Love came to me when | was young; He brought me songs, he brought me flowers; Love wooed me lightly, tree among, And dallied under scented bowers; And loud he carolled: “Love is king!’ For he was riotous as spring, And careless of the hours, When I was young. Love lingered near when 1 grew old; He brought me light from stars above; And consolations manifold; He fluted to me like a dove; And love leaned out of Paradise. And gently kissed my faded eyes, But whispered, “God is Love." — When I grew old. —Prancis Howard Williams. A Masked Hallowe'en Barn Dany. slo regard to games, there are so many time- honored ones, as well as tricks of all kind, that they could scarcely be crowded into one evening's entertainment. Tricks with es are always popular. Apples are cus in half and the seeds counted. them are foretold the likelihood of matrimony for she inquirers. The e of bobbing for apples still bas its for the new generation. Fill a tub with water nearly to the brim, propio dozen ruddy apples in the following each and place in the cavity a thimble, button, dime aod a ring, in each of the others a chestnut and replace as much of the core as will fit in snugly. The merry bobbers will be enthusiastic in their stroggle to capture a prize, a ‘‘good-luck?’ treasure. Suspend a lighted candle from one end of a horizontal pole that is hung from the ceiling at ot espe. hn She other wud bang an apple. pole will rotate at aD and lead the guests a merry chase in their endeavors to capture the re- volving apple in their mouths. This will prove to be a difficult and laughable feat. Another popular trick is that of roasting chestouts that have been named for sweet- hearts and lovers. If a chestnut should ex- plone and jump from the coals, that girl better not many, It is the girl whose chestnut roasts quietly and steadily who will make mary bog ue tem onions.

If the etalk is hard to pull up, it means that the lover or sweetheart will be hard to win, and the courtship will not be wholly serene. The shape and size of the ‘‘kale-stock’’ indi. cates the figure of the future husband or wife. If there is plenty of earth aroond ite roots, it means riches, ‘‘Snap-dragon’’ is one of the games in- variably associated with Hallowe'en. It is Played in the following manner: Tie to each of a large number of raising a motto in tinfoil for good luck. These are d ped into a tub of water, a little alcohol 18 ured o the surface and Shes sa, on fire. any player can procure a ‘‘snap-dragon while thie is burning, he or she has pro- cured a ‘‘lortune,’’ which is sure to come true. This is the Eoglish way of playing ‘‘snap-dragon,’’ and prizes are given some- times to the one having the greatest num- ber of raisins, but burned fingers are sure to result. Another method consists in spreading a capful of coarse salt in a plas- ter, pouring plenty of alcohol over it, and setting it alight. Throwing raisins into the burning platter and grabbing for them is “‘snap-dragon.”’ Among the numerous other games which may be mentioned as appropriate are ‘“‘Silbouette Pictures,” the fun consisting in guessing ‘“Who's who?" when the shadows are thrown on a suspended sheet. “Lucky Findings’ is another. In this the game is finding a lucky charm which has heen dro near the prospective chairs of the players. This charm will bring good luck a husband or wife within the coming year—the charm being some symbol! of the day.

Every election day is a sort of judgment day for the individual voter, as well as for the conutry.

A voter little acquainted with his- tory, a man ignorant of the traits which have marked the demagogues of all ages— especially the demagogues who use money JaVisly- nay bave ample excuse for being misied, finding the demagogue’s money actually in band and hearing the promise ofa pt for the better in all the conditions of life. Bat for the man who has had the ity of learning from books and from life the traits which mark the brazen, self-seeki sell-advertising, eensational, mischief. d em ioe sach 3 i to Ti octoage dri ps into e position of an supporter of a charlatan pio excuse, One may well ask why sincere believers in a cause are often so reckless in the choice of leaders; why they les the leaders, in fact; choose themselves, then feebly acquiesce. After acquiescing, they soon become ad- vooates, repeating by rote the phrases that the adventurer bas put into their mouths, and lending their influence to the creation of standards which demoralize the com- munity. For it is right standards, and these alone, which save the community. There were noble standards in the mi of the genera- tion that created the new republio of the New World, and there were noble stand- ards in the minds of the generation that brought us through the civil war. There were standards of high principle, and standards of high character, in the chief up- holden of those ® in pa. Doubtless neither era was without its demagogues, but the leaders were not of these. Every citizen, every voter, who takes a part in advancing the selfish career of a charlatan is doing irreparable harm to the country in his day and generation. Let such a citizen not excuse himself! on ac- count of his devotion to some particular cause, which also the charlatan pledges himself to support. The good citizen should think too highly of his cause to wish to see its sacred banners borne by im- pure bands. He ought to be aware that the charlatan’s support of some canse or other is Siwolutel$ necessary to any sort of success at the polls. For the political ad- veuturer most free-handed with bis money knows well enough tbat votes cannot be secured by the distribution of cash for ‘‘ex- penses’’ on a large enough scale to carry elections over a wide territory, without adding to the influence of money the in- fluence of a cause. A citizen with any desire to be counted among the good elements of a community should make himself felt before the elec- tion, as far as his influence may extend, in the selection of candidates of character, and on eiection day be should discriminate among the candidates with the same stand- ard io view. Above all, he ought to do his best endeavor to keep from being made either a tool or a fool of. — Advices from Russia are to the effect that court circles have received private in- formation from St. Petersburg that the health of the czar is slusing grave alarm. His mental condition is causing comment by those near him at Peterhof, and the strain which be has been under for #0 long is unmistakably telling on the emperor. Sleeplessness and fear that his will the | po poisoned are the chief causes of the czar’'s breakdown. He is using strong opiates constantly, and has not eaten normally for months, that his dish- es have tampered with. In British cours circles it would not be a surprise to hear of the czar's abdication. Saunders, the vil slater, was a very attender at the church.
