What steps should be taken to ena-
bic one who has no considerable
practical or theoretical knowledge of
the game Of whist to become a skill
ful player? This question is put to
me 50 frequently, and proper answer
to it involves such number of con-
siderations, that have decided to dis
cuss the subject at some length. But

for admission into this intellectually
exclusive coterie whether he is will

leisure hours. say one evening week,
to whist playing, and another evening
each week to reading and studying the
literature of the game, in order to ac-
complishr his ends, If the reply to
this be in the negative, then l advise
him to dismiss the whole subject
from his mind, for there is no royal

To his more intimate friends Mr.. Sheldon
is known as a great Christian worker,
practical idealist. Last summer, when the
delegates of the Christian Endeavor con-
vention came together at Detroit, Mr.
Sheldon somewhat startled that society by
asking for 81, 000000 with which to start
paper in which every piece of news editor
ial and advertisement should satisfy the
challenge of What Would Jesus Do?"
None of the delegates volunteered to sup
ply the necessary money. But Mr.. Shell
don did not give up He had already dealt
with the theory of such a venture in his
remarkable story of '.In HIS Steps," In
dramatic chapter of that story Edward
Norman, who is the editor of the Ray
mond Daily News, had taken a pledge to
do everything after the principles and
ideals of the Saviour. He comes to his Of
flee after making this resolution and finds
his assistant about to set up a three col
urnn and a half report of a prize fight. The
report is not printed, and it is expected
in every quarter that the paper must col

If there is one thing that typifies mod
ern civilization, with all its weakness and
strength, its shortcomings and its accom-
p,ishments 1t is the modern newspaper. 1t
is the spirit of the age incarnate. 1t is the
index of the century end.
So when a man comes forward and
pertinent of conducting a daily paper on
absolutely Christian principles-in fact to
edit paper as Jesus Christ, the founder
of that religion, would do he at once at
. tracts the serious attention of the thinking
world.
When the Rev Charles Sheldon of Tope-
ka, accordingly announced that such was
his intention. great deal of discussion en-
sued. 1t brought up some interesting
problems. How would Jesus edit daily
journal? What character of editorial
would the author of the sermon on the
mount sanction? How could religion and
Journalistic exigencies be made to coin
eide? Could a plan so uncompromisingly
ideal ever be realized? Would people read
a paper that was absolutely and funda-
mentally Shristian?. And last but not least,
would II pay?
If such a paper could ever be made a
success, surely Mr. Aeldon is the man to
make it such. This christian worker IS
already well known q the world as the

graphic news staff of The Capital and has

Informal games at the club SAVIOR much

as free. Your mistakes are quickly
pointed out, along with some you did

accepting as final the advice of any
but recognized experts, it would be
wise to consult some textbook on the

That your attention is directed to
the different points concerning which

can possibly be guilty Of When
charged with errors, listen quietly and
attentively, and if a true bill is found,
endeavor to avoid making the same
mistake second time. If you find
yourself in a difficult position, do not

illustrating Whist Strategy.
The following hands illustrate a ru-
dimentary principle of whist strategy
that which tells us to keep the
holder of an established suit from
obtaining the lead at all hazards when
his partner, having exhausted the
trumps, IS attempting to re-enter
him:

8, 2; hearts, queen, 8, z; clubs. jack,
5; diamonds, 9.
East-Spades, ace, a; hearts, ace, 2;
clubs, 9, s, Z, 6, 2; diamonds, ace,
queen, jack, 8.
South-Spades, 10, Z; hearts, king,
jack, 8, 6, 4 clubs, ace, king, A, 8;
diamonds, 8, 6.
West-Spades, king, 6; hearts, 10, 5,

hearts. West led.

the first place, with no knowledge OF
North's inability to assist him in the
club suit, there is certainly less reason
for such a lead now that the latter haa
declared himself weak. If South will

West should have played the queen

An excellent way to perfect yourself
in these leads without INJECTING your
mistakes on another is to deal out q
pack of cards into four hands during
some of your leisure moments, Just
as if four persons were present Then,
by taking each hand IN rotation and
deciding upon the correct lead from
each, referring from time to time, If
necessary, to your table of leads for
verification, you will soon find that
you can select the proper lead without
undue delay. The mind will gradually
begin to act mechanically in this re-
spect, and then you are prepared for
further study. Now take up success
lively the chapters on. the play of Sec
end, third and fourth hand. and on the
general strategy of the game, follow
ing out carefully all the examples
given. Subscribe to a journal which
publishes reliable whist column, and
play over the printed deals therein.
These deals are carefully selected for
publication, usually, because they illus
trate certain plays that should or
should not be made. Following out
the play of such deals and noting the
comment thereon is most valuable
practice. If you are unable to follow
the play from the printed diagram,
take pack of cards and lay out the
various hands; then play them as in
the diagram, making mental notes, as
the deal progresses, how you would
have acted had you held the cards of
each player in turn. Join a good

only devote a couple of hours a week

whist of To-day" and Fisher Ames's
practical Guide to Whist are both
sound treatises, and very much more
condensed. Whist is not a game that
may be acquired simply by playing,
or simply by studying; it must be
both played and studied. Some of the
worst whist players it has ever been

who boosted that they were natural
players, and had never read a whist
book in their lives. What nonsenset
There are no natural whist players.
Card sense one may have, and the
possession of that in any degree is of
the greatest assistance, but however
great the natural ability the finished
whist artist of to-day is manufactur-
ed product. Obtain whist book,
then, and study the American leads,
table of which will be found therein.
Without starting a discussion here as
to the respective merits of the long
and short suit games: there can be no
question but that every whist player
should first familiarize himself with
the standard long suit game of which
the American leads are the founda-
tsoa. After sufficient experience has
been had with this it will be time
