When z dealt, and started with one

IN AS cards some passed and some
i'd two clubs on Y7s hand. Some passed
and some bid hearts on BIS hand. The
iarying bids seem to have resulted In
four ways. The dealer got 1t at no

bird hand got 1t at two clubs and made
Inly four tricks. The second player gos
Il at spades and made four odd and
same. The fourth hand got 1t at hearts
snd made little slam.
To begin with, the cards in rs hand
are not strictly up to the modern no
trump standard, because there is no

calls clubs Readers of THE SUN may
find it interesting TO study out the best
bidding and play for themselves.

nearly full of worms and went to the
lake to fish for pike. He anchored bis
rowboat near Lone Bar and proceeded
to fish.
Late in the afternoon Within placed
his catch in bag, picked up the can,
which has half-full of angleworms, and
threw it into the water. He says that
when the can struck the water large
fish jumped out, hit the can with It's
tail. and the can filled with water and
sank.
A few days later Wiffin again went
to the lake to fish. He anchored his
boat so rods from shore and had fshed
for nearly an hour when he discovered
tin can floating on the water. The
peculiar motion Of the can attracted
his attention, he says, and he rowed
the boat to it, and with landing net
scooped the can into the boat. Great
was his surprise, he says, when he
raised the can from the water to see a
large fish with its head in the can. Z

RAIL RATES ON LIVE STOCK
ARE LOWERED BY COMMISSION

Bismarck.-The state railway COM
mission Monday announced a consid-
cradle reduction in rates on cattle,
hogs and horses between points with
in the state. These rates became
effective July Is. A standard car Of
cattle may now move 100 miles for
$41.SO; 200 miles for $3.50, and 800
miles for $61.6O. The old rates were
$4S.2O for 100 miles; 500 for 200
miles, and $7s for 800 miles.
"A standard car of hogs may now
move 100 miles for $3.50; 200 miles
for $46.75, and 800 miles for $56.95.
The old rates were $48.2O, $64 and $78
respectively.
While these rates represent quite
a reduction. announces the commits
sion, and while they will save the
shippers of the state considerable
money, they Fare still considered too
high by the commission, which de-
clares it will approve of no rates in
excess of those prescribed in House
Bill AZ, enacted by the last legisla-
ture. Distance tariffs made effective
by this act are about 500 lower than
those which the federal railway adj
ministration has had in force in North
Dakota for more than year.

the oldest fertilization in the city, was
erected near the close of the sixteenth
century. Shortly afterward, Philip
the Second of Spain ordered the con-
struction of the Punta and MORO
forts, for the protection Of the har-.
Dor, and at about the same time the
official residence of the governor OF
the island was transferred from San
tiago de Cuba to Habana.
In 1850, the population of Habana
was hardly more than three thousand,
but in the following two or three dec

migration of Spaniards from Jamaica.
During this period, the city rose to be
the commercial center of the Spanish
American possessions, and the princi-
pal rendezvous of the royal fleets that
carried on the trade monopoly between
Spain and America. The walls in
closing the city were commenced In
1871 and finished 30 years later.

1RiBUTE 70 FRENCH WOMAN
American Traveller Tells % Her osod
Qualities and the Great Debt The
Nation Owes Her.

The French woman 10 brought up to
neglect none of the arts that attract
men. Even in munition plants the
woman worker knows where the mir
ror hangs. often has her powder puff
at hand, and gives unconsciously the
deft touch to the hair, writes Lyman
Powell in the Designer. II it has
sometimes seemed to us that the
French wife overlooks too easily the
Inconsistencies of husband, 1t 10 be-
cause we have failed to understand
that French wssinen are expected to
keep themselves so attractive to the
mate after marriage as well as before
that he will not want to wander over
fields.
II II be asked what woman Is suf-
ficient all through life for the double
duty Of being a. good wife and . good
mother. l name you France. and add
that French women are in this regard
the marvel of their sex and the strong
est bulwarks Of monogamy.
And all talk about the lower birth
rate In France is beside the mark. The
child is held SO precious in the French
mind that he usually remains q dream
child till the right conditions are In
sight for his upbringing. If allowance
be made for that fringe Of the unpro-
ductiye found in every land, It u
doubtful whether the birth rate among
the high-minded and responsible Is
lower over there than over here.
The French woman cannot be sum-
med up in a phrase. Contrary to the
general opinion, she is simple, practi-
cal, sensible, tenacious, deliberate,
cautious, farsighted and affectiOnate.
She is sensitive but not sentimental.
She is talkative but not superficial.
She is ebullient but enduring. She is
a compound of heart and head, which
explains Joffre, Petain, Foch and the
Poilu. who have fought these four
years past our battle as well as their
own and have been the surprise of

ton Of the foe.
