For twenty-seven years he ruled there as a despotic director. “The direction.” he wrote to his chief assistant, “acts according to its own views aud not in the least according to the demands of the public. Once for all understand that the public must be controlled.” When at length he forbade any expres- sions of approval or disapproval on the part of his public only the court and the Jena students continued to attend the theater. The crash came when Duke Karl Au- gust invited an actor who had scored heavily with a performing poodle in ' “The Dog of Montargis” to play at Weimar. After the first rehearsal he declined to have anything more to do | with a theater the boards of which had been desecrated by the presence of an animal.—Pall Mall Gazette. Nose Tip Vaccination.

All Japs of the older generation have that scar.” “Yes 7?" said the debutante. “Yes, it's a vaccination mark. Inthe old days. when compulsory vaccination first began. we Japs vaccinated every- body on the tip of the nose. Why? Well. because it was a good place, ' where there's no movement to rub off the scab, and also becanse a vaccina- tion scar on the nose was easily iden- tified by the medical officers of the | government. A man didn't have to take off half his clothes in order to prove that he'd been vaccinated. its good points. but before the modern hankering after beauty it had to go.” — New York _ribune.

The inquisitive traveler kept poking | ing of the packages, which probably his head out of the window of the car to the great annoyance of the conduc- tor who several times stopped to warn him against the danger. At length he tapped the careless one on the shoulder and said: “Pardon me, but this time I must in- sist that you withdraw your head.” Insolently the traveler spoke back over his sheulder without complying with the request: “Why?” “Oh,” said the conductor, nettled, “we are coming to a bridge, and I don't want any of the girders dam- aged by your head.” And then the head came in.—St. Lou- is Post-Dispatch.

Many Forms of Merrymaking for the Little Folks’ Holiday s— T Christmas time the children ' are bubbling over with the spirit of the season and the grown | ‘ folks’ thoughts turn to the little ones’ . fun and amusement at no time more than at the happy Yule Tide. With a little thought and prepara tion a children’s Christmas party | may be made such a joyous affair that | ts happy memories will linger with | he young folks for many years. | Here are some entertaining games | that will solve a problem for the per | plexed mother who perhaps is wonder | ing “What shall I have the children | play at the party? For when she | sends her “Come to my Christmas party” invitations, she knows that a successful children’s party means ~ op- { | something more than just “ice cream | and cake.” | These games will appeal to all the | children—the timid little girl, who is | inclined to shrink in the corner, as | . well as the big boy, who usually oc- cupies “the center of the stage.” i Santa Claus’ Reins. This game is very exciting. Three | pleces of white tape, each about am inch wide, and the length of the room, | are held at one end by three children. Three others are given pairs of scis sors and at a signal the players cut the tape in half lengthwise. The one who first rcaches the opposite end of the tape is the winner of that heat. The different winners contest until the champion is declared. Boys and girls, you know, love racing competi: tions of all kinds and this race is one that probably they never played be- | fore. Magic Musle. Although this is a game that per haps the mothers and fathers played when they went to kindergarten, it still causes much laughter and is al- ways successful. One child leaves the room and the | others decide upon something for him to do on his return. The musician regulates his playing, and the child | must guide his actions according to the loudness or softness of the musie. It is astonishing what different tasks are accomplished after a little prac- tice, and the children’s cries of “let | me go out next” prove their enjoy- | ment of “Magic Music.” Guéssing Holly Berries. For this game the child must put on his “thinking cap.” Hold a large spray of holly in your hand and al low the children to look at it for a few minutes. Then tell them to write their estimate of the number of holly berries on the branch. You might take a chrysanthemum also and ask them to guess how many petals in the flower. Great interest is shown when the petals are counted. A Christmas Doll. The idea of this game is to see who can make the prettiest doll out of a long smooth potato, two pieces of pretty colored tissue paper, some small sticks for legs and arms, and some pins. Or if you would rather pass clothes pins and let the children fashion dolls out of them, that will also answer the purpose. Place all the dolls in a row when completed, and have the children vote for their favorite one. You will be surprised to see what ingenuous re- sults the clever little fingers produce. A Noisy Game. Yes, it is noisy, but the children if “the roof comes down” at a Christ mas party? After a child leaves the room, a proverb is chosen. One word of it is given to each child. If there are more children than words contained in the proverb, then two or more chil- dren are given the same word. When the child outside the room returns, a leader counts “Ome, two, three.” At the “Three” all the children shout their given word. The child must guess the proverb. Santa Claus’ Grab Bag. On the invitation gtate that each child is to bring something to the party that he or she no longer cares for. This article Is to be in a neatly wrapped and tied parcel, so as to hide It is placed in a large bag, on the child's arrival. Bach child then draws a present from the bag. Uproars of laughter follow the open- will consist of peculiar articles of all sizes and descriptions. A Christmas Mix-Up. Provide the children with paper and pencil. Give them the following list of words pertainiug to Christmas. You see the letters are all twisted. It is their interesting task to straight. en them out. Key and list: 1. Christmas—Atschsmri., 2. Reindeer—Drierene. 3. Sleigh—Ileghs. 4. Mistietoe—Etlosmtie. 5. Holly—Oylhl, 6. Plum Pudding—Uplimdpudgni. 7. Santa Claus—Asculatsna. 8. Candles—Lcdnesa. —c— !

Li Pretty pictures taken from maga- | zines, advertisements and discarded |: HARKISON WALkex, picture books are cut up into several | Bellefonte, Pa., pieces and placed into envelopes. A good idea is to write the same num- | ber on the back of the envelope and | all pieces belonging to one puzzle, so that if a plece gets mixed with the | others it can be readily returned to its own set. Each child is handed a puzzle, and ' as soon as he succeeds in placing the | pieces in their proper position he is given credit for it by the score keeper, and receives another puzzle to work with. The one who succeeds | in putting together the most pictures | in a stated time receives a well earned prize. | Snowballs, i This is an amusing game. Snow- balls made of cotton batting and cov- ered with white tissue paper and a small basket are required. The play- ers stand about eight feet from the basket. The one who tosses the most balls into the basket is the prize win- ner. Each child might be given three snowbalis to start with. i A Christmas Spider Web. Take as many balls of twine as there are children expected at the party. To one end of each ball attach a card bearing the child's name and | to the other end an inexpensive gift. Twist the twine around the different | objects in the room. Give each child the twine and card bearing his name. | At a signal all begin to unwind the entangled web. Great is the fun and loud the exclamations when the. young people arrive at the end of their string and find a gift awaiting them. A Pop Corn Party. If you don’t mind the “muss,” and of course you won't, have a pop corn party. Have the children sit in a circle on the floor and provide each with a bowl of popcorn, a needle and | some coarse white thread. Tell them that the one who strings the longest | popcorn chain before the time is up will win the prize. Each youngster takes home his own string of corn. An Impromptu Entertainment. When the children are tired of romp- ing, let them sit on the floor in a circle and tell them you are going to have an entertainment, and that each child must do something to help make it a success. The youngsters will provide a variety of numbers for your impromptu program, from nurs- ery rhymes to fancy dancing.
