The Following is sent out from
Palm Keach, I:la: "Mrs. Her
mann Oelrichs, of New York, is
reported to have won $4,000 in
one night and $fi00 and $700 on
other nights at bridge. Her win
nings are said to be larger than
those of any oihtr woman here
this season." "Bridge" in this
case is "bridge whist," a popular
society card game. In some places,
where they haven't the nerve to
play for money straight out, the
society folks "beat the devil round
the slump" by giving prizes at
card games. In the "higher up"
social circles, where they are
wealthy enough to do as they
please to defy public opinion and
the law they play for money
straighiout; and really if they're
going to gamble it is better to go
straight to it.

A SUMMER IN THE VALLEY.
A summer in the valley, with lovers hand in hand,
The babbling Shenandoah singing dinies 10 the land;
The green land of Virginia,
That it kisses as it flows
Through the country of ihe clover
And the Eden of the rose.
A summer in the valley, and it makes the soul so young
To hear the Shenandoah on the soft Virginia tongue;
The dream land ot Virginia,
With green fields to the knee
In blue grass bobbing gently
O'er the dead that died for l.ee.
A summer in the valley, and it's come up little lad
To ihe waters of the river that are babbling bright and glad;
The waters of Virginia,
With the sunlight in their net,
And the dreams of daisied meadows
With the dews of Dixie wet.
A summer in the valley, just with love to stroll along,
Or swing within the hammock to the low tune of a song;
The song of Shenandoah,
That is silver to the sea
Sings the golden dreams of summer
In the Dixieland of Lee.
