Do you remember them-the first pair you

And what points Of beauty in your eyes
were those red tops and fright copper toest
The memory Of them brings you back to
that period in your life where infancy passed
into 10y hood, and where dreams came to
you of being big man. They markell the
beginning of your independence. of your
strength, OF your recognition as one of
eartu's creatures Better far, they brought
surcease of ridicule, 50 CALLING to boys
pride, tor they came with pants and short
ha,r, in place Of dresses and curls. How
often have you gone sobbing to your mother,
your heart full Of grief and modification,
because bigger boy had pulled your hair
and called you grill The changes came
all at once. Mother made the pants, and
one evening she brought homo the red top
boots Then she put the scissors into your
soft curlS, cut them off, kissei them, and
lald them away. She was sorry to see the
baby become boy; but how your soul
sweiled! How you longad for the morning,
that you might wear them How yfully
Won cried on, to little Billy Brown, across

AMI Billy probably answered, sullenly, Il

a Good Game

Verbarium is a capital game, but it re-
qu,rcs some application. Each player is
provided with paper and pencil. One holds
watch and one "A dictionary. A word is
chosen, say Agriculture, The one that has
tlo watch calls "Tim,,n and then for pre-
cSsly two minute each player is to write all
the words he can from the letters in agr-
culture, beginning with a. Afterward
two minutes are likewise occupied in writing
words beginning with the other letters Of
the chosen word in turn.
AT the end of the first two minutes time is
called, and he that has written fewest
words begins by reading the first one that
he has written. All that have it say Yes"
all that have not say Mo- and each one
that has it counts one for each one that has
not. For instance, if seven are playing and
three have the word argue ana four
haven't it, each one that has it marks the
figure against the word.
At the close Of the game all the figures
are adlei, and, of course, the one having
the greatest sum is the winner
Somewhat like this, but easier, is spell
ing game lately introduced from England.
The first player mentions any letter of the
alphabet; the second any letter that, an
nexed to the first, would build toward any
word; the third player adds another letter
thai, with the two already given, would
help form any word, and so on. For IN
stance, the first player may say "BM the
next one thinks of board and says So"
The third, not knowing what word the
second had in mind, thinks of "borrow,"
and says ''r;' the fourth adds "n' and a
word Dorm is finished. Now, the point of
the game Is not to let word stop with you,
either by finishing it, as No. 4 did, or by
being unable to al any letter that would
help to form some longer word. OF course,
proper Names contractions and obsolete
words are forbidden.

An Inhuman Fiend in Harvey County Out
RACES q Thirteen Year Old Child.
A special dispatch to the Topeka Com
monwea]th, of a recent date, is as follows:
F. A. Norton, formerly county sup,rin-
tendent of Harvey county, and lately pro-
prietor Of second hand store at this place
has been arrested, charged with rape upon
the person of Tanner Alleson, little girl
aged thirteen years, the daughter and only
child of widow with whom he was board
ing. He took her out in buggy, presum-
ably for short ride into the country where
he was going to see some one. When in the
sand hills few miles north of town, the
girl says he took her from the buggy, out
ragged her person, and then drove to Nc
Pherson, where he kept her over night and
further required her to submit to him. He
has wife and several children living in
Newton. Public feeling is generally excl
ted against him, many declaring that he
shall be lynched. He is a man aged thirty
Eve or forty years, and very intelligent,
which makes the case doubly heirous.
LATER.-Prof. Norton, the man charged
with the seduction OF Mrs. Alleson's little
girl, was taken out of town by private con.
veyance this afternoon, and taken to New
ton jsil. Before getting him out of town
large Infatuated mob had gathered and
treated him to q coat of ter.
