There is n shadow OF possibility

pealed To Judge of the Court OF Ap-
peals, and the matter Is now pending.
The ground OF the respite, as we

upon a failure In the trial To comply
strictly with the law OF the new con

new law, which was passed only a few
days before the trial of Woodwork.

colored girls that ale almost white

suspect that they belonged to the

young man who was not well ac-

friends, as joke, persuaded him to
write her note, with the request to
take her to church. Not knowing
that she belonged to the coiored race,
he did so. The answer came back
refusing his request, and advising
him to seek girl Of his own color.

New Games for Christmastide.

The most enjoyable games in the home
at the holiday reunions are those in which
both young and old can Join, and in con-
sequence those which require little if any
effort of the mind
Many very old games have of late been
resurrected under new names, and with
some slight change in playing have be
come great tavorltes again. bell Buff is
one Of the most amusing of these. 1t is
really new version of the ever popular
blind mans buff, and is highly entertain
ing. All the players are blind-folded but
one. and this one wears attached to coat
or gown a little bell. which Jngles with
every movement of the wearer. All the
blind men" strive TO catch the .'bell
man, and he endeavorS to elude as long
as possible the cropping hands in search OF
INN, Too large a room is not desirable
man in turn. The blindfoIded man or
maiden who succeeds in capturing the
most bell-wearers is declared winner OF
the game, and is usually rewarded with
prize.
New Magic Music is another old game
with some slight changes. Chairs should
be arranged as i'll the old game, every
alternate one facing the opposite way
and as many as there are players, lack
ing one. To each chair is tied a tiny bow
of red or blue ribbon. alternating the col
orS. Each player is presented with a red
or blue bow the cOlors to be equally di-
vided The bows must be prominently at
tached to coats or waists, then the play
erS arrange themselves in file, and the
the music continues, the players march
rapidly around the chairs beating time
with their hands. Suddenly the piano is
silent, and instantly mad scramble takes
place for the chairs. This is vastly more
interesting than the old way TOR The
wearer of a blue or red bow must sit only
in a chair which is decorated in the same
color. If a wrong seat is taken, a forfeit
must be paid.
Another pastime. that affords much
amusement is called Manners one
leaves tie room. while the others decide
upon some adjective or adverb, such as
proud" funny gay" On being re-
called the player asks each person in turn
any question she wishes. the answer be-
ing given in the manner of the word

Count Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign
minister, considers this to be a viola ton
of the laws OF war, notably of the twenty
fifth clause of The Hague convention to
which Japan was a signatOry. The min
lister, therefore, asks France to call jap

the general protests contained in the re-
