II, DAVID A. CUIlTtS.
"Onct In a wlillo," Bald old man
Greenlaw, "they Is u man child Wn Into
the world what 'pears to ho wuth
raisin', but 1 reckon they Is mo' money
wasted fetchln' up no 'count offsprings
'n they Is Into any other umoozement
what Is.
"Wust on It 'pear to be how th' ain't
no way o' tcllln' afo' hand which ones
la wuth kccpln'. 1 reckon that's how
come they Ih 's much surplus popilu
tlon ua they Is, an' keeps taxes as high
as they bo.
"U" co'bc, a'ter they done been bo'n
th' ain't no way o' glttin' rid o' them
what ain't no Rood, short o' drowndln'
of 'cm same's yo' do kittens, an' they's j

Is somcpln' 'bout a man child what
women Is dcsprlt fond of. an' the mo'
older they gits the mo' fonder they be.
Shows how Providence tangles every
thln' all up so 's 't th' ain't no tcllln'
what's best to be did, but they'd ought
fo' to be somcpln'."
"What 'd yo' all s'geat. If yo" had
the 'raiigcnients to make?" awked Jake i
Wintcrbottom. not without nn Indica
tion of sarcasm In his manner. It did
not appear that ho was so desirous of
enlightenment as ho was of leading tho
o'd man Into some statement that could
be held up to ridicule.
"They Is heaps o' things In the world,"
he continued, "but th' ain't no onder
standlu' of 'em, an' I ain't a-sayln'
xvhtt that uln't one on 'em. Mebbo 'tis, when a mall's got 's many as yo all

"I hain't never made no such p'ten- 'l'oared like 1 hadn't never done nothln'

