speaks From Experience.

A lady from South Dakota asks long
list of questions about woman suffrage
in Wyoming. It is enough to say that.
after trying woman suffrage for 20
years, we here are entirely satisfied
with its workings and unanimously in
corporated it in our state constitution as
the fundamental law of the land. We
have never seen one of the evil results
predicted by old fogies, and its effects
have been only good, and that continu
ally.-Laramie (Wy.) Sentinel

one OF the children who caught MIN or
her, then calls out 'Butteroup. The
children all understand that buttercup
instead of daffodil is the word, SO they
make the lines:
"We're looking about for a buttercup,
A buttercup, buttercup, etc.
The leader may hold bonnet and
give to each child the flower chosen.
The next child, "Buttercup, being
duly found, 3" takes the place of "Daf
fodil,' and the child who has held that
place goes into the ring. The newcomer
calls out the name of some flower. like
bright bluebell, daisy flower or mignon-
cite, and substituting that word they
sing as before. Each child tries to be
ready with the name of some favorite
flower, and the game may close when
each child flower has been found. .
A game in which the children can
run is always favorite. Fox" is an
other ring play, so easy that the small
est children can play it without help.
One of the children ''fox" stays outside
the ring and slyly slaps the shoulder of
one of the children. Fox" runs to the
left, the child to the right. They meet,
pass each other going at full speed
around the ring The one who gets back
to the ''den" (the place in the ring
where the child was standing1 may hold
that place, and the other must be the
fox and try race with some other child
The magic bridge is another popular
game. The children join hands and form
a ring. If the number is large, there
should be four bridges" at the quarter
points of the ring, these being num-
pered 1, 2 8 and 4-one opposite 3 and
two opposite 4. The bridges are form
ed by two children, who raise their
joined hands for the others to pass I'M
der. The pianist leads with a bright,
familiar air, and the children all follow
the tune, singing ''Trala-la tra-la-la"
as they dance and skip along, keeping
step to the music. They go one or more
times around in a circle, then the lead
er indicates where bridge" is to be
made. Two children raise their Joined
hands, and the two children standing
opposite in the ring cross the center of
the circle All the others follow after,
pass under the bridge. - Then, turning
to the right and left respectively, the
two lines follow the path of the circles
formed first. meet, join hands again,
and a new circle is formed. Another
bridge appears as if by magic, and
the children opposite it lead again
through it, the while keeping the mer-
ry measure with song and dance. This
one is of the prettiest of dancing games,
which is not necessary to rknow how"
to do. They learn it as they go.

Ring Games That Are Easy to Learn and
Full of Innocent Fun.

Full of Innocent Fun.
Children never tire of ring games
They like the simple ones best-those
that do not tax the memory to any great
extent-writes Mrs. A. q. Lewis in
Ladies' Home Journal They prefer
something with catching swing in the
rhythm, carrying the same words
through many verses, with just enough
verbal change to indicate the progress
of the game.
The game of flowers is simple and
sweet. 1t is played similar to London
Bridge" Two children stand opposite
to each other and raise their joined
hands. Those forming the ring pass IN
der, while all keep saying or singing,
suiting the action to the words they
sing:
'tWe're looking about for daffodil,
A daffodil. daffodil;
We're looking about for daffodil;
We've found one here"
At the word f'here'' the raised arms
come down and inclose the head of the
child who happens at that moment to
be passing underneath their hands. Then
all sing:

THE PASSING SHOW

OSSSSSSSSSSSSS
wish Mr.. Anthony Hope Hawkins
would hold himself under a pump long
enough to check his bewildering pro-
ductiveness. This year he has published
at least half a dozen novels and he is
writing for every periodical under the
sun. He is anawfully clever fellow, but re-
ally, his reputation can't stand antics Of
dred men who are doing the same thing.
Really, its terrible to think of, the mass
of fiction that is thrust upon us every
year. whether we will or no. The con-
OCCASIONAL records are not in II at all any
more. IL II keeps up don't really quite
see what will become of English litera-
ture. No one ever thinks of taking
time to write histories or essays or
poetry, and what is worse no one ever
thinks Of reading them. There was
a time when people read Carlyle and
Emerson, but nowadays IL one pretends
TO half way keep up with current fic-
ton he has absolutely no time for any,
thing else. If you did a thorough job
of IL you would not have time to sleep.
And the worst of IL is that most Of these
thousands of novels are good
and none of them excellent. Per-

THE BOSTON ELECTION.
Peculiarities Brought to Light in a
Voting Place.

Boston, Dec. 10. Elections are being
held in this city today and, like those of
last week, when the other cities of the
state, elected officers, progressing quietly.
There are few issues besides that OF
license. This question Is attracting at
sention everywhere. There are several
cities in which the contests for members
of the school board are very close. In
this city, the polling up TO noontiine in
ljcated large vote in all sections of tho
city and il is expected that the full
strength of both parties will have been
shown when the polls close. The weather
conditions are very favorable, IL being
crisp clear day with no wind.
During the morning Peter Il. Doberty,
36 years of age, 2S Reading street, was
arrested while in the act OF repeating.
In Precinct OF Ward 20 Theopple Shear
on, 27 years old, living at IL Stanford
street, attempted TO vote in Precinct
], Ward Z, under the name of Henry Y.
Rowell, 6S Appleton street, but on being
challenged by the warden he weakened
and was at once arrested. When searched
at the station an official ballot was
found on Shearon's person. This was
surprise, as he had not received one
from the precinct officers, neither had
he been within the rail. Ii 10 thought
by Chairman Hutchinson OF the Repub-
lican committee that the official ballot
has been counterfeited and distributed,
marked all ready for the voter. This
being a very serious offense, il is being
thoroughly investigated.
