THE KAISER WINS.

BERLIN, January 26.-The election
returns show a victory for the govern
ment by twenty seats The Socialists
will return TO the Reichstag with a
loss os eighteen members.
The main issue fought out In the
German elections was In regard to the
colonial policy OF the government, The
Kaiser was behind the government in
demanding a large vote for the main
tenance Of the German colonial posses
sions. a demand which the Socialists
vigorously opposed. Great interest CEN
tered in the result Of the election, for
had the Socialists won and carried out
their threat of refusing to vote the
colonial supplies the Kaiser had threat
ened to again dissolve the Reichstag.
This would have brought the Kaiser
and the people into direct conflict,

to make the trip over seas himself,
lis an assortment of playing cards
from various parts of the world
I'm every country the owner of the
collection visited, and he went to
good many, he picked up cards of local
manufacture, and representative of the
nation.
THE Russian cards are perhaps the
most elaborate. The faces of the kings
and queens are different in each suit,
indicating the racial elements that go
to compose the empire.
"On the Greek cards classical heroes
and heroines are represented. Nestor,
for example, is the king of hearts and
Orestes the knave Agamemnon is the
king of clubs, Hercules the jack of
spades and Mlnos and Danae the king
and queen of diamonds. The Greek
pack is rather a cheap one. an dscarce-
ly does honor to the celebrities por-
trayed
"Cadiz is a center for card manufac-
turing. The idea of the Spanish card
marker seems to be to get as much col
or on the cards as possible. The royal
robes are OF unusual magnihcence. The
clubs are big bludgeons in green and
red, and the knave OF clubs, gayly ca
parisoned on a prancing horse. reminds
you instantly of Jack the Giant Killer.
The spades are ugly little daggers, and
for hearts and diamonds there are
disks and dice cups. The cards in some
Of the Spanish packs are very thin and
have a capital spring.
"The Madeira cards come from Lis
bon. The figures are more conven-
tlonal in design than on the Spanish
The ace cards are adorned with typical
Portuguese scenes.
"A popularity of the pack bought in
Constantnople is that the ace cards,
in addition to the single spade. dia-
mond, club or heart in the center Of
each have diminutive aces at the up
per left hand and lower right hand
corners.

cidedly gloomy personages; each one
Of the face cards, by the way, carries
in small print the name and address Of
the maker There are tiny packs, an
inch and a quarter by an inch and
three-quarters in size, which can be
bought on the streets Of Naples for a
soldo. These resemble the Spanish
cards to some extent, although the
royalties are more dignihed.

A party Of boys and girls may have
good deal of fun in playing this game.
The first thing is to select one of their
number as the "Guesser," and then to
blindfold him and give him a walking
stick to serve as a wand.
The other players now form a circle
around him, and some one at the piano
strikes up the air Of some familiar
song. Then the players, holding each
others hands, begin to march or dance
around the guesser, all singing the
song.
Suddenly the piano stops, and all the
players in the circle stop singing and
stand perfectly silent and still. Then
the guesser points with his wind, and
the player at whom it points must ad-
vance and catch hold of its other end
The guesser then initiates the sound
of some bird or animal, and the player
holding the other end of the wand
must make the same sound, trying to
disguise his or her voice so as not to
be identified. The guesser may make
three trials of this kind, and if not
successful in telling who the player is,
he may touch him with the end of the
wand here and there, but the player
may crouch or stand on tiptoe to de-
ceive the guesser as to his height
If the .guesser calls the right name.
the player takes his place in the cir
Gle, and the game begins again with
the new guesser. If he fails to guess
the name. the game goes on until he
succeeds

nent attorney of Woonsocket, which

NuRSERYMEN SAY NEW
LAW KILLS THEIR BUSINESS

Sioux Falls, S. d., March 26.-Bitterl
complaints in reference to the provi-'
sions of a new law enacted by the re-
cent legislature relating to the nursery
business in the state are made by
nurserymen.
The manager Of one of tho largest
nurseries, in the state his
company will not attempt to continue
bu 0lesS under the new law. Among
other things the new law provides that
every company, individual, or firm car!
rying on a nursery business in South
Dakota must file a bond in the sum of
$4,000, and that the proprietor or head
of each nursery concern must pay q
license OF SO, with q small fee for each
agent.
The principal objection to the new
law is to that clause which provides
that when a contract is taken it must,
be specified In black and white just
where each tree, shrub, plant or vine
ordered is grown. The nurserymen de-
clare emphaticaily that it is utterly
impossible to ill this requirement.
1t is charged by some of the nursery
men that the new law was enacted in
the interest of nurseries located in 9TH
er states which do business in South
Dakota by means Of catalogues, and
which, because they do not sell ''by
agent" are not affected by the provi-
sions of the new law.
