•C MADAME DOESN'T LIKE OUR NEW SCALP TREATMENT
tfADAME MAY HAVE HER MONEY BACK."
A^USIC may have the charms to
soothe the savage breast, but to
Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton,
one of President Abraham IJncoin's
cabinet members, a certain tune had
exactly the opposite effect.
The tune was “Give Us Back Our
Old Commander.” written by the emi
nent composer, Septimus Winner,
author of "Listen to the Mocking
Bird." during a visit to the Nation's
Capital in 1862.
A short time before Winner arrived
In Washington. President Lincoln had
ordered the removal of George B.
McClellan as commander of the Union
Army of the Potomac. Popular senti
ment did not favor this move, however, i
and everywhere on the streets was
heard the cry: “Give us back our1
little Mac!"
Winner was inspired by the idea of
the multitude clamoring for the read
justment of an apparent wrong, so he
returned to Philadelphia and dashed
off the tune in question.
All went well until Secretary of War
Stanton heard the song. In a rage,
he ordered the arrest of Winner and of
any soldier caught singing the song.
Septimus Winner was arrested, and all
available copies of the song were de
stroyed.

Sound Two Bid.
QNE of the great advantage* of
opening certain doubtful hands
with a forcing two-bid lie* In the fact
that if you fail to do *o, even though
your partner responds to your opening
bid. you will have no way of show
ing your strength except by bidding
beyond game. For instance, the fol
lowing slam might well not have been
bid, if Mr. Lightner had chosen to
open with anything other than a forc
ing two bid.

6 A Pass Pass Pass
In spite of his high card value of
only II (four quick tricks), Mr. Light
ner felt fully justified in opening with
two, since his own hand would pro
duce game except against a very bad
trump break. The succeeding bidding
up to Mr. Lightner's bid of four spades
was reasonably obvious. Mr. Lightner,
of course, did not care to try for a
slam with his partner responding in
his own singleton suit. Finally, Mr.
Becker's bid of live spades was very
well thought out. It was obvious to
him that his partner’s opening two
bid was based, among several things,
on a very long spade suit. Mr. Becker
himself, in addition to the ace-king of
clubs, held two small trumps (suffi
cient support for a partner who had
already bid two, three and four) and a
singleton in one of the unbid suits.
Once his partner went to five spades,
Mr. Lightner felt no compunctions
about bidding six.
The hand was, of course, a laydown,
since the opposing trumps were
divided.
