Chess. and the Game Of LIE

An Indian philosopher thus describes
chess: 1T is a representative con-
test, a bloodless combat, an image not
only of actual military operation. out
OF that greater warfare. which every
son Of the earth, from the cradle to
the grave, is continually waging-ths
battle Of life" One sees clearly that
even going back TO its birth, the par
allelism between chess and men eX-
lists, for does anybody know just when,
where and how the first man appeared
on earth? Also. is It not fact that
mans attributes and nature have re-
mained unchanged throughout cen
turies, and that chess was played
much in the same way. each chess
man moving in its allotted manner
even five thousand years ago?

Washing by Seesaw

Mrs. Sarah Sewell. an Ohio woman
invented a device which cannot be
called impractical even if at first
blush it does not seem destined to pro
duce an undue amount Of cleanliness
observing her small children at play
on seesaw, the while she worked
hard revolving the mechanism Of
washing machine. she conceived tie
idea Of making the sesaw do the work,
giving her time to enjoy life. And the
limited states Of America sets its sol
emn seal Of approval on this idea, Civ
inc her a patent for combined see

tration of which shows the beauty of
possessing at once several children
and an inventive brain by which they
may be made to wash their own
clothes and at the same time have q

After the vanquished Orientals had
departed, Brockett and Solano pro-
ceeded to investigate the thick en-
velope which Mike McKane had
brought them. The messenger sat by
"a wise little owl and loyal one

tered to and fro, still more or less ex-
cited by the events OF the evening.
A packet of yellow-backed bills was
first brought to light, and then a let

wilkins. Another sheet was next
opened, revealing the handwriting OF
General Cole. which was not unfa-

and then whistled in surprise. Ex-
cepting few unimportant sentences
at the beginning and the close OF the
letters, both were in his own cipher,
and even the addresses upon two
smaller envelopes folded between the
sheets were in the same hieroglyphic
script. Harry rapidly read through
Chief Winkins' letter, and found It TO

in the side. and helped TO drive the
dizziness away. A twisting mass,
Jerking and heaving spasmodically,
carromed against him, upsetting him
for the third time Just as he was re-
gaining his balance. Part Of the mass
came almost under his own face as he
struck the walk. and, even in the dark
ness, he could recognize the features
OF Mr.. Yazimoto, distorted with fury
and with pain. Brockett reached over,

cleaned out in all its pristine radi-

a chance to survey the scene Of bat

INFURIATED DOG KILLS SCORES OF

Half the neigh borhood was out, running through the rain thinly clad, before the solution Of the strange noises. was discovered in the back yard of Kelly Carlos, of SIS Wordin avenue.
 Carlos found a big mongrel dog in a pen where he has been raising bel gian hares, and piled around the seemingly mad dog were belgian hares, some with broken necks, others cheWed to death. Carlos 'snatched the animal by the collar, dragged it out of the pen and having thrust the can inc into his cellar and slammed the door on it. took inventory of his pen of prize Belgians.
 He found that there were 47 dead animals. The dog had broken through a wire screen and torn down the thin little partitions separating the vari- ous pens. While Carlos was taking account of his losses, Mrs. Stefan Christian. who lives acrOs the street at No. 678, was looking into her pens of Belgian hares, and she found that pen containing five had been broken into, and all the occupants had been killed
 The. hares, which are of fine pedi- gree, are valued at $5 each. Carlos is seeking the owner of the dog, today. to claim damages.
