What He Heard.

John Is his name. and he. lives In
Newburg. Further personal details
are not necessary. Now, John has a
wife who is not as charitable as she
might be, and she has woman friend
who has domestic troubles of her own
and therefore can and does sympathize
with Johns wife. Just what time it
was when John came in the other
morning deponent knoweth not, but
certainly it was no sort of time for a
married man to be getting home, and
his wife told him so. though he knew
1t perfectly well without being told.
Next morning after JAhn had gone to
his office his wife called up the other
woman on the telephone and told
about John. The other woman was all
sympathy. and what the two had tC
say about the kind of husband John
was was more than plenty. In the
thick of it friend of Johns got on the
wire-not Intentionally, of course, fol-
he thought John was a model. but HI
got there, and it sounded good enough
to him to stay and listen. But no
for long. Presently he coughed, ant
there was sudden silence.
"Whos that?' inquired Johns wife
ITS John" responded the frien
and hung mp the receiver.-New Yor

The Clever Shoe Clerk.

At the cost of considerable time and
labor one high grade shoe house is
bound to protect it's goods. On a rainy
day a woman wearing wet shoes went
in to buy rubbers. The clerk meas
ured the width and length OF her
shoes, removed them and brought a
new pair of the same size to try on.
Visions of depleted pocketbook caus-
ed her to exclaim, But l don't want
new shoes, only rubbers"
81 understand" said the clerk. u
am only slipping these shoes on to NJ
the rubbers over. 1t soils the inside
of rubber to slip it on over wei
shoe. Then if it doesn't fit and the
customer doesn't take it it is spoiled
for the next customer"
"And the outcome of that eXperi
ence was" said the woman, that
bought the shoes as well as the rup
beers and had them sent home {. .. l.
Maybe that was what he was workln
for all the time."-New York sun

SEES THROUGH GLASS EYE
A SURGICAL MIRACLE.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 25.-For the
first time in four years DR.. William
Copley Winslow, noted archaeologlst'
historical writer and former Episcopal
minister, is able to see and resume
his studies. He has been cured oil
blindness. Surgery has substituted a
glass lens for the dead and useless
lenses of his eyes.
In other words, when DR.. Winslow
does not wear the lenses nothing bui
white glare flashes through the
hollow pupil of the eye. But when
the lens is adjusted the world instant
" arises before DR.. Winslow like mag
ic. Thus science has accomplished
one of the most remarkable curei
known. Doctor Winslow is past I
years of age and his affection ha'
been coming on for four years.

The Waste of the Wind.

Every one who wants cheap mo-
tive force has tried to harness the
wind. Every child has made n paper
propeller or windmill. But can it be
said that the possible uses of the wind
have been as arduously investigated
as such recently discovered forces as
steam and electricity and gases? Is 1t
not conceivable that the practical uses
of the wind are un1erestimated just
because they are so familiar?
We cannot help thinking that the
wind will be more variously employed
some day i'll the same way that prob
ably the problem of laying under con-
tribution the great physical fact of the
tides will lie solved. One would think
that the wind could be used for cleo
trio lighting, yet there is no practical
apparatus for the purpose. True, the
wind is variable and occasionally alb
sent, but as electricity can be stored
one might suppose that this was the
very case in which variability did no
particularly matter.-London Specta

Its pectoral fins are so modified ana

uses them for clinsing to the weed
Very gaudily coiored, it changes Its
hues to match the aquatic vegetation
by which il is surrounded, and when
the latter decays and turns brown IL
assumes corresponding shade.
The fish lays its eggs in a JeiIy-llke

AUCTION BRIDGE LESSONS.
By R. F. FOSTER,

No. 9.

of going game, is a sure loser unless MS
| adversaries are equally rash.
In straight bridge the dealer must de-
clare on the average value OF his CARDS
| or pass altogether. and having done one
or the other. he has nothing more to say
All regrets that he did not make 1t some
thing else, or leave 1t to his partner are
vain. The auction PLAYER. on the CON
trary has two quite distinct declarations
at his disposal the first being TO give or
seek Information and the second to set
tie the trump
Let a bridge player pick up hand con-
tanning four hearts to the ace-queen. or
the king Jack. four diamonds to the king
queen, ace and two small spades. nothing
in clubs. and he cannot pass 1t unless
he is nearly out and willing to nave
dummy make 1t a spade. He will In
variably call no trumps. basing his pros
poets Of success on the average Value Oh
his cards and risking the clubs being all
against him. >,
But at auction the first declaration Is
not a make, and with such cards as these
the dealer would call one spade IN order
to see whether any one would declare the
clubs If his partner does so the dealer
has a no-trumper. II the adversartes do
so the clubs are against him and the no
trumper Is unsafe. the dealer overcalhng
with q heart or diamond. giving the pref

There are countless hands at auction

with what would be a no-trumper II Me
were sure his partner had a trick In

to make 1t easy for the partner to declare
that suit for one trick. Going 1t blind
succeeds occasionally. but when it does 1t
is for IL points trick only. When II
fails it costs 80 or 100.
This is the difference between the
player who always goes to the full extent
of his cards on the first round, just as If

The successful auction player is the one
who knows how to vary his game, not
only according to his hand and the score.
but to suit the character Of the other
players at the table. To be a good auc-
ton player one must have much the same
judgment and finesse that goes to make
a good poker player. The chief thing to
avoid is the mechanical game, the wood
en- system. which allows a shrewd ad-
versary to shape his game accordingly.
allowing you to play your doubtful con-
tracts and forcing you beyond your depth
on your good hands. Your partner will
be more than satisfied If he finds the
only times he is misled are those in
which you are so strong that you can
afford to shut him out or so weak that
you want to save him from loss.
Two systems, apparently opposed. have
been explained in these articles, and, al
what has been called the auction system.
as distinguished from the bridge system,
is a thing of the past, they are very
much mistaken. The thing that has
passed away with ripper experience is the
slavish adherence to one system to the
exclusion of the other The most sue
cessful players are those who use the
system best suited to the individual hand
at the score, just as the most successful
whist players were those who blended
short suits. or tenace and ruff1ng tactics,
with the longsuit. or trump-exhausting
game, according to the circumstances
The secret of success in auction is to
bid safely instead Of guessing and not
to risk a large loss for the sake of a
small gain. The player who hazards the
loss Of two or three hundred points for
the sake of advancing his score from 6
points to II. without the slightest hope
