.DOINGo THE COUNTRY

Wars in which the United States is involved have had foul scandals caused by the greed of those who have sought to fat ten dishonesty upon the needs Of the nation. Now 1t. appears that even a war still entirely outside of the American sphere of action prompts raids upon the peoples pockets through the agency of the federal government itself.
 The Wall street Journal points out that the terms Of the Shoot silver purchase bill passed by the senate in August would virtually make a present, at the cost Of the taxpayers Of the country, of no less than $S7S,25O to the silver mining interests Of the mountain states. It would give them almost six cents an ounce more, for 15,- 00O,OOO ounces of silver, than they have been getting from other buy CTS or from the federal government itself. ..--.r,.,....,s.
 This made-in-Utah bill provides that the I5,OO0,OOO ounces of sil- yer shall be purchased at the aver age price prevailing from January Is to June 15, 1914. That aver age price was about 57.s5 cents an ounce. For the last two weeks the miuts and the Uni;ed states assay offices have been buying sil- yer at 52 cents an ounce. That Is what foreign governments are paying now.
 In other terms, the taxpayers are to be compelled, if the Smoot bill shall become a law, to give nearly Six cents an ounce, on 15,0O0,OOO ounces of silver, to mine Owners who arc "desirouO" of keeping miners employed. Win the House pass this bill? If it does, will the president sign it?

CURIOUS CARD TRICK.

lt Deals With odd Numbers, and the
 Explanation Is a Mystery.
 There is a puzzle which may be per formed with any odd number of ob jects, playing cards being usually em ployed. and which any one can do, but no one seems able to explain the req son for 1t. Let us suppose the number selected to be twenty-seyen cards, al though fifteen or tweuty-one would do just as well.
 After having them shufled hold them In the left hand face upward and then deal them face upward one at time In three piles so that the fourth card comes on the first and the fifth on the top of the second and so on until you have three piles of nine cards each.
 Request any person who Is watching YOU to make a silent note of any card he pleases, and when you have finished dealing to tell you in which pile the card lies. By picking up the three piles again one at a time as before, the not ed card will reappear. Ask in which pile 1t came that time and place that pile in the middle as before.
 Upon dealing the cards into three piles for the third time note carefully the card that comes In the middle of each pile. With twenty-seven there will be nine in each pile and the fifth will be the middle card. Now, when the person who selected the card names the pile in which his card comes you will know It was the middle card of that pile. With this knowledge in your possession you can finish the trick in any manner you please.
 This IS only a statement of results, but what Is the explanation or reason for it? What Is the rule that makes 1t always come out right. regardless of the number of objects used. so that 1t Is Odd?-NeW York Sun.
