He produced cards, proposed
a game, and the two southerne1s
laid their money on a table. The
stockman, it is alleged, grabbed

started to make their escape, but
Hunter grabbed Palmer and

AN INTERESTING
GAME.
Called The Commercial
Traveller.

There is a game which may
be played without any prepara-
ton whatever. as no mate rials
are required. not even paper or
pencil 1t is, therefore. well
worth knowing, for it may be
suggested to party of friends
on the spur of the moment,
when some such amusement is
desired.
The players choose leader.
and then seat themselves in a
circle with the leader in the
center. He, Of course. stands
AS the game may be better un>
derstood from an illustration,
we will suppose the leader to be
gin by saying:
Young people, you are all
supposed TO be commercial trav
elers about to start On a journey
to any part of the world you
may prefer, on business. | will
ask each Of you, if you please, to
tell me where you are going,
and what you intend to do when
you get there"
1t is required that every an
swer to his questions should be
alliterative; that is to say, that
all the words OF the answer
should begin with the same let
ter; and the first answer should
begin with the letter A. This is
the way it runs:
Leader-Where are you go
ing? Answer To Annapolis.
Leader What will you do
there? Answer-Attend Acad-
envy.
Z goes to Eoston to buy baked
beans. G. to Chicago to collect
Columbian coins. u to Damas
Gus to do Dervish dances. E to
ENGLAND to earn Edwards es-
TEEN. F to Florida to find fra
grant flowers. @ to Golconda to
gather glittering gems. H to
Havana to have half halliday. l
to India to inspect idols. J to
Jerusalem to judge jewels, K to
Kentuckey to keep knives. l. to
Liverpool 10 lodge land lubbers.
NJ to Montana to make money.
n to Netherlands to negotiate
notes. O to Oklahoma is to open
an oystershop. 2 to Philadelphia
to pawn pennies. Q to Quebec
to quiet quarreling. R to Russia
to raise rice riots. S to South
Side to sell saucepans. T to
Turkey to taste tobacco. D to
Utah to urge use of um blellas.
Y to Vienna to visit various Wis
counts. w to Washington to
willingly waste wages. Y to va
zoo to yell at yielding yokels. L
to Zanzibar to zeolog1ze zebras.
This game when played by
the Older boys and girls, or even
by adults, is made uproarlously
funny by the queer and incon
gruous answers that are given
without time to think them up

Wat Pins.

Now thai 1atpins are selling for ST.
600 downward, the minds Of Inventive
geniuses are turning toward a pin that
will stay in the halt, past aA danger Of
falling out Recently there was 3
patented split that was provided with
a little spring which worked BY pres
sure.
A very nice iatpln, w*eh head OF
amber, had an amber fastening accom-
panying it and fastened by a gold
chain. The fastener was stuck in the
hat so that to lose the hatpin you must
lose the hat also.
A very ultra little piece Of jewelry
is q band Of pearls connected with thA
hatpin by 3 gold chain. The pearl
band IS used as a broach or as pin
upon the breast The gold chain
bangles from the hatpin and makes q
pretty piece Of fnery for the womaE
who likes "fxings." The band may
match the hatpin, and be Of any jewels
or plain gold.
Any device is good so long as It
holds the pin; and when you reflect
that every year there are hundreds Of
dollars lost in hatpins, the economy Of
g little fastener is easily computed

An Unexpected Result.

An amusing episode occurred-at g
political meeting at LaVendon dur
ing the general election. After hear
ing the speeches of the candidate and
his supporters an aged conservative
from Wolverton mounted the plat
form and caused some mystery by dra-
matically holding aloft q walnut,
when he proceeded to say:
"This is a political walnut. Tho
rough shell represents the radicals;
the next, the thin, bitter skin, is the
liberals, and the kernel represents
the good conservative"
4 man in the audience cried out:
"Now crack it."
The Wolverton tory did so, when,
10 and behold! the kernel was rot
ten! The admixture of laughter and
chagrin that followed may be inag-
ined.-London Spare Moments.

Diversity Of Crops.

This is a text from which the
farmers have heard many a SER
mon, but they don't seem to
do much good, but, as the
Augusta Herald says, there
has never before existed a great
er necessity for our farmers to
realize The Importance of plant
ing grain as well as cotton. The
high prices cotton has been
bringing have aroused hopes
that have all too slender a
foundation, and so the planters
are less prepared than ever to
meet financial demands that
cannot be met on seven cent cot
ton. Now we can do without a
great many things, but we can
not do without food, and when
the planter barely covers with
tue proceeds OF his cotton crop
the running expenses OF his
farm ue is in raJnoi a bad fix il
he cannot supply from his own
acres the food necessities for the
family, hands and live stock.
Our Southern farmers have,
with a very few exceptions never
realized the Importance Of rails
ing what they needed for home
consumpcions, and have steadl-
ly spent all their profits from
cotton and gone in debt for what
might just as we'll have cost
them nothing but labor and
space. With the increased de-
mand for grain in all the foreign
markets and with the short corn
crop in the West, our farmers
will find that their corn will cost
them no less than a dollar a
bushel. It does not require avery
accomplished mathematician to
realize that at this rate the cot
ton will not pay for the corn.
We do not urge our planters to
give up cotton, nor do we advise
them to attempt planting grain
for the markets, but we do
plead for a crop sufficiently
diversified for it to be unnec-
essary for the Southern farmer
to send to the West all of the
he earns" Will they do
