HE ASKED A POLICEMAN.

A stranger in the city seemed very
curious last evening while out walking
in the western part of the city He
passed six or eight residences, and there
was such a noise and confusion going
on in the inside of each that he stopped
to listen but all ne could hear was the
words "One to trade, or two to trade
and it seemed that the whole city was
to be traded.
1t was impossible for him to figure
out what all the excitement was about,
so he boarded a street car and came
down town, and the first policeman he
met he asked what 'one to trade
meant. He said he had heard that eX~
preston at least 5000 times in the west
part of the city in the last hour and q
hale. and he wanted to know what il
meant.
The policeman informed him it was a
newfangled card game. which is all the
ge in Topeka now, known as Cav
tits Stock Exchange" The stranger
thanked him and said he had heard Of
the game in Denver. but had never
heard it played before. 1t is certainly

Suggestion to Enable Workers to

An employment bureau for the pur-
pose OF bringing together the worthy
who need help in cleaning their homes
and those who are willing to work for
charity or business men who win send
some Of their employees to the north side

The suggestion has grown out of the
experience of the business men who
worked on the north side Tuesday. A
number OF men spent several hours in
tramping around to find the worthy
needy and were therefore unable to ac-
complish as much as could have been
accomplished had there been a bureau
for the registration Of the names and
address of those who needed help in
cleaning their homes
