Mother Goose on Bridge


In the picturesque town of Skaneat-
eies, New York, where all the young
ladies have red hair (Auburn is very
near, lives a Titian-haired poetess
who has the divine afflatus well de-
veloped. Her name is, or was, Mabel
Allen-Avery, for poetesses have a
habit of marrying, and instead of
singing of love, moonshine and beauti-
full souls with auras, she dreamed Upon
the bridge at midnight, not Longfel-
lows bridge, and then wrote book
in verse called Mother Goose on
Bridge" Well, many a goose has
played bridge and been plucked, and
the title is most appropriate. Miss
Allen-Avery does not seek to emulate
ella Wheeler Wilcox, or any of the
poets who twang the Tyre in a lachry-
NOSE vein, but on an easy pacing
Pegasus she canters along,
And tells of honors, slams and tricks
In breezy rhymes and limericks
Instead of dedicating her little vol
ume to the great unplucked, / mean
the cheerful losers, this young poetess
scars above the sordid gaming table
and in light, delightful Andrew
Lang style chooses Dan Cupid to wear
the laurels:
To him, the merry God of Love.
Dan Cupid, erst of fame,
/ dedicate this little book
And call upo nhis
To guard as when temptation comes
Our hands, fates, to blame;
To fill our hearts with mirth and love,
However goes the game.
The clever parody, "These Are the
Hands That Jack Dealt" also deserves
mention.
But airy persiflage aside, Miss Allen
Avery has written unique book and
one that should please every player of
bridge. l use the term BRIDGE" be-
cause it at once stamps me as vet
eran player, and not a beginner who
says bridge whist" The amateur
bridge player can soon know all about
the game by reading these Mother
Goose rhymes, and can talk about lit
tie" and grand slams" and mo
trumps" in a careless, debonair, pro-
fessional way that may attract atten-
ton. The little book is most artistic
in appearance, and four geese on the
title page hold around their necks the
four cards-a club, diamond, spade and
heart EveCy whist lover should read
the book, laugh, and forget every cent
he or she ever lost at bridge.

REFUSES TO LET TRUSTEE

New Jersey Girl with Small Legacy
Reserves Right to Marry Her
Own Choice

PATERSON. N. j., Oct. 1O.-Asserting
her right to marry whom and when
she pleases, Miss Mary Wollenberg has
applied to the court of chancery for
aid. The girl, who is just over the le-
gal age. was bequeathed $1,000 on the
death of her mother, years ago. 1t is
this money she seeks to recover from
her brother-in-law, Abraham L. Simon,
who, as trustee, withholds payment un-
til the time, he maintains, Miss Wollen-
berg is married to a husband who is
not a spendthrift and who will not
squander his wife's money.
Miss Wollenberg does not propose to
have Mr.. Simon dictate to her as to
the man she should elect to marry. She
thinks she is capable of making her
own selection. "And If want to mar
ry," she said, "why, that is question

permit others to NEEDLE with their
affairs In this direction. The step into
matrimony is a most serious one, and
if girls would only assert their rights
for once and sit down hard on these
schatchens, or matchmakers, the world
would be better off and there would
be fewer divorces and trouble in this
land"

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 10.-By
the arrest of Trofilo Robes, full
blood Indian, suspected of having
stolen the money with which he pur-
chased a revolver to join in the hunt
for Willie Boy, a vengeful tribesman
was robbed of the opportunity to kill
the fugitive murderer.
Anxious to seek out and slay the
murderer who has brought disgrace
on his race, Robles had purchased the
largest Colts siX-shooter in the city
when the suspicious of the police We're
aroused, following the complaint or
two young Indians that while they
slept $40 had been taken from their
clothing. Robes was a member or
the party and is now detained by the
police until an investigation can be
made. He denied all knowledge OF
the theft but later confessed that he
had secreted the revolver in the brush,
and it is possible that the remainder
of the stolen money is also hid, it not
being found on his person.

ELEPHANT WEEPS BUCKET

Big Pachyderm Shows Joy at He-
turn of Former Keeper
to Zoo

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Poor old
Gunda, the big elephant of the Bronx
zoo, has been terribly sad for three
weeks because Walter Truman. his
friend and keeper, has been on va
cation. Gunda can't bear to see any
other keepers around and tries in his
quaint, humorous way to kill them.
So when Truman went on his vaca-
tion Gunda was put on the chain gang
and a light diet. All his feet were
chained down.
Keeper Truman came back yester-
day and he straightway took the
chains off Gunda's pretty little feet
and gave him a good, old-fashioned
square meal. Gunda was so touched
that the tears of gratitude ran down
his trunk and made holes in the ce-
ment floor. He promised in jungle
language to be a good boy and never
try to kill a keeper again unless he
happened to feel annoyed.

attract the interested attention of the
