His friends call him Dick.

He owns beautiful estate not so
far from Washington, in q neighbor-
ing state. That is near enough for
the purposes of this story.
When he purchased ,his original
piece Of property he found that his
next door nsighbor was a erusty old
fellow whe aspired to be the neigh
borhood boss. .s-~.' .. .-,...:
To avoid his enmitY other people
more or less humered him. But Dick
couldn't see 1t that way He early
offended the old fellow, with the re-
suit that the latter soen had it in
for him.

Then the old man put up for sale
a large number of acres right next
to Dicks property.
I'm going to sell it to somebody
who will raise hogs in your frent
door," the man declared.
That was when Dick got busy.
Taking his viewpeiat, here is the way
the deal worked out:
He knew that the old man would
refuse to sell him the land. So he
got hold of a lively young friend,
gave him the proper instructions and
sent him down to look the for-sale
land over.
The young man approached the
crusty fellow as a possible purchaser.
Once the man discovered that the
stranger was eager to start some dog
kennels on the property he was aHx-
ious to sell IL to him.
The deal was put Through. 'I have
sold my land to q man who Is going
to build a lot of dog kennels right
at your frent doer,H the man told
Dick the next time he met him.

MANY QUEER
ACCIDENTS
REPORTED
Compensation Bureau Gets
Many Unusual Problems
To Deal With

Accidents happen in peculiar
ways, reports Of claimants 70 the
Workmen's Compensation Rureau

A recent claim came from a man
engaged in distributing spring
water along route, which he COW
cred daily with a truck, Just prior
to going out on the route one
morning he was sitting in a chair
at his home, with the result. that
he was laid up for several weeks
No award was made to the claim
ant, however, on the ground that
the injury was not sustained in
| the course of employment
Another laccident report came
from a general manager of an ele-
vator. During slack hours at the
elevator, and Ibeing very industri-
GUS, he went over to loading plat
form near the elevator to assist a
| neighbor who was loading cars
with scrap iron. While engaged in
this his hand was struck with a
sledge and ONE finger broken. The
bureau decided that whether as
sistants to the neigihbor was gratu-
itious or not, It was entirely out
! side the course of employment
and compensation was denied,
I Another unusual accident case
came from a man working in Goa
mine. He was struck on the arm

No 12-Draw Hands and General
Rules

Rules.
In play either with or without the
seasons, the wall is divided into two
portions, live and dead. The latter
consists of the last IA tiles, includ-
ing loose tiles.
The deadline, or line between these
two portions, will m owe as loose tiles
are drawn and new ones substituted
for them. .
When drawing reaches the dead
line, the hand is declared draw, no
scores count, new wall is built and
opened, and, East remains East for
at least another hand.
| The game. becomes a draw whel.
the fifteenth from last tile has been
drawn and a discard made and no
one can pung for Nah Jongg.
will now give you certain gen.
eral rules which you will find handy
to know in case Of discussion
If on the original draw anyone
draws tiles out of turn, any player
may demand new shuttle upon the
error being discovered. If no one
does so, play proceeds as usuai.
Conceal Y0ur Hand,
During play if any tile from the
wall or from a hand IS exposed, IL
is replaced without penalty.
There is no penalty for miscalline
a discard. Tins it is wisdom to see
| discard before calling a pung or a
chow as otherwise you are without
redress should you expose your
hand thus needlessly.
No penalty attaches to misclaim-
ing Nah Jongg. SO again it is best
to keep your hand concealed until
you get to see the Nah Jongg hand
A reasonable amount of prompt
ness in punging and chewing is ex
| pected, but player is within his
rights in claiming pung or chow
even after the player at the right
of the discarder has drawn from the
wall and looked at the tile. But
| pung or chow is not permissible
after player has Discarded, called
Nah Jongg or drawn loose tile.
