Letters of a Home Made
Father to His Son
On Bridge A Game of Insujts in
Dress Spits.
Dear Son: In the course of an
an education I suppose you're bound
to pick up a certain number of bad
habits. They seem to go with the
sale of brains the same way cigar
coupons are handed out with tobac
co. I ain't criticizin, mind you. It
seems to me that bad habits is sme
thin like the measels. If you got
to have em, have em young an then
ferget em.
There's a few bad habits, though,
that don't seem necessary no matter
how educated you be. One of 'em is
this here game of Bridge. Bridge aint
like the measels. I. don't appear once
an then go way fer good; It's more
like a beard what keeps growin fast
er the oftener you try to get rid of
I speak with some feelin about
this fer sooner or Jater in the life ot
evry man there ccwes a time when
he grabs the baby's bank in one
hand an a deck ot cards in the
other and goes out to wressel with
the temtation to earn his livin be
tween supper an bed time. It don t
make no difference how you live
vour life. You can be a pillow of
the church fer 40 . years an- then
some night you'll find yourself sneak-'
in home by the back streets with a
book of rules under your arm.
About the only advantage I can
fit A in lYi cram is that it's a ereat
help to folks what likes to talk but
has nothin to say. If ' you spend
your evenins playin Bridge your con
versation is all laid down fer you
in black and white by the rules. The
only things that is left t6 your Imag
ination is, "Good evenin," an, 'Good
night." .
When your mother wants to nave
some old friends in of an evenin that
she aint seen fer some time she in
vites em round to play a little Bridge.
The social part of the evenin. lasts
while the guests is bein removed
from their coats an hats. It there s
any news to be told that's the time
to tell it Once they get round the
table the first one what says any
thing not in the rules is put in the
same class as safe crackers an blue
law legislates, besides gettm fined
30 points. s; '" '
Requirements of a Player.
Any man can play a good game of
bridge if he's able to smile polite and
keep one thumb in his change pocket
at the same time. The .committee on
rules, realizin that the game was to
be played by educated and refined
people, has taken every precaution.
The players must wear stiff dress
shirts and non-collapsable collars
at least two inches high. This is to
prevent a ay of them from reachift
down suddenly to release an ace
which might have got caught in his
shoe. Two packs of cards is used
neither of which is to be played
with at the same time. One pack is
to be shuffled, inspected, an locked
in the safe fer 15 rninites before each
deal
The deafer, fcavin rolled up his
sleeves an turned down the cuff di his
trousers, takes the pack firmly in his
right hand an says to the man next
to him: '
, "Would it tire you to cut?"
"It would be a pleasure." (Under
this year's rules" he says, "May I
have the privelege?" but there is a lot
of opposition to this change an, most
folks has refused to do it.) -
He then cuts an the cards is dealt
Everybody now picks up their
hands an arranges them in a series
of straight" flushes. This bein done
each player bows to the left. The
dealer then makes a bid. Perhaps he
says: ' " " ,
"I bid two clubs." This means that
he has in his hand five high hearts,,
four low' spades, the ace, queen an
ten of diamonds an the advertisin
card telliu what it costs to renew the
deck when its worn out.
This is what is known as a signal
It is a scientifically worked out
scheriie of dcludin everybody except
the folks you're playin against. It's
the same as if the Quarterback on a
football team was to get up an say:
"When I give the word the right
half back wjll Tun violently round
left end but it's a trick play fer I'm
the boy that's goin to take the ball an
I'm goin through center where you
least, expect me."
