THE GAME OF TURTLE.
The Player With the Strongest Mus.
cles Wins Out.

The Player With the Strongest Mus
cles Wins Out.
Here's a game for boys and girls
who have good, strong muscles. 1t is
called turtle"
Any number may play, and no one
player is "it," for all are lit" together.
The game commences by each choOs-
ing the kind of turtle he intends to be.
One perhaps is a land tortoise, another
a snapper, another mud turtle, and
SO on. Then they all sit in a row,
resting their chins on their knees, and
each holding his left ankle with his
right hand and his right ankle with his
left hand. This is very difficult posi-
ton to keep. At a given signal the
turtles start for goal short distance
away.
1t is the object of the game for the
turtles to waddle to the goal and back
to the starting point without removing
their hands from their feet. Many let
go before the proper moment, the 9th
ers shout, Dead turtlev' and keep on,
leaving their unfortunate companion In
the background. The rules of the
game demand that he wait there until
the first successful racer reaches him
on his way back and touches him with
his elbow, by which he Is supposed to
instill new life into the poor dead tur-
tie. The latter Immediately starts out
again and finishes in the best style he
can. AS there are always several dead
turtles, he Is never lonely in his effort
to succeed. The winner Is, of course,
the one who returns to the starting
place first.

TRACERIES ON THE GLASS.

few moments remove the coin, and
nothing will be seen on the surface,
but breathe on it where the coin was
lying, and an image Of it will appear.
If you polish the coin instead Of the
metal or glass the same effect will be
produced when you breathe on the sur
face.
If you have plate of glass that has
been against an engraving for several
years breathe on that side of it, and
the lines of the engraving will become
visible. This may fail sometimes, but
rarely.
Does all this sound like magic? The
explanation is a natural one. On the
surface of all solids a layer Of gas,
vapor and fine dust gathers. When
you polish the object the layer is re-
moved or it is altered by the contact
of other solids. If the object is breath
ed upon the breath cOndenses more
easily ON some parts than it does on
others, according to the condition or
state of this layer, and therefore any
marks made on it will become visible.

DOWN AT THE HEEL

The English newspapers are bewail-
ing the decap Of the house Of commons
as deliberative body. The decline
seems to have begun with the retire
men Of Gladstone. While he was the
great moral force in English politics,
the great London newspapers found 1T
own reports of the proceedings of the
house, and when he went on one of his
great electioneering tours, he was fol-
lowed about the country and his
speeches reported in full. Now, the
big London newspapers have mostly
dropped their special reports of the
proceedings and depend on the bureau
which provides a routine report for all
alike.
The change is attributed to the alb
sence of great speakers from the house.
but it is probably deeper than that.
The era is not one of great issues and
hence the great speakers are absent.
Besides, the London newspapers have
begun to discover what the American
newspapers learned some time ago,
that what the people want is to be
guided conscientionusly as to the
trend of legislation and he meaning of
party moves by experts rather tnan to
have to wade through five or six-col-
Specialization has come into politics
as into everything else.

A PRACTICAL JUDGE.

IF the reports in the Pittsburg news
papers are true a peculiar standard OF
official conduct has been reached in
that city. A police magistrate was ar
rested there recently for creating
disturbance in a disorderly house. The
officers were called in and the police
Judge fought them until. with black
ene5 optics and torn clothing, he was
CAPTURED and taken away to Jail.
Ordinarily, the public would expect
a MAGISTRATE to resign after such an
escapade. but this one did not resign.
Failing that, the public would expect
that he would be dismissed from office,
but this did not happen in Plttsburg.
The offender was suspended for thirty
DAYS, and presumably at the end OF
that period will resume his duties on
the bench.
It is difficult to see how such a man
can Judge the acts of others or now
his decisions can provoke anything
hit a sheer at law and judges. But
Pittsburg probably has ITS own IDEAS
In one of the opening chapters OF
the Heart of Midlothian" there is an
interesting colloquy between a magis-
trate and Jimmie Radcliffe, noted
prisoner, against whom the evidence
was clear and he was due for trans
portation Jimmie came before the
Judge and applied for the position or
taller. Asked on what grounds he ap-
piled for such place. he replied that
having talent for breaking out OF
iail he considered himself just the man
to keep other people in. Perhaps the
Pittsburg judge, having been drunk
and disorderly, and having fought the
police, himself may be better man
from the Pennsylvania standpoint to
pass upon the guilt of others VINO do
the same thing.

