ON rTs MERITS.

Inc NOrtn DakOta senate has one
contested election case to determine.
Is it possible to have that case decid-
ed on its merits?
There was a contest two years ago
over a seat in the house, the case aris-
ing in Sargent county. There was no,
dispute as to the facts in the case. The
contestant in that a demanded that
the vote OF the village of Forrnan be
rejected on the ground that the cleo
ton officials in that precinct had clos
&c the doors of the polling place and
excluded the public during the count
That fact was admitted; but it was
shown that in this action the election
board was obeying the orders of the
local health authorities who, because
Of the prevalence Of influenza, had
sought to prevent public gatherings
wherever possible. Orders to this eff
feet had been served on the election
board and, with the understanding
that these orders must be obeyed, the
public was excluded. The law, Of
course, requires ballots to be counted
in public.
The village Of Forman had given
one candidate a sufficient majority
to overcome an adverse majority in
the rest of the district, and the rejec-
ton of the village. vote would give the
other candidate a majority. It was
for this purpose that the contest was
brought. 1t vas not charged that the
votes were not properly cast and accu-
rately counted. 1t was mot charged
that there had been fraud anywhere.
On the contrary, it was specifically
admitted that there had been no
fraud, actual or attempted. Yet on
that technicality the village of Forman
was disfranchised and the Townley
contestant was seated.
In the present case it is charged
that there were fraudulent practices
ain connection with the election, and
that because of these practices the
man to whom the certificate Of cleo.
ton was issued was given a majority,
on the face of the returns. Is there
such q thing as getting a decision in
this case on its actual merits? Prob
ably not. The same influences that
demanded q partisan vote two years
ago regardless Of the facts, will de-
mand similar action now.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

@. What is meant by "finesse?"
A. Artifice, stratagem, skill, dexter
ity. Finessing at Auction-that is, to
use artifice or skill to accomplish some
end. For instance. an attempt to win
with a card lower than, and not in Sc
quence, with the highest ca,d in the
hand. trusting the missing high card
or cards are held by the adversary
who has already played, and not by
the adversary who plays after Declar-
ant or Dummy.
@. Suppose, in a new game or love
score, the dcclarar who has bid three
spades has about exhausted the possi-
bilities of his cards after winning eight
tricks. and has the lead in his own
hand with Ace and Queen of the same
in the Dummy. What should he play
A. One more trick will fulfill his
contract. Two will give him game.
The development of the play has shown
TINT the adversaries will make the
rest of the tricks whenever they OBJ
tain the lead, and consequently, if he
illnesses and loses, the eight tricks
already taken will be all he will score

How to ''Handle''
Others Depends Upon
Kind Of Approach

We read the other day that there are
three ways of dealing with children.
Some children respond best t. direct
commands, others to suggestion and
others to the rational or explain every
thing method, says the Delineatur. We
wonder if the same classification does
not apply tc every one with whom one
has to deal There are people to whom
a direct command is almost ali insult.
We all know them in school, office Or
home. On the other hand. there is
nothing more irritating, when you are
accustomed to taking definite orders,
than to be approached SO giLgcrly and
Gelicately that you have no idea If what
is wanted. Women whose experience
in a Iministration has been My with