The second player then bids three
hearts which means that he's- strong
on everything up to the fours.
The third player says, "Igobi,"-the
same bein a Rushian word indicatin
that after glancin at his hand it looks
more to him like a foot.
. The fourth player frowns, looks at
the ceilin, folds his cards in a pile,
makes them into a fan again an says,
"Och!" which indicates that if he
had a head like his partners he'd use
it fer a vacuum cleaner instead of fer
playin' Bridge.
The Game Proceeds.
Everybody now knows what
everybody else thinks of em an the
first part of the game is over.
At this point the third player
bows to the player on his left -an
says: f
"May I play?" Whereupon the
player on his left returns the bow
an says: "Fer Hevin sake please
do."
The third player then shuts his
eyes and selects a card which he lays
on the table.
In all the games I've seen one of
the players usually gets mad about
now an throws down his hand re
fusin to have anything more to do
with the game. He then shows his
interest in the partyby lookin at the
family album an yawnin while the
other three finish out as best they
can without him.
The rest of the game don't make
much difference anyways. As near as
"I can observe it's something like
slapjack. Everybody throws a card
on the table an the quickest ' man
pulls -em in. When all the cards is
distributed the one who's managed
to grab the most wins. Then comes
the third an last part of the game.
"May I ask," says the dealer,
polite; of the opposite pjayer, "What
was your idear, if any, in leadin the
Jack of Diamonds?"
"An may I inquire," says his pard
ner with equal coutesy, "if it was
the dinner or some inherited brain
trouble that made you follow it with
the Queen of Clubs?" f
After everybody had proved that
all the others did wrong when they
gave up playin Old Maid an took op
Bridge, one of the players writes
dowp the score figerin it in with
compound interest It takes hard
trsnia an an easy coMcience to be
a good score keeper. In order to
take the sting out of defeat they've
arranged jt so that the fellow that
wins usually loses. Havin won six
games straight you hand over your
gold watch to your humiliated op
ponent, borrow a nickel an retire vic
torious.
Fer Bridge is a gamblin game, but
unlike any other gamblin game the
stakes is a secret till the evenin's
over. Anybody ignerant an uncultured
enough to ask what they re playin
"I Take All the Rest"
fer before the butler serves the ice
water loses all chances of bein al
lowed to go broke again in such de
sirable company. ;
f The Host on Top. 1
? This rule was invented to give the
host a chance to r)ut the party on a
payin basis, line finds hisself a head
at the end of the evenin, he Sets the
limit at five cents a point with the
gentleman's understanclin that he fur
nish at his expense pulmotors, smel
lin salts an carfare to the departin
guests. If he finds hisself behind, he
charges the cigars to business ex
pense and declares the game just a
friendly way of passin the evenin.
Half the game lies in gettin the
reputation fer bein a shark. Once you
have that there's nothin you can't do.
If you don't like your cards you can
throw em down after the third hand
an say: .
"I, take all the rest," bein careful of
course not to mix the cards up quick
so's Nobody can't look at em, too
close. By repeatin rapidly the next
six cards that you'd have played ev
erybody gets so dizzy that they'll
agree with you for fear of showin
brains'. I suppose if four people got
good enough they wouldn't have to
do anything but just deaj an look
at their hands. ,
Tooch Frisbee says that a good
game of Bridge ' is better security
fer your family than a life insurance
policy. I hope he's right fer the time
is comin when no life insurance com
pany will dare issue a policy to a man
what plays too good a game. '
Hopin you will take heed to these
remarks I remain. 7

