Chess Solitaire.

Here Is new and interesting game
OF solitaire. All you need is a chess
board and 80 pieces, or the same mum.
Der of draughts or counters. Num-
bered counters are used. The puzzle
is to remove all the counters except
two, and these two must originally
have been on the same side Of the
board; that is, the two left must eth
er belong to the group 1 to 16 or to
the other group, II to 81. You must
remove counter by jumping over
1t with another counter to the next
square beyond II that square is va
cant, but cannot make leap in d.
agonal direction. The following moves
will make the play quite clear: 3-11.
4-12, 3-4, 1873. Here 8 jumps over H..
and you remove II; jumps over H..
and you remove IL, and 30 on. 1t will
be found fascinating little game of
patience, and the solution requires the
exercise of some ingenuity.

SEARCH CELLARS OF HOUSE
Prscautlon That ls Never Neglected
Before Meeting Of the British
Parliament.

1t Is BOT years since the British
houses Of parliament were searched
and the barrels of gunpowder under
the custody Of Guy Fawkes discovered
few hours before the opening of the
session. That discovery was not due
to any special acumen on the part of
the authorities, since it followed upon
information sent them by letter; but
tnere has certainly been no lack of
vigilance since then, seeing that on no
occasion for three centuries has Par
lament been opened until its cellars
had been searched.
The duty of examining the vaultt
and secret passages is assigned to the
lord chamberlain of the court, but
generally it is the vice-chamberlain
who conducts the search. His assist
ants are the deputy sergeant-at-arms
OF the house of commons, the clerk of
the board Of works and an inspector
or police. There is lot of ceremony
pertaining to the proceeding.
The four officers mentioned are pre-
ceded by four yeomen of the guard in
uniform and fully armed. Through one
corridor after another they tramp,
peering into every dark corner until
they finally reach the conclusion that
no gunpowder has been stored in the
cellars and that, therefore, it is quite
safe for parliament to meet.
When, during the reign of James l.,
the earliest searches were ordered, the
guardsmen carried lanterns through
the dark passages, and now, although
the corridors and underground pass
ages are thoroughly lighted by cleo
tricity, the good old custom is still
respected by the guardsmen, who yet
carry lanterns in their hands.
In the days of the Stuarts it was the
custom, when the inspection had been
finished, for the lord chamberlain to
dispatch message to the king by a
mounted soldier to the effect that it
would be entirely safe for him to at
tend the opening session of parlia-
ment. Nowadays the mounted SOL
der is no longer seen riding post
haste to the king; but the vice-cham-
berlain still sends the traditional mes
sage to his majesty by private wire
and the king is assured that there are
no explosives in the cellars and that
he will not be exposed to unusual
risks if he chooses to meet his lords
and commons. The king may not
have the remotest notion of opening
parliament, but the message is sent
just the same, and it is duly received

How to Estimate Number In a Review

How to Estimate Number In a Review.

Old Swan Lake
By Joseph Andrews
NO. XV

My next and last call was on
on this editor of the Viborg En-
terprise, who | found busy at
his desk, aud with whom l en-
joyed a pleasant half hour chat.
I also met for the first time his
most estimabie helpmate, Mrs.
Widlon. Mr.. Widlon, when his
new press is installed, will have
one of the best equipped print
ing offices in the state. and lie
knows kow to get out a good
paper. He believes in the future
of the town which is making a
steady and healthy growth.
Retracing my steps from vi
borg | had the good luck to be
picked UP by Mr.. Wray of Hur
ley and enjoyed an auto ride of
two miles to the home of Charlie
Aalburg wtles e spent the night.
Mr.. and Mrs. Aalhurg were
close neighoors of mine in Spring
Valley some twenty years ago.
They owned for several years
the farm now occupied by How
ard Thompson. They gave me
a pleasant welcome and l enjoy
ed my overnight visit with them
very much indeed. They have
several children, three of whom
are living at home.
[ also met here Miss Annie
Larsen, a brigh, capable looking
young lady who is teaching the
Aalborg school. She is the
daughter of Mes Larson pros
porous farmer living a few miles
southwest Of Viborg. Nels used
to work for me on the farm
about twenty five years ago and
[ was very glad to meet the
daughter Of my old friend who
was a motherless babe the last
time I saw her some twenty
years ago.
Mr.. Alborg is the son of Chris
Aalborg who was one cf the pi-
oneers of Swan Lake township
He and his wife have both been
dead for qaite a long time. They
raised up a large family of
children and all, 1 think, were
members of the Advent church.
They were all good citizens and
the world was made better by
their living. I think that the
children are all living but all
but Charles have moved away.
Mr.. Aalborg was carpenter by
trade and in the summer of 1873
helped to build Aurners fine
new house.
