DIVIDED VERSES,
Amusing sad Iustruotivs Game Devised
b. YounE Woman.

Amazing aud Iultruotivs Game Devised
b. . YOung Woman.
An amusing and more or less In
structiVe game has been devised By a
young woman, who once a week en-
tsrtsins q company Of boys and girls
for the afternoon
She writes on sheets Of paper sew
eral stanzas Of good poetry, leaving a
wide space between the lines. She then
cuts up the sheets. leaving one line on
each strip. After that she hides the
strips In many different places IN the
two rooms IN which she Is 20 enter
tain her guests, reserving the first line
Of each verse. These reserved strips
she distributes among the girls and
boys, and each one proceeds 10 hunt
for the rest Of his stanza. The hostess
usually selects StanEas from different
poems, so that the variations IN
rhythm and metre may help her young
guests 10 select the lines that belong
to them; but sometimes, 20 make the
test more dineult, she chooses several
stanzas from the same poem. The num-
Der Of lines IN a stanza Is indicated on
the slips reserved for distribution.
Sometimes amusing EMBELLISHMENTS Of
lines are made. but TIRE hostess Is
pleased to notice that as the weeks 60
on her guests are growing more and
more clever IN seiEing upon what be-
longs 70 them. When al the lines have
been collected each one reads his stan
"a and to her delight the hostess finds
that the interest Of the search. and the
constant repetition Of q line to see
what win az next 70 II has often made
q boy OF girl 90 familiar With a stanza
that Il can be reeitsd without q glance
e the slips.

When the sturgeon fishing season

from his home In Penns Grove and
Join In the fishing colony. DEM e
one OF the best known men in the
country, and at the last session Of the
legislature he was doorkeeper OF the
senate. The fishermen have had very
poor luck this season and many Of
them have given up IN disgust and re-
turned 20 their homes. DEM and his
partner, however, decided to stick Il
out and trust 70 luck to make them
whole. They were out IN the bay try
ing once more to land something Of

out for hours, and they were about TO

the big floats suddenly swish around
under the impetus OF q heavy body.

they began 70 pull IN with renewed
hope and energy. Dem vas at the

MI. mother of trusts.

Everyone will remember the re-
markable testimony of Mr.. Have
meyer, of the sugar trust. He said:
"The protective tariff is the mother
Of truste." This is so simple and
plain and it's truth so patent that
not even the way. faring man would
question it, if the tariff had not
been made political question for
SO many years. 1t is a sad com
mentary on human intelligence
that whenever political parties line
up on any question, people cease
to use their common sense and
judgment about it. The diotum
of party leaders, however illogical
or senseless, becomes the creed OF
the party voter.
