Russian Whist.

America says the Troy Times, :"
sshas already rvalled England as home
for whist 1t will be interesting to see
whether we shall also follow the example
of our transatlantic cousins in the mania
for bridge or Russian whist which is
now all the rage in London, and in many
card circles has made whist as obsolete
as Boston 1t is sort of dummy whist
Different suits of cards give different
values to the tricks. the red suits. for ex-
ample, being, more valuable than the
black. The dealer does not turn up a
trump card, but has the privilege of MAX
ing any suit he pleases trumps, or may
declare no runps which increases the
value of the tricks. This value also may
be.doubled again and again by the hold
ers OF good hands, 50 that 1t is a game of
uncertainties. The best authorities use
the American leads, which are rather
dropping out OF use In English whist.

The sun shone brightly, or 1t might
have shone, and the leaflets of spring
would have glittered as they rustled in the
calm breezes that would have sprung up
from The lake that nestled at the foot OF
the reservoir.
The trolley-car men would have gath
cred in groups under the shed at the ter
minus of the road and watched the gay
parties go by, while they consumed their
lunches, and rhe gardeners would have
rested on their hoes as the paying of the
gentle bloodhounds smote the placid at
anospflere that blew over C1ark's Spring.
But these things did not happen.
There might have been groups of rus
tics at various points of vantage along
the route, ready with tin horns and bag
pipes and with words of encoutag cement
for the runner as he sped past far in ad-
vance of the gentle savage beasts, that
might have almost flown over the ground
in pursuit of their prey.
At the appointed hour the crowd would
have surged around the runner. HE would
have carried an air OF blase sang froid,
and he would have softly whistled
They're after me, they're after me" as
he quietly and unconcernedly took off
his coat and hung it on knot hole IN
convenient fence.
But these things didn't happen.

darted off with their noses tosthe ground
"And ere the sun his beacon red,
Had kindled on Glen Verlichs head,
The deep-mouthed bloodhound's heavy
bay
Resounded up the rocky way"
But as there was no rocky way, all
would have been clear sailing and smooth
running had it taken place.
But it didn't.
All along the course the curious ours
and pet CANNES that might nave ventured
out. anxious to mix up in the excitement,
would have joined the chase, and there
would have been a motley array as the
run came to an end with an ola podrida
of terriers. spitzes, poodles. pugs, blood
hounds and plain yellow CogS IN at the
finish.
The various members OF the Hunt Club
would have been there all along the line.
Scarlet coats would have shone brightly
had the sun been at Its best, and the
famous hunters with long and notable
pedigrees would have found little trouble
in clearing all obstacles in making short
cuts across field and dell to get in ahead
of the game.
These things would have happened, had
they happened, but they didn't.
The hunted man might have been res
cued from his aerial perch and carried on
the shoulders of strong, brave men into
the Club House and there fair ladies
might have showered flowers upon him.
and he might have been the hero of the
hour, and the cynosure of eyes from all

AS A WOMAN SEES 1T
One Of the Fair Sex Gives Her Opinion
of Man Hunt.

Once upon a time there were two old
maids-how curious that the first thing
to suggest itself TO a woman in connec-
ton with .man-hunt'' should be old
maids. So much for the association of
ideas. But With these unappreciated
blessings it is d different story. They
were sitting before the fire looking into
that long vista of might-have-beens

married and you had a little girl and I

BRAUGH. THE TERROR.

pieces three or -four men for his dinner,
and for dessert had gulped down child
or two; at least, not during the last
twenty-four hours anyway.
He would have come straight on, never
taking his nose from the trail. He
would have followed it around the or
chard, in and out among the trees. and
finally would have given long yelp, as
he came to the foot of the tree in which
we had sought refuge. Then he would

would have Joined in the chorus, making
it one awful racket. "Braugh" would

Distributing Revenue Stamps.

Washington special Chicago Jour
nal; The work OF distributing the mil
lions Of internal revenue stamps over
the country is performed in two ways.
They are bought by private individuals
in $1,000 lots, to be retailed by them
at the profit OF per cent permitted by
the law. The other way is by special
stamp commissioners appointed and
paid by the revenue department.
About 300 such agents are maintained
in the principal business centers
throughout the country. Commissioner
Wilson says larger commission
should be allowed for distributing the
stamps. Banks are quite unanimous
in refusing to handle them, and the
force OF special stamp distributors has
had to be greatly increased The conf
mission at one time was per cent, and
finally 1t was cat down to l per cent.
