Supposedly Through Mistake Of
Clerk-And We Had Ice Famine
At The Time

While Cairo was in the throes of
an ice famine stunt involving the
useless waste of the precious article
was pulled off at Mounds, according
to a story now going the rounds
The story goes that through an er-
ror of one of the clerks imported tc
take the place OF one of the strikers,
ice was placed in the wrong cars
The clerk is supposed to have MADE
notation on the wrong waybill in
structing car men to ice cars of GER

At all events II has been discov'
cred that one carload of cotton, an
other of pig iron and one of tea were
iced How these materials came to
be shipped In cars containing Ice
boxes is not apparent but it Is eyi-
dent that some refrigerator cars were
intended to be iced, and the clert
made a mistake in giving instruc-
tions.

Cards and Card PLAYING.

discussing the part played by gambling
in magic, observes: The use OF cards
is said 10 be derived i,oA a. TIrot
cards. which were originally employed
for occult purposes The legend which
ascrlbes the invention Of cards 10 the
purpose Of amusing mad King does
not seem at nit n sufficient explana-
ton, aud there Il in addition the fact
that cards Of 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 divinatiog by such means. II seems.
in fact. that card playing for stakes is
n 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.
