PLAYING CARDS UNCHANGED.

Quite apart from their use in vari-
GUS games, playing cards are an in
teresting study from historic and
pictorial points of view. There are
four suits, representing four classes
of people as they were divided at the
time the pack of cards we now use
was devised by the French. The
"spades" stood for pikemen or SOL
diers, the "clubs" for clover, typify-
ing farmers, the diamonds" for
building titles, representing artisans,
and the "hearts" for choirmen or &C.
clesiastics. The "kings'' and
'squeens" at that time were more or
less correct likenesses of certain
royal and noble personages. Even in
our modern packs it is said that one
of the s'queens" is a conventionalizcd
portrait of Elizabeth of York, who
was engaged to the Dauphin OF
France. The Sknaves" were then the
kings testers, and even these cards
may be portraits. All the court cards,
in fact, retain their sixteenth GEN.
fury characteristics. Cards are
amongst the few things that have not
changed with the centuries.

CLARA HAIGHT
CLARA HAIGHT

Even the gypsy camp with its bevy
of fortune tellers was relegated to
the rear when Colonel Kirkham en-
tered. Youngsters who had heard Of
the colonels mighty exploits in the
Philippines gathered to stare art
lessly at the hero, whom Auburn
dale claimed as its own, and the
girls swarmed about him, glad that
their chance books provided an OPP
portunity Of speaking to the man
who had done things.
Back in the knitted goods booth
Miss Martha Nellis shrunk into the
shadow and tears filled her eyes. The
sight Of the colonel's hair touched
with gray reminded her that she, too,
was growing old. His hair had been
black that night when she had re-
fused him, and he had gone off to
join his company declaring that he
would never return to >Auburndale. .
Ever since she had heard that he
was coming her heart had been in a
flutter, though outwardly she was as
calm and. placid as ever. The years
had touched her lightly. Her hair
was still brown and thick, and scarce
line marked her face, but she
shrank from the thought that she
was thirty-seven-far beyond the age
of romance.
She looked now with tcar-dimmed
eyes to where the colonel was laugh

SOME STORIES Of NAPOLEON
illustrating the Difference Between
His Regime and That Of tho
French Kings.

One evening at Fontainbleau the
French comedian had just played the
Marriage lie Figaro" in the presence
of the emperor. When the curtain
had fallen Marechal Lannes e1-
claimed:
"When / think that formerly I
almost had myself trampled on and

''That's because" replied Napo-

The emperor has often been seen
dctaching his own cross Of the Le-
gion of Honor to place it himself on
the breast Of a hero. Louis XIV.
would first have asked if the brave
man was noble; Napoleon asked if
the noble was brave. A sergeant
who in battle had performed prodi-
gies Of valor, was brought before
Louis XIV. Il grant you pension
of 1900 livres," said the king.
"Sire, ! should prefer the cross Of
Saint Louis.'
Il should think SO, but you will

Napoleon would have embraced

back on him. 1t is the decided dis
tinction which separates the two
cpochs.

The emperor's presence in the
army produced a great effect. Every
one had the blinidest confidence in
him; it was known by experience
that his plans would bring victory
so that, when he arrived our forces
were morally doubled. But this per-
petuity of combats tired the old SOL
diers, the old officers and the old
generals very much; they did not
hesitate to say SO, which prevented no
one from doing his duty when the oc-
casion offered. sRecollections

examine the hurt. 'sBut I can't get
the trap off, Nan. It's set grmly."
"There comes somebody along the
road" Evelyn cried, and rising, she
let out a long call for help, as the
sound Of a throbbing motor came
nearer. It was answered, and in a
moment Barty Yeoland came toward
them, crashing down the underbrush
with his booted feet.
While the girls tried to tell what

come to my place, as we're near
there. I will phone down to the
village for a doctor for Miss

"Pleasc may we take our buckle

The Colonel Under Fire.

) Theodore Roosevelt is endeared to
thousands of Americans for two
qualities in particular. They are his
courage and his manliness. In the
trying and exciting moments of his
peril in Milwaukee Monday night,
both shone out with renewed ulster.
Those who admired the Colonel be-
fore the shooting find their admira-
ton Increased and many who did
not find that he is possessed of
qualities which they heretofore did
not suspect. t.
Colonel Roosevelt is a tried soldier
and it was his military training that
made him face his audience and per-
form a duty even though he was
carrying fresh wound and constant
ly losing blood. His delay in reach
ing a hospital, due to his insistence
on making his address, may cost him
his life although it is hoped it will
not.
A coward would have quailed; a
weakling would have skunk awav.
The Colonel displayed at their best
those qualities for which he is so
admired.

"In football we have the spectacle
OF Scout Frank of Nebraska and
Scout McGovern returning to their
various stamping grounds after hay
ing watched the rival teams play.
Frank goes back to Nebraska
and tells his co-workers that the
Minnesota team is a big bluff so far
as weakness goes; that Dr. Williams
is meat-feeding a lot of long-haired
hyenas who are keeping folks in
Minneapolis awake at nights as
they howl for cornhusker gore. He
paints the Gophers as maneating
gizwillers with horns on their heads,
spiked tails and cloven. hoofs-fre-
eaters and general varmints in hui
man form.
"McGovern comes back and tells
the Gophers that he peeked through
the bars of the cage and saw the
Cornhuskers tearing trees in twain
with their teeth; that they have
claws like Chinese mandarin and
they are a beetle-browed gang of
pirates who will stop at nothing
short of chewing out the hearts of
their antagonists to reach the goal
line. They are all seven feet tall
and weigh 800 pounds each and there
isn't a man on the Nebraska squad
who can't fox-trot 100 yards in
seven seconds fiat and start with his
back turned to the tape. At which
