"Eye nature's walks, shoot folly as It files."
Avarice as a Good Old-Fashioned ViceHow "the
Scheme of Things" Conspires to Do Up the Tight-
Wad as It 'Does Other Immoral PeopleLittle Ser-
mon for Tomorrow Concealed Where You WUl
Never Suspect It.
WHENdthd
poet ByTon, whom your mother has
rea and does not wish you to read, had ex
hauste all the lesser vices that make us un
comfortable, he looked around for new hades to be
conquered by and remarked,
"So, for a good, old fashioned vice,
I think I will take up with avarice.''
This is the remark of a poet. No tightwad ever
look upon himself as avaricious. Bather he regards
himself as practicing these noble Spartan virtues of
economy, low living and high thinking that made tho
fathers of the republic great. His is one of the sav
ing examples of thrift and industry that stands out
like a lighthouse on the rocky coast of extravagance,
pecuniary carousal and financial shipwreck. This is a
very comfortable feeling.
Emerson has pointed out that for all right think
ing people, economy has its pleasures. This is doubt
less true. And economy carried to the nth power,
which is the avarice practiced by the tightwad, doubt
less has pleasures that the free spender never guesses.
A temporarily comfortable feeling arises from having
it roped, baled and hidden away in the cellar, great
bales of government bonds, stocks, securities, notes,
promises to-pay and tho rich, luxurious greenback in
bales with brown paper pinned around bunches of
thousands.
When Uncle Russell Sage awakened in the quiet
night and felt that he had put out several millions tho
day before and that call money was from 50 to 125
er oent, you can guess the cheerful feeling that
the rich red blood thru his withered old heart
in purple riot and made him smile happily to himself
as he dropped off to sleep again like a child, with his
hand under his cheek.
But the sturdy old figure has gone from its ac
customed haunts. Prom this world of sorrow and
seven per cent,
"Time, like an overflowing stream,
Bears all her sons away."
And it cannot be a cheerful thing where you
think with ohuokles of joy of the stuff baled in the
cellar to be from its cheerful presence "untimely
ripped."
The scheme of things seems to be to keep us mov
ing on and to teach us the lesson of non attachment to
things "that quit us just as we are beginning to have
fun. If we could see this world process and conform
ourselves to its aim, perhaps we might be really happy,
who knows?
Hies might be all right in the house if they would
wipe their feet.
Collier's Weekly recently made up a list of thirty
two cases of death from the use of headache pow
ders" containing acetamlid and other coal tar prod
ucts. The St. Louis Medical and Surgical Journal de
clares that of these thirty-two oases only eleven died.
In any case coal tar products are a mighty poor sub
stitute for right living.
The Vermillion, S. L\, Bepublioan is strongly op
posed to beer. "Beer," says the Republican, "is a,
Sluggish, oorrosive, peisistent demon that rests nei
ther day nor night. Whisky has the viciousness of a
rattlesnake beer, the slimy, noisome, unshakable
grasp of a devilfish. It is deadening, stupefying, cal
lousing, finally paralyzing.'' This we submit is pretty
bad, but the worst is to oome. The article continues:
"All physicians say that of all their patients they
most diead an habitual beer-drinker. He has no re
seive, no stock of vitality upon which to draw, and
when a disease that a healthy man would throw off
with little trouble sets its fangs on him he is marked
for the grave.
"There are good reasons for this. The alcohol in
the beer is grossly impure. There is from 6 to 12 per
ccnfc of alcohol beer, and it is polluted with all the
vicious substances resulting from the decomposition,
rotting, of the starchy and other vegetable matters
used in brewing. "Undoubtedly in the process of
brewing there are numerous and little known vege
table poisons of a deadly nature developed in tho
course of the rotting of the grains. There must be
actual decay and change of matter in the process of
brewing and this must necessarily develop things
which are prejudicial to health. When the product
is distilled, these are left behind.
"Unless the beer evil is checked by decisive meas
ures, our whole manhood and womanhood is in danger
of rotting away under the awful curse of the cold,
clammy, rotting Beer Devil, which is to the human
body what the mildew is to the grape.''
This is a narrow escape for us. We came near
having a small glass of the stuff the other day with
lunch, but finally compromised on water. A. J. B.

