The origin of playing cards has boon and still is a disputed point Some historians credit them to the Chinese, who. by the way, invented or popu larized many of tho lngonious devices now in common use. Somo antiquar ians attribute them to tho Hindoos, who aro vory skillful players ut a card game in which ninety-six cards are usoi which makos eight, suits of twelve each. Tho story that cards were introduced into Kuropo for the diversion and amusement of Charles II., tho mad king of Franco, has long since been disproved. They made their appearance in Holland, Britain. Spain and Franco long before the demented monarch was born, a fact which the editor of ‘-Notes for the Curious” in tho SL Louis Republio says he can provo to tho satisfaction of certain be hind-the-times cyclopedia makors, if they care to change ti o old stereo typed falsehood. The early European packs contained fifty-six cards instead of fifty-twa tho extras being the ••cavaiiersL ” who stood betwoon the queens and the knaves. Besides these, tho early Western devotees of tho game often used as many ns twenty cards with the same power that the "joker” of the present panic has. Somo writers claim that West ern Europe was the first to use wood or ivory in placo of paper for cards, but Captain Dubois mentions a thir teenth century pack of Chinese cards ••carved the one and the other from* woode; the figures on the same being carved also instead of painted in nut gall, which is most common.” There wa3 a great deal of history in the gamo of cards as originally in tended. The four kings represented David. Alexander. Cmsar and Charle magne. The queens were Esther. Judith, Palais and Argute. During the time of tho American Revolution the soldiers whiled away the hours of camp life with cards which had tho pictures of Washington, l-ranklin, Adams and Lafayette in place of tho kings. A p:.ck of these historio oddities is now worth many times its ••weight in gold. ” The following from the Sioux city Journal is credited to one of the Iowa exchanges: “One of the pretty Sioux county school inarms who teach a few miles ont of town, was using all her ingenuity in teach ing an apparently dull little follow to spell and prououncosimplo words. She wrote the word “feet” upon the blackboard, but Johnny could not pronounce it, although ho could name the letters. With her most winning smile she said: ‘Now, Johnny, what is it that a cow has four of, while I have only twol’”’ The answer was prompt though unexpected, and the smile faded from her face, only to be multiplied on the face of sundry w'ieked little fellows who were not in the class.
