MUCH AMERICAN HISTORY Is
REVEALED IN PLAYING CARDS.

Perhaps a deck of playing cards
would be the last place In the world
in which we would expect TO find any
thing that would teach US American
history Yet it is a fact that ever
since the first settlements we're made
on this continent many history making
events have been reflected in the play
ing cards which were used both in this
country and abroad.
For instance, one of the first deserip-
tons of the new English colonies on
the Atlantic Seaboard is to be found
in set of playing cards made for
the young French prince, who became
Louis XIV, to teach him geography.
And this only one OF the interesting
facts that are told land illustrated
in the feature article Dealing Out
Some American History by Elmo
Scott Watson IN this issue of the Miner.

zations. In Hibbing, it is said, the
show has been such a success that the
DodSon shows have been asked to ap-
pear there again next year.
From the Hibbing Daily Tribune, we
take the following editorial comment
of the shows. The Tribune among
other things said:
Travelling with the Dodson world
fair shows is a Methodist minister,
Doc Waddell, high type of Christ
ian gentleman, acting in a dual role,
serving as advance man and chaplain
for the 700 employees of the carnival
shows. During his stay in Hibbing he
has impressed his listeners with his
sincerely of purpose. The Dodson
shows guarantee clean, wholesome
amusement for young and old-tfis is
the pledge they have given local ser
vicemen's organizations, under whose
auspices they appear and Rev. Wad-
dell is one of the powerful influences
demanding that this promise be kept
to the letter.
