A Geographical Pronunciation Contest Ar
fOrds Amusement.
To pass the time pleasantly and gem
crate little rivalry nothing is better
than a contest for an evenings enter
tainment. Our grandparents realized
this when they had their spelling
matches, and at apple-parings, and
corn-huslSings stroye 10 see who could
get the biggest pile.
grandchild OF the spelling match is
"A geographical pronunciation con-
test" For this two captains" are Sc
lected, who choose up one person
being left 10 act as leader. When all
are ready the leader pronounces some
letter from the alphabet-any letter he
may happen 20 think of-and at once
commences 20 audibly slowly count
five. Before he has finished the
captain previously agreed upon
must pronounce some geographical
name commencing with the letter
mentioned. Failing TO do this, he
must take his seat. The leader pro-
nounces another letter and counts as
before, and the captain on the other
side must respond before the. time is
up, and so on, alternating down each
line. The last one down is declared
the victor.
Another contest which calls for some
work and rapid thinking IS 90 trans
pose correctly the misplaced letters OF
words. For each guest prepare u list
Of fifteen or twenty words-names
OF flowers. noted men, countries or ami
mails are goodwill the letters OF eacf

the lists and pencils give twenty min

quircs work, and the one correctly
making out the greatest number Of
names Is well entitled TO a prize, which,
in case the list Is Of flowers, may very
appropriately be q bouquet in u pretty

membercd. One would little think NJ

Because the president publicly de-
nounced as ''perfldy" the bill OF sale
which the senator's had framed. In
order TO carry any bill, duties had
been fixed on coal and iron ore and on
woolens and cottons, and pledges had
been given that all should stand or fall
together. But the president insists
upon free coal and declares II dis

that "there is but one concern In the

any especial benefit" lie describes
the contract by which tho Canadian
government, for twelve cents per ton
royalty, gave exclusive control OF the
Nova Scotia coal fields 10 capitalists of
the Canadian Pacific, and certain
gentlemen within our own country as

Senator Gorman's public declaration
in his great speech on the presidents
letter admitted that duty on sugar
was distinctly promised during the
campaign of 1892 TO Senators Gibson
and White. OF Louisiana. These sena-
tors had conferred first with the pres
idcnt, then the candidate who, IN the
words OF MIR. German, told them that
the democratic party was not 20 de-

said that he would have been glad 70

This Is n straightforward and manly
admission that the democratic candi-
date and organization were bound by
formal pledge TO favor a duty on
sugar, and more than that, diife--
entail duty for the rcfners such as the
Mills bill contained. But this state
ment omits ANYTHING about the alleged
reason for that pledge, or any contri-
button by the sugar interest 70 the
