An Exciting New Game
i, +ha Na,v York Times

From the New York Times.
 Five young men with red hair and five young men who are prematurely
 bald dress themselves in gingham cloth : ing, with wide sash over the left
 shoulder. (The purpose of the sash ap-
 pears later-the gingham clothing is jusc for pure deviltry) The five young
 men with red hair range themselves in
 solid front directly opposite the five
 young men who are prematurely bald. The red haired gentlemen then say, in chorus, softly, yet distinctly 'If we cannot possess red hair. let us have none at all" To this pretty compliment t the prema turely bald young men reply, smiling pleasantly as they speak,
 "Thank you so much.'
 'Jnstead of replying: Not at all!'
 as would naturally be expected, the youngN men whose hair are red (we
 use the plural advisedly) step graco- fully forward and seize the sashes of the other contestants in the game. These, in turn, also seize sashes. Being paired off they now waltz gently about i tho apartment where the game is being played to the music of a Hungarian | orchestra, which is concealed behind
 banks of flowers and rare exotics.
 At this point the spectatotrs of the
 game are taken violently insane, thus
 presenting the superb finale in which

 We have received from the Interstate association their certificate of registra- tion, authorizing the Birmingham Gun club contributes adds $20O, to be divided ment on July 25 and 26. This tournament will be held under the new ruling of the Interstate association governing shoots in every state in the Union, and to which shoot said association contributes s2OO to be applied under the t'Squier Money-Mack system" In addition to the contribution of the association, the Birmingham Gun in four equal moneys among the contest ants. This makes total of $400 added money to this shoot and owing to the fact that the Interstate association re- quires that their money be added under the "Squer MoneyBack system,' this club believes this feature will be quite d drawing card to the amateur shooter of low average. This Is also held to be a fact by the Interstate association. In or der that the high amateur shooter may be interested in our shoot, the Birming- ham Gun club adds $2OO of it's own money that will be divided as stated above in four equal moneys, in order that every body shooting from the scratch will have a chance to win something, if he enters in the events under which the Gun clubs money is added, provided he is able to break as many 1T out of the 20 birds shot in each event.

What the Answer

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 In book written by an Englishman there is found a proposition so reVolu- tionary and at the same time so logical that it quite upsets us When a theory appears to be absolutely correct, and when one will stultify ones self by re- jecting it and ruin ones self by accept ing 1t, what is one going to do? It Is no good to emigrate, or commit suicide, or become an anarchist; several ordi- nary people and the problem will still remain, and philanthropists will endow new asylums when the old ones are overcrowded.
 The book is entitled The. Tyranny of Speed and it's author seeks for a means of forcing automobiles to observe the laws. Observe his simple and brutal logic. Suppose the legal maximum of speed is 20 miles an hour The best way to keep inside that legal maximum is to fotbid the manufacture of ma chimes capable of a higher speed. Is it not foolish and futile to make smooth roads and build cars that can go 100
