prairie fires during their pioneering
days in the West. AS her reason for
writing the story the author says
"Boys and girls today are interested
in stories of Pioneer America. Too
many books show the heroes as war
riors courageous in battle. When
discovered that many Mennonites
took part in the Cherokee Strip
knew that this was a story that
could combine interest, church his
tory, and demonstrations of cour-
ageous pioneers who did not kill
and steal'.
"The incident of nonresistance in
the face of brazen land and house
theft is a true story told by T. M.
Erb, pioneer Mennonite in Kansas
who preached for the early pioneers
in Oklahoma's Cherokee Run"
Barbara Smucker is a member of

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY Rouson
By WILLIAM NORRIS

An amusing account comes
from Mrs. Elizabeth Cosete Of
Toledo. Ohio. who was moved
to write after reading some
speculations about the origin OF
the term Ito hornswoggle. "
meaning to swindle or cheat"
1T was a common expression
in our house.. she writes, be-
cause Of a story our grandfather
told us. In the farming CON-
munity of Hanover, Germany. a
confidence man appeared selling
a get-rich-quick scheme. Most Of
the farmers were hooked for
small sums but all denied being
so foolish until the confidence
man was caught and listed the
farmers and the amount he took
from each.
Then each farmer sheepishly
admitted his folly and always
afterward in business deals they
would say. You can't Hans
Woggle me'-because that was
the confidence mans name.
I'VE used 1t when we were
children and always had to ex-
plain the expression. Time has
corrupted the pronunciation but
II am confident that 1t Is the
same thing. Since Grandfather
was born in 1847 and came to
America in 1877. the police rec
ords Of Hanover would hold the
case Of Hans Woggle during
those years"

Opening lead: Jack of clubs.
The opening lead was the jack
Of clubs. Mr.. Abel won with the
ace and after some thought re-
turned the seven of diamonds.
Mrs. Keen ducked, playing the
eight spot, and Mr.. Masters won
with the king. A diamond was
returned. taken on the board
with the jack and Mrs. Keen
played the 10.
Now q heart was led from
dummy and the queen finessed.
Mr.. Masters promptly dropped
the nine. He had done a little
rapid calculation after the play
of the first three tricks. The
bidding and Mrs. Keen's play to-
the two diamond tricks had
made it fairly clear she had
started with precisely A-Q-l0-8I
IN that suit. Also she had
started with a singleton clue.
That left eight cards in the ma
jor suits. If only two of these
were spades. apparently there
was no chance of beating the
hand.
But II she had five hearts and
three spades. that was another
matter. If he won with the king
of hearts on the first trump
lead she could win any return.

spades, and take just one more
round of trumps. Then she could
cash her two good diamonds.
discarding the two small spades
from dummy.
Mr.. Abel would be out Of
trumps after the second heart
lead and Mr.. Masters would
have to follow suit helpleSSly on
the third and fourth diamond
leads and watch Mrs. Keen ruff
a losing spade with dummy's
last trump.
In fact this line Of play had
been mentally planned by Mrs.
Keen. But when the nine Of
hearts appeared on her left on
the first trump lead it appeared
to her that Mr.. Abel had started
with K-4-3-2 in hearts. Now 1t
was hopeless to try to run the
diamonds and get rid of dunn
my's two bad spades. Mr.. Abel
would surely ruff in prema-
turely.
Well, the contract could still
be made simply by flnessingI
against Mr.. Abels supposed king
Of hearts. So Mrs. Keen went To-
the board with the ace of spades.
