AN EXCITING GAME.
Buddy Taught :, to His Grandma and
Explained II to His Father.

Explained IL to His Father.
There is a good old lady living
not far from Woodward avenue and
the boulevard who looks upon all
games of cards as a menace to the
soul of man. There is not a play
ing card in her daughters home,
where she resides, and the person
convicted of indulging in solitaire,
casino, euchre or any similar pas
time forfeits that old lady's esteem
and wins in its place her sincere
and deep sympathy.
She has a grandson who is not
quite as sanity. He is going to
high school and has been known to
win 20 cents in one afternoon at
penny ante freeze ont and can rifle
a pack without spilling any on the
floor. He and his grandmother are
great pals, and the other evening
his father, who left a great many
things behind him when he married,
was startled to hear his son exclaim:
"1'll see you and raise you three,
grandma
On the family sewing table grand
ma and the young man were playing
an exciting game. They were using
a pack of cards designed for a game
known as our feathered friends and
dish of beans. On each card was
the picture of a different kind of
bird.
Presently grandma in an excited
tone piped up:
"Now, Buddy, you forgot to ante
again"
Father became interested. Grand
ma stayed up until 8 o'clock, half
an hour past her bedtime, and when
she reluctantly arose she said:
"Well, Buddy, l have nineteen
more beans than you have, and I'll
get all of yours away from you to-
morrow night"
'My son" said father after grand
ma had left the room, "what's the
game you were playing with grand
MAJ"
"It's called beano," said his son.
"You see, these cards are divided
into four groups-birds of prey,
song birds, game birds and domestic
fowls. There are thirteen of each,
and they are graded. The eagle,
lark, grouse and turkey count the
highest. The dealer gives each
player five cards, and each one can
lay aside as many as he wants and
draw as many more. Everybody
puts one bean in the middle of the
table at the beginning

There was a wickedly reminis-
cent smile on fathers face as he
pulled the last of Buddy's beans at

AMERICAN EXPO. IN BERLIN.

An American exposition will be
held in Berlin from May to July.
1910. At the head of this EXPOSE
ton is a committee consisting of
representative business men of the
United States. A committee has
aleo been formed in Berlin, whose
honorary president is Prince Henry
of Prussia. The central location of
the city of Berlin, not only as the
capital of the German empire, but
also with respect to great part
Of northern, central and eastern Eu-
rope, assures a rare opportunity for
showing American products abroad
and for promoting the export trade
of the United States. AS the expo
sition is to be confined strictly to
American products, it becomes
matter of national interest to have
the exhibits thoroughly comprehen-
sive and of exceptional merit, SO
that the exposition may serve to
strengthen the prestige of American
industries abroad.

On certain occasion, when George
III. proposed to visit a man-of-war
at Portsmouth, the captain, who was
religiously disposed man, was
thrown into great CONSERVATION lest
his crew or the officers under him
should fail in proper respect.
The boatswain, though an inval-
liable seaman, was particular
source of fear; and, knowing from
the familiar habits of his majesty
that he would probably have some
thing to say to each one on board,
the captain called this man aside and
informed him how he should be-

The boatswain seemed very tract
able and the captain was pleased;
but his worst fears were verified
when, on the king addressing some
question to the boatswain, that sea-
man stammered, twitched at his
waistband in mental perplexity, and
at length turned towards the cap

EVILS OF STREET LIGHTING
% Once Was Bitterly Opposed on
Both Theological and MedI
cal Grounds.

Less than a hundred years ago
street lighting was opposed by the
very best men of that day on theo-
logical grounds as being pre-
sumptuous thwarting Of the inten-
lions of Providence, which had ap-
pointed darkness for the hours of
night. 1t was opposed on medical
grounds, as gas and oil were de-
clared unwholesome, and they
argued that it was bad thing to
encourage people to stay outdoors
nights and catch colds, pneumonia
and fevers. On moral, philosophic
grounds it was held that the peoples
moral standard would be lowered by
street lighting, as the drunkard
would feel there was no hurry to get
home, and late sweethearting would
be encouraged, whereas black night
sent people home early thus, preserv-
ing them from multitude of sins.
They also argued that lights would
make thieves alert and that national
Examinations would lose their effect
if there were street lighting every
night.
Seventy-fve years ago streets
were being lighted with oil and gas.
Twenty-Five years ago the electric
lights were introduced and sys-
tematic lighting of streets began /;
now there is scarcely a hamlet SO
small it cannot boast of lighted
streets. And the men who are study
ing the subject say that the dawn
of artificial light is just breaking.

GRAND DUKE GETS BUSY.

The Grand Duke Michael, only
brother of the car, having discov-
cred a life Of idleness and exemption
from military service detracts from
his popularity, has turned to and
gone to work in little provincial
town with a line regiment of cav
airy. Before there was a little car
owitz in the world, Michael Alexan-
drovitch occupied a most unenvi-
able position. At any moment he
might have to become emperor of
Russia and there were reasons why
such a turn in events would have
been deplored. But with the birth
of the little Alexis danger passed
and the criticised brother of the
car was allowed to go his own sweet
pace. That he has awakened to the
responsibilities of his position and is
capable of resenting the attacks of
the douma shows he is not the sim
pleton they took him for.
