FOE LITTLE FOLKS.
"vou'RE IT."
1t Was Brought to America With tho
Game of Tag by Little Cockneys

1t Was brought to America With tho
Game of Tag by Little Cockneys.
Boys and girls, do you know why you
say, You re it !" when playing tag? OF
course not. The professor didn't either
when we asked him the other day, but
he promised to put his entire mind upon
the subject and let us know at once.
This is what he says, though with
some of his big words left out:
"The people who live over in Eng
land do not seem to think much of the
letter n, being i'll the habit of drop
ping it from the words where it belongs
and putting it where it does not belong.
What fun there is in it, or why they do
it, no one can tell, but they have been
in the habit of it for good many hun
dred years
For this reason when the little Eng
hsh boys who were great-great grand
fathers years and years ago were having
grand times i'll their games they, too,
kept dropping their his from the words
they We're shouting
so, when they played tag, as boys do
now, touching each other with their
hands, whenever one boy hit another he
at once shouted out, You're 'itv for he
could not say hit, you know
And all the generations of little BOYS
who have since then been playing the
game continued to say it, instead of
hit, even after our fathers learned il
America to always put their his i'll every
other word where they belonged.
Now. boys, let me whisper word
of warning. Don't tell your teacher
what the professor says. If you do she'll
never give you any peace. but will rap
on the window ut every recess and tell
you to say hit, instead of it

A Greater scoundrel.

A famous master of Trinity college,
Cambridge, had been friend in early
days Of one Jenny Gordon, a solicitor.
But Jenny went to the bad, was struck
off the rolls, and lived on.what he could
get from old acquaintance. One day'he
met his master and asked for shilling.
Gordon" Numbered the master, IF
you could show me greater scoundrel
than yourself I would give you half a
crown" and he stalkedt stiffly away to
his rooms. In half an hours time the
butler announced that Mr.. Pompous,
the esquire beadle, wished to see the
master. Now, the master had a spe-
cial detestation of the beadle, who, when
admitted and CURLY asked what he
wanted, replied: MIR. Gordon in
formed me that you desired to see me. +"
Said the master: Gordon has made an
ass of your In ten minutes more the
butler came again, grinning, and said:
''Mr. Jenny Gordon has called and
says you owe him half a crown, sir

ing habit destructive to the logicai
faculty. What seems strange lo you il
only so because you do not follow my
train of thought or observe the small
facts upon which large differences may
depend. For example, began by stat.
ing that your brother was careless.
When you observe the lower part of
that watch case you notice that it is not
only dinted in two places, but it is cut
and marked all over from the habit of
keeping other hard objects, such as
coins or keys, in the same pocket.
Surely it is no great feat to assume that
a man who treats fifty-guinea watch
SO cavalierly must be careless man.
Neither is it very far-fetched infer
ence that man who inherits one ar
ticle of such value is pretty well pro-
vided for in other respects $3.50

ut is simplicity itself" he remarked,
chuckling at my surprise-''so absurd
~ simple that an explanation is super
fiuous; and yetit may serve to define the
limits of observation and of deduction.
Observation tells me that you have q
little reddish mould adhering to your
instep. Just opposite the Seymour
street Office they have taken up the
pavement and thrown up some earth
which lies in such a way that it is diff
cult to avoid treading in it in entering.
The earth is of this peculiar reddish
tint which is found, as far as know,
nowhere else in thesneighborhood. So
much is observation. The rest is de-
duction."
''How, then, did you deduce the tele-
gram?"
why, of course I knew that you
had not written letter, since sat OPP
posite to you all morning. I see also
in Your open desk there that you have
a sheet of stamps and thick bundle
of postcards. What could you go into
the post Office for, then, but to send
wire? Eliminate all other factors, and
the one which remains must be the
truth"
I'm this case it certainly is so, re-
piled, after little thought. 1.-THE
thing, however, IS, as you say, of the
simplest. Would you think me imper-
tinent if were to put your theories to
more severe test?"

cult for a man to have any object in
daily use without leaving the impress
of his individuality upon it in such a
way that a trained observer might
read it. Now, / have here a watch
which'has recently come into my pos
session. Would you have the kindness
to let me have an opinion upon the
character or habits of the late owner?"
handed him over the watch, with
some slight feeling of amusement in
my heart, for the test was, as thought,
an impossible one, and 1 intended it as
a lesson against the somewhat dog
matte tone which he occasionally as
sumed. He balanced the watch in his