QUEEN OF SPAIN'S CHINA
The young queen of Spain, when she
comes to look over her household goods
and chattels in her new homes, will be
sure of one thing, and that is of find
ing her china closets well stocked. The
gifts of the king of England and the
president of the French republio to her
loyal bridegroom have both, as it hap
pens, taken the same form-that of a
present of valuable porcelain.
King Edward 'a choice, a dessert and
coffee service of the finest modern Eng
lish manufacture, copied from some ex

artistic ment as well as pecuniary
value, while the president's gift, com

A~SAINT'S GARDEN
A pretty idea which has been taken

that of a saint's garden. One owned
by Lady Grosvenox at Saighton Grange,
Chester, England, is unique of Its kind.
In this garden certain flowers .are so
tended as to bloom on days set apart
for certain saints, each saint having
a certain variety cultivated for him
or her. The grange was once a monas
tery. At Saighton Grange there also
is a lavender garden and a bulb gar
den. The grange itself is very old and
its red sandstone walls are femark-

A NEW "CON" GAME
CONFIDENCE
men who prey upon persons about to set
sail for Europe have adopted a new method, which
detectives term the "sick-friend game." Three men
were arrested on the Anchor Line pier this morning.
They were well dressed and appeared prosperous.
The method is for one of the confederates to make
the acquaintance of a passenger about to sail. He
tells the latter about a friend who is ill and whom he
accompanied to the steamship, and how worried he
feels that his friend may not be looked after on the
voyage. As the ship's bar is closed the confidence man
suggests that he and the passenger find on shore a
means toward getting better acquainted. At the foot
of the gangway is waiting a well-dressed man, who
ives exclamation when he sees^ the two, hurries
asks: "Oh, doctor, how are youf How
is my friend?"
I was just waiting to see you," returns the other.
I have put your friend his stateroom and he seems
to be comfortable."
After more "conversation" the new confederate
says: "Now, I think of it, you would better let me
pay Jones' bill How much is it?"
"Oh, really," protests the "physician," "it is
only a trifling matter of $450 and may wait until Mr.
Jones returns."
The other explains that Jones asked him to remem
ber it. So he takes out his pocketbook and finds he
is $100 or $200 short.
"So annoying," he exclaims, "would you mind,"
turning, to the passenger, accommodating me until
we get to Jones' stateroom?"
If the passenger is "accommodating "..the "physi
cian" takes the money, says good-by and disappears.
His confederate then loses the passenger on the pier.

great frugality. He never bought goods that were ex
pensive or very cheap, \u would select material with
a view only to its durability. "Then," says the
tailor, "after the garments had been ordered he would
never fail to lean over and whisper confidentially:

APPROPRIATE PICTURES
Certain pictures are suggestive of
certain rooms. If one will notice one
will find that in most artistically fur
nished homes some such rule as the
following is at least indicated, if not
rigidly carried out:
In the parlor or reception room land
scapes, with figures in the foreground,
seem to belong. Such pictures as Jules
Breton's "The Last Bay," or Millet's
"Angelus" or "The Shepherdess" are
good examples.
In a hall dignified subjects are usu
ally hung, such as photographs of
cathedrals, old castles, etc.
For a dining-room choice varies be
tween feasting scenes and Landseer
animals. The* latter are always a good
choice.
In living rooms and bedrooms per
sonal taste has a wide choice. Hoff
man's scriptural pictures, Madonnas,
dancing girls, or whatever one 4 likes
best are hung in these informal rooms.
The library atmosphere naturally
gravitates to photographs having his
torical and literary Interest.
It is a pity that any one without a
huge hall should have ancestral por
traits, for that seems to be the only
place these oil paintings properly be
long.
As to hanging pictures, the main
thing is to get them on a level with
the eye, and each subject in a good
light,

New York Letter in Cleveland Plain Deals*.??
YOUNG LADY who is connected with the work of
the East Side Settlement house is very enthusi
astic in her endeavors to eliminate the warfare forever
existing between the street gangs of small boys of
the East Side.
In pursuance of her mission she attempted the
other day a most dangerous and perilous experiment,
and one that no settlement worker has ever before
imagined could be possibly carried out.
She invited the boys of one gang that has its head
quarters on Seventy-sixth street, and another gang
that hangs out on Seventy-second street, to amalga
mate for the day, and accompany her on a picnic and
baseball game to Bronx park.
The boys of each of these warring factions ac
cepted, not so much because of the* expectation of a
pleasant outing, but from the fact that a refusal would
be construed by the other crowd as a craven fear of
their ancient enemies for the warfare between theBe
two streets has been going on from time immemorial,
and the enmity that existB has been handed down from
the fathers to the oldest sons and from them passed
on to the little fellows of today. The acceptances
were therefore prompt, altho friends who looked upon
the movement with anxious solicitude sadly informed
the youngsters that every one of them would reach
home by way of the morgue.
The young lady had one moment of fearful anxiety,
and that was when the warriors of the contending
streets fronted each other on the platform of the
elevated railroad, by which they were to be conveyed
to the sylvan pleasures and the diamond-shaped at
tractions of Bronx park.
It was with a deep sigh of relief that she found
the two armies amalgamated, with only an occasional
frown or the sly exhibition of a fist offered
youngster for the nasal inspection of another.
Even these hostilities died away in the excitement
and pleasure of riding on a train, with knees planted
on seats, and heads far out of the windows, and the
exchange of pleasantries with the casual watchers
hanging from the windows of tenements that lined the
roadway of Second avenue.
The park was reached in safety. The outcome of
the maneuver was still in doubt, but the developments
of the day crowned the venture with eminent success.
In describing the actual occurrence the head worker
of the settlement expressed himself as follows:
"It might have been a Sunday schopl picnic. The
game was played thru without a killing, without even
a cussword, tho frequent changes of umpire might
have shown the lady, had she known how to interpret
the sign, that the current of feeling was running deep
and strong. There was no trouble even over the dis
tribution of the lunch, and the appointment of the
soda water, tho the gangs were thirsty, and several
of their members had to take a pull from the same
bottje. Everything went lovely as a marriage bell.
Altruism was in the air, and each member was Ches
terfieldian in his behavior.
"But an end had to come. All the engineers in
the world cannot build a dam that will hold the Mis
sissippi. It happened on the homeward trip. Some
kindly intentioned old lady remarked to a neighbor,
'What nice little boys these are!' and then Bedlam
broke loose. Out of deference to the lady the gang
could be good ^it could be polite it could repress its
natural feelings it could refrain from swearing, and
do other things equally unaccountable and unreason
able to it, but to sit quietly by and be called 'nice
little boys'that was too much! In the thick of the
conflict the police appeared at the One Hundred and
Thirty-fifth street station, and the gang was ejected
from the train, but victorious and happy that it had
redeemed itself from the charge of being nice little
bos."