TWO OPERETTAS.
Will Be Given for Benefit Of Relief
Corps.

The Sumpter Reporter has this to
say of the performance Of Red Riding
Hood" which will be given in this city:
Pretty and picturesque in every
particular" is the alliterative way in
which fond parent poured her senti-
ments into the ear of the Reporter man
last night as the curtain at Ellis opera
house dropped upon the final scene of
Red Riding Hood" Certainly the
young folks acquitted themselves with
credit alike to the community which
encourages their talent, and to their
instructors, Prof. Simpson and his wife.
The professor took a pride in the drill
ing Of his pupils after they had shown
evidences of a desire to master the
details of the two Operettas. He work
ed industriously and with successful
results, both from an artistic and
financial standpoint. For this he will
carry with him to the next point of
presentation, the hearty endorsement
of the public and of the Order of Lions.
under whose auspices the operettas
were given.

dom was face to face again with the
question of a successor, and various
names for heir apparent were propos-
ed. Among these was Bernadotte, the
marshal of France, and Prince of
Ponte Corvo, whose wife was a sister
of tn. wife of Joseph Bonaparte.
Bernadotte, though he had made war
on the Swedes and had been military
governor of Pomerania, was favor
ite candidate because Of his treatment
of the Swedes. In the wars he had
always been fair. Napoleon gave his
consent though he secretly iispliked
and opposed the selection. Thus the
Rernadotte family came to the throne
of Sweden, where it is today. The
present king, Oscar II, is the grandson
of the original Bernadotte king, who
came to the throne in 1918 under the
name Of Charles XIV.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS:
MUST GET THEIR FEET OUT OF
THE TROUGH.

1t now begins to look as if the RoOse-
welt administration has started out IN
earnest to enforce the Sherman anti
trust law. For a long time the Amer
lean people have wondered why the
criminal section of this law has been
ignored, the government relying upon
Injunction suits to curb the trusts.
But evidently a new leaf has been
turned. The investigation of the beef
trust by the federal grand jury at
Chicago is almost certain to lead to
the indictment of the big packers of
the trust for violation of the Sherman
law, and assurance is given that the
prosecution will be backed by all the
power of the department of justice
headed by Attorney General Moody.
This is the course that should have
been followed long ago, but it is bet
ter late than never, and the people
will support the administration in its
tardy effort to enforce all sections of
the Sherman law. The prosecutions
should not stop with the beef trust.
The Standard Oil Trust should be
thoroughly investigated and old Rookie
Teller and mis- imps should be given a
fair sample of true American justice
impartially administered. There are
MANY other truSt cOnSniratOrS who de-
serve punishment and it would be Well
for the administration to make a clean
sweep while it is busy along this line.
President Roosevelt has evidently
made up his mind that the predatory
trusts must get their feet out of the
trough and when the president sets
out to accomplish anything he never
turns back.

THE BERNADOTTES IN SWEDEN


The accession of a Frenchman to the
ancient throne of the Goths is not we'll
understood. 1t arose out of the wars
and intrigues of Bonaparte when he
was the dictator of Europe, and had
the habit Of putting his brothers and
his marshals on European thrones va
Gated by their pOssessors on the ap-
proach of his victorious hosts.
The selection of Bernadotte for the
Swedish throne was. however, made by
the Swedes themselves, and. was only
coldly consented to by Napoleon. 1t
was after the treaty of Tilset. agreed
to between Napoleon and Alexander,
emperor of Russia, at their famous
meeting on a raft moored in the mid
die Of a river, that the events began
which brought the Bernadotte family
TO the throne of Sweden.
Two secret articles of great import
ance were in that treaty. Napoleon
agreed to allow Alexander a free hand
to deal with Turkey except as to Con-
stantinople. ana Alexander agreed that
if England did not make terms salts
factory to Napoleon Russia would
force Sweden and Denmark to close
their ports against England.
the Swedish king, Gustavus w. re-
fused to accede to this, and Russia
made war upon him. The king was
deposed by his subjects because of his
mfirmities, and his aged unvie. the
Duke of Sudermania, was placed upon
the throne. Peace was made with
Russia and France. and Sweden was
compelled to join the continental sys-
TEN OF Napoleon. The labor of the
