American Whist League Trophy Sue
cessfully Defended.

The strong four representing the New
Jersey Whist Club went to Baltimore Sat
urday night and endeavored to wrest the
American Whist League trophy from the
Baltimore Whist Club. Forty-eight boards
were played and after the struggle, it was
found that the Baitimoreans had won by
one trick, a truly remarkable result. At
one time the Baltimores led by four tricks,
but this was the longest lead obtained by
either side, the playing being of a high
order and very close. The players repre-
senting the New Jersey Whist Club were:
Otis, Cameron, Eagles and Aymar The
Baltimore team consisted of Thomas Will
lams, McCay and Herman. Beverly w
Smith, the well-known whist player and
writer, acted umpire.

Cubs challenge is due. lie Baltimore

which is but two fewer than those of the
leaders, the Boston club. By winning the
next two games the Baltimore team can
close the season in the east by scoring a tie
with the Boston players.
On the LIST of February the cup goes ac-
coring to rule, to the west. 1t must be won
twenty times to become the personal prom
erty of any team The cup has three mas
sive handles, but no team has been able to
get firm enough grip on them to retain

Health Office Precaution Against In

DR.. William C. Woodward the District
health officer, has requested the Commits
sioners to ask of Congress a special ap-
preparation OF 81 900 10 be used in protecting
the District against the introduction and
spread Of smallpox. The health officer has
also asked the Commissioners to recon-
mend an appropriation of $1,000 both ap-
preparations to be made Immediately avail
able, for preventing the spread OF scarlet
fever and diphtheria. DIR. Woodward, while
believing that there is no occasion for any
alarm on the part of the people of the
District, feels that the amounts asked for
are necessary as a matter Of precaution, in
view of the fact that there are several
eses OF smallpox I'm Alexandria and other
adjacent points. and also because scarlet
fever and diphtheria have been quite prev
alent here this season.
The Commissioners, IT is understood, will
fndorse the health officers recommended
tions. and request that the appropriations
be made.

OF THE DEFENDER

The Columbia Athletic Club bowling team
played its final three-game match in their
series with the Gentlemens Driving Park
team of Baltimore in Baltimore Saturday
night, losing two of the three games. The
teams had previously met in both Balti-
more and Washington, playing six games
in all, each club winning three. To make
the rubber fair to each side it was decided
to play the last games on neutral alleys,
the Baltimoreans winning the toss for
choice of city and selecting the Palace al
leys for the contest.
In the games Saturday night the Column
bias won only the second game, the final
total standing, therefore, four winnings for
Washington to five for Baltimore. Column
bia presented somewhat patched-up team
Desio still being out of the game. Dr.
Kicker took very kindly to the alleys, aver
aging 10 in the three games. This was
the best average for either side. The
credit for highest single score also comes to
the Washington club, Won Boeckmans 203
standing in that respect.
The Driving Parks started the first game
in a manner calculated to frighten the Co
lumbias out of the game. All Of the best
work of the Baltimoreans was done in the
first three frames, during which they Sc
cured lead impossible for the Washing
tonians to overcome. In the last seven
frames the game was evenly bowled, though
not particularly interesting as the Column
bias were hopelessly behind.

A Valentines Day of Long AGO.