work with. They seem to know no me-

Uncrowded Wall
a ReStfuI Effect

! Sometimes certain bit Of wall space
/ in a room will offer a problem as to
what will best serve as decoration
| for it. An empty wall up until com,
paratiyely short while ago was looked
upon as something of which to pc
ashamed, says Dorothy Ethel Walsh I'D
| the Chicago News. Small pictures
were pressed into service to fill al un-
occupied areas and the result was
confusing mass Of paintings, photo
graphs and prints, not any one OF when
was able to show to advantage.
Nowadays, however, the average
Ihousekeeper knows the restful effect
of an uncrowded wall. True, some PIC
lures are still preferred by many peo-
pie to bare walls. but these same are
| few in number compared with the old
days vogue, and are arranged with
more respect for the law of balance
and harmony
The wall decorations offer an excel
lent medium through which to intro
duce necessary bits of color cannot be
denied, and that is the way in which
wall decorations should be utilized in
the average home. Not entirely as col
or units, but as decorative units, for
few lovely pictures grouped will be dec
orative; if color is also worked into the
scheme the walls will take their place
as part Of the rooms furnishings in
harmony with its entire scheme.
If you have decided to eliminate pic
lures from your room and find your
self confronted with the problem OF
having to introduce color into certain
portion Of the room, the wall may offer
the only possible place for it. Colorful
ideas they are, which may be used on
one wall without seeming to call for
the other walls to be decorated.
A unique wall decoration consists OF
a piece of blue silk, with Chinese de-
sign in blue and gold. The piece of silk
may have gold colored tassels and thus
hold the entire scheme more closely
knit together.
Another lovely wall piece is the
plaque made of wood with bright-col-
ored flowers on it. One particularly
attractive one seen recently was an oval
Of black wood and on it in bas- relief
was an urn. In this urn was placed
bunch of the parchment flowers which
afe enjoying such vogue at present.
This bunch of flowers was fastened at
the stems under the urn and then free
to spread out little against the black
background.
Much the same effect as far as color
values were concerned was accom-
plished by certain woman with an ar
tistic eye. A length of black velvet
served as the background and q yellow
wallpocket was secured and hung
against the velvet Artificial or pre-
pared flowers were the next purchase
and when these were placed in the wall
pocket the result was truly charming.

MESSIAH" FIRST
GIVEN FOR CHARITY
IN DUBLIN, 1742
HandeFs Oratorio to Be Sung
in Great Falls Has In
teresting History.

"Something would be missing IN
Christmas festivities if the oratorio
of the Messiah had never been writ
ten" says d. E. Wheeler in Edison S
musical magazine. Along Broadway
THE Messiah will be given in Great
Falls Thursday evening, December ~.
at the First Presbyterian church. Each
wear, with the coming of the great holl-
day. there is bubble of preparation
in n thousand towns over some planned
production Of the Messiah Small
country churches give it to the best OF
their ability. and the great chorai
bodies in big cities make OF It truly
MAGNIFICENT performance. Musicaiiy,
this greatest of all oratorlos is al
most as well-known as the Bible itseh,
from which its text was taken.
sic of the Messiah was George
Friedrich Handel, who was born in the
wear 1856, at Halle, in Lower Saxony.
Like many another genius, he showed
his aptitude for the art he was to fol-
low when a mere child. and there is a
we'll known story told of his father,
who had forbidden him to study music.
finding him playing softly on spinet
in the garrett in the middle of the
night. Indeed, it required the inter
cession of the Duke of Saxe-Weissen-
fels with the elder Handel to enable the
young George to study music at all.
Adopted England as Home
After Berlin. Hamburg. Florence,
Venice. Rome and Naples had contrib
uted to his development as musical
artist, Handel journeyed TO England,
and liked that country and its peoVie
so we'll that he elected to live there.
He was then young man in his
twenties, and strange te say, he con-
tinued to live in his adopted country
for the best part of the rest of his
long life. So thoroughly did he come
to identify himself with the English.
that they regarded him rather as one
of their most illustrious sons. and he
is one of the few foreigners buried in
the confines of Westminster Abbey
At first Handel spent his time and
energy ON the production of grand
opera in London. Finally, his health
broke down, and his finances suffered
'rayerses and. in 1877, a bankrupt, he
xopaired to AK la Chapelle in the hope
m kegaining his strength. Prior to his

New York City.-Music publishers
here are interested in new science
which promises to make every song a
hit instead of first q gamble and
perhaps later a flivver. When COM
poser submits pleasing new compo-
sition, the publisher calls in a
psyco-a analyst. has the song tried out
on representative group, and the
psyche analyst checks up the reac-
tions. If his scientific count discerns
antagonistic reactions, the song is
never purchased. If on the other
hand the response is favorable, the
composer is very likely to receive a
pleasant little check. and in a few
weeks the tune will be adorning phono-