' ... ....... I

but what l's got 'ntclllgenco enough fo'
to tell how things Is wrong when I
see Vm. I don't p'fest to bo no wagon
builder my ownself. but I c'n tell by
looklu' nt It whether a wagon Is got
the c'ret amount cT wheels onto It. or
whether 'taln't. They Is them, what
in't go, 'ntelllgence enough fo' to know
that much," he added with some sar
eaMti of his own.
Drinks Is on yo' all. Jake." said j
Elnlsdell. rising and walking toward tho
liar "Hut all tho same, I got my 'pin
Ion of a man what goes round n
drowndln' o' po' helpless babies Jus" so's
to save th' "xpense o' brlngln' 'em up.
Tears llko mebbo It mought a' been n
pood thing If he was to been drownded
but own self afo' ho was let loose onto
the c'munlty."
Tor a moment It teemed as If the old
man was ubout to answer this gibe
hotly, but possibly for tho reason that
he could llnd nothing to say he said
nothing In reply. Walking around be
hind the bar. he served the drinks and
collected from Wlntorlottom for them,
Including the price of a cigar which he
bit In two, llghtfhg ono end of It.
"I ain't th' on'y one what's done been
p'plexed over that there problem," he
said, after he had smoked for a while,
"but I reckon old Deacon Peabody had
mo' o' the stings an' nrrers of out
landish fortune hi tho shapo of off
springs 'n anybody clso In Mississippi.
" 'Pearcd like they was mo' little Pea
lodles growln' up round hlw place 'n
anybody c'd find use fo'. but Mis' Pen
body kep' on p'ducln' a, new one ev'ry
year till the neighbors done lost count
of "em, an th' old deacon hlself 'pearcd
to not know Just how many on 'em they
was. "Pcared like he was glttlu' mo" 'r
less d'scouraged V c'nsld'able older 'n
he'd ought fo' to ben nt his time o' life.
"Went on till ho como to bo nulto
gome rejuccd In clrc'mstanccs. He'd
al'ays got along tol'ablo well In hla
early days, bcln' a capable poker player
an' not havln' no p'tlcSar '.xtravagant
habits outsldo o' chll'n, so 's 't they
wouldn't 'a' been no dllllculty at nil
'bout p'vldln' fo' a moderate sized fam
ly. "Hut when it como to lieln' the head
of a hull tribe, 'pOared llko It cost him
mo' 'n ho c'd win Into tho game, fo' to
buy hawg an' hominy fo' em. An' tho
wiist on It was how hp was most amaz
In' conshenshus, not belli' able to fo'
glt his obligations llko a man 'd nach
ully did If he hadn't no religious train
In "Hut that was ono thing nbout the
deacon what ev'rybody was 'bleeged to
r'spect. jlle wouldn't never n'glect his
Jutles even when they come to be on
rca.s'nable numerous. Ills Idee 'pearcd
to be how It was up to him to train tils
chll'n proper, belli' 's he had 'em, an' 'h
long 's he was a young man an' they
wa'n't so many on ' m ho didn't had
IIj gre't trouble a-doln' on It.
"Hut. a'ter they dono multiplied, an'
ho got along In years, 'pearcd llko It
was too much fo" him, an' by the time
he'il turn up at the tavern he'd be plumli
wore out, an' not In no c'ndltlon to hold
his own Into tho game, let alone wlnnln'
enough fo' to pay 'xpontcs, 'Pcared llko
the conrmcrln' hand o' time was glttin'
a grip onto him what was liable fo' to
!a his hull forum' waste, to say uoth
ln o' d'prlvln' the younger PenbudleH '
r'po't.
"Come a time when he" 'peared to
reellzc how he was n'.sh 'bout to th' end
of hie a ren'Ui nn h got ti'lklp' to me
