cried Fred, and Lucy joined him.
Uncle Bob good-naturedly put down
his book, and looking at his watch. de-
clared he had just half-hour to devote
to his niece and nephew. ." What shall
!. be he asked. Dominoes again"
"Ch. doninoesl'' cried Lucy That last
one was lovely. Do you know another
ike that?
YES. l know another domino game

pages more OF my book. while YOU two
nlatch out the doninoes. Put them to-
gether. end TO end, just as you do when
you're really playing
WIN both children at it, it didn't
take long. and soon the long line of
doninoes reached the length OF the table,
and Lucy announced TO her uncle that
their task was done.
Uncle Bob had gone over to the bav-
window TO catch the last RAYS of after
noon light on his book. His back was
toward the children, and without turn
ing around, he said, The spots at each
end OF your long line are four and three ="
On. unclei'' cried Lucy, fairly gasping,
how could you tell? You haven
looked this way oncel'
III look now and make sure" said
Uncle Bob, laughing as he walked over
TO the table Yes, just as l said. You
see vrilled you to arrange them that way.
Now ven shuttle them up and try It
again"
Uncle Bob helped the children to turn
all The dcrninoes and shuttle them around
thoroughly. Then he went back to the

bay-window while they again matched
the line
Fred kept his eye on his uncle, and not
once did that man LOOK toward them
''All ready" called Lucy.
Bob. Your ends are two and blank"
Right you areP exclaimed Fred
This is the most wonderful game vet ="
Tell us, tell us" begged Lucy
"Oh, you ought to guess such an easy
one, said her uncle. Here, III show
you another. But this is a game l can
play with only one of you at time.
Lucy, you shall be first We won't use
all the dominocs. Let US take, say,
fifteen. Turn them black side up, or
either side up, it doesn't matter. Now.
the game is that we may each remove in
turn from the lot any number of dominoes
not exceeding three, the object being,
not to take the last one. I will begin,
and III take two"
III take three said Lucy, taking
them as she spoke.
Then I'll next take one, continued
her uncle.
And III take one"
Now, III take three. y
III take two" said Lucy, looking
doubtful
Then III take two also, said Uncle
Bob, which leaves YOU to take the last,
my dear Don't look SO chagrined, for
I'm sure Fred will fare no better
Fifteen dominoes were again placed in
a group, and Uncle Bob told Fred he
Ia
Very well, III take one" said the
boy, with a confident smile on his face.
Then I'll take one, said Uncle Bob.
IN next take three, said Fred.
And III take one, said his uncle.
Next, Fred took two, and Uncle Bob
also took two.
This left five on the table, and after
some thought, Fred took one.
Then Uncle Bob took three, leaving
the last one for his nephew.
Il thought 1 had you, said Fred rue
fully, 9 but YOU were too cute for me. Tell
US how, uncle
So, as Uncle Bob's half-hour was about
gone, he explained both games to Fred
and Lucy.
The first one was mere trick. Before
leaving the table, When Uncle BOD as
sisted in the turning and shutting of the
dominoes, he secreted one in his hand and
took it with him when he went over IN
the bay-window to read. As it was the
four-three he took, he rightly announced
that the ends Of the line were four and
three respectively. Then when he came
back to the table, apparently to verify
his guess, he assisted at the next miX-up
and shuttle, and had opportunity to
return the three-four to the lot, and take
another, which was the two-blank. The
victim of this game is not at all likely
to miss the purloined domino. as it does
not occur to him to count them. And
every time they are shuffled for new
trial, the missing one can be returned
and another taken away. Of course, 1t
should be done adroitly
In the second trick, the secret of win
ming is merely to take away such numbers
of dominoes as will finally leave five on
the table.
Then, whatever number your opponent

