The Game Of Drafts.

The origin Of the game Of drafts
is unknown. Paul de Mallet in his
treatise on drafts, written about
1868, shows quite clearly that the
game, or its equivalent at least, is
depicted ON the Egyptian monu-
fnents. The game was certainly
known among the Greeks and Ro~
mans Of the earlier times, and
traces of drafts have Enthusiastically
been discovered in the writings Of
other peoples Of antiquity. The
game saw great revival in Europe
during the sixteenth century.

TRAPPED THE TRAITOR.

Case Of Treaehery.

v ashingto0's Clever Way OF NEE ~
Case Of Treaehery.
Among the many anecdotes told
of Washington is one Of how ne
escaped capture at the hands OF 9
treacherous host, whom he after
ward pardoned at the earnest plead
ing Of the culprit's family.
The American army was en-
camped near West Point, when one
day their commander was invited
to visit nearby mansion and dine
with an old gentleman at precisely
2 o'clock. Having been accustomed
to visit the family, he at first trust
ed this old man, but whispers got
about questioning his fidelity to the
patriot cause, which at last Wash
ington resolved to put to a test,
The host had been insistert as to
the hour for dinner and intimated
that guard would not be necessary
This somewhat aroused Washing
toms suspicion, so he decided to az,
rive at least an hour earlier than
the appointed time. The host sug-
gested walk on the piazza and by
his nervousness soon made it evil
dent to his guest that something
was wrong. Washington brought
the conversation around to the SUBJ
ject of traitors, and he wondered at
the lack of principle that would
cause native born Americans to join
the enemy for a little glittering
gold. His fixed look as he made
these remarks made the traitor
quail, but now the sound Of horses
hoofs was heard, and up rode a
company of dragons in scarlet
coats.
'What cavalry are these?" ex-
claimed Washington. "What does
this mean"
ga party of British light horse
sent for my protection" answered
his host.
''British horse-to protect you
while l am your guest. What does
this mean, sir % =
The troops, now dismounting,
came toward the piazza, and the old
man, getting close, to his guest, said,
General, you are my prisoner"
81 believe not" said Washington.
"But, sir, l know that you are
mine! Arrest this traitor, oficer!"
Not knowing what to make Of
this turn Of affairs, the hypocrite
looked from Washington to the
troopers and then saw that they
were American cavalrymen whom
Washington had disguised in Brit
ish uniforms and who arrived
promptly at las in order to pro-
tect their general and aid him to
test the truth or falseness of his
host.
Being conducted, a prisoner, to
the camp, the false friend after
ward confessed that he had been
bribed to deliver Washington to a
squadron of the enemy at 2 o'clock
on the day when the American COM
mander was his visitor III. A. Og-
den in St. Nicholas. I.

Instinct Stronger Than Will.

A curious story is told of OAR
win and snakes. He used to go into
the London Geological society's gar
dens, Regents park, and, standing
by the glass case containing the
cobra de capello, put his forehead
against the glass while the cobra
struck out at him. The glass was
between them. Darwin's mind was
perfectly convinced as to the inabil-
Iity Of the snake to harm him, yet he
would always dodge. Time after
time, he tried it, his will and reason
keeping him there, his instinct MAX
ing him dodge. The instinct was
stronger than both will and reason.

ARTHUR SWANTES.
 SHOOTS HIMSELF Young Man in West End Was Showing Compan-
 ions His Revolver

Arthur Swantes, young man about ls years of age, was seriously wounded last night at about Il o'clock. when pistol which he was showing to few of his friends in front of his residence in West End was accidentally discharged shooting him just above the heart
 It seems that Swantes had just been to church with a party of young friends and when they arrived in front of the residence he procured a new revolver and was showing it to his companions. It was thought that the pistol was unloaded, but it was stated that he was handling the weapon very cautiously. AS he was demonstrating the working of the pistol to the girls in the party, however, he accidentally pulled the trigger and the revolver was discharged, the bullet strik- ing him near the heart.
 A telephone call was at once sent in to Dr. M. A. Copeland to come at once with an ambulance. But it seems Dr. Copeland was out on a call and Dr. Gar rison immediately went to his aid. When he arrived the young man was in a very serious condition and bleeding profusely He was immediately taken to a local hospital where he was operated upon. At late hour last night his condition could not be definitely stated, but it was thought has a fighting chance for his life.

