"Go!" everybody sthrts TO see how
many he or she can find. For every
bean found the leader gives a penny
Remember" she says, you must not
start until I say the word Co"
AS each bean is thrown out every
one counts together One, two, three.
The children repeat in chorus each
number as the leaders scatters the
beans in the green.
When the leader calls out they are
all In but three, -four or some other
small number, the fun becomes more
and more exciting until they are all
found. 1t is importan mt to mark each
bean in some way so as to identify
it when redeemed, as 1t would be very
easy to substitute beans other than
those thrown out. Boys sometimes
try to prepare themselves with sup
ply In their pockets beforehand. A
pencil mark Is all that is necessary
to distinguish them.
This makes first class game for
any occasion where children are, and
1t can be varied by offering prizes, "a
first, second and third prize" to those
finding the greatest number of beans,
instead of giving the N pennies. 1t is
not only good exercise and training
for the children, but is game full OF
life and merriment.
Some of the children watch Ger.
tain bean the entire time with the
hope of finding it first, while others
are looking at them all as they disap-
pear in the grass. The excitement in.
creases with every additional bean
and there is danger that some of the
players will overstep the starting line
Keep back off that line, now
shouts the leader, and wait until
give you the signal before you start
Twenty-three, twenty four, twenty-five
-go!" Off they go like flash, tum
bling over one another and running
In every direction like a lot of wild
Indians in their efforts to discover a
bean. Everything IL confusion. Be
tween the shouts you can hear the
voices crying out with delight, 1--WE
found one! I've found one!" and one
by one they come bringing their beans
to be redeemed.

sticks one-quarter inch thick to be
found at lumber yards and hard
ware stores.
On the mast was fastened cross
arm just as wide as the boat. A
piece of sheeting made an excellent
sail, and after it was fastened on the
arm with thread and needle, the
two lower corners were fastened Sc
curely to the sides of the boat The
sail was put as far forward as pos
sible in the bow of the boat, for 1t

necessary. Without any doubt, the
boy who lives near the water and can
find some odd pieces of lumber, some
nails and a piece of cloth will find

A Soeedv Sailboat-


The boat that is here shown was
designed especially for a boy who
had no patience. tools or skill. He
wanted boat and one that would go
fast. A board with sail stuck up
on it was not to his liking, and SO
this entirely original affair was pro-
duced. Nothing in the boat wes Of
value, except as kindling wood, but
the making and sailing CT similar
boats afforded many an hours enter
tainment. Each day when the wind
was blowing off shore one or more
of these boats were set adrift In Long
Island sound. OF they would go like
catamarans, sometimes at an angle
with the wind, but always out OF
sight never to return. Once In
while one would be adjusted just
right and then II was hard to keep
up with It by rowing, it would go SO
fast. The seas would go over them,
but as they had no deck on they
would go.
1t was found after awhile that too
short boat would not steer very
well. A long boat on the other hand,
would keep pointing about right. so
that they were made from two to
eight feet long. The best way to
build the boat was to find board
about four feet long and six or eight
inches wide This was sawed diagon.
ally across the center. and the angle
made on each piece was made the
bow. These two pieces were held
side by side eight inches apart, and
two narrow strips were nailed across
bow and stern; an extra piece having
a hole in 1t was nailed on the bow
strip and a stick about foot long
was stuck in 1t for a mast. The best

Why leave for the evening shadows
The duties of early day?
Why grudge until bleak December
The kindness we owe to May.
Ills time for the bud and blossom
When skies are serene and blue;
Who soweth In chilly autumn
Reaps harvest of bitter rue.

As bitter as draught of gall,
May sting thee as scourge of nettles
Ere lowers nights sable pail,
Beware lest thy tardy kisses
Fall madly on lips or clay,
Or heart thon this morn couldst comfort
Be pulseless ere close of day.
Be kind while life's morn still fingers;
Thy love and thy helpful hands

And arch Ger the hills eternal
