NEW OUTDOOR WINTER GAMES.

From The Boston Globe.
delightful game TO play in the winter holi-
days, when the long hours drag within doors, is
snow fox and geese
a very slight snowfall will suffice for the
game, but it may be played with snow a foot
deep in a city back yard or in the field OF the
country. The game is prepared by the boys.
who first, with high boots. trampl@ n the snow
as the size of the lot may allow. After these
paths are clearly marked the fun begins. Any
number may join in the sport.
II is like the old story OF The Spider and the
Fly One person stands in the centre of the
circle and daSheS up and down the diametlic
paths TO seize upon the others they fly around
the circle. The players can venture into the
centre if they are so daring, but if caught they
become the spider, and dash for another victim.
The one who is catching cannot walk around
the circumference, but is confined to the central
paths.
Snow baby is another funny game. smooth
patch of snow is selected, and many holes or
dens are prepared as there are players. The
dens are made by scooping up little to
form a hollow place about as big two quart
bowl. Each person selects den which he calls
his, and near which he stands. a circle Is
marked lightly in the snow around the group OF
denS and all take their stand within the circle
each near his own den.
About six feet off, person is chosen, who
losses SNOWFALL into any one of the dens The
person into whose den it falls picks the ball up
quickly and tries to hit some one of the party,
who all start TO run as soon ball lands
i'm den. II the one aimed at is hit he drops a
stone into his den and becomes the one 20 throw
the ball into the den OF some else.
This is repeated until one of the players has
six stones in his den, when he is declared beaten
If at any time the one throwing the ball from
his den toward some one fails to hit the he
aims at stone is put into his den and he be-
comes the one to throw the ball. Unless there
is crust on the ground. this game cannot be
played in snow more than foot deep.

BILLY AND THE BUTTER

Mother protested, but Arthur pleaded and so
hluch time was lost that mother saw that she must

was cahtering along gayly. A few rods from the
farm near the road stood a small blacksmith's
Shop, where several men were lounging about
work.
AS Arthur rode by one of the men gave a long,
10" whistle, which started Billy the round run.
Arthur was nearly thrown by Bily's sudden spring

control the horse the pail of butter slipped fur

Arthur went prancing through the main street Of

clatter of hoofs. and soon men and women, girls,

proud knight, who was scattering gold in his path

A little boy stood in front Of the brook trout ex-
hibit at the Aquarium recently peering intently at
the speckled beauties He turned to the fish expert
who stood near him and said. 1t seems pity to
keep the beautiful fish in these tanks. They would
have so much more fun in a brook"
''They are much safer here" said the wise man;
especially thnse brook trout. Do you know that
not more than one in every thousand of the brook
trout created lives to be more than a mere baby?
Why the little trout sooner takes his first peep
out from the gravel where he has been gaining
strength for the battle of life than all sorts of
monsters attach him. Frogs weasels clubs, lizards,
water snakes. herrings and mnnOws go for the
little fellow, and when he has escaped these he has
the larger trout to fight or run away from. To
escape all these he has to remain in shallow water
near the banks for long time and when the little
beauty has learned all the tricks to his life
and has become the one in a thousand to escape the
baby dangers the fisherman comes along and
tempts him with fly and gets him. Now. isn't the
trout in the glass case better off?
The boy thought he was.

bacco trust. by an unjust cutting OF
prices Is tending 10 rapidly drive the
smaller retail dealers 20 the wall. Retail
tobacco dealers In other cities have been
taking up the movement IL is said that
IN Chicago 500 out Of i,l00 dealers have
formed an association similar TO the one
instituted by some OF the Providence re-
tailers.

eanized in Chicago. Syracuse. Rochester
