Furthermore, Denver. after having
spent 50 much money in her own mount
ain parks system, and intending the ex
penditure of many hundreds of thous-
an of dollars additional, is fairly en-
| titled to ask the support of the entire
state in the creation and improvement
of the Denver National park. This
national park is neces sary to supple
ment and complete the municipal park
system. The attractiveuess of tn
municipal system will be increased
many times by the establishment of the
national park. Denver's park system
is cut off at the west by the government
owned land in the Mount Evans region.
The local park system cannot expand
without government aid through
national park. After all, Denver's
system is simply in the foot ills. 1t is
a good start towards big idea, but the
plan cannot be complete nor really at.
tractive until the magnificent boule-
wards built ~ Denver are extended to
and through the high slopes of the
Mount Evans region. 1t has been said
that the scenic wonders in the Mount
Evans region are as much greater than
the view from the famous Lookout
Mountain drive as that drive is as much
finer than would be ride in the sand
dunes of Eastern Colorado.
So it is q case where Denver asks
help from Clear Creek, jefferson and
Park counties, and teels confident that
her request will not be unavailing.
Denver has shown her good faith by
spending, already. four hundred thous.
and dollars in her Mountain Parks not
one dollar of which has been spent in
Denver, but all of which has been spent
in the atove mentioned counties. The
road building done has been of very
much benefit to these counties. The
extension of the road work in m nd will
be Of greater benefit. Already thous-
ands Of tourists have been attracted to
these counties, and thousands more
will be attracted as the work progresses,

When once tourist is given a taste of
mountain life. the appetite for more is
whetted. 1t frequently follows that
where tourist h las visit ed the Mountain
Parks. he at once determines to extend
mis- travels IN the mountains. So while
the enlargement and increased attrac-
tiveness OF the Denver Mountain Parks
system IS valuable to Denver it will
be valuable to lear Creek, Jeffer on
and Park counties, and, indeed, to all
the counties Of the state. 1t is upon
this basis of mutual benefit that we ask
mutual cooperation.

Few More Kicks May Bring the Butter

Two little frogs went on a spree
And both got drunk as drunk could be.
When they got home and went to sleep
They were SO tired they couldn't peep.
Then came along farmers lad
Who spied the frogs (Oh.i it was sad);
lie scooped them up in tin pan
And threw them in milkman's can,
The can filled up. the lid jammed down,
They soon were started off to town.
The frogs began to cry and quake,
But sobered up on cold milk shake
Said one young frog "Oh! this is tough,
l think of life I've had enough
''Tut, tut my lad" the other cries.
"A frogs not dead until he dies:
Let's keep on kicking, that's my plan,
We yet may see outside this can
No use no use, faint heart replied,
Turned up his toes and quickly died.
The other frog was dauntless still,
And kept on kicking with will,
Until with JOY too great to utter
He found he'd churned lump of butter,
And then upon this isle of grease
He hoated round with greatest ease
When times are hard, no trade in town
Don't get discouraged and go down
Just keep on top, no murmur utter
A few more kicks may bring the butter.

and AT several tables Y took a chance
that he had the diamonds oppcd with
four 1" the ten and went no trump. At
on" tables Il went two spades against
the no trunlper and lost by II, through
VS. use of the down-and-out echo in
high cards.
II led a small heart and Y put on the
king, iNturning ia. queen, instead of
the usual win with the queen and re.
turn Of the King. This induced u to
overiakc the second lead with the ace
and give y a run. whcreupon Y laid
down the Ne of clubs and saved the
game right there.
At another table Y did not play down.
and-out on the hearts, 80 that Il did
not over,ake the second round hut Y
had the nerve to lead his smallest club
and Il won il with the Jack. making the
a." of hearts and giving y a run on the
fourth heart.
But the interesting play was at one
table at which Y was left 10 play the
no trumper and b led the king Of
diamonds. his partners declared suit. \
let 1t hold. thinking y had another, and
Il shifted to the eight of spades. ON
this card \ started u Foster echo with
the seven, his second best.
Y Won the spade with tho lack and
got ont of dumny's way by laying down
the two hearts. Then he led three
rounds of clubs. putting u in. on the
second club \ discarded the losing
heart. bn the third club he completed
his echo in spades, dropping the six.
This marks him with one higher ;nan
the seven and one lower than the six,
and places Y with the lone king.
u "~lcNerly avoids the loss Of two
heart tricks, or a heart and p club, by
picking M the spade king with the acc.
\ unlocking with the nine. and then
leading tn" deuce of spades TO AS trey,
so that \ made all the rest Of the
diamonds and set the no trumpcr for
two tricks.
This looks like tho sort OF play that
should cntitl" B To 30 points for saving
two tricks of l25 each. Had two such
tricks won a earnc for his side, they
would have been worth ~, Asuts.
Imagine his astonishmcnt to find that
his good play had gained nothing over
any other table.
u had led the king Of dls monds, Just
the same, hut \ had argued that If Il
had n small diamond to lead they would
all drop in three rounds nyway so A
overlook the king with the ace and led
W more, getting IA heart and club lis

lead the top spade and u made ali i've
in that suit, setting the no trumper
for two tricks just the same.
There is nothing remarkable about

W. diamonds they will all drop is
quite natural and liz one would think
him entitled To any great credit for it.

FIVE JOKERS ARE USED IN
THIS NEW GAME OF POKER

With five playing the odds are about
three to two that there will be at leas:
three jokers distributed among the
players. and Il joker will almost in
variably ante to draw cards.
In order to avoid confusion and OBJ
viatc the necessity for explaining too
much to newcomers, the rules Of the
standard game are adhered to in ali
respects hut One. Some players make
such exceptions as allowing players to
breathe" always an unnecessary con-
cession to cowardicc.
The one exception to the standard
rules of the game is in regard to the
calling of the hands, and this rule Is
intended to add rather to the amuse-
ment of the company than to carry
out any principle Of play.
Instead Of putting mp an amount
sufficient to call. and then letting his
cards speak for themselves. each must
announce In advance what he has, or
thinks he has. before showing IL. II
he has overcal.cd his hand, he must
he corrected 10y the other players: but
If he has undercalled IL he must abide
10y his own estimate of it. provided 1t
is in the cards.
II Is astonishing how often hands
are u~ndercallcd. although there is no
PENALTY for II. unless it loses the pot.
\ player finds himself with a queen
aud two jokers. which he knows Is as
good as three queens. so he antes and
draws tTvo cards. getting a pair Of
Fights. When he declares a queen full
he finds himself beaten by an ace full.
II is then too late 20 mend his decla-
ration To four eights. which is the true
value Of his hand.
\ player holding three jokers drew
the eight and five Of clubs. and seeing
he had an eight fun on fivcs. was abou,
to declare IT. when he realized that he
had four Fights. which he called, only