'bout It. He'd been In hard luck In the
game that night, an' I kylnd o' n'pectcd
how he d;.l:i't had the price o' tho drink
he called fo', but bcln's I didn't own tho
place nt that time, not liavln' been there
long enough fo' to buy It, I reckoned his
credit was good, bo I let him have It,
un' n'tcr he drlnked It he called fo' an
other, aayln' ho reckoned how he needed
mo' 'n usual, 'long o' belli' troubled
Into his mind.
" 'I reckon 1 done bit off mo' 'n 1 c'd
chaw when I cot married,' he says. 'It's
done sot no, when I start In to lick' tho
chll'n I has to b'gln with tho oldest. If
1 b'gln t'other way round, like 1 UBetcr,
I'm that tired by the time 1 Kits to the
oldest what I can't do Justice to 'em,
an' mo' 'n that I'm liable to git licked
my ownself.
"'fears llko It takes a heap o' Judg
nient to raise a fambly proper. I reckon
mibbu I got Judgment enoush, but
pears llko my stren'lh Is fallln' c'nsld'
able. Hill como nigh llckln' me this
mawnln' an' 1 was that tuckered out
when 1 llnolly koI the best on him what
I kylnd o' s'plclon how some o' the
younger ones got away.
" "They's al'ays some anxieties like
that a-comln' up an' It's doggone wear
In. 1 reckon 1 better have one mo'
drlnkV
"I seen how ho needed 'ncouragement
mo' 'n he did liquor, so I says to him
how some o' tho boya he had was Blt
tln' old enough so 's they'd ought fo'
to bo a help to him, 'stead of a burden,
but he shook his head mu'nful like, an'
he says:
I don't see no chanst o none on 'em
niountln' to uothln'. I did had some
hopes o' Ulll when he was littler 'n he
l. belli 's ho showed c'nsld'able Int'rest
! when I fust beslu learnln' him poker,
but 'pearw like he linln t got no nachtil i
talent. They Is fo' 'r rive o' the- younger
ones what beats him out easy, an' th'
ain't nono on 'cm plays no good game.'
".Mebbo 'taln't so bad as yo' uil reck
ons 'tis, I rays to him. 'They must be
a dozen or two boys among 'em,' I says,
'an' out o' that number, stands to rea
son they 's liable to bo one or two
what'tf gwlne to tit'n out well.
"'hike enough yo' won't never be
able to make no p'fcsslonals outen 'cm
seeln' It's on'y oncct In a while they Is
a man bo'n what's got the naehul abil
ity fo' to be a p'ftsslonnl. Hut a good
steady player c'n alays make enough
outen the game to git along on If he
Just plays round home an' don't ondcr
take to travel tho boats.
" 'U' co'so," I says, 'they Is al'ays suck
ers what ain't no p'tlc'lar use to no
body on'y to set In an' p'vlde wads fo
the reel players, but stands to reason
fo' to d'servo no such nf Miction, but
I'm irrnl'lv lnsln' fa th." ho says. I
. .,. ,
dutino Just how many on em Is boys,
an' how many on 'em Is gaK but 'pears
like the gals Is got mostly all th' In
telligence they Is Into the fambly, an'
I don't see no hope o' nothln' Into my
old age.'
"Well, I couldn't say nothln' to that.
I knowed well enough how 'twa'n't no
good fo' to argy agin the myst'rles o'
providence. Them that hain't no p'tlc
'lar use fo" somepln' Is the ones that
gits It. an' that's all they Is to It.
"If ProUdoncc hail done ordained how
all th' Intelligence In the family sh'd go
to tho gals, leavln' none fo' tho boys,
united llko the deacon wa.f right when
he said they wa'n't no hope, so I give
him another drink an tells him how I
reckoned all they was fo him to do
