cards are given to each player, one at
a time, no trump being turned and no
declaration of any kind being made by
the dealer or his partner.
The player to the left of the dealer
leads for the first trick any card he
pleaSes, and the dealers partner then
lays his thirteen cards face up on the
table and becomes the dummy for that
deal.
The original lead in tootatoo is made
more or less in the dark, of course, but
the players object is usually to estab-
lish for himself as quickly as possible
a commanding position in the suit
which will be Of the greatest advantage
to him when it shall become the trump.
Sometimes his object is to disarm the
adversary by getting out of his way
at least a round or two of the suit

the black suits before they come into

An Illustration of hand from actual
play will probab bly, make clearer than
anything else could do the manner in
which the suits interweave in the play.

PEN PICTURE OF BRAGA

The most interesting man in Portu-
gal at the present moment is the new
premier, Senior Braga, who may be
said, without exaggeration, to be the
father, not only of this revolution, but
that of Brazil, having by his teachings
as professor of history and philosophy
prepared the ground for both move
ments. He is a quiet, pleasant and ex-
tremely modest, gray-haired man of 81,
whose unassuming manners may be in
ferred from the facts that on the night
after being elected the first president
of the Portuguese republic, he returned
home as usual in the second class COM
partment to the unpretentious little
house which he occupies in the suburbs,
quietly receiving the congratulations of
his richest and humblest friends, and
deprecatingly acknowledging the fran
tic ovations of his fellow passengers.
Discussing him with a distinguished
Portuguese gentleman, who sat on the
same bench with Braga in their college
days, a newspaper correspondent re-
marked: He is quite poor man, is he
not?'
"Braga," was the reply, elves in an
intellectual atmosphere. He has no
wants, and therefore is the richest of
men. No one is better fitted to occupy
the position he now holds, for his we'll

uTAH's NATURAL WONDER

The largest natural bridge in Amer
lea, if not, indeed, in the whole world,
Is located in southwest Utah, not far
from the state boundary line, and Is
known as the George Natural Bridge"
Its total length is about 1000 feet; the
width of the roadway" is some 35 feet
while the span in the clear is about
80 feet. From the bed up to the span
is 100 feet.
At the bottom flows a small water
course that during the long, hot sum-
mer months dwindles down to a mere
rivulet. Just what produced this
work of nature has for some time
puzzled the leading scientists of the
country. 1t could scarcely have been
created by the wear of water. unless
there was a very large and swift cur
rent flowing where the little brook is
now.
The general explanation given for the
creation of this natural bridge is that
volcanic action, occurring at some dis
tant period of the worlds history, was

NEW CARD GAME
PROVES POPULAR

Velveteen gowns are all the rage this
year.
The capacities of a pack of cards
seem to be practically inexhaustible,
every year or two bringing forward
something new in the way of game.
During recent years most of the new
games have been simply changes in
method, the bidding element being the
chief feature. Bridge, pinochle and
euchre have all Joined the auction
class, while skat has been boiled down
to one form of the game instead of 10.
The only changeless game of cards
in the world seems to be cribbage. No
one can improve upon that.
But here is a game which is abso-
lutely new in principle and requires an
entirely new theory OF play. says the
New York Sun, which introduces it.
The inventor of 1t calls it Tootatoo.
which he assures his friends is very
correct French for "all trumps."
The fundamental principle of the
game is that the four suits are trumpS,
but that they come into their own one
after the other in the same order as
the rank of the suits at bridge, hearts,
diamonds, clubs and Spades. These
trump suits unfold and blossom like
the petals of flower, each retaining
its supremacy until it fades away and
dies, when it's place is Immediately
taken by the suit that is underneath.
In the beginning hearts are the only
trumps, but the moment the last heart
is played the diamonds become the
trumps. AS the last diamond disap-
pears from the board clubs jump into
first place, and any club will win any
spade, so that no spade trick is sure
until every other suit Is gone.
The game is for four players and is
