many ancient histories stories are re-
lated of persons engaged in playing
cards either as a pastime or in gam
bling. All during the various ages the
game of cards is mentioned, and the
game was evidently most popular and
played most extensively among mem
bers of the royal families and the
aristoCraCy.
Yet of the many card players of to-
day of that vast number of men who
spend night after night at card
table, there are probably very few
who know that the origin of the
pasteboards they handle with such
dizziness is hidden entirely in oh
security.
Not infrequently, too, has the game
been vigorously antagonized by Yari-
GUS reformers and the church. Even
at the present time many churches
are waging war against the popular
ity of card playing, and recently in
this city during an eyangelistic cam
paign a prominent clergyman de
nounced the game of progressive
euchre as being no better than the
games played in the gambling dives
in the slums of big city.

the massacre at Picking has been re-

unanimous expression of deepest sor-

crimes and none for government
which tolerates or does not try to pre-
vent them
The papers insist upon absolute per-
feet harmony between the powers
henceforth.
The powers will no longer quarrel"
says the Lokal AnZeiger, '.or weigh
things against each other. They will
try everything. They will risk every
man and every groat until this I'M

similar sentiments. Emperor William
