CHRISTMAS GAMES.
How to Amuse the children During
the Holidays.

the Holidays.
Christmas day games for the chill
dren are as necessary as plum pud-
ding, and the following will please
them and are welcome to many grown
ups, says the Chicago Tribune:
Santa Claus Pack.-All form in line
and march to a lively strain on the
piano to the next room, where table
holds the contents of Santa Claus
pack. They look at every object on
the table and then march back. The
company now divides in half, one-half
leaving the room, the table and its
contents having been covered. Those
remaining choose some object which
they remember seeing; the piano begins
to play again and the others return.
The leader gives to the returning party
a word which rhymes with the object
chosen. Thus, if it was a ball, he
might mention the word "hall.' The
what object has been chosen, and they
express their guess by acting in panto-
mime They do not all suggest the
object in the same way, but each ac-
cording to his individual fancy, but
they must all agree upon the object
they will guess If wrong they go
out for another trial and so on until
guessed, when the other half of the
company goes out, and they remain
and select the object for the others to
guess
Hiding the Mistletoe.-All form in
line, single file, and march about the
room or several rooms until the music
stops. They then proceed to hunt the
mistletoe, which the leader carried in
his hand and concealed somewhere
during the march. The finder must
effect return to the starting point with
out being touched by the leader.
Santa Claus Sleigh.-SiX girls are
harnessed to little sleigh or sled,
and the white ribbon reins are held
by a seventh. The sled is filed with
tanning Christmas crackers or any
trif1es as favors. The party goes round
the room several times, dispensing the
favors to the young men, who proceed
to select partners and dance until a
signal from the leader calls all to
march around the room and back to
their places.
Snowball.-A large white ball of It's
sue paper is suspended well out of the
way of bric-a-brac. The young girls
take turns at shooting at this ball with
a small rubber BALL When hit with
sufficient force it breaks and out falls
a shower of smaller white balls, per
haps popcorn balls, which are gathered
and presented as favors for the next
march or dance. AS there should be
only about half as many balls as there
are couples dancing. this will cause a
scramble among the small boys who
gather them up and who. for fair deal
ing, should be kept behind certain
line until the ball receives the shot
that bursts it.

Zy WAS a famous victory and
"a no mistake, but not unprec-
" edented and not SO remark
able as at first blush it
would appear 1t is by no means the
greatest in American annals quite the
contrary. Stated electorally, Colonel
Roosevelt has 345 votes. Judge Parker
141. It's bad enough as it is, but it
might have been worse.
In his second election Jefferson re-
ceived 1862 electoral votes; Pinckney,
Il.
Roosevelt beat Parker not quite two
to one in the electoral college, while
Jefferson defeated Pinckney by more
than eleven to one.
In 1920 the vote stood: Monroe, 231;
John Quincy Adams, l. But as there
was no contest it is hardly fair to count
that case
Jackson defeated Clay by 219 to 40.
more than five to one.
In 1886 the vote stood: Van Buren,,
TO; Harrison, rs; White, 26; Webster,
A.
In 1910 "old Tippecanoe' turned the
tables on '.the sage of Undertook, the
vote standing 234 to go, almost four to
one.
IL 1852 Pierce carried every state ex-
cept four, oefeating General Scott by
the overwhelming vote of pa to II,
more than six to one
In 1868 the vote stood: Grant, 214;
Seymour, so; in 1872, Grant, 26S; Gree
ley, H.
A careful analysis of the popular
vote shows up in about the same pro
portions.
Colonel Roosevelts vote is about 800,
600 in excess of the Mckinley vote of
1900, while Judge Parker's is about
100000 less than Bryan's in that year
So one can see at a glance that it was
the stay at home vote that wrought the
disaster. Prognosticators will do well
not TO count on the stay at homes to
repeat that caper. With candidates and
platforms to suit they will be the first
at the polls in the next contest.
The small vote for Watson does not
indicate much virility in the old Popu-
list party. but the astonishing increase
in the Debs vote shows that the Social
istic Democracy is a factor in future
elections which must be reckoned with
While the loss in representatives is
deplorable, two years will soon roll
around. The most substantial loss to
the Democrats is in the senate, because
of the six year term. Cockrell of Mis-
souri, and Gibson of Montana will be
replaced by Republicans. In Nevada
a Republican will be elected to succeed
Stewart, Republican. The Democrats
confidently expected to win that seat
The same is true in New York, West
Virginia and Delaware.
But. taken all ip all, Democrats have
cause to be hopeful for the future.
The party has pulled itself out of
worse holes than that in which it now
finds itself.

