tricks. His partners rebid shows sn
outside trick somewhere, but II i
doubtful where.
b could not quite reach game IN
clubs, although he got within tricl,
OF it, making four-odd. This was
because he did not play the hand as
we'll as he might have done.
q led a heart and dummy trumned
To ruff another heart B put him
self in with a trump and dunr,,,
trumped with the queen. Being un.
able to get in again to give dummy
third ruff without exhaustiny dun,
nly's trunlps, B led three rounds of
diamonds. OF course, Y led tba
trump the moment he got in, and p
had to let the king win or q would
have won trick with the nine. Now
two Of rs aces save the game.
Had B left the heart ruff alone and
started the spades z would have had
to lead something, and no matter
what it was B would be in and
would either have three trumps left
winning the third round with The
king and making all the spades, or
A would have been able to exhaust
the trumps il B was forced a second
time, and could then have led
spade, making little slam in either
case.
The players who did not double on
AS cards, but called the spade, had
no trouble in winning the game, even
after being forced on the first trick
and again on the third. A had
trumps enough left to exhaust both
Y and z, making four clubs and two
diamonds, but having to lose two dia.
nlonds at the end.
The hand contains a useful lesson
in the play. There are only five
spades out against the two hands.
three Of them honors. There are six
diamonds out against them, also
three of them honors. The chance
of making two spades was better
than that Of making one diamond by
establishing the suit.
Here is the solution to problem No
43, given last week, in which hearts
were trumps, 2 to lead, Y and 2 ia
win six tricks.
z leads the trump, A discarding
eight Of diamonds, Y the ten OF
spades. 3 leads small club, which
z wins, leading the six of diamonds.
which Y wins over whatever A plays.
& discarding a club. Y leads the
spade king, on which A sheds a club.
When Y leads the ace of diamonds
e must unguard the clubs or give I'D
the best spade. The rest IS easy.

School for Card PLAYERS

FIVE. In the ordinary game Of csss.no,
court cards take in nothing but cards
of the same denomination.
POKER
Question-We have had some dispute
as to the proper place OF q blaze.
whether it should bs beaten by full
house, or be just below four Of kind.
as there are 624 hands Of four Of
kind; 792 that contain a blaze and
3,74& full hands. Where can these cal
culations be found carried out In de-
tail &c. Y. F.
Answer-In Practical Poker, pub
lished by Brentano, you will find the
correct rank Of all these freak hands,
tigers, blazes, big dogs, and round-the-
corner straghts. They are not reeeg-
nized IN the regular game of poker,
and their rank with regard to the lsgit-
innate hands is largely matter of Aouss
rules.
Question-There is q house rule that
if player splits his opening qualifca-
aon he must announce it Playing with
the joker, A opens, holding three jacks,
the joker and king. He announces he
splits, and draws one card, discRrding
the king. On being called, he says he
split pair of kings; but he now shows
his hand for four jacks. Who wins the
pot TT. r.
Answer-Who wins the pot cannot be
decided until it is known what the
man held who called. The house rules
must decide whether player has split
who still has openers If A says he split
kings, then he ranked the joker as
king and it rsust SO remain. his hand
being just three jacks.

A bids $50, B passes, C bids $50 and

to look for food and he could not
find the way back to his mothers
home.
Struggling on, instead of lying
down and dying as an ordinary child
might have done, he came at last to
village. He dragged his weary
little feet to the door of the first
house he saw and with one last effort
knocked feebly.
A queer little man came to the
door, a man with pincusmon
tackled to his waistcoat and an un-
finished suit of clothes over one
arm.
First the man gave the child food.
Then he made him q bed on cot in
one corner.
Robin was so tired, so much of
his strength had gone in his journey
through the forest that for several
days he behaved much like any tired
boy. The tailor, for such the little
man was, did not believe in giving
something for nothing. Almost at
once he taught Robin to help him in
his work. The boy was quick to
learn. He was interested as long as
it was new to him and he could make
it sort of game.
But as the days went on the tailor
made him do more and more work
and gave him less and less food.
The newness of the shop wore. off.
Every day was more tiresome, and
the man became crosser.
Again Robin Goodfellow ran
away.
This time he knew more. He took
some food with him.
After the first day in the open,
having a delightful time running
and wading and playing among the
trees, Robin at last ate some of the
food he had. Then lying down under
bush he went to sleep.
For the first time in his life he
had most wonderful dreams. They
We're not the dreams of persons who
sleep under roofs, in stuffy rooms.
They We're all mixed with the smell
Of outdoors and peopled with fairies
and lulled with faint music.
When Robin awakened, feeling
better than he ever had in his life
before, he found beside him sort
of magic scroll This was made of
delicate fairy tissue and upon it
We're written verses in pure gold.
AS you may have guessed, the scroll
had been left there by Robins fairy
father.
The verses said that the boy could
have everything in the world for
which he wished. He learned by
reading that he could turn himself
into a horse, a dog, hog or any
thing he wished TO. The golden let
ters went on to say that he must use
his power only to harm knayes and
other wicked people, and told htm
that he must love hospitable people
and help them.
J Robin Goodfellow was SO excited

things he did was to try his power.
Surely enough, it was all true.
Life was changed. 1t was like
starting to live over again. Without
a care in the world Robin Goodfellow
went on his way.
One of the first adventures he had

