What Do You Know?
I'M THE GUY!
I'm the guy who won't "play the
game" unless he can make the rules.
You may think' I'm "spoiled" or a.
"fathead, but I don t see why l
should do anything another fellow's
way if I'd rather do it my way.
I want all the advantage all the
time and I know how I can get away
with things even if I'm wrong. If
it turns out right it gives, me a
chance to throw out my chest and
pose as a smart guy. And, if it turns
out wrong it gives me a chance to
make up my own alibi.'
But if I let the other fellows make
the rules I don't get a chance either
to rfhine or to get out from under so
cleverly. They may know more
about it than I do, but I don"t want
them to get that impression. And
rather than give them the. edge on
me I'll stay out and play safe.
Believe me, I'll never give you a
chance to put anything over on me I
But I'll put it over on you every
time I -can.

WHY? .'
Do "Court Cards" Appear in a
, Deck?
(Copyright, 1920, by the "Wheeler
. Syndicate, Inc.) " .
The names of the four kings
in a pack of cards are David,
Alexander, Caesar and Charles
the names of the four monarchies
of the Jews, the Greeks, n the
Romans and the Franks under
Charlemagne the Great. Their
names still- appear on the "kings"
in a French deck of cards. .
The queens, whose names are
also retained in the French packs,
are Argine, Esther, Judith and
Pallas typical of birth, piety,
fortitude and wisdom Argine be
ing an anagram for Regina, the
Latin equivalent of Queen.
The "knaves, or jacks" repre
sented the servants to the knights
"knave" originally meaning
"servant," as shown bv an old
translation of the Bible which
refers to St. Paul as "the knave
of Christ." The flames of Hogier
and Lahire, tw;o famous knights
of the ISth century, which appear
'on the French cards have led
many perons to believe, that' the
"knave -suit" represented 'the
knighthood, but a study of early
French and the name applied to
the cards shows that they re
ferred to the sarvants,.rather than
to the masters.-

bench on the other side. Grannie
Malone crossed herself, and then
they each took a potato and broiu
it open. They put salt on it, poured
a little milk into the skin ' which
they held like a cup, and it was
ready to eat.
Grannie poured the tea, and they
had milk and sugar in it. The lit
tle cakeen was broken open and
buttered, and, "Musha, 'tis fit for
the Queen herself," said Larry when
he had taken his first bite.
And Eileen said, "Indeed, ma'am,
it's a grand cook you are entire
ly." -
"Sure, I'd need to be a grand
cook with the grand company I
Kae," Grannie answered politelyj
and with the fine son I have in
America to be sending me a fortune
in every letterl 'Tis a great thing
to have a good son, and do you be
that same to your mother, the both
of you, for-'tis but one mother thai
you'll get in all the world, and
you've a right to be choice of her."
"Sure, I'll never at all be a good
son to my mother," laughed- Eileen.
"Well, then," said Grannie, "you
can be a good daughter to her, and
that's not far behind. Whist now,
till I tell you the story of the Lit
tle Cakeeen, and you'll see that 'tis
a good thing entirely to behave
yourselves and grow up fine and
respectable, hke the lad in the tale.
