" The Mm Who Came to Be m Author rty on Card Games. Who was Hoyle, and why shoul( his name be used as a sort of guar antee of correctness so that it ad mits of no doubt or question? ask: a writer in Munse/s, who goes 01 to answer the question. Edmund Hovle was an English / o man, born near Halifax in the yea: 1672. Nearly 150 years before hi: birth there had been invented i game of cards which was originally called "triumph." Its early history is obscure, as is the case with nearly all games at cards, but it was nlmos certainly English in its Englisl game. The name was gradually shortened into "trump," and Shake speare puns upon it in "Antony anc Cleopatra." "Trump" became very popular but again the name was changed? it is not known precisely when?tc "whisk," and later still to "whist/ the word "trump" being retained tc denote a card of the leading suit Differences at play often led to vio lent disputes and sometimes even tc duels, and it was left for Hoyle tc establish all the points of the game with real authority. Hoyle was of good family anc was educated to be a barrister. His mind was essentially a legal mindkeen, judicious and logical. Livim in London, he became greatly interested in the game of whist anc gave to it the same thought anc care which he would have given tc an important case in court. Even evening he met with a regular company of whist players at the Crowr coffee house in Bedford row, where some cf the deepest players anc most distinguished men about towr used to gather. Iloyle's acumen and the scriou? thought which he had given to the game made his opinion on any dis; puled point absolutely final. His name was noised abroad throughout all London, and a great many people used to come to him, bcgginc him to give them lessons in whist. Finally, for the use of his pupils, lie wrote a book, which he called "A Short Treatise on Whist/' in which was embodied his notion of the cor rect way ot playing me game. Hoyle continued to give instruction in whist, and he also wrote books relating to other games at cards. The rules that he laid down were accepted by every one, so that when any dispute arose it was always decided "according to Hoyle/' He lived to be ninety-seven years of age, dying in 1769. It Had Not Hurt Him. An English coachman, "one of the olden time," is likely to be an original character. The late Archbishop Tait was driven by one of whom Dr. Benson ijsed to tell this *ood story: One day a clergyman who called it the palace asked him whether he still had as much to do as ever. The mswer was sublime: "There's always a goodisli bit dong, sir. But it has been a trifle easier since we took young Mr. Parry into the business." The Eight Rev. Edward Parry had then recently been appointed bishop suf^ agan of Dover. Another story he used to tell of a coachman will be new to many: A gentleman living in the neighoorhood of Addington, finding that ;he stablemen were not in the habit )f attending church, spoke to his ioachman about it. "They ought to go," he said. "That's just what I say myself, iir," was the rejoinder. "I says to ,hem: Txjok at me. I go, and what iarm does it do to me ?'" Bound to Bo Ready. The family were to leave town on ;he 2 o'clock train, so the mother laid, as she was hurrying along the ^reparations: "Now, children, get ready to go )efore luncheon. Don't leave any;hing to be done at the very last ninute." And the children said they would lot. Luncheon ended, they hurried nto their wraps and started. In the lall the mother said: "Edward, you didn't brush your ;eeth." "Yes, ma'am, I did." "But you couldn't," she said. 'You didn't have time. Why, you ust this minute got up from the ta >Ie." "I know that," said Edward, "but re were in such a hurry that I )rushed **em before I ate."?New fork Globe. Ready For the End.
