Cheating at Solitaire.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
Napoleon used always to cheat at cards
but he very certainly would not have
cheated himself at solitaire. Mr. Rookie
teller has played the industrial game I'M
fairly. but there has been laudatory tes-
timony by a magazine editor that he never
tricks himself at golf. When playing
alone he correctly counts the number Of
strokes it takes him to finish the play.
commentator on the French says that
a Frenchman rarely ever credits himself
with powers that he does not possess He
analyses himself impartially to find out
what he can do best and does that thing.
The Frenchman does not dissipate his
talents by trying to do something for
which he Is not talented In contrast the
same writer declares that 1t is typical Of
Americans and in lesser degree of Eng
lishmen. to wish to be doing and to try to
do something other than what one Is do

race by this Anglo Saxon admirer of the
French. The witticism about robbing one
own trunk is long lived because it hits a
racial foible-perhaps a fOib]e of man
kind.
