Contradictory Proverbs.
The llrst player (fives a well known
proverb. Thm next must quote one of
as nearly an opposite iwiiiiIiik as pos
slblo. As an Illustration, "Out of sinht out
of in 1 1 id," quickly offset by the equally
familiar saylnsr. "Absence makes the
f heart grow fonder." N
A list of these scpmliiKly contradic
tory proverbs might be written upon
folded cards and ono Riven to each
player, who must write upon the op
posite pai;p the proverb that contrii
" diets the one given.
Here Is n list of some of them: "A
stitch In tlnio saves nine," "A tear Is
mi accident; a darn Is premeditated
poverty."
"A rolling stone gathers no moss,"
"If nt flrHt you don't succeed, try, try
again."
"Ronuty unadorned Is adorned the
most," "Oil" might as well bo out of
the world as out of the fashion."
"Marry In haste and repent at lei
sure," "Hapny the wooing that Is not
long n-dolier."
"Nothing venture nothing bnve,"
"Discretion Is the better part of valor."
Fox and Geese.
Ono of the party, called the fox in
. this game, goes to one end of the room,
and tho rest of the children arrango
themselves in n ring, one behind tho
other, the tallest llrst and the smallest
last. Tho llrst oue Is called Mother
Goose. The game begins by a con
versation between the fox and Mother
Goose. "What are you after this morn
ing?" says she. "Taking a walk," the
fox answers. "What for?" "To get
an appetite for breakfast." "What will
V yon have for breakfast?" "A nice fat
goose." "Where will you get It?"
"Well, as your geese are so handy I
will take one of them." "Catch one if
you can."
Mother Goose then stretches out bor
arms to protect her geese and not let
the fox catch one. The fox tries to
dodge under, right and left, until he Is
able to catch the last of the string.
Of course the brood must try to keep
out of reach of the fox. As the geese
are caught they must go over to the
den of the fox, and the game continues
until all are caught.
Literal Ted.
There la a little boy Ave years old
who takes everything literally and by
so doing causes much amusement. Not
long ago he heard his father say,
"Well, 1 am going to take the bull by
tho horns!" whereupon Ted set up a
wall:
"Oh, don't you do It, papa," he
pleaded; "It is a terribly dangerous
thing to d."
Another day bo was given a glass
of lemonade by a young lady. "Teddy's
got the clam." she laughed ns a bit of
ice slipped Into the glass.
"Dear me," frowned Teddy, "that Is
too bad. I never take clams In my
lemonade."
Blow the Candle.
Place a lighted caudle on a table at
the end of u room. Invite some one
to stand In front of it, then blindfold
him, make him take three steps back
ward, turn round three times and then
advance three steps and blow out the
candle. If he falls he must pay a for
feit It will be found thai few are
able to succeed, simple though the test
appears to be.
'l The Huckster Man.
Oh, do you know our huckster man?
HI name la Mr. Brown,
, And all the children think he la
The nicest man In town.
Sometimes he .rings a little bell
To tell he's on the iajr.
But other times he Just calls out.
And then we hear him say:
"Ap-poles! A p-poles I Ap-polesl 'Ta-toes!
y a-toes! Ap-polesl 'Ta-toes!"
He has a bright red wagon
And a big and gentle horse.
And the waeon's plied with barrels
- Filled with thlnga to eat. of course.
And he never seems to mind a bit
The children standing by.
We always run to meet him
When we hear his well known cry:
"Ap-pole.r! Ap-poles! Ap-polest ' Ta-toes 1
'Ta-toes! 4 p-poles! 'Ta-toes!"
And then he says, "Here, sonny;
I've been saving this for you."
And down there comes an apple
Or a plum or maybe two..
Or, "Bister, how'd you like a peach?"
1 He baa a gift for all.
No wonder that we children like
To hear our huckster call:
: "Ap-poles! Ap-poles! Ap-poles! 'Ta-toesl
j 'Ta-toes! Ap-polesl 'Ta-toes!"

Eleles
III. -Make a. Noise Like
a Dollar
The man who gets ahead is the
one who makes a noise, and it'i the
same with a town.
But it must be the RIGHT KIND
OF NOISE.
There are millions of noises in the
world and only one kind worth
making. That's the kind a man
learned about when he tried to in
terview a great financier.
He had spent several days trying?
to get into the private office of the
old Ekinflint, but was always headed
off.
At Inst ho went to a friend for nd
vice. "I'll tell you what to do," raid
the friend. "Ton rp own ond stand
in front of the old fellow's doir and
MAKE A NOISE LIKE A D0LLAE.
When he comes out to grab you, that
will be your chance."
That's the kind of noise we should
make in this town.
We should sound like ready
money and look like it.
Nothing would bring new busi
ness and hustling citizens quicker
than a NOISE LIKE A DOLLAR.
Every letter that goes out should be
an advertisement for our town.
If you don't know how to make a
NOISE LIKE A DOLLAR, just call
on ns, and we'll try to help you.
One way is to advertise. .When
everybody gets to making theVight
kind of noise it will be worth while
watching things boom. v.
A Kiok For Consistency.
The commuter with n grievance open
ed the door of tho general passenger
agent's department, pushed aside the
boy at the railing and stalked up to
the chief clerk's desk and relieved him
self as follows:
"Maybe I have no kick coming when
I go to the station on time every morn
ing for six weeks to catch the 8:08
train, only to find it from five to ten
minutes late maybe I haven't, 1 say.
But when I get there two minutes Into
on the first yinorulng of the seventh
week, only to see the rear end of the
train disappearing cityward, then, by
tbundor. 1 have a large sized kick com
ing; and I'm here to register it!" Ex
change.
8he Could Cook.
Be had wedded a popular actress,
much to the dismay of his friends,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He
was fond of the practical things of
life. His friends wore sure the profes
sional lady would prove anything but
a helpmeet to him. It was their tirst
breakfast iu the pretty suit in tho little
fiat. The coffee was delicious, the
steak of the exact rareness he prefer
red, and he bad never eaten such rolls.
He bold oue of the latter aloft. "Why.
where did you buy thetn, my love 7"
he asked. She flung' hint a bewitching
smile. "I created those rolls." she dra
matically answered. "You?" he cried.
"Yes," she replied. "I wns cooking In
a downtown restaurant when 1 went
on the stage."
Not an Umpire
1 clergyman startled his drowsy
congregation the other day as follows:
"My dearly beloved friends, permit
me to remind you that I come here to
preach, not to act as umpire In a snor
ing match."
The Explanation.
Fred There seems to be a lot more
fuss made of Miss A.'s singing than
Miss K.'s, and I am sure Mlsa K. has
by far the richer voice. Jack Ah, yes,
but Miss A. has by far the richer
father.
Md Sure of the Pie.
A young ;!rl who carried her dinner
was observed to eat her pie first.
When asked why, she replied, "Well.
If there's anything left it won't be the
pie. will It. now?"
Fooliih Worry.
"Captain. Is there no way In which
the ship may be saved?"
"None at all. sir. We are goiug to

about the ship. sir. If I were you she

life belt."-Houston Post.

"Didn't some Idiot propose to you be

Certainly."
'Then you ought' to have married
him." jl

Skirt and Elousa Hint.
The surest way to keep shirt and
blouse Ingot her Is to kcw eyes lo the

the blouse Is worn underneath, the
eyes should go lit the top of the belt
lino, one Inch to each sldo of the. mlil
dlo, while tho hooks go at similar dis
tances on the Inner sldo of the skirl
baud.
Htnut women whose hips are large

an eye nt the side seam of tho waist
band with hooks to correspond on the
