CHECKER BINDINGS.
The solution Of problem No. 35i will
probably give some Of the cracks quite
a shock. a. many Of them thought Il
could be solved in two moves. The
difficulty Of the situation was limited al
when the problem was given. and mem.
bers OF THE Sun Checker Club were
asked II they could see the solution
Many Of them saw the two moves that
do not quite solve.
Here is the distribution Black mer

and win. The easy win seemed
to be this:
White. Black.
22-1s S.

This wins the man on Z. IL black
plays Iii. instead OF 2O-i6, Their

But all this can be headed of by
black playing Ill for his second move
and In answer to s-l2 playing 9-l4
1t is quite true that he loses the mar

for II, and a drawn game. The correc,
solution Is not quite % simple az thar
but involves very careful man9uvrins
on whites part to let black get a kim
and then get the move on him. The
student will observe that white has no
the move at the start and must force ar

1t is good some times to give a
fellow time to ponder over his career
In the rushing, busting life that
many lead, little time is given to
thought of self and what that self is
doing. For instance, Matt Read, who
was convicted in Federal court al
London for selling whisky at June.
ton, might have gone on in his ne
farious work had not the strong arm
of Uncle Sam called him to halt. HJ
is now doing time in the London jail
and, according to his own statement
which he asks the Interior Journal to
print, has become much changed for
the better. He says in that statement
that he will never again handle or
drink whisky and will otherwise lead
a better life. Worse men than Matt
have turned over a new leaf and kept
the pledge to do better things. Let us
join in the hope that he is sincere. He
alone knows whether or not he is. He
should be given benefit of the doubt
any way, but his promises should not,
and will not, effect his sentence. He
has sinned grievously and should pay
the penalty. After he is out of con-
finement he will have abundant OPP
portunity to prove to a patient pub
lie whether his change is of the last
ing sort, or is an effort to gain Glenn
ency from the powers that be.

their wake were carried away. The
water from the hillside west of Yose-
mite came down and filed the streets
of that town to a depth of at least
two feet. Albert Pixies barn, on the
hill east of Yosemite, was blown
down. Flowed land suffered greatly
and in some instances corn fields were
completely ruined.
The storm came near putting the
Sunday Schools out of business here
Sunday morning. There were only
So present at the Baptist church and
some of them were not regular at
tendants.
Mrs. W. T. Jasper, Miss Ruby Lee
Fogle, and Messrs. o. X. and Alfred
Luster took the teachers eXamina-
ton at Liberty Friday and Saturday.
Rev. W. Beagle will take charge
of the pastorate, by preaching at the
Baptist church on the second Sunday

anxious for the time to arrive.
We had occasion last week to spend
day with Mr.. and Mrs. Smith 7.
Powell, near Hustonville, that we en-
joyed greatly. Mr.. Powell was com
paratively a stranger to us, tho he
was not long in pursuading us that
he is a born gentleman. Mrs. Powell,
who was Miss Lille T. Wells, before
marriage, has lost none of her kindly
disposition that has characterized
her since childhood. They have two
bright little boys, whom they are en-
deavoring to bring up right and their
home appears to be altogether hap
by one. Mr.. Powell is raiser of fine
horses and has two colts. one by AL
mont Dare, his famous stallion, and
the other by All Peavine, that are real
beauties; in fact, as nearly perfect as
| il is possible to make them.