The Story of Robin GoodfeNou,

ONG ago, when fairies played
4 among the hills and in the
valleys, their king fell in
love with mortal maid. She had
shirnmering curls and deep blue eyes
and was fairer than most girls. Her
parents were poor and lived in
little hut on the edge of forest.
To gather fuel for their hearth fires
the girl had to go into the forest
every day, where she picked up
sticks and as many good sized pieces
of wood as she could carry.
In the forest the fairy king first
saw her and fell in love with her.
He won her, but, like many hus-
bands, he wanted a home of his
own. So he took his bride to
newer, better cottage than that of
her parents, but his power did not
extend far enough to make her a
fairy.
With their king absent from.
fairyland things began to go all
wrong. After many messages from
his people, the fairy king had to go
back to fairyland, but he could not
take his beautiful wife with him be-
cause she was a mortal. He left
her III the cottage near the forest
and never returned.
She was not left ali alone, how
ever, for she and the fairy king had
a son, who was a very wonderful
baby. His name was Robin Good
fellow
For several years the mother and
her son were happy The baby, al
though he was half fairy, seemed
Euch like other babies. He was
Brighter than most children of his
aeo. Even when he was very little,
she time when most babies simply
ct and sleep, he seemed to under
sand all that was going on about
him and sometimes much more.
IS soon as he was old enough to
lun around and play he was SO ac-
I've and mischievous that he nearly
drove his mother mad with worry

How Much to
Spend for Advertising


The Association OF. National Adver-
Users made an inquiry into the above
subject and Alan C.. Kelley, when Pres
ident, reported the following results:
1.-The advertising of one of the lead
ing paint manufacturers of the coun-
try averages 81 per cent. of his total
sales. In other words, for every dol
lars worth of paint he sells he spends
3h cents in advertising. This Is about
equivalent 10 the price of postage
stamp and cents worth of paper for
every dollars worth of goods sold.
"Of two of the biggest clothing man
ufacturers in the country, one spends
~ per cent. and the other per cent.
An equally prominent shoe manufac-
turer spends " per cent. OF two of
the most famous automobile builders
one spends per cent. and the other
3 per cent. Figures in the office of the
Association of National Advertisers
chow that the average department
stores advertising does not cost more
than per cent. of its total business.

vas brought painfully to light during
the recent World War. are looking for
ward to the Endurance Test for saddle
horses set for next October.
This test, designed to promote the
breeding Of more and better work
types, and to improve the material
suitable for army mounts, is to be a
very severe one, conducted by repre-
sentatives Of the War Department,
Army Remount Service and the
Bureau Of Animal Industry, Depart
mens Of Agriculture, along with those
of our great institutions maintained
In the interest Of pure bred horses,
including the American Remount As
ISOLATION, Thoroughbred Endurance
Test Club. National Saddle Horse
Club. Arabian Horse Club Of America,
National Steeplechase and Hunt Asso-
citation and American Hackney Horse
Society. Also its conditions make the
Endurance Test of special interest to
Kentuckians.

less of weather, over q course to be
selected by the committee In charge.
Each horse shall carry no less than
PAS pounds, made UP, according to the
rules governing, Of the riders live

will further the splendid work of the
Army Remount Association and the
other patriotic organizations that have
undertaken the work Of breeding
cavalry horses to answer the require
ments Of the army In times Of peace
and its mperative-demands in war.

Vote Fraud Suit
is Filed in Pike

Pikeville, KY, Aug, 14.-After the
Pike County Board of Election Com
missioners, after a four days canvass
of the primary vote here, issued certi-
ficates of nomination last night, j. H.
Adkins, Republican, for County Attor-
ney, today placed in the hands of the
Sheriff notice of contest to be served

jority of the legal votes cast in the

his campaign and contributed many
thousands of dollars into pool or cor,
ruption fund for the purpose of buying

filed by contestee was not proper as 1t
did not show this.

money into various precincts and plac-
ing il in the hands of strikers and of
going himself into a precinct and buy
ing votes the day of primary, 1t all
leges that many Democrats voted for
