n c. V. says: Dealer bids heart
which his partner takes him out of with
no trump. What should the dealer do
when he holds seven hearts to the ace
king and not another trick in his hand
anywhere? lie understands that the take
out denies the hearts. but his partner may
have couple OF little ones to lead.
The correct call Is TO go back to the
hearts 1t must not be forgotten that
the partner who goes no trumps has no
reason to credit the dealer with anything
but an average declaration. say five hearts
to two honors. with n trick or so on the
side. The return TO the suit will advise
him that the heart holding is much above
average. and with no trumper for the
dummy it should go game on the play.
As the no trump takeout cannot be based
on 100 aces 1t must be on strength in
the other three suits and short hearts.

2 as his cards stand. but has only 3 IL

The usual plan is TO let each player

left that player becomes the winner and
any further additions by following play
ers in turn must be made to the new low

the winner. Should an intervening player
have failed to beat the original caller
he cannot now add to the layout OF the
new winner, having made his dscards

NOVEL POINTS OF THE LAW.

Judge Bleckley of the Georgia Supreme

The demurrer signifies some objection
to the prayer OF the bill There Is. indeed,
a profusion OF prayer. Not only earnestly
ana devoutly does the complainant pray.
but he prays comprehcnslvely. lie wants
RELIEF. and much OF II. lie seems to ask
for everything that he can think OF and
then to throw In general petition TO
cover oversights. Overzealous perhaps,
he hurries into some Inconsistencies. and
possibly no court can grant all he begs
Tor But a sutton is not to be turned out

bill was dismissed. The supplicant was

the train from being stopped without the
violent means employed and also costing
the pedestrian his life. The court said:
Upon the evidence In this record II

The late Senator Bradley of ken
lucky was passing through one of the
doors into the Senate one afternoon
when Reed Smoot of Utah came gallop-
ing past him with head erect and eye
a-glitter with the excitement OF It all.
Bradley stood looking at Smoot for
some moments and then to a bystander
remarked:

walker Of this store has arrived. wa

Representative Ben Johnson of Ken

he was constantly being imposed upon
by Heople who took up his time with
out Llvng him much reward,
one old chap used to come In about
twice week to have legal chores
performed aud Johnson never charged
him anything. But the old man never
failed to make a bluff OF putting his
hand in his pocket and inquirinS;
"Wcll. how much do owe you, Benz"
knowing we'll enough that johnson
would say: "Oh that's all right"
Now Johnson didn't mind doing all
this work for nothing, but he got tired
OF having the old chap work that blum
on him. one morning the old fellow
reached into his pocket and asked how
much he owed for legal services Just
as n charity worker entered the office.
"Oh. | guess s25 will he about right"
was the startling reply.
The client was game and paid il.
whereupon Ben tossed 1t over 10 tho

spades to the queen ten. three hearts to

theory?
There IL no object in calling suit
fourth hand unless two conditions can he
fulfilled. II the dealer goes back to his
no trumper and the suit called by fourth
hand Is led II should be good enough to
save the game under ordinary conditions.
II the caller Is left with 1t he should he
able to make his contract, or at least to
lose not more than a trick or two That
the hand given comes up to neither OF
these conditions IL evident and the bid OF
two royals is absurd.
J. G. r. says: The bid ls four hearts,
doubled and redoubled The declarer
wins small slam. what Is the score
for his side?
Each trick over the book IL worth
four times Its normal value toward game.
SIX hearts at so a trick IN 1872 below the
line. The redouble makes the fulfilled
contract worth 100 bonus In honors and
100 for each of the two over tricks 800
above the line. besides honors as held.
