which Works were read aloud and
discussed. The Men were not very
strong for that form of Reyelry, so
Mrs. Gillespie started in to revive some
of the lively Games she had learned
at Boarding School. She had them
doing Charades, also Cross Questions
and Daffy Answers, and another pc
culiarly exciting form of Lark in which
every one wrote something on a piece
of Paper and dropped it in a Hat.

able-for where is the healthy boy or
girl who is happy if not able to play?

and are sometimes seasiCk, but. as a
rule, they stand their first voyage quite
as well as the older folks do.
Everything they see is strange. In
the children's cabin, as the playground
is usually called. there are toys quite
different from those they see at home
OF course. no boy could play ordinary
croquet or nine pins aboard a ship, any
more than his father could play bill
lizards. The motion of the vessel is
never so steady that the balls would
not roll out of position. But the toy
makers have special blocks for them
with pins SO that the pieces will not
fall down, from the motion of the ship.
4 nimals for Noah's Ark and little tin
soldiers for mimic backgrounds are
made in the same way. Girls can skip
the rope in the passa ges, but never
decks, at certain times of the day.
Bands are put around the table in the
play room so that toy trains will not
fall off, and lockers are arranged so
that they can be used as dolls houses
in the daytime and to put away the
toys at night.
When the weather is fine. the older
boys and girls go on deck and play
steamer cricket. shuttle board, and
even tennis. There is a deck steward
to rig nets so that the tennis balls
shall not be knocked into the sea.
The steamship companies on many
lines provide the deck games, but the
boys and girls usually have to take

some of the older passengers voIun-

or organ.
The greatest trouble is with boys
and girls who are allowed to eat at
the same table with their parents at
home. OF course, this is not permitted
aboard ship, except for those consid-
erably more than twelve years old.
Younger children are served in their
own cabin with simple dishes more
suited to the bone-making process con-
stantly going on in them than are the
more elaborate dishes in the saloon
cabin. Babyish children cry about this
and want to have their meals taken
to their sleeping cabins. This is not
allowed except in cases of sickness.

QUEER GAMES OF
KLAMATH INDIAN S
BY H. IRVING KING.

Although the klamath Indians of
Oregon long ago adopted the man.
ners and customs of the white people,
they still preserve among them their
ancient sports and games.
The Klamaths live in wickiups-
houses of rough boards-and have lit
tie villages of their own. A game that
the boys of this tribe are fond of is
called "shukshuks. 1t is generally
played on the floor of the wickiups
in winter
The boys sit opposite each other
on the floor, about ten feet apart.
Each is provided with a bow two feet
long and three arrows, made of reeds
and tipped with hard wood. One of
the players takes a ring four inches
In diameter, made of bark fiber, and
rols 1t toward the other, who shoots
his arrow at it as it rolls. His object
is to pierce the ring before it stops
rolling, and if he does so he scores
one.
But as the ring with the arrow in
1t stops, the first player shoots at II
with his bow and tries to dislodge the
arrow sent into it by the first PLAYER.
II he succeeds, he also scores one, and
that round is tie, and. therefore, does
not count.
The second player then takes the
ring and rolls it back toward the first
player, who shoots at it; and so thew
go on for hours at time, the family
standing about and applauding the
good shots.
The ring is rolled with great speed
and it is not so easy to hit it as il

About 1920. Mrs Gillespie, who had

seven heads sighed all together. 1t

Lugubrious is something that is
twice as pleasant to the person that is
inclined that way as it is to other per-

Simon Lazithings was not inclined
that way, and he wandered away while
the Headlands family was still talk
