Here is good indoor game for fun
which is called "baruyard circus"
Some one win tell the girls and boys
that she will give each one the name Of
an animal, and then she will count
three, and when she says three each one
is to initiate the sound that the animal
whose name she has received makes,
AS, for instance. if one has been given
COW he would say "Moo-oo" or rooster
ck-a-doodle-doo" They are told
to initiate the sound as loudly and
clearly as possible But whoever gives
the names must tell every person eX'
cept one to keep quiet Then to the one
person whom she has not told TO keep
quiet she gives the name of an animal
and when she says three the one per
son only will shout whatever sound he
is TO make.

AROUND FESTIVE
BOARD
Hoary Haired settlers Gather ana swap
Tales ct Ola superior,

About 100 members of the Old Set
tiers association of the head of the
lakes met at the Hotel Euclid Wei
II asday afternoon to hold the annual
banquet.
Long before 10 O'Clock, the appoint
ed time for the dinner, the lobby OF
the hotel was filed swth gray haired
men and women, those who had come
to this section when when it was a
boundless wilderness the only sound
the washing of the washing of the
waves of Lake Superior on the beach,
or the call of the owl or weird howl
of the stimber wolf. Several of the
younger generation-those VINO had
lived here III order to be entitled to
membership in the association and for
whom the older members had blazed
the trail, were also present.
! The earlier part of the afternoon
was spent in discussing the days now
passed into history ,and renewing old
mountaineering and refreshing old
experiences The meeting was then
called to order and a short business
session INDUCED in until dinner WAS
ready.
The principal business was the cleo
ton and the listening to reports from
the present officers and various COM
mittees. These reports were encour-
ing and showed the association to be
in gro wing and thrifty condition.
following officers were UNANIMOUSLY
elected:
Robert B. Mclean, president; An
drus r. Merritt, vice president; w. s.
Mccormick, permanent secretary; II.
S. Butler, assistant secretary; a.
Iachau, treasurer; r, M. Hunter, f.
f. Burg, j. p. Johnson, Nj. S Bright,
II S. Butler executive committee.
Seventeen new members were pro-
posed for membership and were una
nmously elected. 1t was decided to
have permanent secretary hereafter
to compile and keepa complete re-
cord of the doings of the association
and its members.
Among TIE other subjects discussed
was one introduced by Superior mem
bers asking that the association en-
dorse plan to have the name of the
Lincoln school ut Central Park chang
ed to the Gates school in memory of
w Gates, who taught for so long in
that locality. The proposition met
with some opposition, and it was fin
ally decided to refer the matter to the
executive ommittee-1iram Hayes
and A. Bertrand directions to
Investigate and report at the next
meeting of the association.
The doors of the dining room were
thrown open and the welcome call to
dinner sounded The management of
the Euclid had spared no pains III pre-
pariag the banquet and many words
OF praise were hoard from those who
sat down and comparisons drawn be-
tween that and the meals of old, when
| flour was at premium, sugar almost
an unknown quantity, coffee a luxury
and potatoes feast.
! After dinner chairs were pushed
back and several of those present re-
lated stories Of the days of old and II.

which had been originally prepared

section and his review was filled with

spersed with pungent, witty, and stll-
ring remarks.

In an interview Miss Ella said she was

man, ARE caused by forcing lionsto do

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1904.

Perth Amboy is going to be one of
the best paved second. class cities in
the State within O short time. Tell
that to the stranger when talking
about Perth Amboy. That may sound
ridiculous to some, who like to pull
backward and ridicule every attempt
at improvement, but it's so. The
people are aroused on the paving ques-
tion and that means paved streets.
Perth Amboy now has New Bruins
wick avenue, Jefferson and Center
streets paved. In the spring, Wash
ington and Smith streets will be paved
and Rector street too. High and
State streets ana Kearny q v,nu, will
follow at no distant dav. The sweets
have been so bad here for the past few
years that it has awakened the people.
This is better than in many cities
where some of the streets have been
paved and the people are now indlffer-
ent to further progress. The move
ment for better streets once begun
will place Perth Amboy in the front
ranks. 1t is now we'll started. Push
it along, Tell others about it. Talk

The Rubber Man.

The rubber man is a recent arrival in
town. His stock consists of two bags,
one Of which is filed with penny toys.
Taking a position in front of a school
house at the loon hour, he shows his
goods to the children and tells them to
bring from home anything composed of
rubber, and receive a toy in exchange.
Old rubber shoes, mackintoshes, water
bags, all sorts of things made of rubber,
are exchanged after lunch, and the man
departs with a load of rubber and the
satisfaction, no doubt, of having had
the best end of a lot of small bar
gains.-N. Y. Post.

SOM MIGHTY. APES
scented TO the New York Academy
! of Natural Sciences.

The Darwinian theory of the descent
fasFSe, owing to the generosity of a
prominent Philadelphian, DR.. Thomas
Biddle, who lately returned from Eu-
rope with what is believed to be the
most complete collection of authropoid
apes ever owned by n person. The
specimens, says the New York Tribune,
were obtained from various sources
and prepared by the German taxider-
mist, Umlauff. Among them is a fine
specimen Of that rarely secured ami
NAL, the gorilla. On account of its inn
mense strength and ferocity when cor
nered it has been most difficult ever to
obtain a dead specimen of the gorilla
family, it being necessary to risk life
in order to track it to its lair in the in
terrier Of Africa. The specimen secured
by Or. Biddle was shot by a venture
some German, George Zenker. near the
Yaunde Station, Western Africa, a lit
tie to the north of the equator.
The height of this gorilla is a little
over five feet, and the strongest man
would probably be a plaything in Its
hands. To some monkeys, despite their
lack of good looks, the expression
"cute" may apply, but it is not possible
to so describe the gorilla. With his fiat
nose, enormous jaws and protruding
teeth, the thick neck and bullying chest,
this ape is far from the human ideal OF
a handsome animal.
When he can, the gorilla will run
from a man, and as no n has been
particularly anxious to come to close
quarters with him, it is not possible to
speak with assurance of his mode OF
life. 1t is said that he travels for the
most part on all tours. and only rises
on his hind legs to resist attack. 1t is
also said that he builds himself a home

The collection contains three speci-
mems OF the chimpanzee. One is the
ordinary caimpanzee, another the bald
c%binpanzee, and the third a variety
called the Kcola Kanlba.

gent than the gorilla, and have been

The VOICES OF WOMEN.
Among the More Musical That Of the
American Is Penetrating
and Strident.

See the American woman among
those of foreign countries, and note
instantly that though she is gloriously
victorious in feature, figure, clothes,
even often in complexion, her voice is
sadly lacking in modu.htion, softness
and ineness! Among the more
musical voices of her foreign sisters
the American woman's is high, pene-
trating and often strident, says
Woman's Home Companion.
1t is probable that climatic causes
have something to do with this harsh
ness of u.terance-for u men have
bad voices, too-but it is certain that
the quality of voice is dependent upon
other things than atmosphere, and
that If she will, the American woman
may do much t o remedy this defect. {
The first move Is to face the fact
that our voices are bad, a thing which
very few of us think about, Then we
must set about training them. There
are, Of course, maay physical rules to
follow, which are vastly helpful, and
which may be learned from a compe-
tent teacher Of voice-culture. Bat let
US concern ourselves here chiefly with
the mental attitude of the speaker,

with our presence, and often we do this
only By giving up sonae of the deeper