No. 16Second Hand Flay.
(All Bights Reserved.)
Second-hand play varies according to the position
of the player and must be studied from four points
of view.
In the Dummy.
We have already considered the play of second
hand in the dummy in a no trumper. In a declared
trump hand you must be on the alert to defeat a short
lead. With ace in the dummy and no card above the
jack in your own hand you had better play the ace
at once and then lead trumps, if such a lead seems
profitable.
With any two high cards in sequence in dummy
and no card of value in your own hand, play one of
the sequence cards second-hand.
In a declared trump, when the leader opens the
hand with a low card, it indicates that he has not the
ace, therefore if neither you nor dummy hold the ace,
it must be in pone's hand. To play the king from
king and small ones in dummy (tho you may have no
card of value in your own hand) is simply throwing
away the king. If dummy plays low, third hand,
not knowing of your great weakness, may be obliged
to play the ace-thus making your king good.
If third hand can finesse against you, to have played
the king would have accomplished nothing.
With king and 'others, or queen and others in
dummy, cover a jack led if you hold the ten either
in your own or dummy's hand.
Second Hand With Dummy on Your Sight.
Your play must now be modified by any high cards
dummy may have in view.
In a no trumper do not be in haste to give up the
command of the adversary's long suit. You can afford
to wait, as your high card will probably make later,
and by holding it up until the short hand is exhausted
you may block the length of the s\iit.
On the lead of a low card, play low unless holding
sequence cards.
When holding a fourchette (the cards next in
sequenoe above and below the card led) play the
higher.
On the lead of a face card, cover when holding
two honors without regard to the length of your hold
ing. Having but one honor, cover the lead of a face
card when short in the suit (not more than three)
having more than three, play low except when the ten
or nine is in the hand, then cover. In a declared trump
hand, keep in mind that the trump strength is probably
against you and the chances are heavily in favor of
the maker's success. Remember your chances are lim-
EMPRESS KEPT HER WORD
The empress of Germany, mother and
queen, has given an example of the
fairness of her mind. She was recently
visiting a public school at tTrville, a lit
tle village in Alsace-Lorraine, the ter
ritory which Germany took from France
in 1870.
The empress, as she has often done
before, visited the girls' classes, and be
fore she left she told the young pupils
that she would fulfil any wish they
might have if it was in her power to
do so.
Instantly one of the oldest of the
little girls got up, and with a voice
which trembled a little, said:
"If it please your majesty, we should
be so happy if you would let us learn
French at school."
Hitherto French had been forbidden.
The empress was somewhat startled at
the request, but finally said she would
keep her word, and now French is
taught alone in this school which once
belonged to France.
A QUEEN'S COACHMAN
Sands, Queen Victoria's coachman,
who drove her for more than fortv
years, and without whom she would
not go out in a carriage, may be seen
daily upon the streets of Windsor, and
if you can warm him up a. little, he
will relate anecdotes of the late queen
by the hour. He is retired on a pen
sion of $750 and 'has been given a
little cottage on the royal estates at
Eton to live in. Sands never drove
anybody but the queen and was sub
ject to her orders exclusively. For
forty years he has never mounted a
box unless she was in the carriage, and
it was probably true that she never
rode unless he held the reins. Altho
she was very stout Queen Victoria was
in the habit of riding horseback up to
a few years- before her death. Even
when she was over 75 years of age
she frequently mounted the saddle
with faithful Sands at her side and
rocle slowly around the riding hall at
Windsor, or among the paths upon the
palace grounds. She considered it the
best form of exercise. $*? *r *S^,

