subways, the elevated roads will be

of street cleaning and greatly improve the

Once the horseless age is in full sway
every man will have his own automobile
and the bicycle. which has to some extent
supplanted the horse, will in turn be
shelved, save for the purposes of sport.
With the universal development OF sources

streets from which the automobilst may
take his supply of power by a ncke-in- the

Philadelphia Telegraph

The English have given us a much-needed
object lesson in dealing with the brown
races, so many millions of whom we now
have on our hands. The natives of the
Island of Leyte having laid hold of two
men who spoke the same language as the
Americans, clapped them into the dirty
jail at Tacloban, despite their protests and
assertion that they were British subjects
When the news OF this outrage reached the
commander of the British cruiser Graf
ton, at Cebu. he put on all steam, landed
force OF marines on the American soil of
Leyte. and secured the release of his two
compatriots as the alternative to laying the
town of Tacloban in ashes. The Fiipinos,
after their fashion. wanted to parley, but
the commander of the Grafton was not I'm a
mood for talk. Nor did IL make any differ
ence TO him that the town which he invaded
with an armed force had been coded TO the
United States by the treaty of Paris. He
sailed TO Tacloban to release two unjustly
imprisoned British subjects-and released
them.
If We had dealt with these miserable
Filipino bandits in this summary fashion
from the start, there would have been peace
and quiet now prevailing all the way from
Babuyan TO Tawi-Tawi. But the Filipinos

the city man sat right across the aisle from
her in the station. waiting for train The
young woman was handsome, rather gaudi-
ly than tastefully dressed. and she was very
much ashamed of the old lady, who would
speak to the people about her and ask them
questions, and express the hope that they
were all doing WELL" In spite OF herself