was to put his trust In Providence any
how, even If 'twas foolish, an' he tool;
the drink an' sta'tcd fo' hum.
"I c'd see how lie staggered c'nsld'-
uble when ho went, so 1 knowed he was
right 'bout him glttin' old. Th' nln't
nothln' mo' melancholy 'n that Into a
man's llfo 'thouten he keeps his strcn'th
wltli It. x
"I will say fo the deacon, though,
what ho was pcrseverln'. When he
seen how they wa'n't nothln' to bo 'x
pected o' Hill he done picked out one
o' the others, named Sam. as beln' the
likeliest o' the lot. an' put his hull mind
to mukln' n player o' him.
"Ho mought 'a' did It. Uo, If Ham M
a' been n lectio mo' cap'ble 'n he was, fo'
tho deacon ao'ch'ly got Mm so 's't he
c'd play n fair game, fsetor lick him
like thunder whenever he done lose, an'
put the fenr o' the Lord Into him that
away, so 's't ho reellzed how ho was
'blteged to win, that belli' one o" tho
llrst principles o" poker.
"Hut they wa'n't no gre't good come
of It, a'ter all. Yo' c'n make a whistle
outen a sow' ear If yo' try hard enough,
but that ain't to say how the whistle 'II
be good fo' nothln' when It's made.
"Sain got so. In the co'so o' tltne. what
he c'd set In with th old man an' help
out c'nsld'able, playln' In cahoots with
him, an' not ondertakln' to do no p'tlc'
lar stunts on his own hand. S long's
he stuck to that, 'pearcd like he done
tol'nble well, un' they was quite a spell
to'ds tho last when It sho' looked like
they was- liable to 1 some prosperity
Into tho Peabody fambly again, but
twa'n't on'y Just tho flicker of a dyln
candle, an' th' old deacon was finally
snuffed out by his own offspring what
he dono roso up fo' to bo the hope o'
Ills d'clluln' years.
"Way on It was they was six Into the
game, nn" tho game was unusual stiff.
They didn't nobody know It till a'ter-
wards but the hull Peabody wad was
Into It. "Pears llko' tho deacon 'd made
un his mind what they had lo tie
klllln', him beln' nigh to tho end o' his
reto'ces. an' he done rose all the money
he c'd lay his hands to, d'vldlu' It even
with Sam an' tcllln' lilm how they waa
'bleeged to win out or they wa n t noth
In' but ruin uhead of cm.
"One thing Sam c'd do remarkable,
even If he hadn't no gret Judgment
about nlayln' his hands, lie o'd deal on-
'common skilful, an' 'pears tho deacon
was relyln' on that.
"So when he got fo' kings an' a ace
in his hand on Sam's deal he didn't
had no hesitation In playln' em fo' all
he was wuth, 'n' he was 'neouriged a
heap w'n'h him an' Sam boosted It along
an Squirt James trailed, u cose tliey
rou dn t 'i no mo onen the squire n
what Md' deacon hail In his own pile,
but t int 'd be wuth glttin', nn' ho kep'
on iiimfnl till him nn' Sam iv.it,' all In.
"Sam had gave the Squire fo' parts
or a straight Ilusli to draw to, an' tho
Squire played 'cm uccoiillu', but even
the best dealers makes mistakes oncet
In n while, an' the Squire tilled In the
draw.
"Th' ain't no ute tellln' the harrow
In' details, The deacon was that 'xas
penned whin hit hen what S.im dono
did what he swatted him with his cane
boinu harder 'n he 'ntendi-d an' broke
Ills neck. Tit' ain't no p'tlc'lar moral
to It, any how It 'd 'n' been cheaper to
lieve drownded him when he was Utile."
POEMS WORTH READING.
When the White. Armies Graduate.
Where do they (o to, thoia wonderful

