"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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

"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.

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.

Clearing the equation of unknown quan 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. -J CHESS FOR.PLAYER, LOVER AND STUDENT Greatest T'cnturc of Tourney nt St. Petersburg Is Hec oiiciliatioii.
