Away with bridge-if you would be
smart Whist Is now the proper caper
in Gotham, bridge being left to the
toiling bourgeoisie.
You love your bridge? To be sure
you do But can you risk your reputa-
ton by clinging to that which the
smart leaders pronounce passe?
whist-that's the thing now.
And It seems to have been the thing
for some time back East" but We
didn't know it out here by the Western
sea.
Now, however. that the proclama-
tions Of Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, Mrs.
Gerry, Mrs. Astor and other arbiters
of whats what" have penetrated into
the remote West, surely we can offer
no further extenuation or palliation for
continuing to play bridge.
Alas for the evanescence ofs human
joys!

THE POPULAR GIRL

The girl that is popular is the girl
who laughs. Not the girl that sim
pers and Fuckers or giggles, but the
girl that laughs and means 1t. The
girl that laughs can have candy and
flowers and theaters every day in the
week. Men flock about her. They
adore her. She laughs herself straight
into the hearts of beaux and admirers
and straight into all the good times
that girl can dream of. She laughs.
but she is careful when she laughs.
She laughs with her beaux, but never.
at them. She laughs at what they say
when they say it, but never afterward.
She laughs at their Jokes, but never
about them. She never laughs at any
ones blunders or misfortunes.-Kan-

LONG RIDES.
Half-Breed Went 12o Miles in Ten
 Hours at Gallop.

From the Seattle PostIntelligencer.
 You people who came here since the railroads were built have an idea that we used to have q bad time of it in get ting about Washington territory, said the Old-Timer the other day. That S where you are wrong. Distances were no greater then than they are now. True, we didn't always go so fast as you do now, but we made speed that would as- tonsf you.
 T remember one trip an old friend of mine made big cattle man from Kit titas county, afterwards the owner of considerable property in Seattle. His di- vorced wife was living here. and s-> took it into her head to go after him through the courts for non-payment of alimony. There were number reasons why he shouldn't pay, but he didn't care to stay nere and argue 1t out with the court, so getting a tip on what was do- ing, he decided to go back to the cattle in Kittitas. About o'clock one evening, accompanied by his horse wrangler who happened to be here with him, he struck out horseback for Ellenburg. The two rode all night-it was in midsummer and the full of the moon-and the next morn ing they ate breakfast in Ellensburg 11O miles away. And they diCn't think it was much of a ride at that.
 Rides? Why, 1 could talk all day about rides in those days. One of the best ever done in the territory. however, was that by a young half-breed during the Neg Perces uprising of 1877. When Joseph went out with his band one of the first things that they did was to cut the mil itary telegraph between Fort Lapwai up the Clearwater river from Lewiston and N alla Walla. Fort Lapwai wanted to send dispatches to General Howard at fhe post at Walla Walla and wanted to send them bad. At that time nearly all the Indians on the reservation had a half bred or at least one pretty good horse in his riding string. This particular young half-breed boy had an extra good one and he was selected to carry the dispatches, being a reliable and faithful fellow Well, he rode through to Walla Walla inP ten hours, a distance of 120 miles, and during the ride ne never slow ed down from a gallop. This was in mid summer, and if you ever have been in that Snake river region at this season of the year you can imagine that was some riding"

that should interest the man who needs the things that you are most vitally in terested in selling? sf
 This gentleman spoke about street car advertising. Well. as I say, we can excuse him because he does not know. He talks about the rider in 2 stretcher being impressed with an ad. If he had not mentioned any of these ads, I could have called upon you, and I don't believe even though you are advertising men that you could remember one-quarter of the signs in a street car. Men can not carry them away with them; they do not fold them up they lose them as soon as they leave the car-if they ever see them.
 But when they take their daily paper in the morning, they read something that is of interest to them. The advertise ment Is there and they have time to read it and digest it, and they have time to find out where the place is to which they can go and purchase, and they become the purchasers in one day, instead of having to ride a year in the street car in order to have an ad impressed upon their minds"

READING FACES.
Bank Official Who Made Mistake in
 Mans Character.

From the New York World.
 ''I had good shock to my vanity to- day." said an official of one of New York s biggest banks T always prided myself on my knowledge of human fa- ture, and 1 have often amused myself by studying character through that odd medium, the bank check.
 T has been a theory of mine that a mans nature and habits can usually be ascertained by careful study of his vouchers The list of persons to whom those checks are made out form pretty fair criterion (to the student of human nature) of most depositors characters
 .'Therefore, when we return written up bank books and the bunch of vouch- CTS, often amuse myself by glancing over both. When I find c man has very modest account with us and that he strains that account by big checks to jewellers, borse dealers, etc, l draw my own inferenoes, and my differences ar, usually correct.
 There was one depositor of ours i. whom I took great interest. although had never seen him. My interest aros, purely through a study of his voucher and handbook. Each week he had df. posted goodly sum with us, and eaof. week he had drawn nearly all of 1t ol,. in small or large checks, made payab , to ''The Own Land Realty company The name had solid. respectable sours- and I quickly deduced the whole story T
 Our depostor was evidently shre' I fellow. who was on the constant looko ' for bargains in real estate.
 This morning my eyes were opened Glancing over the paper I noted that Je' rome's men had raided a big downtown gambling house. The newspaper report ended by saying:
 :. The resort has been operated semi openly under the misleading name or The Own Land Realty company"
