If you played over IL all was well, but
if you landed in the saucer you would
be obliged to lift the tiddledy-wink
out and place it back, with loss of
two strokes Near the next corner of
the table was the putting green, de-
signated by another square about four
inches each way. In the centre of this
was placed a small after-dlnner coffee
cup. You were obliged to snap the
chip into that in order to hole out. ="
The players found, of course, that if
they just missed the cup and landed
near it they were unable 10 make a
successful shot until they got little
way from the cup.
New rules were made as a case for
arbitration came up, as when one chip
rested on another, preventing the I'M

Judge, decided that in such case the
topmost man must remove his chip

ADVENTURES OF A NOAH'S ARK.

AS usual, when Andy was snugly
tucked in bed, Captain links, his big
rag doll, lay close beside him. To-
night Andy was long in going to sleep.
The gas had been turned down to
feeble flicker and the Shades tightly
drawn, but it had struck 8 O'Clock,
and still the boys eyes were. wide
open.
You see, it was Christmas night,
and most of his gifts lay in a row of
the foot OF his bed, that they might be
before him when he went to sleep
and the first thing his eyes would
open on with the morning. At last
the brown eyes, that had been glanc-
ing from one thing to another, seemed
to settle on a huge Noah's ark, and
then the lids commenced to drop.
isn't that Noah's ark Jim dandy,
Captain Jinks?" he muttered -drowsily,
Every evening Andy held a bedtime
conversation with the rag doll, and
the faithful links Though his ear
was nothing but rocco curve done
in bright crimsoD always listened
with that good natured crooked smile
which never left his face.

ABLE GOLF WITH TIDDLY WINKS.

This caught the fancy of the crowd
at once, and there was a wild rush for
the dininC-room. The table-cloth had
been removed and a dark heavy cover
had been substituted.
With a piece Of white crayon bor-
rowed from the schoolroom, the in
ventor, Ralph by name, marked out
two-inch square at left-hand corner
THAT will be the first teeing
ground" he said.
About three feet from that square he
placed two small books upright, the
covers opened a couple of inches to
make them stand upright. These were
about two inches from each other so
that by good playing one could pass
between them and so escape the haz-
ard.
eff you go PUNK against book. "
explained Ralph, why of course you'll
have to play back so as to loft over
You can't lift the tiddledy wink out of
a hazard and lose one, as you do in
regular golf, but you must play it out
every time, no matter how many shots

SOMETHING FOR MOTHER TO READ ALOUD ON SUNDAY

In a school room Of a Chicago
school the other day a class Of little
tots were asked to give definition of
happiness.
There was thoughtful silence for a
moment and then small girl rem ark
ed that happiness is bein' so busy
you don't know you're mis'ra1ble."
Either that young lady was repeating
something she had heard or she
'fbuilded better than she knew for
there never was better definition of
happiness than that
It's ever SO much better than BE
good and you'll be happy" because
you can't be good unless you're busy.
It's the idle boy who smashess windows
and pulls little girls pigtails.
Being busy, of course, doesn't mean
you must be studying all the time or
even doing chores You can be just
as busy playing ball or skating as5any-
thing else
One of the busiest boys we ever
knew hated school books; but he was
always busy rigging up electric bells
or inyenting something new in n ouse
traps. and to-day he is so busy max
ing money he hardly knows what to
do with it all.
Folks regarded him as a shiftless
boy because he wasn't good at study
and now remark how he as changed
since he grew up"
Well, he hasn't changed: he never
got in the way of learning his history
lessons But what is really more i'm
porant, he got in the habit of being

under chip, but not forward or be-
hind it.
A change was made later on regard
ing the hole. 1t was found that the
coffee cup was rather high to play
into, and so some round, shallow cut
glass salt cellars were found which
exactly filled the bill.
1t was also found expedient not to
have the line of play too near the
edge of the table as it made one liza
BILE to send the chips rolling off on the
floor. After while the player became
so pro 7ient that even the "boogie
score was beaten, and it was found
advisable to increase the number Of
hazards. A couple CT water hazards
in the shape of soup plate half
filled were introduced, with a penalty
of two strokes attached. AS in real
golf, foursomes are possible but the
best game is every man for himself"
Score cards are necessary, but caddies
are not.
You can't imagine what a jolly
game this is till you try it,

Several kinds of table or parlor golf
have been invented and put upon the
market. But about the simplest device
of the kind originated the other eve
ming when some young folks wearied
of the usual indoor games and cast
about them for something new and
novel.
A box of tiddledy-wink chips was
lying on the table, and boy present
had a sudden inspiration.
''Hey, boys!" he cried, lets play
golf with these chips.'
well, what's your scheme?' asked
one
The inventor ruffled up his forehead
in a thoughtful frown. Then he said:
why, we will lay out the dining
room table as the course. We WILL go
around by the left side OF the table,
so we can always play with our right
hand. Four holes-one for each OF the
table-will be enough"

WILLIE JONES' AWFUL RIDE.
BY Joseph l.. Piunkeft.