Decked out In tlni and laces and frllla.
Trooping from highways and byways with

Here they come marching wllh banner that

Lord! but It doea a man'a heart food to

To their recltali, and look In their eea.
Home, they Implore us to look before leaping.
Handing advlcea to tavant and sage;
Wisdom hiia taught them H'a well worlh the

liter before ua thnt adage of age.
Some, they are bubbling with nit and with
pleaaure.
Boning their seeds of mirth to the world

Lord! but It tloea a man good beyond
menaure
Just to all there and to look In their yee.
Rome gather trouble before It la due them:
Othera turn trouble aalde with a laugh:
fume are sedate with the wladom aeeped
through them:
Rome full of badinage, rollicking chaff.
Hut they're all strung on the galaxy reach

Lord' but It does a man good, all their
preaching.
Just to sit there and to look In their eyes.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Klndty give mo Information re
B.ardlnp the following: I Irnva received
a variety of answers from varloui sources,
none of which gives any satisfactory In
formation. I am 19 years of age and wai
born In Germany. At tho ago of nine I
came to this country and have been liv
ing here ever alnce. My parents are Ger
man subjects and are still living there.
I have taken out my papers of Inten
tion. Would It be possible, for me to
visit my home before the age of 21
without being compelled to servo under
German authority? If you give Informa
tion kindly tell mo on what you bane It.
IL K. H.
The following citations from the stnnd
dard text. Van Dyne's "Citizenship of the
United Mates," cover tho case completely.
106. A German who emigrates before
he Is 17 years old or before he has
been actually called upon to appear before
the military authorities may, after a res
idence In the United States of llvo years
and after due naturalization, return to
Germany on a visit, but his right to
remain In his former home Is denied by
Germany.
Treaty with Germany. The declaration
of an Intention to become a citizen of the
one or the other country has not for cither
party the effect of naturalization.
These citations answer the question In
every detail. Tho Inquirer Is subject to
his military duty In Germany and upon
arrival at place of birth or parents' resi
dence must report to the proper authority
for enrolment. Or cite he must refrain
from visiting Germany until his natural
ization Is perfected.
Is there any explanation of the mad
ne.is of the hatter? HtLEN IUknes.
Many years ago "Notes and Queries"
held a commission de lunatlco Inqulreiido
upon March hare arid hatter, that historic
pair of loons whom Sir John Tennlcl pic
tured tn Anglo-Saxbn attitude after thu
fashion of the llayeux tapestry. The
hatter, according to the Inquest, Is really
not guilty, even though he vends the
summer straws. The phrase In American
version Is "mad as a hatter." In Kngllsh
It Is ''mad as an hatter," and that points
the way to the Interpretation. In several
cus.s philology has had to take cognizance
of a Moating n. Thus we have the two
nanus newt nnd eft for the same animal;
"an eft" has floated the final coiuunant
of the article to u new mooring us Initial
of tho noun. Contrariwise "a tudder"
shows thu Initial of the noun flouting to
the article as "an udder." Ho "mad as
an hatter" Is really "mad as u natter.'
and there we have the same snake; the
phrase, therefore. Is not a charge of non
eonmos mentis but rather a statement
that one Is as tnotnous as an udder.
What arc the Ionic letters of the alpha
bet? T- ts-
That was a designation InicntcU by the
ancient Gretk grammarians. Sixteen let
ters were ascribed to Cadmus, son of Age
nor, and therefore designated C.idinean
letters. The later eight characters needed
to complete the classic alphabet were
zeta. eta. theta. xl, phi, chl, psl. omega
It Is rather fortunate that these eight
Ionic letters wcru Invented, for without
them the Juwelr-y of college fraternity
plus would ha b.'tn far Ices ornate and
mystic.

