IN loving memory of William
Robinson who died September "a,
1854.
Your gentle face and patient smile
With sadness we recall;
You had kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.

That loved us we'll and true,
All, bitter was the trial to part
From one so good as you.
You are not forgotten loved one
Nor will you ever be,
AS long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
We miss you now, our hearts arc
sore,
AS time goes by we miss you more
Your loving smile, your gentle face
No one can fill your vacant place
Your loving wife Ida

And with that Beanie filled his
mouth with some Of the goodies
from his pocket and then turned
on his heel and ran as fast as he
could OF the road and into the
woods.
But. unfortunately. as he ran
he turned his head to stick out
his tongue at the stranger. AS he
did so he tripped over q stone

He found him lying unconscious
ION the ground. The boy was pale
and there was o large lump on

the bump and covered the

AS he sat beside the boy the
stranger thought, "Oh, dear,

going to get in terrible trouble
and he has so much TO learn be-
fore he goes home again. If only

dropped out Of his pocket when
he fell.
The stranger picked it up and
peered at it through his spec
tacles. The poorN Dumdiddy was
mashed q little from being in
Beanie's pocket. His nose was
lopsided.
But the stranger kept staring
at it and running his fingers over
it and whispering to it. Finally
he said out loud. Little fellow,

him out of trouble as best you
can. viii you do that?"

"You must be the only boy in
the world who doesn't like
Christmas" said the strange, fat
man. Don't you like getting
presents?"
"Oh, yes" said Beanie. II like
the getting but ] don't like the
giving. Besides. my sister always
gets something that I want and
sometimes she gets more than !
do. Last year, for instance. I
counted and she got % toys and

Dear me" said the fat man.
Christmas must be an awful
time at your house If you go
around counting your gifts"
1T is awful" agreed Beanie.
''That's why / like my birthday
best. Then everything is for me"
For long while the fat man
said nothing. He walked along
pulling at his whiskers and now
and then shaking his head sadly.
Presently Beanie said. 81 bet
even Santa Claus likes his BIRTH,
day better than Christmas. III
bet he likes to get things better
than to give them"
The fat man looked at Beanie
in establishment. Why. Santa
Claus doesn't even have a BIRTH
day!" he declared.
Gosh" said Beanie. That
must be awfull Imagine giving
all that stuff and never getting
anything"

his notebook from his pocket and

iderstand. The expression started
in Elizabethan,. England where
householders used a block Of

If you had just played cards
1t wouldn't have been close" re-
piled Mr.. Champion acidly. 1T
would have been set"
Here is the way the hand
started out: Mr.. Champion led
the ace of clubs. noted his part
ner's encouraging eight spot, and
continued with the seven of
clubs. Mr.. Abel took two more
tricks in the suit. Then, after
some thought, he led the nine OF
diamonds.
MIR. Dale won with the ace,
cashed the ace OF trumps and
successfully f1nessed the queen OF
spades. Next he led the jack Of
hearts from the board and let it,
ride. After that the king Of
trumps picked up the queen and
there was still trump on the
board to take care of the six Of
diamonds.
Mr.. Champion commended, the
hand could be defeated no mat
ter how MIR. Dale played. Just
play your last club at the fourth
trick. Abel" he said in a tone
that indicated the play was SIM
plicity itself. +
What, and give him a Stun
and a ruff" Mr.. Abel replied.
Look" Mr.. Champion con-
tinued, 1.-The man bid hearts and
diamonds. He had already
shown up with three clubs. He
couldn't have more than two
spades. You saw the ace-queen
of spades on the board. Since
you didn't have the king. you
knew he didn't have any spade
losers. So how could a stuff and
q ruff help him?
your only hope" Mr.. Cham
pion went on, was to try to
build up a trump trick. Lead
the fourth club and we'll beat
him. If he ruffs it with the king
or ace of hearts, we obviously
will win a trump trick.
"If he plays anything but one
of his two top trumps. I would
ruff with the nine Of hearts. It
would take dummy's 10 to win
the trick. But now let him try
to keep you from winning a
trump trick. It can't be done. I"
