My aunt sometimes plays bridge-a a
social game
Compared with which the ancient
poker's tame.
Where friend meets friend across the
table, So
One hand Is played and friend be-
comes a foo.
Where nerves grow taut and tense,
where breath comes short
And timid women are crucifed for
sport.
The chances are. says Elwell, Il
you're strong
/ Or weak in any suit youll lead It
wrong
SO when you east your fat into the
fire
'Tis well to bow and gracefully re
tire,
My aunt plays attcrnoon--shc .aG.s

With hat and gloves stripped off
and plays to win.
Though she declares to me she never
tries
Ia all the games she plays TO Hin the

But wnen prize-pIaying women ain

peg.
An instinct truly feminine, you must
!, Admit, and nothing more than right
an Just.
So when she mixes In this playing
For half DAY she comes home al
worn out.
And cannot quite compose herself
til she
Has got her best gown OF and pour
ed some tea.
And from some bag or purse she
takes prize
WORTH forty cents and bangles IN my
eyes
And says: amanda Skinner thinks
that she

Due Precautions,

In a town in Georgia there was an
old preacher whose knowledge Of the
world was not wide nor deep, but who
conceived 1t to be a place where, If
n should trust his fellow men, he
should at the same time keep an eye
ON his own interests.
One hot day he pulled off his coat
and preached a vigorous sermon, I'M
der the pines, IN his shirt sleeves. At
the close Of the open-air service
OF his admirers approached him and
said, re~gretfully:
II don't suppose that you knew that
the editor of one of the big New York
Sunday papers was here when you
pulled off your coat"
II reckon I knew It well, for I'd
been told Of It," said the preacher.
calmly. II don't believe he's as bad
as he might be. and anyway, / put my
coat on the chair close by and had it
right under my eye all the time

prise one of them introduced the oLIet
as the Crown Prince OF denmark: pue
T had scarcely got him into my hanas
az q nupil when he was snatched away
nv the Schleswig-H olstein war. ~.
NV excellent friend, DR.. Aclaud' tlle
nrofessor of medicine, in whose house
many a pleasant evening was passeu'
went with the Prince or wares aiIsi
ward TO Canada. He was very on az
80 NOT very guarded. At a bali at
Quebec he was accosted by a stranger
Of gantlemanly manner who drew MN
into conversation about the prince re
said that the prince was eXlreLiSty
amiable. but had not the brains OIL ms
hrother, the Duke of Edinburgh. Wheh
thc stranger went away some one
asked Ac!and whether he knew 20
whom he had been talking. Aclano
said that he did not. That was the
correspondent Of h New YORK f1Si-
aid" A day or two atterwara tno
nrince came down to breakfast nou-
fishing in his hand a copy of the New
York Herald and saying, "Asland, l
sec that YOU think l am very amlcaoie'
but / have not the brains OF my broth
err Edinburgh?" This shows his good
nature.
In Canada, Oronyatekha, the Great
that was to be, was introduced TO Ac-
land as a decided proof Of Indian ca
pacity. Acland, always kind and apt
to be gushing, told O~ronyatekha thar
thew must have him at Oxford. some
time afterward. thanks, I believe TO
the liberality OF the prince, when Ac-
land was at Oxford, Oronyatekha APP
reared. Acland entered him at what
was then Magdalen hall and is now
HertfOrd college. 1t was not likely that
academical studies OF college rules
would suit the aspiring Indian. He at
all events left Magdalen hall for a
more practical field without taking q
degree. Such was the version of the
story which I heard at the time. An
other version introduces the Prince of
Wales.

Here Is advice from an insurance
man as to what to do in case of fire In
your home and as to precautions to
take against fire. Considering the
dangers and the frequent occurrence of
fires In dwelling houses he says 1t is
amazing how little thought is given to
fire prevention In general and to the
prompt e~xtinguishing OF small fires In
private residences in particular. Few
homes possess even the most primitive
facilities for quickly putting out a fire.
Water is the best of fire extinguish-
ers, but the water must be at hand In
a readily available receptacle. Buckets
specially constructed with rounded
bottoms-this feature to lessen the
chance of the buckets being utilized for
household purposes-flled with water
and placed on a suitable shelf, prefer
ably in the kitchen, are the cheapest
and most convenient fire e~Xtinguishers.
"A bucket Of water will do more good
thrown on a blaze with a dlpper or with
q broom than dashed on at once.
Smother an oil fire with wet rags,
cloth, sand, ashes or flour. A little
water thrown on burning oil will ag-
.gravate the fire.
Defective flues and stoyepipes, over
heated stoves, open fireplaces, naked
gas jets and carelessness with matches
and inflammable oils are prolific causes
OF fires I'm private houses. If there are
hues or stovepipes in your home see
they are clear OF woodwork and free
from cracks. An open fireplace should be
protected with a wire screen. Open
fires make an upward draught Of air
from the room, and this draught will
draw light material into the flames If
II Ome near enough,
Protect all woodwork above or be-
side a stove or gas jet with sheets of
asbestos or tin. Use rigid a fixtures.
If q swinging gas bracket is necessary,
always use a globe so that the flame
may not come in contact with combust-
Ible material.
When you smell gas in the house
open the doors and windows first, then
look for the leak: but never use a lamp,
candle or lighted match to find it.
Leaks In gas pipes may be temporarily
stopped with soap. II the leak is not
found, send for q plumber.
The dangers from carelessness with
paTlor matches are numerous. When
scratched the head often explodes, or
the stick breaks and the flaming head
flies off to set fire TO any inflammable
material 1t drops on. the clothing of
women and children included. Matches
left lying around where children can
reach them or where they may be
blown or brushed off to the ground
may cost dear.
Don't light matches in dark closets
filed with hanging clothes. Matches
should be kept In a metal receptacle,
and not distributed unfortunately
through the house. Use safety matches.
They are just as cheap and far less
dangerous than the parlor match.
If 1t should be your misfortune to
nave a iire in your home try TO keep
o. cool head. IL the blaze Is just start
Ing, throw water on the burning sub
not at the blaze. If o cannot
the fire at once yell "Fire!"
and then call the firemen. Make your
self familiar with the fire department
call in you immediate neighborhood.
Do not leave a door open when you
run to give the alarm. II the doors and
windows are closed when a fire starts

'AIl right, bishop!" he called cheerful

the middle Of the track and waved the
light.
With o horrid sereeching ana

from the caboose somewhere in the

What do you mean by stopping this