The 18th of February was a wild,
stormy day. The wind howled dis
mally as 1t tore round the corner OF
the house, whirling the feathery flakes
of snow into drifting masses. Inside
the house, though, il Mrs. Browns
warm kitchen, it looked snug and coy
enough, and the three little girls bus
lily engaged at the big kitchen table
gave little heed to the weather out
side.
Carrie and Susie Hale, who lived
next door, had come in to spend the
afternoon with Nellie Brown, and they
were busy as could be, making valen-
tines, for was not tomorrow the festi-
val day of good st. Valentine, whom
all the children love? Now this was
a long time ago, when no one thought
OF such thing as buying a valentine;
indeed, / doubt If such a thing could
have been found in the village store,
with the exception of the comic sheets
which sold for a penny; no one had
ever heard of the beautiful valentines,
II D
All the children made their own val
entines to give away and every scrap
of bright-colored paper was treasured
up through the year for that purpose.
Carrie and Susie and Nellie had
quite q collection Of colored paper
spread out upon the table, besides a
few pieces Of gilt, which were highly
priced, and few choice bits of lace
paper, which the village milliner had
given Carrie one day for doing an er-
rand, and which she generously shared
with the others. They also had sheets
of white writing-paper, which they cut
into squares or hearts or rounds, and
ornaments with the bright-colored bits
in as fanciful a way as their imagina-
ton could suggest.
Tomorrow they would start for
school early, and slip them into the
desks OF the favored recipients before
schools began. They were going to
make just as many valentines as they
had paper for and they worked and
chatted busily, each little girl keeping
one valentine carefully hidden from
the others, and working upon II at in
tervais under the table, or under cover
OF newspaper, hoping the others
would not notice.
They were all through by supper
time, and Carrie and Susie were just
getting ready TO go home when Mr..
Brown came in and brought word that
they might stay all night, as II was too
stormy for them even 20 20 as far as
next door. or course, that was good
news for the little girls, and after one
OF Mrs Browns nice suppers. they had

"One time Sarah Bernhardt visited my

and she seemed pleased. AS she was

and asked me something in French
which | did not understand. Seeing
that / had failed to catch her meaning,
she looked about on the counters. then,
quick as flash, she took up volume
of one of the very best sets Of Scott
bound in tree calf, opened it at the
very center, wrote something quickly.
calmly tore out the leaf, handed it to
me, smiled and went out" The as
founded bookseller looked at the leaf
and discovered that Sarah had written
a pass for two to her performances
that evening.

Children FIFTY Years Ago.

Miss Wilkins very interesting ac-
count, in the Companion, OF the life
of little girl seventy years ago lends
interest 20 a somewhat different pic
ture, in book called Little Jane and
Me-" of school girls life in New
York city fifty years ago. This girl
was much more sophisticated thar
Miss wilkins Lydia.
In those days bodily chastisement
was, so to speak, part of the daily
food Of all children. Little Jane was
visited by small cousin called Katy,
whippings she received. 1t occurred
TO Little Jane that if Katy could be
accustomed to whipping she would not
suffer when chastised. and she per-
suaded her that It would be best for
her to be Injured to punishment by
means of a slipper. The experience
was begun, and presently Little Jane
asked
do ! hurt you, i.a;y?"
mo. not much"
We'll. I'll go little harder, then"
(slaD. slap, slap).
oh, that hurts. Don't go so hard"
We'll, but you know (slap, slap,
slap), If l don't go hard you won't get
used to Il (slop. slap. slap); and if You
once get really used to it (slap, slap.
sIap), then it won't hurt IL Aunt Eliz-
abeth whips you every day" (Slap,
slap, slap
Isn't that enough, Little Jane?"
"Oh, no, not nearly enough. Why
(slap, slap, slap), I've got to whip you
until you don't mind it at all" (slap,
slap, slap).
1T did hurt Just the same" Katy
said after the next whipping.
Children Of that age had their hero
isms, as is proved by another expert
ence OF this same girl. Aunt Ruth
prepared for the two sisters and Katy
some ice cream, which by accident was
full of salt. The children were half
inclined to cry, but Katy said:
We've got to eat every bit OF II,
or else We shall make Aunt Ruth
sorry
But We can't eat It. it's so horrid." :"
they objected; "and probably it will
make us sick"
We've got to eat it, all the same"
said Katy; "if you don't eat yours
first, shall eat mine first'-she was
the youngest-"and then / shall eat
both of yours, for it's got to be eaten"
So they screwed up their courage anc
swallowed the whole of the nauseous
mass. When Aunt Ruth came 10 taste
her share Of it, she exclaimed:
Why, children will eat anything.