GAME PRESERVES
 0N THE INCREASE

Washn gton, July 2.-Steady progress is being made in the movement for the increase of game by propagation and the establish ment of game preserves. according to the annual review of the biological survey. The more than 15O fatal accidents to hunters last year greatly exceeded the record of any previous year. Popularity of the auto mobile in hunting materially increa sed, and the possibility of utilizing the aeroplane in duck shooting was dem onstrated by experiments in southern California.
 In the east where game is largely free from natural enemies and hunting prohibited and females and young are protected by law, deer are increasing. In the west, however, games is exposed to attack by coyotes, wolves and moun- tain lions and the natural range of big game is being encroached upon by set clement and grazing demands.
 The demand has exceeded the supply of game birds for restocking. Con- paratively few quail are available Great destruction by forest fires was reported last year. Continued interest is manifested in the experimental stock . ing of American coveys with game birds. The Hungarian partridge re- mains the favorite, although there is g noticeable tendency to return to the pheasant as more likely to give satis- factory results.

 Lycette claims that he was clubbed by the unknown man with no provoca- ton having been given other than his reprimand and subsequent attempt to chastize the little negro who talked back with insulting language. He states however. that small street urchin, who saw the attack, recognized his as- sailant.
 The affair came about shortly after the noon hour and the injured man was quickly removed in Johns ambulance 10 the Hillman hospital. where his wounds were dressed. He was rest ing very well last night and his phy- sician attending stated that he would be dismissed from the infirmary within few days.

ALL READY FOR
 WOLGAST MORAN

San Francisco, July 2.-Champion Ad Woigast and Owen Moran, challenger for the lightweight title, who will meet in a 20-round fight in San Francisco July 4, each put in long days work today in short boxing workouts and road runs.
 It was the last work before the fight. as they will rest tomorrow
 Both men are in fine condition, so de- clare the hundreds of enthusiasts who made the pilgrimage to the beach to see Wolgast and to San Rafiel to see Moran.
 Wolgast pranced out on the hard beach road at 8 o'clock this morning like young colt and galloped eight miles without the slightest sign of distress. After a short go at shadow boxing he lounged until lunch time, renewing his workout early in the aft ernoon.
 Hobo" Dougherty furnished amuse- ment for four rounds of fast pummel- ing. Dougherty, who is possessed of considerable pepper" and hitting abil- ity, was whacked about like straw man, Wolgast Keeping up a shart tat too on his ribs and jabbing his face.
 Moran put in slower but none the Tess strenuous day.
 Both managers used superlatives liber- ally in speaking of the condition of their men.
 'The boy is in better condition than he was when he fought Nelson," said Tom Jones, Wolgasts manager.
 Moran has never been in such fine fighting trim in his life,'' said Charles Harvey, who is looking after the British fighters interest.

LORIMER CASE IS
 GENUINE MUDDLE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE D


 ceived no contributions from anyone to assist fin the election of borimer, that he had been authorized to receive no such funds and had heard nothng of the pro- posed collectioD of such funds
 Now, let us analyze the testimony of the two witnesses. Funk as general man. ager of the International Harvester com pany, was, of course. in sympathy with his company in it's admitted opposition to Senator Lorimer. Lorimer wanted the opening of branch of the Chicago river which improvement was desired by every interest in the community with the excep- tion of the Harvester company. The liar vester company had been and is still doing all in it's power to close the river branch at Its plant and stop further improve ment
 It does not appear reasonable that Hines, knowing the opposition of Funk to Mir I.ormer, would go to him to so- scit funds to reimburse in a corruption fund. He would have been the last man ordinarily that would have been ap- proa ached on such a matter. There is more ground for believing that Funk would attempt to get in the good graces of the new senator after his election by coming forward with a voluntary contribution, as is testified by Hines.
 Everybody who has heard the testimony of the two men is commenting on the straightforward manner of Edward Hines and the corroborative testimony that seems to confirm his version of the story. Senator Kenyon became so indignant yesterday at the disparity of testimony that he spoke right out In meeting declar- ing that somebody should be prosecuted for perjury. He Is a member of the in t- v.r01, able that when the examination is con- cluded the testimony and other papers will be put in the hands of the district attorney with the recommendation that action be taken for perjury. That perjury Is being committed there can be no ques- tion.
 It is a very knotty problem. and one of the most interesting of the various in- vestgation that have engaged the atten-
