She Joined a Gard Club In Order to
Forget Her Work.
An Atchison woman who found the
monotony Of dishwashing, cooking and
laundry work proving too much for
sanity was urged to join a card club.
SIT will take your mind off your
work." she was told, and SO she Joined.
In order to attend she had to get up
that morning an hour earlier to get
her work done; q neighbor girl was
hired to stay with the baby, and when,
fustered, nervous and tired, she left
The house fifteen minutes late she was
followed by the screams of her three
children because they couldn't be
taken along. But she had her mind
taken of her work at the card party.
OF that there is no doubt, for when
she made a misplay her partner, a
perfect lady, walked right over her.
then picked her up and shook her. and
then chewed on her for fifteen min
utes. She became SO frightened that
the little wits she had under her hair
fed, and she made another misplay
with another partner, and this woman,
also a perfect lady, talked to her In a
way the woman should have been
ashamed to talk to a dog. 1t was more
than she could endure, and, weeping
like a sprinkling cart, she got up and
went home.

Popularity of baseball in New

city wants to know what has so sud
denly happened. One county seat
paper devoted three columns to a
story on the subject and a[likeness

The story begins. what ails the
team and what is the matter with
baseball in this city," A little fur

mors to the effect that less expen-
sive team. may replace D~riscoll's
bunch.
Reasons for the decline of base
bali interest are obvious. What
community could survive very long
under the reign of a gang suhc as
Driscoll and his men? The team
was let go early this season because
of the outrageous price 1t demand

A REVOLUTIONARY PUZZLE

These odd rhymes were written in
the early part of the revolutionary war
about 1875. If read as written they
are a tribute to the king and his army,
but If read downward on either side of
the comma, they indicate an unmistak-
able spirit of rebellion to both king
and parliament. The author is I'M
known:
Hark, bark, the trumpet sounds, the
din of wars alarms
Ger seas. and solid grounds, doth call
us all to arms,
Who for King George doth stand, their
honors soon shall shine,
Their ruin is at hand, who with the
congress join.
The acts of parliament. in them 1 much
delight
hate their cursed intent. who for the
congress fight.
The tories of the day, they are my
daily toast.
They soon will sneak away, who inde-
pendence boast,
Who nonresistant hold. they have my
hand and heart,
May they for slaves be sold, who act
the whiggish part
On Mansfield, North and Butte, may
daily blessings pour,
Confusion and dispute, on congress
evermore.
To North and British lord, may honors
still be done,
I wish block and cord, to General
Washington.
