The chief advantage which the Four knights
game gives the student of chess is in the way.
It initiates him into the corelations Of the
several king knight openings. It shows how.
Piano, Scotch, Petrof.TTwo knights Defense,
in many of their variations and INV by trans
position of moves the same position may,
occur through any OF Them as $an opening.
The Four Knights in this manner becomes a.
link between al of the openings cited and
may develop into any of them OF. arise out OF
any of them. Steinitz pronounces the ability
to thus classify and recognize positions thus
growing out of a variety of openings is the
acquired by the student OF chess and. is one
of chief benefits derived from the, modern
scientific system Of chess analysis. From this
point OF view, the Four Knights game has
great educational value.
j A good idea of the standing Of the Four
knights in modernstourney play is found in
the Hastings tournament of 1896. The Four
knights was played thirteen times, being next
in number after the Queens, Ruy Lopez,
games, White won twice only; and in one
Of these cases by the accident of Tarrasch's
time expiring when he, as second player had
the better position. Black won four times,
and the other seven were drawn. In four OF
the thirteen, the continuation was the Double
Ruy, with two victories for Black, one for
White and one draw. In two, the continue
ton was Ruy Lopez both draws In tye,
the game turned into Guioco Piano, with two
wins for Black, two draws and one victory
for White by time expiration. The other two
were Two knights defenses and draws
Schlechter and Schiners played white in four
games with Ruy Lopez combinations. Ma
son and Albin played white in eight games,
usually with Guioco variations.

A protest against Russian aggression
bearing the signatures Of 100000 Finnish
men and women-more than one fifth Of
the total population-has been sent to the
czar, who failed to pay any attention to
It. The ministers in many parishes have
refused to proclaim the new CONSUMPTION
law from their pupils on account Of its
unconstitutionality, and in other parishes
the reading Of the law has been inter-
rupted by the congregations.
A scene characteristic of the tactics Of
the Russian government as we'll as Of the
temper of the people occurred in a
country church a few Sundays ago. The
regular parish minister, having refused
to read the obnoxious law, although know
ing that his refusal exposed him to dis
missal and punishment, the authorities
prevailed on another and less scrupulous
clergyman to do the reading.
The moment the stranger appeared in
the pulpit, a venerable old member OF the
congregation arose.
I'VE will not listen to anything that is
illegal" he announced. : That act has
been. passed in violation Of the law of the
land"
The whole congregation then arose in a
body and marched out singing Luther

THE SKI-RUNNER

Ere yet the mornings golden bars
Have put to fight the paling stars.
Rap-rap along the frozen way
Goes the ski runner, brisk and gay.
He leaves the hard bound track below,
And seeks the rolling fields of snow.
There whore the valley opens down
Upon the quain-set wooden town.
Up where the velvet pine trees stand,
And clothe with green frozen land,
He tracks the elk, and in his lair
Awakes to life, the slumbering bear.
Up leaps the sun with glad surprise,
And under his o'ermastering eyes
The snowy bosom warns and CLOVIS
And melts into food Of rose.
Frost diamonds glitter In the rays Sss
And thro' a falling golden haze
The runner passes to the bright,
Glad, herald burst Of morning light
What recks he that he bold intrudes
Upon the Frost Kings solitudes?
Scales the unbroken slopes, and rides
Triumphant down the mountain sides?
Long burrows clean the good ski make,
AS down their wild, mad course they take;
To right, to left, grim boulders lift
Their cold, gray noses through the drift.
The forest mazes in and out.
This way and that they twist about;
They whistle shrill, the trees divide, ..
And down the long, white lanes they glide.
Below the twinkling lights appear,
The lights of home the Wanderer steer,
And far athwart the. northern sky
Arc flung the wizard searchlights high
The red wood fire. the wholesome fare,
The hard, clean life, the kindling air
Are his, and blithe the Norseman sings
The glorfes of his wooden wings.

KING OSCARS HABITS
ssThe Real Oscar IL" as Described ~
Danish Journal1st. -

King Oscar Of Sweden Is popularity sup
posed to combine his undisputed virtues
as monarch with some personal weak
nasses. SAYS the New York Sun. only
few years ago a Danish Journalist i've
Rode published an article about the real
Oscar H." In which he pictured the o3o
king as q very merry monarch who nearly
killed his channb erlains by making them
drink cognac with him night after night
till and 5 o'clock in the morning, anu
who then sought the aid Of morphine IN
order to procure a few hours sleep lot
himself.
The story was never denied officially
and the well-known fact that the king
is fond Of late hours, although a very
early riser, helped various people to be-
lievo it. An entirely different version OF
the kings character and habits was given
the other day, however, by man who 1or
many years has been the intimate friend
Of his sovereign.
General Sven Lagerberg, the Oldest off,
Ger In the Swedish army and a man known
beyond the limits of his own country for
his frankness bordering on rldeness, his
biting wit and his frugality. celebrated
his eightieth birthday not long ago and
was on that occasion interviewed by rep
resen tatives Of the Swedish press.
General Sven, as he Is called Familiarity
all over the land, used the opportunity to
speak his mind about the ISLANDERS ut
tered concerning his royal friend. This
is what he had to say about the habits OF
the King
''King Oscar is very temperate as a
fact, although there are lot of people
who talk nonsense about him. He never
tastes branvin LITERALLY, burnt wine; the
Swedish equivalent for whisky], and he
is no friend of brandy or other strong
drinks. What he likes Is a small glass
Of sherry with his breakfast and bottle
Of beer.
''At dinner he drinks champagne, and
claret mixed with plenty of water. AS
far as the food itself is concerned he,
like all the other members of the royal
family, likes neither fish nor fowl
! Like his late brother and predecessor,
Charles XIV, the king is fond of simple
food. and he is delighted when, once in a
while, he is able to get a taste of the
plain dishes prepared by an ordinary
housewife =

gleton king of spades is not good whist, but
it worked here very nicely, as North tries the
coup and calls his ace.
Trick 4.-South here plays very poor whist;
his only play from the hand is the trump, for,
from the: way the hand has been played, it
looks as though neither East nor West had
any trump strength, and West has certainly
invited ruff.
Trick 5,-West evidently suspected hold
up in the spade. He probably thought that
it was strange that East had not made q
forced lead in trumps if he had honors in
both the other suits, and reasoned from that
basis that he did not have the ace.
