HoyIe's Games.

For more than 80 years ''Hoyle's Games
has been the standard authority through
out the world. and According to Hoyle"
has passed into a proverb. Beginning, in
the first editions. with few games, of
which whist was the chief the scope Of
the original work has been gradually en-
larged. so as 20 take in the various games
that have from time TO time come into
popular favor; but none of the editions
which have so far been offered to the
public has been complete. although many
have borne that title. and none has been
thoroughly up-to-date in the matter OF
conformity with the latest usage and
official laws.
A new and complete edition Of "Hoyle's
Games" has been brought out in a handy,
compact volume. and though it covers
practically all of the games that can be
played with cards, and indeed pretty
nearly every game there is OF chance or
science. care has been exercised rot TO
make it too much like textbook. Hoyie
is universally regarded as the authority
on all games and instead OF an elaborate
treatise on the science OF playing the va
riOus games there is clear description
OF each game with concise statement OF
the rules and penalties. No attempt is
made here at suggestions for good play.
The use of this volume is as a reference
book as to rules; it is volume which
will settle those disputes which contin-
ually arise at the card table. even among
players Of experience. The volume is
thoroughly complete. and where II is
necessary to elucidate the text illustra-
tions are used. (New York. The Mcclure

DONT'S FOR CHRISTMAS.
Suggestions for Those Planning Ap-
prODriate Gifts

From Success Magazine.
Don't leave the cost mark on presents.
Don't let money dominate your Christ
mas giving.
Don't let Christmas giving deteriorate
into a trade
Dov't embarrass yourself by giving
more than you can afford.
Don't try to pay debts or return obliga-
tions in your Christmas giving.
Don't give trashy things. Many an
attic could tel strange stories about
Christmas presents.
Don't make presents which your friends
will not know what TO do with and which
would merely cucumber the home
Don't give presents because others ex-
pect you to. Give because you love to.
If you cannot send your heart with the
gift keep the gift.
Don't decide to abstain from giving
just because you cannot afford expensive
presents The thoughtfulness of your
gift, the interest you take in those 10
whom you give are the principal things.
The intrinsic value Of your gift counts
very little.
Don't give things because they are
cheap and make a big show for the
money. AS a rule il is a dangerous thing
to pick up a lot Of all sorts of things al
bargain sales for Christmas presents. IL
you do there is always the temptation 10
make inappropriate gifts.

JAPAN NOT
Roosevelt Had No Authority to Invite
Prince Fushimi.

Observation-Disclosures in Lon
don who declare that President
Roosevelt has sighted Japan because
he failed to invite Prince Fushimi, a
relative of the emperor, to the United
States, are agitated without cause.
Prince Fushimi will visit Canada, but
he does not intend to come to the Unit
ed States, as he was here three years
ago and was entertained as the ma
tons guest.
Prince Fushimi was not invited be-
cause it is not the practice of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to invite kings, princes,
dukes and other distinguished persons
to become the guest Of the nation. He
has no authority to do SO, as invita-
tons of this kind must be extended by
congress. Princes and dukes come to
the United States without invitations,
and the only Notice the government
has of their coming is an informal and
unofficial one.

MOB after OFFICER
WANT REVENGE FOR DEATH OF
ESCAPING CONVICT.
WAS BEING HELD FOR INVESTIGATION
Suspected of Having Some knowledge
of the Holdup of the North
Coast Limited.

Butte, Mont.-Patrol Driver Charles
Jackson shot and killed Harry
Cole while the latter was attempting
to escape and an incensed mob of
5000, led by brothers of Cole, made
an Intellectual attempt to lynch De-
tective Charles McGarvey, the crowd
laboring under the impression that it
was that officer who had done the
shooting. Cole had been arrested by
McGarvey on a forgery charge and
was suspected of being one of the
two bandits who, several days ago,
held up the North Coast Limited on
the Northern Pacific at Welch's Spur,
numbering Engineer Frank Glow and
Wounding Fireman Thomas Sullivan.
Cole is a brother of George Cole, who
is now serving a 14-year sentence in
the Deer Lodge penitentiary for the
robbery of the Burlington flyer near
this city two years ago. Harry Cole
has been under surveillance of the
officers since the holdup of the North
Coast Limited, and Friday evening
was taken into custody by officers.
While he was being sweated in the
office of police, Cole, it is = stated,
definitely said hat he knew all about
the holdup of the limited and made a
dash from the room and ran down an
alley leading from the police station.
An officer started for Cole, but tripped
over the Threshold of the door and
fell. McGarvey followed and fell over
the other policeman. Patrol Driver
Jackson, seeing that Cole was about
to escape, fired and hit the fleeing
instantly. An immense crowd imme-
diately gathered and the impression
gaining ground that McGarvey had
killed an innocent drunken man, the
cry went up, Hang McGarvey." Tim
othy Cole and another brother and a
cousin of the dead man took the lead
ership of the mob and, with more than
1900 men, fastened to the county
Jail, where they thought McGarvey
was hiding. They attempted to force
their way through the line of officers
with drawn guns. Inside the Jail were
more officers armed with rifles. The
mob secured a long rope from a der
rick used in the construction of a
building nearby and the shout was
made to down the officers.
At this point Deputy Sheriff Jack
Wyman stopped the leaders of the
mob and told them that McGarvey
had left the Jail and that they we're
welcome to search the Jail. This was
done, no trace of the detective being
found.
The mob leaders declared, how
ever, they would have the life of the
slayer of Cole and if an attempt is
made to raid the city or county jails,
blood will be spilled, judging from the
temper of the officers.
