How Japs Play Ken.

In It's most widely practiced form the
basis of the Japanese game of ken Is
that the fully outStretChcd hand sig
nies paper. the fully closed hand
stone. and two fingers alone extended.
the rest being closed. scissors. Each
Of the players, counting one, two,
three, throws ont his hand at the mo-
ment of Tronouncing three, and the
one whose manual symbol Is superior
to that of the others, according to the
theory of the game, wins the trial.
Superiority is determined on the hy-
potheSis that whereas scissors can
not cut q stone they can cut paper and
whereas paper is cut by scissors 1t can
wrap up StOne-cOnSequently scis-
sors are inferior 10 stone, but conquer
paper; stone is inferior to paper, but
conqucrs scissors, and paper is inferior
to scissors, but conquers stone. There
are inuumcrabc varieties Of the game.

time they cough tell them to press the

stop the most obstinate cough, and by
the same token it will stop sneeze

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1911.

Let il be said, as an established
proposition, that an artificial restraint
of trade is public disadvantage
Whatever a man has honestly acquired
i his own. SO said Lord Camden IN
the British parliament at the begin
ming of .he American revolution, when
the colonies were protesting against
the payment of taxes in the laying OF
which they had no voice. A citizen
is bound to contribute, according 10
his possessions, toward the support OF
the government under which ne HNe''
But the government has no right to

of its administration, upon some form

collect more than that is 10 practice
unwarranted extortion. 1t Is robbery
To tax one class OF inhabitants for the
benefit of another elias, is also robbery.
Because the government OF Great
Britain persisted in its efforts to tax
the colonies, while the colonies were
not permitted to share in directing
the government, the colonies struck
for, and won their independence.
Let it be remembered that our an
cestors made a stand upon their ma

LEGAL Christian Names.

A middle name, or its initial letter
constitutes no part of persons name
in the eyes of the law; likewise, the
word "iunior," or SENIOR" added TO
the name of person, forms no part of
his legal name. AS a general rule,
the courts hold that the initial letters
of persons given or Christian name
do not constitute a proper designation
of the person in legal documents, al
though they have come to be in very
general use in business and CONNER
cial transactions.
The purpose of a name is to identify
the person. BY the common law, since
the time of William the Conqueror, a
full name of a person consists of one
Christian or given name, and one sur
name or patronymic. The two, using
the Christian name first and the sur.
name last, constitute the legal name Of
the person. Any person may have as
many middle names or initials as are
given to him, or as he chooses to take;
they do not affect his legal name, and
they may be inserted or not in a deed
or contract without affecting its legal
validity.
In complaints, petitions and other
papers used in courts, parties should
always be designated by their full
Christian names prefXed to their sur
names. In criminal prosecutions it is
generally very essential that the full
Christian name of a defendant should
be given in the indictment or informa-
ton. 1t is not sufficient to use initials
or Authorizations of the given name.
Indeed most courts hold that abbrevia
tiOns used instead of the Christian
names Of parties, even in civil actions
and proceedings, render the proceed
ings irregular and sometimes of no
effect. For instance, in Missouri de-
linqucnt taxes on ceal estate are col
lected by regular suit brought against
the owner to foreclose the tax lien on
the land. If the owner is non-resi-
dent of the state, he must be construc-
lively notified by publication of the
summons in a newspaper. In such cas-
es, if the suit is brought against him,
using only the initials of his Christian
name preliXed to his surname or his
( rI,1ltiu, l.. ,llratyia t oil nd
summons be published accordingly,
the court will not acquire jurisdiction
and the whole proceedings will be in
valid. A recent case decided by the
supreme court of Missouri illustrates
the doctrine. one Michael Ohlmann
brought suit against the Clarkson Saw
mill Company, to quiet title to tract
Of land. The defendant company claim
ed title by mesne conveyanccs based
upon certain tax deed made to one
G. j. Carly several years before. On
the trial it appeared that the petition
to sell for taxes, the tax bill and the
order for publication of summons, and
the Judgment in the tax suit against
Ohlmann, designated him as "Mike"
Ohlmann. The supreme Court decided
that the tax deed was void because the
court that rendered the judgment on
which the deed was based never ac-
quircd jurisdiction over Michael Oil
mann Wisconsin Farmer.

SPOILED THE PLOT.
A Display of Juvenile Affection That
Saved the Monerel.

Saved the Monsrel.
About three weeks ago there strolled
into n Ridley Park house dirty, dis
reputable looking dog. He was Of no
particular breed. but a general mix
ture of all there are. Out of the kind
ness of her heart the cook gave him a
few bites to eat. and from that time
on, try as they would, the family could
not get rid Of the canine. The small
children took n great fancy to the dog
and named him BLUE. Their father
and mother grew tired of seeing BLUE
around and secretly plotted to get him
out of the way. They feared to kidnap
him openly by day. for there would
surely follow much protest and distress
on the part of the children. According
ly plans were made for losing BLUE
some place far from Ridley Park by
night. The evening that the plot was to
be carried out, just after supper. father,
mother and tve-year-old boy were
IN the parlor. The little fellow was
fonding the dog as If he were his best
friend in the world. Finally he seized
the dog firmly under the shoulders and,
looking straight into his eyes. lisped
out. "Bwooie. do you wove me?' and
then after II moment with JOY in his
voice. "BwoOie Woves me and the
world is mine" After that touching
display neither father nor mother had
the heart to deprive the little fellow
of "Bwooie's" company, and the little
mongrel dog seems sure of comforta-
bic home for life.-Philadelphia Rec

COUNTING BY TENS.
And Suggestion as to Why We Buy
Thipcs by the Dozen.


Did it ever occur to you as strange
that while we count by tens we buy
so many articles by the dozen? II we
ask the price of apples, oranges, oys-
tiers. eggs. collars. handkerchiefs and
many other things we will be told so
many cents or dollars dozen, or If
large quantities are wanted so much
a gross. which means a dozen dozen.
How do you suppose this has come
about? 1t was this way: Nearly all
savage people count by their fingers
that is. if they want to tell you they
have seen two wild beasts they will
hold up two fingers, and If ten they
will hold up both hands, and II twenty
both hands twice, and so on. Babies
also learn to count by their fingers
and toes. and to many people it seems
as If that were the only possible way.
1t is. however, rather a clumsy way,
as you find out when you try to divide
ten. Say, for example, you have ten
apples. You can only make an equal
division among two or five persons
while If you have twelve you can give
an equal number to two, three. four
or six. We find the same inconven

have to pay Is cents for what should
properly cost 1872 cents.
If we had been born with two, four
six or eight fingers or toes, like some
animals. 1t Is possible that we should
have counted differently, but it does
not now seem likely there will ever be
any change in the ten or decimal sys-
TEN. as it is called. especially since
the Arabic numerals now used nearly
everywhere are based on this system.
