THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 1000.
FOR THE CHILDREN
Bachelor's Kitchen.
The players sit In a row, with the
exception of one, who walks before
them nnd asks each what she will rIvc
to help furnish the bachelor's kitchen.
Each may nnswer anything she
pleases, but no two can give the same
thing.
Then the (lucstloner goes back to the
first In the row and asks a dozen ques
tions, to fill of which the others must
answer only by naming the article he
or she has given. Of course the an
swers will bo very absurd, but any one
who laughs must pay a forfeit.
For instance, the questioner asks:
"What did you give to the bachelor's
kitchen?"
A. "A dishcloth."
Q. "What do you carry in your pock
et?" A. "A dishcloth."
Q. "What do you wear on your
head?"
A. "A dishcloth."
Q. "What do you sleep on at night?"
A. "A dishcloth."
And so on.
Gallery of Statues.
For this game all the company leave
the room with the exception of two.
One of these then stands like a statue,
with perhaps the assistance of n table
cloth or something similar, as drapery,
while the other acts as showman.
When the position Is decided upon
one of the company Is called in and
taken on one side by the showman and
Is asked his or her opinion as to the
merits of the statue. It is almost cer
tain that some suggestion will bo
made. In that case the newcomer is
made to assume the attitude suggested,
and nnothcr player is called In, to
whom the same question Is put and nn
other suggestion made and adopted.
As each statue is added to the gallery
a great deal of merriment is caused,
and in a short time a largo collection
will be obtained.
What and Why Riddles.
What question Is that to which you
must always answer "Yes?"
What does "y-e-s" spell?
What four letters of the alphabet
would frighten a thief?
O I G U.
What Is the difference between a
new live cent piece and an old fash
ioned quarter?
Twenty cents.
Why is a wick of a candle like Ath
ens? Rccauso it is in Greece.
Why is a fender like Westminster
abbey?
Because it contains the ashes of the
great.
What is that which a car cannot
move without and yet is not in the
least useful?
A noise.
A Common Error.
An error that Is frequently made and
for which there should bo no excuse
save that of Ignorance Is often said to
be the result of hurried composition,
but you will admit that that is less
than no excuse at all. It Is the use of
the objective case instead of the pos
Btssivo before a gerund or verbal
noun ending in ing. As an illustration,
take this phrase that was Inadvertent
ly published in a newspaper: "To pre
vent them making n rush." Of course
this error may bo corrected In one of
two ways: "To' prevent their making a
rush," or "to prevent them from mak
ing a rush." If you will think only a
moment the reason will bo obvious.

Flowers A Game.
The company divides itself Into
equal sides, and each side must have
a "home" in opposite corners of the
lawn. The sides retire to their own
"homes," and one side privately
chooses a llower. then crosses over to
tho other side mid gives tho Initial
letter of that llower. Tho children on
tho second side must try to guess
tho nanio of tho llower, and when they
have done so they catch as many as
they can of tho opposite side befon
they reach their "homo."
Those caught must go over to the
other side, and the game goes on until
one side lias won all tho children. The
sides take It In turns to give tho name
of tho llower.
An Unwritten Sentence.
There is one sentence in tho English
language which cannot bo written
properly, though it is correct when
spoken. Hero is tho sentence, though,
of course, there is no rule for writing
it: "There are three twos in the Eng
lish language." But tho problem Is,
how is one to know which two or to
or too to write? We have the three
twos, but wo must spell each of the
three differently, so the sentence can
not bo written correctly.
A Numerical Puzzle.
AVhat can we add to nlno so as to
make It six? Just add "a" and you
have it. Nine is "IX.," and if you add
"s" to this it makes It "six," doesn't it?
The City Garden.
I have a garden all my own.
Nobody knows how it has grown.
There are thistle flowers and buttercups
And lady's slippers, too,
And Just the other day I found
Some violets all blue.
Then there are cockleburs to make
Baskets and nests, you know,
Dear green and purple spiky things.
I wonder how they grow?
For no one came and put them there.
They Just are growing wild.
I think God mutt have planted them
For me, a city child.
Nobody knows how It has grown,
This little garden all my own.

A Big Investment.
"That's right, confound ye!" mused
Mr. Meddergrass the first evening aft
er his return from the city, pouring a
churn of buttermilk Into the trough
for his pigs. "That's right! Gobble it
up. You will represent an investment
of thousands of dollars to mo by pig

termilk at a sody fountain in the city
an' they charged me 10 cents for it."

And vanished out of sight.

For not a single shred was left
Of what had never been.

Better Late Than Early.
There Is a certoln young New York
broker whoso recent sad experience In
endeavoring to pull tho wool over his
wife's eyes has led him to declare
"Never again."
Now, it Is the broker's custom to
take a 0:30 suburban train, thus en
abling him to reach his homo in West
chester in ample time for the early
dinner that both he and his wife like.
The other day he fell. Meeting an
old college mate, he yielded to tho kit-

When hubby finally did show up. hi
observed an expression on the couute
nance of bis spouse that argued tin
failure of his little fib.
"What's tho trouble, dear?" ho ask

Christening the Twins.
In an English village a mluer's wife
presented him with twins. At the
usual time the twins had to be chrls

friends proceeded to the church to fix
tho names of the children. The minis
ter asked the father the names of the
twins, and he quite proudly replied:
"Steak and Kidney, sor!"
"Come, come!" replied tho minster
"These are odd names for your chll

"What d'ye mean, Geordio?" cried
his wife. "It's Kate and Sidney."
"Ayo, it is, sor. Aa thout it was like

Temperament Doesn't Count.
They hadn't seen each other for sev

looked at each other, afraid to ask
after their husbands. Finally one
spoke.
"You know," she said, "that my hus
band and I are no longer living to
gether. He left mo flat on my back in
a hospital. II o wroto me that he
thought all artists should havo their
freedom, that they should not be bound
by family ties. 1 suppose," with n
sigh, "that it was what ono would call
the artistic temperament"
"It is not altogether confined to art
ists," said the other woman. "My
husband was a plumber, and he did
the same."
