COURTESY FOR TRAVELLERS. { Toronto Globe. Sir Henry Thornton gave a mes- sage to the employees of the Nation- al Railways that is worthy of being | inscribed in letters of gold on tha ! walls of every railway station in Canada: I especially want to ask ticket examiners, gatekeepers and trajn- men to extend a kindly hand and leaye nothing undone for comfort of the aged, women tra- velling with children, and those who may not have been unduly blessed with this world's goods. This is not intended for eriticism, for I have heard nothing upon the subject. I am only anxious that a high degree of courtesy be extenid- ed equally to young and old, rich and poor alike. No doubt there are many em- ployees of both railway systems who already act in this spirit, but it is right that it should be emphasized. { Travél which is a pleasure for the rich is often wearisome for the poor and heavy-laden, and the officlals can do much to brighten the jour- ney. 4 Sue Swanson in this plc. ture is the greatest Swan- son you've ever seen. ¢ As gorgeous and beautf- . ful and alluringly gowned as ever--, Now pp | | | Canada is already up to the eyes in religious sects and bodies.

AMUSEMENTS Comuing Attractions | i To-Night "The Unwanted Child." To sacrifice children on a "pagan" | altar was a creation by savages | thousands of years ago. Civiliza-| tion changed all this and today | Christianity sacrifices children by | way of the divorce courts or by more Hellish methods. Quite true, isn't it? Florence Edna May, daring auth-| oress of "The Unwanted Child" | which comes to the Grand tonight and tomorrow matinee #nd night, certainly was inspired to write such | a vital play as this. Certainly it is a strong defense for the child 'and Miss May is to be congratulated. It has the appeal of a lecture delivered by a woman who means what she says. To enjoy the play you must believe that love conquers all, even at the sacrifice. of a child, or will we subslitute."'passion conquers" instead of love? Therein Jies Miss May's motive in writing her play. She contends that love and passion are directly opposite, One must succumb to the other. "The Unwanted Child" car- ries its appeal direct to the heart and that is the reason Florence Edna May, authoress, is as famous a playwright as Laura Jean Libbey is an authoress of novels. At the daily matinees for ladies, a lecture of great interest to women will be delivered, : | Sor i "THE COVERED WAGON." Next Wednesday night at the Grand Opera House, "The Covered Wagon" will make good in advance reports that have preceded it from New York andl other cities.

The story is an adaptation of the lstage play by Maude Fulton. The star has the role of Toinette, a girl of the Parts underworld, leader of jthe Apaches, whose undaunted cour- jage makes her a heroic figure during the dark days of the world war.

She is too much for the authorities, though. The girl does great work in enlisting her associates into the service of France, for which she receives the pardon of France for her crimes and is decorated with the Croix de Guerre, won by an as- .sociate, ynfortunate on the field of battle.

Pittsburgh, Pa., Feb. 11.--Two prison officers were shot to death and a number of convicts were wounded, more or less seriously Lo- day, in a riot at the western pent- tentiary. After an hour's fight, dur- ing which riot guns, tear gas bombs, clubs and bricks were used, prison guards, assisted by the county de- tective and Pittsburgh police forces, succeeded in quelling the distur bance, which started when the con- victs used explosives in an effort to dynamite thelr way to freedom. No prisoner escaped. The dead are, Wil- liam Pieffer, assistant deputy ward- en, and J. A. Coax, an overseer. STOCK MARKETS _ (Reported by Johnston & Ward, 86 Princess street.

AUCTION BRIDGE ANALYZED BY WYNNE FERGUSON. Author of the Authorative Book: "Auction Bridge for 1023." "Although it was six years y ago - PROPER DEDUCTIONS, MARK OF AN EXPERT, SAYS WYNNE FER- GUSON--HE DISCUSSES INFERENCES, POSITIVE AND NEGOTIVE. Inferences or the deductions made from the bidding of partner or opponents are as important as any other one thing'in auction. If a player can make the proper deductions there is no reason why he shouldn't become an expert for he has mastered one of the most difficult points of auction. There are two kinds of Inferences that oocur in auction, positive inferences and negative inferences. Positive inferences are those drawn from the bids of partner or opponents. For example, suppose the dealer bids one diamond. The positive inference to be drawn from this bid is that the dealer holds two quick tricks in his hand, either in the dtamond suit or one quick trick in the . suit and one outside trick. Positive inferences such as these are easy if 4 the players are sound bidders and you can depend upon their bids. Nega- tive inferences, on the other hand, are drawn, not from the actual bids, but from the failure of partner or opponents to bid at all or thelr fallure to make certain bids. The following hands are good examples of how clever players draw the proper inferences trom the bidding: | % OLEVER DEDUCTIVE BIDS. Hand No. 1 h--109 2 c--A 8 3 d--Q 2 s--A J 107 s--6 No score, rubber game. Z dealt and bid one dub. one diamond, Y one spade and B passed. Second round: Z one no-trump, A pass, Y pass and B two hearts. Third round: Z pass, A pass, Y three clubs and B pass. Fourth hand: Z three no4trump and all pass. In this hand Z meade two very clever deductive bids. His bid of one no-trump on the second round was based entirely on B's failure to assist the diamond bid and the negative inference he drew that his {our diamonds to the ten would probably be. a stopper. His bid of three no-trump on the fourth round was based on his partner's bid of three clubs. That bid indicated to him that his club suit was probably set up and that there was a better chance for game in nostrump than in clubs. A game in no-trump Is possible, irrespective of the opening, but only four odd In clubs if A opens his king of diamonds as he should. The bid- ding by Z in this hand is very instructive and a good example of drawing the proper inferences. SOUND INFERENCES AND THEIR REWARD.

Z dealt and bid one heart, A passed, Y passed and B doubled. Second round: Z passed, A bid two clubs, Y passed and B bid two no-trump. Third round: Z bid three diamonds and A promptly bid three.no-trump and all passed. This bid by A is a fine deductive bid. His partner B has doubled one heart and also bid two no-trump, thus {ndicat- ing a fine all-around hand but only one stopper in the heart suit. If he had had more than one stopper in hearts, he would have bid one no-trump fnstead of doubling one heart, . A also has the hearts stopped and a much better club suit than his bid in answer to the double indicated. It was also pretty near a certainty that B had one or more stoppers in the diamond suit or his two. no-trump' would have been wu bad bid. AM in all, A's inferences were sound and rewarded by a game not otherwise possible." A-B must score game at no- trump irrespective of Z's opening.