He has let it be known that like Bar
kis. he is .'willin'." And why shouldn't
he be- 1t is Il great honor His dozen
years of hard intelligent, patriotic
service in the house have surely trained
him in the duties of national legis-
lator. He is Il capable man, a growing
man, an ambitious man. in the flower
of his years and the prime of his pow
ers. He likes the public service, and
he is well fitted for it. His selection
would be 4 promotion natural and on
right lines 1t would be recognition
of duties acceptably discharged. He
would not have to spend a weary no.
vitiate learning how to do things. He
has already learned how. He is a prac-
teal rather than a spectacular legis-
lator. and his record for successful
work in the house would upon his en-
trance into the senate secure for him
appointment upon important commit
tees. matter of great consequence to
his state and to the country. for in this
connection it must not be forgotten
that General Cockrell is the leading
Democrat on appropriations and mill
itary affairs. And. while Missourians
do not expect the new senator to secure
as good committee assignments as
Coclxrell has, they will take pride in
seeing him secure desirable assign
ments. Personally DR. Bartholdt is a
pleasant. amiable and companionable
man He has Travelled much has con-
siderable experience in journalism, is
persona grata at the White House and
knows the departments like a book.
Really and easily the Missouri legis-
lature could go farther and fare worse
than to elect DR. Bartholdt to succeed
Missouri's grand old man in the house
of the conscript fathers.

Colonies For Sale.

The old saying that 1.-The Bourbons
learn nothing and forget nothing APP
plies partially at least to our Amerl-
can iingoes. They certainly learn moth
ing. I had an uncle who was a wild
young blade When my father remon-
strated with him and told him that he
ought to learn something from the ex-
perence of others in certain unpro1it-
able capers the youth replied, "Oh, |
want TO experience them myself So
with our jingoes. History has no les
sons for them. 1t is a notorious fact
that both England and France keep
up their colonial establishments at
dead loss All the evidence shows that
Spain's colonies We're as millstones
about her neck and that she has expe-
rienced an unwonted prosperity since
we kindly relieved her of her burden.
But it has always been contended that
Hollands colonies We're in the nature
of gold mines to her This Illusion has
now disappeared She is discussing
the feasibility of selling them provided
she can find Il purchaser. The chief
reason advanced by the proponents of
that measure is their appropriateness.
viii our jingoes believe that? Not
bit of it, They will no doubt v0cifer-
ate voubly that we can make a profit
where the industrious and economical
Hollanders find only loss. The chances
are ten to one that they will be in ia
vor Of our buying the colonies which
the tiny realm of Queen Wilhelmina
desires TO be rid of We haven't load
enough in Hawaii, Guam, Porto Rico
and the Philippines Some palpitating
patriot not long since was eager for us
to purchase the Galapagos islands. and
into every congress senator Henry
Cabot Lodge of Mass chUsetts intro
duces a propesit.oa to buy the Danish
West nslss Islands. Queiy: If the
English. the F7Felch, the Spaniards and
the IIoIlanaezs cannot make colonies
pay. how can we Eope to q so?
1t is said that if Holland throws her
colonies on tie market the chances are
that there will be no bidders except
Germany and Japan unless we enter
the lists The kaiser is ambitious to
make tJSGI1dllA slS i-iSttl a ocst yONcI
as she is now a land power, and polio
ing the PARKWAY colonies of Holland
would give employment to his growing
navy. Japan, according to all ae-
counts, needs room for her surplus pop
ulation and would not feel seriously
the constant loss of soldiers in the
wars now raging and which have been
raging for Il century in the colonies of
Holland. The expense incident to those
wars is one of the reasons urged by
Holland statesmen for the sale of her
colonial load.
No man, however, can give any SEN
sible reason why we should take to our
breasts any more islands. We do not
need room for surplus population, be-
cause we have no surplus population.
So far from having a surplus we are
still inviting all creation to come and
settle in the land of the free and tn
home of the brave, and they are COM
ing at the rate of almost a million per
annum. Nevertheless the jingoes will
be in favor of buying Hollands castoff
colonies. Chi bono?