ited and that there are many worse plays than an aes
seeond in hand, especially when dummy cards in that
suit are low. The rules given for a no trump apply
in a declared trump play the lower of two high card*
in sequence, cover when holding a fourchette and cover
a finessing card (a card as high as the ten) when short
in the suit. On the lead of tlfe low card, holding ace,
queen and one or more, play ace unless king is in the
dummy.
With king, jack and one or more, play king if ae*
is in the dummy, or jack if queen is in the dummy.
With no high card in dummy, play low on a low lead.
Second Hand with Dummy as Your Partner.
Here the adversary on your right can see dummy*
poor suits and will probably lead up to his weakness.
The rules governing your play are the same as those
laid down for dummy in both a no trumper and a

The Hazards of a Honeymoon Afloat
By POLLY PENN.
I should think," said the Bachelor
Girl, "that two newly married persons
would make a point of looking attract
ive in each other's eyes."
"It's an ambition that wanes, I am
told," remarked the Bachelor Man
sadly.
"Well, I should think they would be
interested in keeping up the delusion at
least during the honeymoon."
"Ohfor that long," said the Bach
elor Man, I suppose it lasts."
"No, it doesn't," answered the
Bachelor Girl promptly. "At least not
when they take their honeymoon at
sea.''
"Do any misguided souls do that!"
"Do theyf Well, I should say. Six
bridal couples came down on the boat
with me the other day. I'm told it goes
on all the time. And think of the mar
ried ones who go off to Europe as soon
as the knot is tied!"
"Horrible,' conceded the Bachelor
Man. "My recollection of it is that a
person who iserat all disturbed by
the motion of a boat is not engaging to
contemplate.''
The Bachelor Girl laughed.
"If you had ever seen those poor
brides and bridegrooms," she said. I
never saw twelve more disillusioned
little doves. We had a stormy trip%
aud the billing and cooing they ex
pected to do in a shadowy corner of the
deck didn't get done. Instead, they
crawled aboutwhen they were able ,to
crawl at allwith dank strands of hair
floating around their pea-green counte
nances and anguished eyes that seemed
to say, 'I know I am not the seraphic
creature you fell in love with, birft
neither are you.' Oh, I tell you it was
pitiful."
"Must have beenso soon as that,
murmured the Bachelor *Man.
"They didn't wear the pretties they
meant to charm each other's eyes with
those first 'few days," went on the
Bachelor Girl. "They appeared to be
quite indifferent to whether their gar
ments were on straight and their pom
padours curled, and hey paused not
for the requisite number of hairpins and
le is higher than dummy's best,
it is generally good play to cover, if possible to do so
without playing your highest. This forces the lead
into your left hand adversary's hand and he will p%ob
ably try to put his partner into the lead again on
another suit, which you may be able to win.
When the adversary on your right returns his part-.
ner'a lead with a high card which you can cover but
not win, you should cover only when having a four
chette (the cards directly above and below it), count
ing your cards and dummy's together.
Second Hand with Dummy on Your Left.
In this position, when dummy is weak, yon are
sure of winning the trick with any card higher than
his best, so play accordingly. When dummy is strong
you must play low except when a finessing card is led
and you are short in the suit. *-r*
Cover a face card led regardless of your length,
when you hold the ten or any fourchette.

FROM ELIZABETH LEE
For a Fall Suit.
Dear Miss Lee: Kindly suggest a
stylish model for a street suit to be
made of gray worsted suiting that will
come in for fall wear. I am 5 feet 7
inches tall, 38 bust, 26 waist, and 42
hip measure. I wish something smart,
but above all becoming. Matron.
Taking the skirt first, you may choss
either a circular or a seven gored, ac
cording to the stability of your ma
terial, and trim it with three bias
bands of the material piped with black
satin, pointed on the ends and held
down to the front width with black
satin buttons. The coat, half or three
quarter length, made tight fitting, both
back and front, by means of seams \%_r_
from the shoulders. Between these |f
seams the coat will be cut off an inch m\
or more below the waist line, and added I
basques will complete the length of |i
the coat over the hips. Have a man's
collar and small rovers, edged with S
band" of black satin and close double
hreasted with black satin buttons.
A white linen eollar and pretty tis
should be worn to give the necessary
dash to the sober color of the suit, and
the coat sleeves will end in turn back
seam, ana cuffs, open on the outer
trimmed with a band of the black satin.
This will be a stylish, nncommon-look
your well proportioned figure.
Elizabeth Lee.
Tablecloths, that have become too
much worn Jfor further use may be
turned into.* breadcloths and silver pol
ishers. For either purpose they ars
more satisfactory than anything els*.
