Well. what do we want them for?" per sisted Jennie.
 Why, sos they can use the swing now and then-and the hammock. and-and- think of the candies and things they'll bring.'
 "Oh, what selfish boy." retorted Jennie, amid general laughter.
 "Order. snapped the president. You mustn't talk that way to the president. And I'm king, too. rememberi''
 Pooh! This Is republic. so you needn't try that joke any more.' said Jenne
 Well, who are we going to have?o asked Will
 "Oh, all the big folks, suppose" replied Jennie We cant show any favors, you know
 But then we shall have-let me see-14 honorary members to initiate, all at once that won't do. Besides, they won't feel hon ored If we let 'cm in so easy''
 Tell you what we'll do," said Frank. Let's hold examinations"
 Make 'em write answers to questions, do you mcan?" asked May, who generally spoke after her brother, but never at any other time
 Yes, sometlmes-other times, let 'em do something-oh, we'll fix that"
 And this scheme-whlch will be explained at length in another chapter-was finally adopted by tho Circle. But'before arranging the details of the first examination they unanimously elected three to their honored list without further ceremony.
 The first was Uncle Ralph, genial old gentleman, who owned n tanncry at the cut skirts of the town. Uncle Ralph was great favorite with the Circle and had just pro- vlded it with q swing. which was in tho height of popularity This in itself was suf- ficient reason for electlng him at once Into honorary membership, as all the five admit ted, and yet 1t might look queer in the min ute book, and, as the treasurer sagely re- marked, "lt might offend our pas and mas. At last, however. Jennie thought of n suit able reason, and this the boys and girls are requested to think out for themselves.

RCROBATIC SOLDIERS.

Clever and sklllful is feat which IS ire- ouently performed by Italian soldiers For eieners generally suppose that 1t forms part of thelr drill. as they never perform It ex- ccpt when they are in uniform; but It IS really only one of series Of gymnasuc exercises which Italian soldiers have Tor many years been accustomed to practice after their regular drill Is over.
 The feat consists in piercing an object with the point of sword while the swordsnan is in most abnormal position. That It Is not easy 10 do this can readily be imagined: indeed, soldier must practice steadily for months before he can feel sure of reaching the mark. Whether the skill which he thus acquires will ever be of any practical use 10 him Is doubtful, but as lt Is rather pas time than military exercise the soldien never think of asking themselves this ques ton.

Hockey, so closely identified with the boyish game of shnny, Is fast taking It's place among sports for sehoolboys, and with the eyer-increasing popularity or the game among older athletes, It prom ises to find place second 10 none m the list of pastimes of youngsters.

'1 think we ought to admit Mrs. Johnson at tho same time" said Will. Mrs Johnson owned the small fruit and candy store where the Circle dealt. "she always treats US square,
 "Yes," exclaimed Harold, land that's fine excuse for doing it. It's almost as good as being tangent
 Mrs. Johnson Is admitted m honorary member of the Circle because she always treats us square," read the secretary from his minute book.
 "Hurrah" shouted Will.
 And now" said Jennie, 'I have member to propose. We need her for doorkeepcr, and think she'll do fine.'
 Who Is she?" asked all.
 Guess" said Jennie.
 And guess they did for long time.
 T don't believe it's a person at all," growled the president at last.
 Certainly not" replied Jennie. T didn't say she was"
 Well, where is it? asked Will.
 "1 think she's In that tree over there " Jennie answered. and the Circle burst into roars of laughter, for they all saw what she meant. Now, boys and girls. look at this picture and see If you can find it, too "It's only bird" remarked the secretary when the laughter had subsided. And I don't see how we can make her member. let alone doorkeeper."
 Say that we've made her doorkeeper be- cause we adore her." suggested Jennie
 Are there any laughs to accompany that in the minutes1" asked the secretary, sar- castically.
 T don't think so,' replied May, gravey, looking around.
 q think you're real mean" retorted Jen- ne.
 Just then loud snapping was heard, and before the Circle knew where to look large greenish gray parrot had broken its way through the cedar hedge which surrounded the playground and stood before them.
 "what's the matter, eh? What's the mat ter?' she screamed.
 "Nothing whatever" laughed Will, You've saved us some hard thinking that's all"
 ''You don't say.' replied Polly.
 "Yes. we do" said Jennie. Polly, guess this has made you an honorary member of the Circle. Do you underestimate"
 What do you take me for?" screamed Polly.

millions of boys and girls from being late to school, and"
 T guess we'd better buy one, then,' re- marked Jennie.
 The Circle will please stop talking and start thinking" called the president, impa- tiently, for 1t was rule that each conun- drum had to he solved before they could ad- journ, and Harold was getting in excellent mood for dinner.
 At last, after just twelve minutes of silent and dlligent application, Jennie triumph antly called out the solution.
 "Correct.' said VIII.
 Put it in the minutes." cried all.
 We were just in the nick of time,' re marked Frank. as his mothers voice was heard from the kitchen door,

 But how am l to put this in the min utes?' asked the secretary. "We can't ad. init people as honorary members just be- cause they break through the hedge. It's setting bad president, don't you think?"
 "A bad presdent?' roared Harold