titles and solving by Horner's method,
whloh all algebrlsls will recall ai sticking
In one's thumb, the answer seems to lie
in this quotation, partly recalled and
wholly verified, from II. J. Hyron's popu
lar comedy "Our Hoys." After the declar
atlon "Life's too short for chess" the hero
says: "He's up to these grand games, but
one of these days I'll loore him on to
skltl es und astonish him. Any way,
this Is a perfectly good answer and the
querist must acknowledge tnat uis inquiry
lacked somewhat of precision.

SCHOOL FOR CARD PLATERS.
Auction Hrldgc J. II. V. says: We
understand that the farmer's suit can
bo dented by calling another, but sup
pose tho original caller has none of that
ult either, what should we do? Dealer
calls a heart His partner says royal.
Dealer has flvo hearts to ace king, flvo
diamonds to aco king Jack and three
small clubs: no roynli at all. A bets
he should go no trumps and chance It.
The takeout by tho third hand docs
not always deny the partner's suit. The
dealer's calls are made on averago hands,
and Jhlrd hand would take out with
greater strength than tho nvcrago hund
on which a dealer would bid one heart.
The usual plan Is for the dealer to name
his supporting suit If ho has nono of tho
takeout suit. In this casi be should bid
two diamonds, and leave the selection of
tho llnal trumn to the takeout hand. Third
hand then knows that tho dealer's strength
s massed In two suits, and that ho has
nothing In clubs. If he had tricks In
:ioth clubs and diamonds he should bid
no trumps.
It. T. N. says: Dealer bids one reyal.
Second hand. A, says three uiamomis,
upon which third linnd remarks tiiut two
would have been enough. A asks If he
may explain why ho bids three, and Is
told ho may not. Third hand passes and
fourth hand lets It stand at three dia
monds, .which they make. Apart from
V xn1nn.it on after the nnnii, wnai
would an nvcrago partner take such a
bid to mean If not that A wantcu u to
stay at diamonds?
Such bids nro usually called "snouts,
made In a major suit they mean
if
Let mo alone, no matter what you
have." but In a minor suit they show live
or six sure tricks In the hand and ask
the partner to bid no trumps it ne can
stop tho suit declared by tho dealer,
which second hand cannot, or he would
bid no trumps himself.
m t. IV niks If the game they are
,,tvlni. In l-ncrt:lllll. auction without the
exposed dumtnyj has ever been tried here.
Some years ago they tricu straigni
bridge without a dummy, but found It a
very slow game at no trumps, and not
nearly so good a game ns wlilst when
there was a trump. Members of the
nlekrrbockcr and Union League clubs
voted tho game uninteresting after one or
two trials.
11. T. Y. says: A bids three clubs and
Y two no trumps. A says four clutis.
threo no trumps, live eiuns. roitr no
trumps, six clubs. Y says that Is not
enough and Insists It shall be seven. A
plas the hnnd and makes what he bid.
six odd Willi live Honors in ono iniiiu.
What does he score?
He takes 80 above tho line, ngalnat tho
DO penalty for falling on his contract by
one trick. Of this CO Is for the honors
and 20 for tho little slam. must nave
had n peculiar hand to bid four no trumps
against five honors In clubs.
C. C. II. says: The dealer bids n
heart. A doubles. Y says u royal. lint
Is tho fourth hand supposed to do In such
a case?
The doublo Is usually defensive and
shows three or more sure tricks in tno
heort suit, but no other declaration that
would be safe. Kourth hand Is not
obliged to act on It unless tho Information
gives him a sound declaration or double.
K. C. W. says: The players sitting In
the order of A Y H Z. On tno seeonn
round of bids Y says threo liiyrts. his
partner having been bidding no trumps.
7. says "I pass." whereupon A savs It
Is not his turn, but H's. a men ouuuicb
three hearts. . contends that It la not
, turn, but A bets mat 11 p sith ib
7,'s passing ns regular 11 is inn mm w
clarc next. 7. bets that A Is Irregular.
Had Z made a bid A would be correct ;
but passing out of turn does not nffect
the order of the bidding, and It Is still
H's turn to declare himself on s three
hearts. If II doubles or overcaus 1 men
may bid In his right turn, nut not
otherwise. A's doublo Is irregular, as
tated by Z. and cither Y or . may nave
a new deal or let the double stand.
rvit.i,,...,. A.. J. M. says: In the crib
are two secns, an eight and a nine. A
seven turns up. Whirt Is the crib worth
and how do you count It?
Lay out the sevens In a triangle, eacn
side of which will form a pair, 6 holes.
dd the eight and nine to each In turn
nnd you get three runs of three, 9 more
holes, l'lace tho cjgltt with each seven In
turn and you get threo fifteens, 6 more
holes, or 21 In all.
fall nee ouchre. J. J. a. says: Four
. nr ni.-ivlnir and ono wins out, leav
ing three. What changes does this make
la the rules? Can tho man that picks
un the trump lead?
The first change would be to adjust tne
nack for 500, because that is what the
game would now become, ns there would
be too many cards In the stock for call
e. In four hand euchre the plnyer to
the left of the maker of the trump leads
for the first trick.
.1. A. V. savs: A bets that If a player
ordera up his own partner he must play
It alone. U bets It is optional ror tne
player ordering to play It alone or not.
H Is right. It is only In the largo pub
lic games for prizes that they make It
a rule for the assisting hand to play
alone. In the regular game the partner
can assist, which bars tho doaler from
playing alone: or ho can order up and
play alone himself.
Poker. M. V. asks what Is meant by a
"picture full."
Any full hand that is nil picture cards,
such as three jacks and a pair of kings.
In the South the term Is sometimes up-
plied to a blaze, which Is a hand of any
five picture cards. This must be as good
as two pairs of some kind, hut It is not
a "full." when niayrn it oeais two
pairs but loses to threo of a kind.
It. R. McC. says: I am In a game that
1 think Is 11 trlllo crooked. I Insist on
shuffling the cardn on every deal 'before
they are cut, They bet tno I can shuffle
only when I am tho dealer or tho player
'hat gathers the pack for the next deal.
How about this?
You can khuflle at any time ns long ns
the cards have not been presented by the
dealer to bo cut.
W. II. . says 1 lit stud poker A has
aco showing arid bots. On second round
he Is Kt 111 high man, with nco king show
ing. On third round he Is still high, ilo
then passes tin- bet. II bets u chip, r
drops and I) calls. Can A come In to Vt
at this stage after passing the bet i'l'
blowing?
No. High man showing must make a
bet each time or throw up his hand.
Cutting cards. 1 T. S, saysi A and
11 nro cutting cards for the theatre tick
ets, low to win, nee low. A cuts first
and gets a queen, upon which 11 sas,
"I'll bet (10 I can beat that," A offers
to lay live to ten and II takes It. r cuts
a U(-en. As It Is a tie A Insists that he
gets half the btakes, Beven-tlfty. 11 says
It Ih a stand off. Which is right?
Neither. A wins the bet. n bet that
he could htut the queen, and a tie cut
does not beat It, A takes all the money.
