Ex-President Grover C1eve-

negro question which will stand
out in bold contrast with the ut
terances of some other northern
men upon that particular subject.
In the light of Bryan's promise
to do more for the negro than the
republicans have done and Roose-
welt s action in drawing certain
negroes to his bosom, the EXPIRE

New Watch Fob Fad.

A queer fad has just reached the children of New York and threatens to sweep over the whole country. It Is the weaving of shoe laces into watch fobs. The laces come in both black and coiors, and the principal object of the youngsters during the present football season Is to make the fobs of any two coors representing the various colleges Some of the fobs are round and others are square, and they are all finished by fringing out the laces at the bottom and making the loop at the top to fasten on button or in buttonhole.
 So great has been the demand for the cok ored laces that the dry goods stores were eh- tirely sold out of them this week, and one clerk had been kept busy after school hours doing nothing but supplying scores of boys and girls with laces. About four o'clock in the afternoon 1t was almost impossible for anyone to get into this store on account of the crowd of youngsters waiting their turn to reach the counter.
 The fad had gone across the river Into the Bronx, so that nearly every child one meets in any uptown section Of the city has fob fastened on somewhere.
 The colors of Princeton, Yale, Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania are those most often seen, and some enterpris- ing youngsters stood outside the Polo Ground before the recent games and sold numbers of the fobs to the college students and their friends as they were about to en- ter the gates.
 The selling price Is i've cents, while the cost of a pair of laces Is one cent, so, as the time consumed in making the fob is only ten minutes, there is a good clear profit of four cents for the maker.
 It Is strange how fad of this sort will

A Pretty Flag Game.

very pretty and interesting game may be played with a sheet of paper or card board, on which are painted the flags of all nations The sheet may be prepared by any one that has little talent for drawing, and though 1t may entail some trouble it will doubly pay for itself
 It Is not hard to ind colored pictures of the dass; almost any good gazetteer or big die tionary contains such sheet, They should be copied in proper order on the paper or cardboard and colored in water colors.
 when the copying Is done, put number under each flag instead of the name of the nation 1t belongs to, and hang the sheet on the wall where all the players may see 1t. Give \ sheet of paper to each player, with list of the numbers written down the left hand margin.
 Now, allot q certain tlme-say half an hour within which the players are to write op. posite each number the name of the nation to which that particular flag belongs. When the time has expired each player signs his or her list and hands it to the leader, who ex amines them all and awards the prize to the one having the most names right.
 miniature American flag, made of silk, would be suitable prize to offer.

What Does My Lady Want?

Word building, word guessing, geographi- cal and other instructive games are all en- Joyed by young people, but there comes time when they wish and need something In the nature of romp. good game of this kind Is played by seating the boys and girls around the room, with plenty of space In the center. and giving 10 each player the name of some article used by lady when she makes her toilet such, for example, as hair brush, comb, hairpln, shoes, bonnet, gloves, &c.
 The players having been thus named, the leader, previously selected. takes his stand in the middle of the room, holding wooden plate, q circular tray or any similar oDJect that may be twlrled around on the floor. TO begin the game he twirls the plate on the floor as hard as he can and speaks some sen tence in which he uses the name of one or the toilet articles. The player who bears that name must then leave his seat and try to catch the plate before 1t stops twirling If he falls to do so he must pay forfeit of some kind; if he succeeds he takes the twlrler's place.
 The twirler generally speaks sentence like this: My lady Is going out and she wants her gloves" The player whose name Is "G!oves' then rushes to the plate and tries to catch 1t before It stops twirling.
 The twirler has a right at any time to cry out the single word ''Toilet!' and when he does all the players have to change seats. The player who does not get one takes the place of the twlrler and also pays forfeit. The twlrer himself IS sure to get seat, for he watches his opportunity as he cries out the word.
 Forfeits are redeemed at the end Of the game, and this may be made entertaining by requiring the forfeit payers to do all sorts of funny things.

BY CAROLYN WELLS. Sir Hector Hicks was a stalwart knight, A knight of noble name; His sword was sharp and his shield was bright, He wielded his spear with wondrous might While his courtly bearing and towering height And his ponderous, massive frame
 Were the awe and pride
 Of the country side, And Sir Hector was lauded far and wide. This illustrious man of brawn and brain Was lord of an ancient and vast domain The old Hicks castle, with turrets and towers, Gorgeous gardens and balmy bowers, Portcullises, parapets, meats, palisades. Bulwarks. intrenchments. redoubts, barn. cades; All was as safe as a stronghold could be, Secure against onslaught by land or by sea;
 And Sir Hector beside
 Was amply supplied With all kinds of weapons that art could provide. His armory showed a magnificent store Of sabres and swords by the dozen and score. There were cutlasses, falchions, dirks, dag gers and blades, Clubs, maces and truncheons, bolts. bombs and grenades. Full panopied armor Sir Hector possessed cuirass and helmet, shield for his breast,
 A buckler and mask,
 A gauntlet and casque.
 And all of the rest,

 It was true. The crystal vial had fa lien to the ground and lay in a thousand pieces scattered miles below on the ground of the hat country. When the pieces were found the people believed that the Green Knight had failed in his mission.
 Meanwhile he and Schwartzpferdchen were flying nearer and nearer to the moons red disk, while the Green Knight puzzled his brains to know how he should carry the red color back to the maidens, for he was deter mined to get 1t from the Moon Man.
 Suddenly he heard great voice shouting:- ''HallooI Halloo!

 The leader of the game then collects the figures, and with paste or mucilage attaches them to the cardboard on the wall, the black side of the figure out and each figure with its number beside 1t.
 Now give to each player sheet of paper with numbers written down the left hand side-as many numbers as there are draw ings-and ask them to write opposite to each number the name of the animal that the numbered figure Is intended to represent.
 Here is where the fun comes in, for many of the drawings will prove to be rather hard to make out. The player who guesses the greatest number of animals receives the cardboard as prize.