"Cooked Up" Evidence Fails
To Convince Police Judge
Los Angeles,. Feb. 12. Evidence
that, is in any way "cooked up" does
not "go" in Police Judge Hugh J.
Crawford's court.
This was declared to have "been
proved after the judge had dismissed
a case against H. Zirn, a harbor fish
erman and captain of a vessel of the
local fishing fleet
Zirn was taken into custody by a
deputy of the state fish and game
commission. The officer took from
the fisherman as evidence three gun
nysacks filled with lobsters. It was
charged that many of the lobsters
exceeded 16 inches in length, the
maximum size permitted by the law
for such catches.. 1 . ' '
As the fisherman was not taken im
mediately to court, the deputy con
ceived the idea of boiling the evi
dence as a precautionary measure.
The court held that the evidence had
been tampered with and that, as
cooking lobsters causes them to
shrink, the judge could not take cog,
nizance of their condition prior to
the cooking. .
The case was dismissed and
Fisherman Zirn released.

word pointed the gun with which
he had killed her husband at her
and shot her down. ,v
Then he carefully carried their
bodies out of the house-to the
rear of a barn and with the aid of
a lantern ' uried them in a shal
low grave which he dug. He
spent that night in the home of.
his murdered relatives and re
mained in the neighborhood -for
several days. When the disap
pearance of his brother and his
wife became known Barker, ques
tioned, told several different stor
ies which finally resulted in his
arrest, his subsequent conviction
and hanging.
Meets Death Calmly.
During the four years he spent
in the penitentiary after the com
mission of the crime and execu
tion, Barker never once was con
fined, in the death cell. , He oc-'
cupied a cell, the same as ordin
ary prisoners, worked' with them
in the shops and enjoyed the priv
ileges they enjoyed. At no time
during the full four-year period
did Barker collapse arfd show any
outward signs of remorse for his
crime. He bravely walked to the
gallows and with the same air of
bravado tliat; had marked his every t
action, ? tood calmly while the
hangman's knot was fixed, the
black cap adjusted and the trap
sprung.
But one month before the exe
cution of Barker, Harrison Clark,
colored, of Omaha, was executed
for the murder of Edward Flurry,
a street car conductor df Omaha.
Flurry was murdered on the night
of March 8, 1906, at the Albright
street, car "Y" 1 during a holdup
He died nine days later in a local
hospital.
Plays Quits..
, During the time that he was
held in the , prison, Clark con-
tented himself, ith the strumming
of a guitar which Warden Beemer
permitted him to l:..p in his cell.
At no time . did he display any
emotion or remorse for his crime,
but at 'eVery opportunity he pro
tested that he was innocent of the
crime for which' he was convicted.
Immediately following his last
meal Clark called for a cigar,
which was given him. Shortly
after, while talking with newspa
permen, he delivered a speech in
' which he warned against the use
tof intoxicating liquor. Following
this he picked up his guitar and
continued to strum it while wait
ing for the arrival of the guards
to start the death march. ( '
' As he left his cell on the way
to the gallows, he continued to
puff on his cigar- He puffed the
cigar on the scaffold while his
arms and legs were being tied by
the executioner's assistants and
did not throw it away until the
black cap was pulled down over
his face, .y
"Hanging Innocent ManP
With the placing of the cap over
his eyes, .he displayed the first
signs of a. collapse. Screeching at
the top of his voice, he said:
"I want a bag with something
heavy to put on my feet" He re
peated this request several times
and then with a final effort cried
out: .
"Goodby everybody. You're
hanging an innocent, man for a
crime he .never committed. Tell
my mother to pray for me." As
the sound of the words from be
neath the black cap died away, the
-trap, was sprung and 13 minutes
later he was declared dead by the
prison ahysician.

Frank .Barker to the gallows.
Shumway was condemned-1 to die
. for the murder of Mrs. Sarah
Martin, wife of his former em-,
ployer in Adams county, on Sep-"

on Marth 5, 1909.

ACTRESS TELLS SECRET
Tells How to Darken Gray Hair With
a Home-Made Mixture..
Joicey Williams, the well-known
American actress, recently made the
following (statement about gray hair
and how to darken It with a home
made mixture: ,
"Anyone can prepare a simple
mixture at home that will gradually
darken gray, streatoed or faded Jiair
and make it soft and glossy. To a
half-pint of water add one ounce
of bay rum, a small box of Barbo
Compound and quarter ounce of
glycerine.
These ingredients can be bought
at any drug store at very little cost.
Apply to the hair twice a week until
the desired shade Is obtained. This
will -make a gray-haired person look
twenty years younger. It does not
color the scalp, Is not sticky or
greasy and does not rub off."

BLACKHEADS GO QUICK
BY THIS SIMPLE METHOD
Blackheads big ones or little
ones soft ones or hard ones on
any part of the body, go quick by a
simple method that just dissolves
them. To do this get about two
ounces of calonite powder from your
druggist sprinkle a little on a hot,
wet sponge rub over the black
heads briskly for a few seconds
and wash off. You'll wonder where
the blackheads have gone. The
calonite powder and the hot water
have just dissolved them. Pinching
and squeezing blackheads only open
the pores of the skin and leave them
open and unsightly and unless the
blackheads are big and soft they
will not come out, while the simple
application of calonite powder and
water dissolves them right out, leav