(Wichita Eagle.l

When it became generally known in
Wichita yesterday that Mr.. Simpson
was I'm the hospital here, and that he
was n very sick man, words of SYM
pathy were heard on every side. He
formerly lived here and the people of
Wichita became very fond of him. AS
q matter of fact he always had friends
here, and even people who opposed his
party in the bitter political battles of
the eos. when populism and republi-
canism were in deadly contest, always
entertained a secret admiration of his
brilliant natural talents. his indomita-
bile courage in supporting his convic-
tions, and the lively wit and rare good
humor that were ever such marked
features of his speeches and debates.
He drew people to him like the lode
stone draws the sympathetic metal. He
never had to speak to empty benches;
for people loved to hear him, and were
never disa appointed with the entertain
ment he gave them. With the possible
exec Dtion of the late John j. ingalls,,
Kansas never developed a public
speaker who could arouse more parti-
san enthusiasm. He was probably the
brainiest man In the populist move
ment. He was the strongest man i'm its
decline, ana was one OF the rev whose
fame had sufficient stability to survive
the downfall of the populist party
With the people of the press he was
always a prime favorite, and when the
telegraph carried the news last night
that he had come to st. Francis hospi-
tai inquiries came to the Eagle office
from all over America asking to be
kept advised of his condition.
Mr.. Simpson Is member of the va
rious Masonic bodies in Wichita, from
the Blue Lodge to the Scottish Rite
Consistory and Masons of every de-
gree I'm the city are very anxious to
know how they can serve him in his
sickness.
All memory of the bitterness of past
political campaigns has faded from
the minds Of the people of Wichita. in
the presence of the disease that has
laid Mr. Simpson low. and nothing is
now thought Of but the smiles he scat
tered. the flashes of wit that fell. like
diamond dust. from his tongue and
the general greetings he gave to every
man in every estate and condition OF
life.

RUSSIA HAS \ PROBLEM
AS DIFFICULT As THE WAU

st, Petersburg, oct. "a The rail-
road strike situation has now entered
on a highly serious phase. The move
ment is spreading rapidly to all the
railroads of the empire, and appar-
emily cannot be stopped. while in
many cities it is communicating itself

general strike in all branches of labor
which the socialists planned for the
end Of this year. is suddenly bursting
forth of its own voltfon.

NOW AT Helm OF sTATE.

st. Petersl urg, Oct 23.-Count
Witte, it now seems has definitely
come into imperial favor. and the
shrewdest observers consider it certain
that he VIII shortly be in active direc-
ton of the government as premier and
head of a responsible cabinet.
Since his return from the United
States Count Witte has boldly ranged
himself on the side of the liberals,
and has not only advocated complete
liberty OF speech, of press and of the
assembly as a corollary of the coming
douma, but has urged the extension OF
the powers of the douma along lines
demanded by the reforms, as well as
a broader franchise so as to admit OF
fuller representation from the ranks
Of labor and the cultured classes.
The emperor, to whom the count
personally outlined his views display
ed much sympathy with them, and it
is learned favored a number of minis
ters suggested by the count including
General Trepoff, assistant minister of
the interior, who now ranks as ono
Of the most broad minded of his ma
iesty's counsellors, and who is under
stood to be working harmoniously
with Count Witte.
The question of appointing a cabl-
net with responsible premier, to
! which a faction in the ministerial
ranks has been Offering stubborn op-
position i'm special conferences, is like
| ly to be decided Wednesday next
| The newly formulated statute gov
erning the right of assembly was gen
orally recognized as not being broad

and the Solsky reform commission is
now at work on a more liberal draft
| Countess Wittc Received by Empress
The reception of Countess Witte by
| the empress today is considered "A sim
gular evidence Of the emperor's deter
| mination to conhde his fortunes to the
| hands of Count Witte. No other inter-
| pretation is placed upon it in court
! circles. where the reception of the
countess created tremendous sensa-
| ton
The countess IS q Jewess of ordinary
| birth and had never before been re-
ceived at court When NJ. Wtte was
| appointed a minister I'm the nineties the
| emperor was reported to have said to
| him.
Remember you are not married"
The fixing of his wfes social status
which has been one Of Count Whites
ambitions must rank as one Of the tri-
| umphs Of his life
The decrease of the influences of the
/ Grand Dukes perhaps made it easier
| for his majesty to turn to Count Witte
The resignation of Grand Duke Nladi-
mir, the emperor's uncle, as comman-
der in chief of the military district OF
St. Petersburg however. has not YET
been accepted. In rendering his resig'
i nation the Grand Duke wrote to the
Emperor substantially as follows:
After Serving Three Generations.
II have served your grandfather
your father and yourself; but now thai
your majesty has dlsgraced my son
no longer have the heart to serve YOU
The emperor is said to favor ever
depriving the Grand Duke cyril of Tho
title Of grand duke, saying that h'
should be known simply as Monsieur
Romanoff.

Probably early next year the new
