A FRIENDLY TURN.

T 7 AND"ART Of a familiar sort-a
pair ~ high wheels with a long
platform OF stats resting on the
axle between and a crcssbar at one
end for handle. A man stands in
back of the crossbar and breasts II to
propel the vehicle.
The handcart piled high with big
bags filled with waste paper coming
up wall street from Nassau to Broad
way; big. cumbersome. heavy load
that would have been hard to handle
anywhere and that was doubly hard
10 handle here up this slope The
hdndcart man had 10 bend over tho
bar and tug and push with al! his
might 10 keep the load moving at all.
" h" had been a man disposed To re-
hectlon, "a perhaps he was, he might
have thought that his was a pretty
hard lot.
Coming up behind him was a driver
with a. big double truck, empty, with
pair OF big horses. and when this
driver saw what was ahead he started
up his team a little and sklfully set
the end OF the pole square in the
middle Of the rearmost centre bag on
the best advantage and yet without
disturbing the load. Then he hogan
pushing, starting the handCart up the
hill.
OF course this took the strain off
the handcart man instantly; all he
had to do now was to stand up and
hold on to the handle har and keep
the handcart straight. The big horses
behind with tho friendly driver were
doing the pushing, and so, far more
easily than he had ever expected. he
made his way up the rest of the slope
and around to the comparatively easy
level of Broadway.
AS he navigatcd his load through
the traffic there it Is not impossible
that there came To him another re-
f"Ction. His was hard lot, uo doubt,
lint had there not lust come To him
most unexpectedly that welcome help
up thu Wall street hill? And vino
could tell? Might It not he that some
equally unexpected turn would some

There are no trumps and z Ia in the
lead. Y and u want seven tricks
against any defence.
The solution is for 2 TO start With
two rounds Of spades. upon which Y
dLscards two small clubs. ON the frst
spade trick y plays the seven. On tho
second he may play the eight. leaving
A with the high spade, or he may keep
the eight
II A is left with the high spade after
two rounds z cannot lead q third. or A
will lead the eight OF clubs. and n Y
passes II up TO rs nine must lose a
diamond or heart. perhaps both. II
wins the eight Of clubs and makes
the seven. Il will be ready 20 cover the
eight OF diamonds with the nine, 50
that Il must lose q trick in ono Of the
red suits.
To provide against this z IL compelled
to shift and lead the nine OF clubs for
the third trick, which Y allows to hold.
y discardng the losing spade. The
next lead IS the ten OF hearts, upon
which let's go small diamond. Now
"a small spade throws into tho lead.
discarding a club and Y heart
A diamond Is obviously fatal for A
at this stage. as IL would allow the ten
and eight to make separately and give
a club trick. would cover the seven
with the eight or the five with tho ak.

practice existing in the army was that the actual number of troops in ach Ying (military camp) was never in accordance with the number paid for by the government; and the of ficers appropriated the surplus. Peo- pie are not at all surprised at such irregularities, as they had become common habits. The financial condi- tion of the nation became worse, while the discipline of the army was hope lessly eeglected.
 q, the President, once created and trained a modern army, and all form CT corruptions were wholly swept away. But after the Revolution there was trouble everywhere, and chiefs of political parties and arrogant com manders became presumptuous with their military backing. In the morn ing they enrolled vagabOnds in the streets and in the evening they claim ed to have created an army. AL though the number was less than a thousand it was proclaimed to be more than ten thousand. When the time came for disbandnent of troops large sums of money were demanded from the government. l, the Presi- dent, being unwilling to see the peo- ple suffer the consequences of further rebellion, reluctantly complied with their demands. Thus order and peace were maintained. But when we think of it we are still grieved. Now,
