UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Sam Clemens Qater called Mark
Twain'O suffered a heavy blow at
the age of IL. The death OF his
father took place and caused the
boy much sorrow.
Sam kept thinking of the times
he had not obeyed his father. He
was sad because some of the things
he had done had brought trouble
to the man who was dead.
Mrs. Clemens saw how the boy
was losing himself in grief. long
after the funeral. So she said to
him one day:
You can do nothing about the
past. The right thing now is to
promise to be better boy"
Sam promised, and he kept his
promise. No longer did he spend
most of his free time getting into
mischief with the band of boys.
Leaving school, Sam obtained
work in print shop at the age of
IL. Two years later he helped one
of his older brothers publish a
weekly newspaper at Hannibal.
One day Sam was on his way
home from work when he saw in
the street a leaf from a book. 1t
had been part of a volume about
Joan of Arc. The youth read the
words on the leaf, and they inter-
ested him greatly. He never before
had heard about the Maid of Or
leans and now he decided to learn
IS much as possible about her.

pilot. The vessels passed up and
down the Mississippi River.
There was problem of making
sure that the river was deep enough
so a steamboat would not run
aground To prevent that, tests of
the depth of the river were often
made. When the cry, Mark
Twain!" rang out, it meant that
the testing rope showed two marks
of depth or II feet.
Later, when he became an author,
Samuel Clemens adopted the pen
name of Mark Twain," in memory
of his steamboat days. He became
known to millions of people by that
name. To this day, he is called
Mark Twain more often than Glenn
ems.
Mark Twain died in 1910, at the
age of IA years. He ranks as one
of the great authors. of American
history. One of his books is "A
Connecticut Yankee in King Ar
thurs Court" Another is "Inno-
cents Abroad" Still another tells
the story of Joan of Arc.

That little event has been used
to explain a change in the life of
Samuel Clemens. He found books
about Joan of Arc and read them
carefully. He also started reading
histories. In that way he did much
to make up for the education he
had missed by leaving school.
During his young manhood, he
worked on a st. Louis newspaper
and in silver mine. He also spent
years on steamboats, and became a

North was confronted by a prob
lem at his first turn to bid. His
hand was not quite strong enough
for q raise to three hearts, but was
too strong for a shutout raise to
four hearts. A temporizing bid of
two clubs would ordinarily be the
solution, but North feared the en-
emy would put in a spade bid and
find a good sacrifice at four or even
five spades.
His problem was to find a bid
which would not too greatly mis-
represent his hand, but would serve
to keep East quiet at the same time.
He finally hit upon two no-trump
as an effective answer. If South
raised no-trump, North would go
back to hearts, and if South made
any other rebid, North could easily
raise hearts or show a preference
for that suit.
Note how the bid of two no.

lead against a no-trump contract

against pair who could bid SO
strongly. Had he not been shut out

profitably even at five spades.

Keeping the opponents out of the
auction is a good idea not only
when you have shutout bid in
mind, but also whenever it would
be to their advantage to sacrifice
against you. Most players are IA
miliar with the opening bid of three
or four intended as a sacrifice
against the eneny's probable game

used by deceptive players to pre-
vent the opponents from staging a
