Cards and Card Playing.

In paper in the journal of the Roy
al Society of Arts Professor II. Cheney
discussing the part played by gambling
in magic, observes: The use of cards
is said to be derived from the Turot
cards, which were originally employed
for occult purposes. The legend which
ascribes the invention of cards TO the
purpose of amusing a mad king does
not seem at all sufficient explana-
ton. and there is in addition the fact
that cards of a kind existed before the
said king. In further support of this
idea the well known practice of telling
fortunes by cards may probably be re-
garded as a survival Of regular form
Of divination by such means. 1t seems.
In fact. that card playing for stakes is
a mere development of ceremony in
which individuals consulting the ora
Gle decided to abide by its pronounce
ments as to the holding of disputed
property.

climbed over ridges and up ravines.
The final ascent was slope of rot
ten shale. For four and half hours
we climbed the loose rock, with not a
solid bit of footing. Halfway up the
slope we observed that storm cloud
had gathered southwest of us, not far
above ridge which we had crossed
early in the morning. Suddenly a bolt
of lightning flashed from the cloud to
the earth. A little later wreath of
smoke ascended from the ridge, and
we knew a fire had started from the
lightning.
About half past 1 we reached the
summit, narrow top but few feet
in width, on which was a pile of rocks
shoulder high, government triangu-
lation monument. Before was a preci-
pice, at the foot of which was an IN

we had scrambled. To the right a

Thus we remained for perhaps an

TRAMP MAKES ASSAULT.
Hurls Rock Through Window of Helen

GouId's Home.
New York, Feb. 17.-Angered when
refused aims at the door, a disheveled
tramp retired to the street and hurled
brick through one OF the library
windows of Miss Helen Gould's Fifth
avenue residence tonight. Miss Gould
was in an adjoining room and was un-
hurt, but Mrs. Edward Scholes, stand
ing near the window, was struck
cquarely on the head and knocked
PROSTATE. Only an abundance of hair
saved her from serious injury. The
police had not found the beggar late
tonight.
Miss Gould, who was in an adjoin-
ing room with two children, rushed
into the library when she heard the
crash and the butler summoned the
police. The butler told the police that
an Jhkempt man, wearing black
slcueh hat and apparently under the
influence of liquor, had mrched up to
the house shortly before O'Clock. He
rang the bell until the butler came
and then demanded to see Miss Gou'd.
The butler tod him that Miss
Gould was engaged, but the man in
sisted that she had helped him before
and that he was in dire distress now
AS the stranger left the butler says
he heard him curse and five minutes
laber the brick came hurting through
the window.
Mrs. Scholes' profile could be seen
plainly from the street and the police
believe tne tramp mistook her for
Miss Gould.

Jokes with Ambassador Bryce About
Annexation Bugaboo at informal
Dinner Talk.

Washington. Feb. 17.-President
Taft talked territorial expansion to-
night at dinner attended by AM
bassador Bryce of Great Britain and
corps. In what he termed the "an-
nexation business" he suggested as an
initial movement the immediate ac-
QUESTION of the Aurora Borealis.
The president dropped in during the
evening at the dinner given in honor
of Secretary of State Knox by Repre-
sentative ID. j. Foster of Vermont,
chairman of the House Committee on
Foreign Relations. He said, when
asked to saeak, that he wished to en-
phasize the Importance of the state
department and that he hoped the
subject would not cause surprise.
"Our attention has recently been
called to the subject of annexation
said the president, turning laughingly
to the British ambassador, land that 5
something Mr.. Bryce and / ought to
have a little confidential talk about"
Lookout" broke in Secretary Knox,
they'll think next we are after Aus
tralia," and his caution evoked
laughter, in which both the president
and Ambassador Bryce joined heartily
siBut I want it, distinctly under
Stood" continued the president, that
if we are going to embark in the an
nexation business we must at the earli-
est opportunity annex the Aurora
Borcalis.
The president then turned to seri-
Gus comment on the far-reaching im-
portance OF the state department, the
duties OF which he declared at times
exceeded in scope those of the execu-
tive. The presidents remarks were
wholly informal and no other speeeDes
were made.
Among the guests were Speaker
Cannon, Senators Bacon and Page, the
Japanese ambassador, the Chinese
minister, the minister from Ecuador,
the minister from Nicaragua, the min
lister from Costa Rica, the charge d

SENATORIAL
ELECTIONS
SENATE ADJoURNS WITHOUT
MAKING ANY PROGRESS ON
THE MEASURE.
Body Seems Stuck In Hopeless Tan.
gle in the Consideration of the
Bill for the Direct Election
of Senators.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Enmeshed in
an apparently hopeless tangle over the
joint resolution providing for tne eIvc-
tion of United States senators by di-
rect vote and in the face of positive
opposition from the champions of the
measure, the senate adjourned a few
minutes before 6 o'clock.
As matter of fact, mo progress was
made save that three speeches on the
subject were delivered. These were
made by Senator Rayner in opposition
to the Sutherland provision and by
Senators Carter and Hepburn in sup
port of it.
Mr.. Hepburn was the last speaker.
While he was on the floor a number
of senators engaged in an active prop
agnnda in favor of an agreement on
a definite time for vote and tle an
nouncement was made at last that
Mr.. Hedburn was the only senator
whose assent to this arrangement had
net been obtained. 1t was even hoped
that he would consent, but he de-
clined, saying that he would not agree
to vote on the main proposition until
he should know the fate of the Sutaer-
land amendment.
When, therefore, Mr.. Borah, the
other Idaho senator in charge OF the
resolution, asked for an agreement
TO vote next Wednesday Mr.. Hepburn
promptly objected, because of the at
titude of his colleague no course was
left to Mr.. Borah except that of press
ing the measure by asking the senate
fer a night session.
1t locked for time as though ne
would succeed.
Mr.. Gallinger moved an adjourn
ment. The friends of the measure
rallied on "a roll call and voted the
measure down, A to SO, but when 4
few minutes later Senator Nelson,
whe had waited patiently all day TO
get an opportunity to speak, made a
plea for adjournment, the objection to
closing the session faded away. The
senate then went into executive ses-
sion, adjourning soon afterward.
1t was understood tnat the election
question would be taken up early TO-
morrow
However, another order of business
has been arranged for 2:30 O'Clock
tomorrow and there may be a change
of program.
During the day President Taft was
appealed to to assist in getting night
session in the interest of the dispatch
of general business, but late in the day
word came from the White House that
ne had not been able to do anything In
that direction. At the close of the
sitting the friends of the measure
were by no means hopeful of getting
a vote at any time during the session
