Next he played a low diamond, and when West played the six, he finessed the nine, East winning with the queen and returning the king of spades, which Roberts trumped with the six of hearts.
 Roberts now led the three of dia- mOnds. When West played the eight, he got a good reading on the West hand and refused to go up with the king in dummy, playing the seven spot. East was forced to win the trick with the ace. East returned the queen of spades. which Roberts trumped with the nine of hearts and it held the trick, West discarding a dia- mond.
 The seven of hearts was played next, declarer going right up with the ace in dummy, catching East's | queen and the hand was made. All l Roberts had to do was to lead the king of diamonds from dummy which East trumped with his good | king of hearts.
 As the jack and three of hearts were in dummy and the ten O. hearts and five of diamonds were in Roberts hand. he was bound to win the last two tricks. l I(Copyright, 1884, NEA Service Incl

SOLUTION TO PREVIOUS CONTRACT PROBLEM

I receive many Ietetrs in a years time asking me, If you pick up a hand containing no picture cards, may you ask for a new deal?" Of course, you cannot do that. The fact that you have no high cards simply is somebody else's good luck, and the thing for you to do is to realize that it may be your partners.
 Don't become discouraged on an apparently worthless hand-sit in there and play bridge, and do the best you can with the cards you get
 The fact that w. J. Roberts of Cleveland does not receive high cards does not prevent him usually

A good many years ago George M. Conan wrote la popular play entitled Tt Pays to Advertise, in which the playboy hero starts a business rolling by flamboyant, amusing advertising that would have mortified the elder generation. If the late Cyrus H. K.

 To a newspaperman who sought to inter view him his journalistic career, he replied, I'm advertising man." No query could induce him to recount the story of his journalistic life which had ample background in the phenomenal growth of his Ladies' Home Journal and Saturday Evening Post, and his later invasion of the Phila Idelphia and New York newspaper fields.
 Cyrus Curtis who died June T. 1883, left an estate valued at S18000,000, but the conservatism of the valuations is apparent when 1t is realized that his Curtis Publishing common stock ried at against a current market of 23 and the preferred at 45a against 75 now. While holdings of the Philadelphia Public Ledgey Company stock accounted for two-thrdS of his wealth, inven- toried and Curtis Publishing stocks for most of the remainder it the latter (publishers of the Saturday Evening Post Ladies Home Journal and Country Gentleman which put him in the multi millionaire class and thus permitted him in his declining years to enjoy to the full at Camden, Me, during the summer, and at Miami during the

Now for some weeks the popular America weekly has again been on the upgrade.
