THE PLAYING or POINT eUcHRE
New system of Scoring In Progressive
and It's Advantages,

New system OF Scoring In Progressive
and Its Advantages.
Advocates Of progressive euchre re
form are now advocating q change In
the system of scoring the game. They
believe that the score should be com
puted by points and not by games, as
Is generally done now.
Point euchre, they say, is recog-
nized by euchre players as the only
fair way in which the game can be
played, as each player receives credit
for all points made at each game.
1t can be played at any progressive
euchre. either at home or in clubs.
Excitement begins with the first hand
and continues until the last hand Is
played. Many Objectionable features
of the old game are overcome in point
euchre, as fast playing is one of the
essentials Of the game.
A point euchre tally card is num-
bered from to 100. Each player has
tally card and each receives the
number of points made at the end OF
each game.
For example. in the first game at
the head table one couple make B
points, the other side points. The
cards of those having are each
punched and the other are punched
4. Winners move as in the older
game.
All other players receive punches
for the number of points they have
made, while the head table players
were making their and some play
ers at the other tables may have
made as many as 10 points.
Should the head table players al
any time score more than 5 points
they get credit for all they make ovel
5, as. for instance. if lone hands are
played to count 4, two lone hands
would make a possible 8.
The head table players should al
ways play as rapidly as possible, tt
prevent the other tables from making
high scores All rules Of euchre ap
ply to this game.
At the end of the two hours play
ing the highest number Of points made
would determine the winners o.
prizes. New YORK Sun.

with "a strong show Of Resistance"
when they sought to force a govern
ment upon the F1lipinos against their
will. And yet the prospect of resist
ance did not deter this government
and the fact that resistance Is yet
made does not appear to alter this
governments determination that 1t
will govern the Filipinos without their
consent and, II need be, at the point
Of the bayonet. Is 1t not somewhat
strange, therefore, to hear Gov. Taft
present the probability Of armed re-

Of this government to wipe out slav-

After the civil war the United States
was without an army or navy of any
formidability for generation and ii
was never more secure than during
that period. 1t was far freer from
foreign complications than it has been
since its armament on land and sea
has been greatly developed. This is a
valuable historic lesson which the
lingo shouters would obscure If they
could, not because they are at all
anxious to fight, but because the
more appropriations for military and
naval purposes the more patronage.
the more fat contracts and the more
stealings. Avarice is at the back and
bottom of the war sentiment in this
country.

have to walk back home and get some
money when another car passed in
