- y NI.fl W. PEARSON proved
~ Yesterday afternoon that he can
successfully adapt his game to any
style that an opponent may attempt
on the squash racouets court. While
few thought that Hewitt Morgan had
a chance TO defeat the Racquet Club
aud Germantown star. it was generally
believed that the New Yorker would
make Pearson hustle to win the finals
for the national championship. In
short, Morgan was the dark horse OF
the tournament, but after his clash
with the PhiladClphian it could be dis
rcrned clearly by the vcriest novice that
he was lucky to place. even in dual
combat.
Morgan attempted in the first game
10 tnesSc his way to victory But
Pearson always had just little bit
NOR" than his opponent. The New
Workers. soft. corner shots were
matched and beaten by Pearson. who
not only was able to eclipse Morgan
at that style Of game. but at every
other hr attempted.

The Chinese were long credited
with the invention of gunpowder. but
not long ago evidence was adduced to
indicate that this Is a mistake, and
that the Arabians did not, as common
ly supposed, introduce gunpowder into
Europe during the eighth and ninth
centuries, says the Washington Star.
1t is believed by the most competent
authorities now that the manufacture
Of the first gunpOwder was based upon
the Fire Book" of Marcus Graecus,
which appeared In Constantinople
about the middle of the thirteenth
century. This was the source from
which Roger Bacon, Albertus Magnus
and Thomas Aquinas derived their
knowledge of gunpowder. The first
use of gunpOwder to drive projectiles
Is ascribed to monk, Berthold
Schwartz, whose discovery was made
accidentally while preparing the mix
ture for medicinal purposes.

MATTER OF LUCK
Odd Ways by Which Property
Has Been Disposed Of.
Distribution Left to Whim of Cards
Will Written on Shirt Cuff
Found i'm Books.

1.-The Pack of Cards Case" was re-
ferred to in Justice Bargrave Deane's
court the other week and it is one of
the most remarkable of what may be
termed haphazard requests, a writer
in London Answers observes. The
testatrix, suffering from a paralyt1c
stroke, had a pack of cards dealt to
her by her solicitor bearing the names
of her relatives. On another pack
were details of her various properties.
The solicitor dealt her a card with
the name of a person, and she played
to it card with an item of her estate
on it. The solicitor gathered the trick,
and the trick was done; but whether
everybody was satisfied that they were
lucky at cards is another matter.
A man who was found in a dying
condition, having met with gun acct-
dent while out shooting alone, had
written his last will and testament on
his shirt cuff with a fountain pen. 1t
was duly signed and as its provisions
were very simple and its intention OBJ
viously sincere, it passed muster with
out any difficulty.
Shipwrecked sailors have made their
wills upon the most strange things
empty meat-tins, the SOleS of their
boots, a dkerchief-anything they
could lay their hands on at the last
moment.

wrote his will on the stump of tree.

coffin, the cheapest cemetery, like a
pauper. No flowers, no wreaths, no
speeches, without priests or liturgy if
possible"
Book collectors occasionally come
across strange finds. On one of the
bookstalls by the side of the Seine a
bOOk-lOver found two pages of an old
volume stuck together He opened
them carefully and found three bank
notes for 1000 francs each; also a note
which read as follows:
Friend, whoever thou art, be lega-
tee without remOrse of this little for
tune. 1t is all my pen has brought
me in 80 years. May the muses. be
more favorable to thee, for thou art
surely a man of letters" Then fol-
lowed the writer's initials and the
date.
But the most haphaZard will on rec
ord was the one which said: II own
II pairs of trousers. 1t is my desire
that they be sold by public auction,
and that the product of their sale be
distributed among the deserving poor.
They must be sold to the highest bid
ders, but no one must be allowed to
purchase two pairs.
The II pairs of pants were knocked
down to as many bidders, and the
proceeds handed over to the parochial
authorities for distribution A few
days after the sale one of the buyers
took it into his head to examine his
purchase more carefully, and he found
stitched securely in the waistband a
small canvas bag containing ten $1OC
notes.
The tidingS of this amazing diScOv.
cry spread like wildfire, and each
fortunate possessor of the dead mans
pants was rejoiced to find his closer
investigation rewarded by a sum equiv.
alent to f2OO.

Did you ever hear the "welkin ringY
You probably did not. But this com
binatiOn is the only phrase in which
the word "welkin" occurs In the mod
ern language. The word Is derived
from the AnglO-Saxon "wOlcen," q
cloud. There is a theory that the
word 'wolcen" itself is derived from
the Anglo-Saxon "wealcan," to roll. AZ
q substantive "welkin" Is used, or was
used by the forefathers of the Eng.
lish part of us, to denote the sky OF
the vault Of heaven. The first poet
who made the 'welkin ring" used q
striking figure of speech. Through
frequent repetitions, however. the ex.

New York.-A bOotlegging organic
manufactures Illicit liquor of all kinds,
bottles them under the most sought
after labels and sells them in fragrant
violation Of the law throughout the en-
tire country has been discovered in
this city.
That is the announcement of E.. G.
Yellowley, associate enforcement di-
rector, sent mere recently from Wash
tngton. Yellowley announced that he
has already arrested one of the organ
izatiOn's headquarters men and that
he expects TO catch a number OF 9th
ers in the net he has spread with little
Delay. The entire band, he says, is
under surveillance.
The New York organization, Yellow
ley said, is a huge bar, the brass rail
OF which extends around the nation.
Any brand of drink is obtainable, for
the organization does its own manu-
featuring, according to demand.
Most of the liquor obtainable
throughout the country has it's source
in the plants Of this organization, he
said. Comparatively little is actually
struggled in.
The organization is a difficult one
to trace inasmuch as it operates
through wholesale druggists who pur-
port to be honest and in business in
accordance with prohibition enforce
ment laws. Hundreds Of illicit whole
sale druggists have established them
selves in business with government
permits, Yellowley said, ostensibly do
ing a legitimate buiness in all kinds
of drugs.
when we have cleaned out these
Illicit wholesale druggists the work of
enforcing prohibition will be easy"
he said. Virtually all of the liquor
now in circulation in New York comes
from this source. 1t is also shipped
to other parts Of the country.