Their" Deborah" and Alfalfa" Vary
ing success attended these efforts.
However. on his return to London
from the continent, Handel produced
his fourth oratorio. Israel in Egypt,
which was purported to have been writ
ten in the incredible time of 81 days.
The public received it indifferently, in
spite of its marvellous chorouses. the
like of which had never been heard be-
fore. Then followed his oratorio.
Saul in which the famous Dead
March occurred. Fine as all these
works were, they merely led to the
sublime achievement of his life in the
Messiah which was the next ora
togio Handel composed. According to
the most authentic record, he wrote
this stupendous work in less than a
month. 1t was first performed in
Dublin. Ireland. where Handel went
to visit friends.
First Advertised In i742
The first printed advertisement of
it appears in Faulkner's Journal. is
sued March 81, 1742. and reads as
follows:
Fer the relief of prisoners in the
several goals, and the support of Mer-
GERS hospital in Stephens street, and
of the charitable infirmary on the Inn S
quay. on Monday, the 10Th April. will
be performed at the Musick hall in
Fishamble street, Mr.. Handels new
grand oratorio. called the Messiah,
in which the gentlemen of the choirs
of both cathedrals win assist, with
some concertos on the organ by Mr..
Handel"
There is an amusing ancedote told
in connection with the trying out of
the Messiah parts by the choir at
Chester, where Handel was stormbound
on his journey to Ireland. Among the
Janson. who, when it came to singing
And With His Stripes failed to
read his part correctly. Handel, al
ways easily upset, lost his temper, and
exclaimed in his broken English: ''You
scountre, Did you not tell me dat
you could sing at sighdt ?"
.'Yes, SIR" replied the humiliated
singer "and SO l can; but not at first
sight!'
First Given for Charity
1t is good to think that this great
work of genius. the Messiah" was
first given for the benefit of charity.
No object could have been more fit tor
its premier. I.oudon heard the Mes
siah" for the .irsr time on March o3,
1743. 1t was a historic occasion
The King himself was present at the
time. Tradition says that he rose to
his feet at the singing of the "Halle-
uiah Chorus" custom which has
been often followed at performances
of the oratorio when this tremendously
emotional moment is reached.
This great musical work has been
called a cathedral In one, and we can
think of no more apt description Of it.
Handel himself is reported to have
said when he reached the writing Of
the "Hallelujah Chorus": II did think
did see all heaven before me, and the
good God himself" Handel wrote
many other oratorios after the "Mes-
siah.' but none prior to it or after it
measured up to its subhnlity.
Great Falls tribune., 1921-12-25

1t often happens you can win the
trick with either your own hand or
the Dummy's, in which case you must
be careful to consider these several
points: Which is the longest and
hest suit to play for; which hand can
YOU lead the suit from to the best ad-
vantage, so as to make any flnesse:
and especially, which hand will need
the high cards as re-entry cards!
Should none of these considerations
seem important, it is generally better
to play low from Dummy and thereby
force the third hand.
This leads to the "finesse one OF
the most important plays of this most
interesting. intricate game.
In Auction, only Declarant should
finesse in his own hand Or in Dunn
my's. ....
When Declarant and Dummy, to-
pether, have nine or more cards IN a
suit, with Ace and King, it is not wise
to finesse, as the remaining four cards
may be equally divided between the
adversaries and Will fall On the Two
high cards led.
From any Of the following comDina-
tions divided between the two hands.
the % lead should always be the highest
card in the weaker hand lin the first
column) to tbs lowest card from the
longer or stronger holding Tin the 9TH
er column. For example, in the first
combination--Jack,1 10, and one smaller
card-lead the Jack and do not cover,
thereby finessing Jack, trusting that
the Queen is held by right-hand adj
yersary. If the Jack wins the trick,
lead the ten, again finessing until the
Queen must be played from right hand
adversary, then cover Queen with Ace.