their natural condition. You can get
calonite powder at any drug store

unsightly blemishes you should cer

and her husband. On September
3, Mr- Martin drove tu towa leav
ing his wife and Shumway at the
home. Upon his return he found
his wife had been murdered and
the farmhand missing. He spread
the alarm but Shumway managed
to make his escape. He finally
was located in Missouri, where he
was working on a farm. He was
well known in the community
where he was captured and no
trouble was experienced in find
ing him after the murder, v
. Snatched From . Gallows.
He was returned for trial, was
convicted and sentenfed to hang.
Six times he literally was snatched
from the gallows by reprieves
granted by the governor. A legal
struggle almost unprecedented in
the criminal courts of the state was
waged in an attempt to have him,
but death was the final victor.
Shumway protested his inno
cence from the time of his arrest
and His last statement, made from
- the scaffold, was: , '
"May God forgive all of you who
have had anything to do with me,
for you are hanging an innocent
man." The trap then was sprung
and 2iy minutes later he was pro
nounced dead. Death was due to
strangulation, he being of too light
a physique to cause "death by
" breaking his neck by the fall.
; ' Captured' in California.
- On October 10 of the following
year Bert M. Taylor was executed
for the murder of the two unmar
ried sisters of his dead wife at their
home near Minden. Taylor was
captured in California after a' chase
of several months' duration. He
was convicted of the murder and
burning of the home of his sisters-in-law
in an effort to cover his
crime. No signs of malice or of
physical collapse marked his ap
pearance on the gallows before his
trap was sprung. .
Thomas Johnson, a negro of
Omaha, 18 months later followed
Taylor to the scaffold. He was
convicted of the murder of Henry
Frankland, a transient in Omaha.
Frankland was found murdered
under the Tenth street viaduct,
near the Union station. The mur
der was committed on the night of
October 3, 1909. Frankland was
returning to his home in Chicago
from Montana, where he had been
working, and was supposed to have
considerable money on his person.
Robbery was proven at the trial of
Johnson to be the motive for his
crime. Johnson during his incar

Prince wa's convicted at Lincoln
(of the murder of Deputy Warden
Davis on February 11, 1912, while
he was serving' a sentence of 2'j
years. The murder occurred in
the assembly room of the prison.
Davis, who was on duty in the
assembly room, was stabbed by
Prince as the negro passed him
on his way out of the room to
go to his cell. The murder was
committed with a knife stolen
from the broom factory. ..Davis
was so seriously wounded that he,
died a few hours later.
The murder preceded the out
break of "Shorty" Gray and his
gang, with their subsequent mur
ders, by about , six weeks. .
Prince spent his last days in the
death cell writing poetry. His
final statement, aside from several
letters and poems that he had
written while in the death cell,
was: "When I fall to my d,eath

Thirteen minutes later he was
pronounced dead, and once again

penalty for ' the commission ' of
murder in this state. Prince was
a negro with a bad record. He

where he was suspected of having
committed many burglaries. 'He
was captured in an Omaha saloon
by a policeman who recognized
him from his picture, but was

Alkali In Soap
i Bad For the Hair
Soap should bo used very careful
ly, if you want to keep -your hair
looking its best. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle and ruins it
The best thing for steady use Is
Mulsificd cocoanut oil shampoo
(which is pure and greaseless), andJ
is better than anything else you can
use.
One or two teaspoonfuls of mulsi
fled will cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. "Simply moisten the
hair with water anil rub it in. It
makes an abundanco of rich, creamy
lather, which rinses out easily, re
moving every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. Tlve hair
dries quickly and evenly and it leaves
the scalp soft .and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy

such remarkable results.- Here is the-,
identical formula that removed every de
fect from my face, neck, hands and arms.
Until you try it you can form no idea of
the marvelous change it will make' in just

first application will astonish yon. It
makes the skin appear transparent, smooth
and velvety. I especially recommend it
for dark, sallow skin, freckles, tan, sun
spots, coarse pores, rough skin, shiny nose,
ruddiness, wrinkles, and, in fact, every
blemish the face, hands and arms are heir
to. If your neck or chest is discolored
from exposure apply this combination there
and the objectionable defect will disappear
as if by magic. It is absolutely harm
less and will not produce or stimulate a
growth of hair. Since short sleeves are'
in vogue it is necessary to have beautiful
hands and arms and no matter how rough
and ungainly the hands and arms, or what
