Card Of Coincidence.

Thanks, kind sympathising
friends of the Greensboro Tele-
gram, for the following:
I'VE pour out demijohns full of
commiseration for our fair sister
city Of Charlotte. She has been
called upon to bear insult and in
jury and to drink worse than soap
suds. It has turned out that on
last Friday night member of the
board of aldermen, two of her po-
licemen, the high constable of the
township, and another man whose
official position is not given, except
that he is a bartender. went swim
ming in the pond from which the
city gets its water for drinking and
general purposes.
lit is bad enough for folks to
drink ordinary branch water in
which bull frogs, tadpoles and cells
make their residence, but when a
section of the officials Of the city
betakes itself to the pond to sport
and perform its additions, we
submit that it is time to call halt.
1t is annoying to even find a min
now or a baby mud turtle that has
been caught up in the suction and
been deposited in glass Of water
one is about to drink. But this
can be endured, and the stray indi-
vidual should be carefully returned
to the pond and cautioned to be
more careful about fooling around
the suction. But people should
not be called upon to suck their
drinking water through the teeth
for fear Of swallowing perspiring
alderman of a greasy policeman, to
say nothing Of box ankled consta
oles and unofficial citizens.

NEAREST CORRECT GUESSES on
The POPULATION OF the

The first census of the United States was taken

The result of each cen sus has been as follows

have recognized this for what It was
and put In his ace Immediately. but
he didn't.
Trick 3. BY forcing his partner. E
well conveys to him the double infor-
nation that he is strong in trumps
and that he would like to have A
show him the best trump he has by
leading them first
Trick 4. A has sufficient confidence
in his partner to feel sure that he
would not force him unless he had
some trump strength, and there being
no hope of making the clubs unless the
trumps can be exhausted leads his
remaining trumps Immediately.
Trick 7. A must fnesse the club, be-
cause even if the f1nesse loses, he is
sure to get in again, his partner being
marked with the long trump and the
trey Of clubs, which will put A into
the lead again.
This looks simple and 1t seems as if
A and B ought to make that club suit

ing bottles jumps from % to rs cents
OF the 1,220,305 American infants pull
ing away at nursing bottles to-day,
ninety per cent will use three bottles
apiece before they get through with
pap and learn to drink out Of teacups.
We may safely estimate gross sale Of
5000 900 bottles annually. We may fig
ure on a profit of 70 per cent That
is a good thing, but not good enough.
Why confine ourselves to the babies OF
the United States? We pass ON, sir
we pass on to the 622, 012 babies of Can
ada; to the 2,126, Az babies of England;
TO the ,11S,000 babies Of Germany, and
to the 100000 more infants to be
scared up in other countries of the civ
ilized world Why, sir, we shall supply
nursing bottles to 100000 infants be-
fore we are though, and that will mean
120, 700 bottles year. At a clear
profit of 70 per cent, what does this
mean-What does it mean?"

monds, nor Of his re-enItry strength In
spades, but he holds the command Of
the adversaries long suit and he would
rather have the trumps come out be-
tore he parts with it. His partner has
no clubs, and should have diamonds
and spades. II Y has anything in spades
worth calling re-entry, which his lead
of low diamond would suggest, it must
be the ace or king, SO that Y 2 practic-
ally have all the plain suits between
them. Then why not get out the
trumps? -.
Trick 5. II B stops the trump lead
and tries to clear his partners clubs
A-Bget one more trick out of it.
Trick 6. If A quits the trump at
tack and leads the clubs again so as
to get them cleared, 2 will continue
the diamonds. and unless B has the
courage to ruff with the king Of
trumps and leads the three on the long
chance that AS trump is better than
rs ALB will get seven tricks only. 1t
is curious to observe that If A passes
this trick with the confused idea OF
winning the third round of trumps in
stead of the second, ALB will get four
tricks only on the deal, ,oss of eight,
if Y leads a small spade.
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1900-02-18

Alb get five tricks only. loss Of seven.
Trick 2. Although A misses the three
of clubs on the first round he has no
confidence that his partner is signal
ling because he knows he u opposed TO
adversaries who play down and out,
either OF whom may hold the trey. He
does not believe in switching to single
tons, because he has a private under
standing with his partner that to lead a
second suit shall show re-entry in it.
Trick 3. Y knows that 2 has still an
other club, because he is playing up, so
he underplays his long suit in the hope
of getting another ruff. B starts an
other call for fear his partner did not
attach sufficient importance to the first
one. 1t IS bad enough to have to tell
your partner to lead trumps at all, but
to tell him twice in one hand is a
dreadful reflection on his intelligence.
Trick 4. 2 now finds himself in a
rather unusual position, that of being
called upon to lead trumps right up to
the player who is calling for them.
The books tell you always to force a
player who is calling for or leading
trumps; but there are exceptions, and
this deal shows that strength in trumps
is not the only reason for opposing a
trump call by a. trump lead. 2 Is not
sure of his partners strength i'll dia-

IA beginner asks you to give few
points on the management of trumps.
1t sveems to be a simple affair, and you
tell him always to lead them with five
or ms9re or when you have an establish
ed sufs with a re-entry and four trumps,
or II ysu see cross ruff that needs to
be stopped. Then you tell him not to
force his partner unless he Is strong in
trumps himself and always to lead
trumps to partners call. After this you
think you have given him a pretty good
lecture ON the subject and you go home
quito satisfied with yourself. Just out
of curiosity you take down your Whist
Tactics" from the shelf and look UP the
subject, and there you find that besides
the five or six things you mentioned to
your friend, the novice, there are thirty
three other important points in the
management of trumps, all of which
came up in the play of a twenty-eight
deal match.
A thorough understanding Of trump
tacti IS is probably the most important
thingl in whist strategy. They are the
irregular verbs of the language, and
their greatest difficulties are in the con-
ditic'nal mood. Confidence in ones
partners knowledge of sound principles
is one of the best foundations of sue
cessful play, and nothing gives one
better insight into a position than an
understanding of the trump situation.
AS an example of this, take the follow
ing deal, which was No. 26 at the
Knickerbocker Whist Club compass
game on December 5. Hearts were de-
clared trumps, A to lead ABS cards
were held by Spafford and Elwall, of
the New Yorks.