A half dozen young boys had gath
cred one night in a friends house, near
Sea Cliff, L. l.. and wereAtclling stories.
1t passed around and everybody told his
story. until it came Jack Randalrs turn,
who was IA years old.
Well" said Jack. Il will tell you a real
story that happened not very long ago.
OF course we all know little Willie Jones
and we all know his father. who is an
expressman for Sea Cliff. and who car
ries the mail from the train" All the
boys answered Yes
Well" said Jack. this story is about
little Willie Jones and his father Now.
one day Willie went to his father, who
was going on his last trip delivering the
balance Of his load He stopped in front
of Gates to deliver box OF starch and
he had only one more trunk to deliver.
and that WIS to Brush's. for their new
boarder Wen, after he had got the box
off the wagon he brought it into Gates
you know where Gates is. right near the
railroad tracks-and left Willie on the
wagon alone. A train had just happened
to come along then, but Mr.. Jones did not
come out. 1t was a good thing for little
Willie and his father that the horse was
not facing the track, for If he had been
the horse and little Willie would have
been ground to pieces"
Ground to piecesr' exclaimed the boys.
excitedly.
Yes. he would have been ground to
pieces only for one thing
And what was that?' asked the boys
Why, the horse was facing the street.
and when the train was passing the horse
got frightened and ne went running at
deuce OF pace up the street. II 1t was
not for that he wol.ld have went plump
into the passing train. Well little wiiiIe's
father. who did not know anything about
the runaway until someone went into

rection OF the runaway, hollerfng. stop

was going at terrific gait. and little
Willie looked frightened 10 death. but his

over it,
4 little school girl was recently ask
ed what poscher was.
"a poacher,' she said, is a fried
egg
Another child in the same class de-
fined palmer as man who walks
on his hands"
Of course neither Of these children
was prepared to give a correct answer,
but rather than admit they did not
know they made the above absurd re-
plies.
A very good rule to adopt in the
school room and all through life: Be
sure you thoroughly understand a
thing before you talk about it. If you
keep silent people will generally give
you credit for knowing more than you
do, whereas one foolish utterance will
often give you an undeserved reputa-
ton as a fool
Don't be afraid to ask questions,
only don't ask foolish ones, like the
girl who asked the fruitman how he
sold his penny apples, or the excited
lady who inquired what time the u: 20
train left.
You'll be surprised how many ques-
tons which rise to your lips you can
answer yourself if only you stop and
think them over before you appeal to
an older person.
To be able to reason things out
clearly for yourself is far more i'm

All the time the Noah's ark seemed
to be receding, until it was nearly a
quarter of a mile away. Andy start

The little mounds where Andy's feet
had been had become great hills, and
it took the boy fully ten minutes to
climb UP to the top. Then he stood
still with astonishment Below him
soft green turf sloped gently down to
broad river and at tiny wharf was
moored the ark.
At that moment, Andy heard Noah
call out shrilly: "Avast. there! Stand

We'll never get there in time."
cried Andy in dismay.
Roll down hill; that's the quickest
way replied Jinks, who had follow

action to the words, he threw himself
on the turf and went rolling down.
Andy followed suit. He heard wild

Instead of keeping him up, the

padding to the side of the boat, he
scrambled aboard. To his surprise he

water. Andy was frightened for a
moment, for he could not swim. But
he found he could breathe just as we'll

sinking, he found himself rising to the
surface with a great rush. AS his
head came up he saw Ham leaning
over the bow Of the ark, which, to
Andy's surprise, doomed up as large as
a canal boat. The next instant Ham
threw him life preserver tied to a
rope. Andy grabbed at it, and then he
burst out laughing, for it was nothing
but a huge cruller, with a hole in the
centre, and it was tied to a piece of
darning cotton. Painted on it in large
