RULES OF WHIST.
A Beanfed Philosopher Sets the
Theme to Meter.

Owing to the fact that whist part
les seem to be gaining in interest and
large club has recently been or
ganized at Neihart to practice the
royal game, it will not be amiss to
publish a few rules which have late
ly come to light, the product of gen
ius nurtured in the astute atmosphere
of Boston. The author evidently un-
derstands the philosophy of the
game.
If you the modern game of whist would
know,
From this great principle its precepts
flow:
Treat your own hand as to your part
ner's Joined,
And play, not one alone, but both com
bined.
Your first lead makes your partner un-
derstand
What is the chief component of your
hand;
And hence there is necessity the stlonest
That your first lead be from your suit
that's longest
In this, with ace and king, lead king,
then ace;
With king and queen, king also has first
place;
With ace, queen, knave, lead ace, then
the queen;
With ace, four small ones. ace should
first be seen;
With queen, knave, ten, you let the
queen precede;
In other cases you the lowest lead.
Ere you return yonr friends, your own
suit play;
But trumps you must return without de-
lay.
When you return yonr partners lead,
take pains
To lead him back the best your hand
contains,
T. you received not more than three at
first;
If you had more, you may return the
worst,
But if you hold the master card you're
bound
In most cases to play it second round.
Whichever you want, It's seldom wrong
To lead up to the weak, or through the
strong.
If second hand, your lowest should be
played,
Unless you mean "trump signal" to be
made;
Or if you have king, queen, or ace and
king,
Then one of these will be the proper thing.
Mind we'll the rules for trumps, you'll
often need them;
When you hold five, tits always right to
lead them;
Or if the lead won't come in time to you,
Then signal to your partner what to do.
Watch also for your partners trump re-
quest.
To which, with less than four, lead out
your best.
To lead through hGnors turned up is bad
play,
Unless you want the trump suit cleared
away.
When second haud doubtful trick you
see,
Don't trump it if you hold more trumps
than three;
But having three or less, trump fearlessly.
When weak in trumps yourself, don't
force your friend.
But always force the adverse strong
trump hand.
For sequences, stern custom has decreed
The lowest you must play, if you don't
lead.
When you discard, weak suits you ought
to choose,
For strong ones are too valuable to lose
