Magic colors.

Another pleasing game, with Christmas
gifts as prizes, is Magic Colors. 1t may
be used as the foundation Of a holiday
party either for children or grown ups.
The morning before the company IS TO
assemble the hostess tak0s as many small
lengths of ribbon as she expects guests
All the ribbons are in different colors, OF
shades OF colors, and each ribbon strip is
cut into halves. One-half or each ribbon
is hidden somewhere in the rooms t.
which the guests are admitted
When the game is about to begin the
hostess makes a little bunch Of the rib
bon pieces matching those hidden. Each
player In turn closes his eyes and draws
piece from the bunch The color drawn
becomes his for the game.
The hostess then explains that a Christ
mas gift is waiting for the player who
first finds the mate to the ribbon strir
that he holds Any one finding a ribbon
belonging to another player is requested
TO pass on without indicating its where
obouts. and continue searching until his
own is discovered.

WOMEN AS THEY PASS
Games for the Holidays

a good idea for a holiday party is the
mechanical toy race. in which toys Of
various descriptions. moved by s.rngs.
etc. race across the drawing room IN
order to win prizes for their owners.
To prepare for race ask each member
Of the party to secure and bring with
him mechanical toy. In order TO afford
all an equal chance it should be under
stood that no toy entering the contest is
to cost mere than so cents. ANY toy
capable Of being wound up and running
race-such as an engine. horse, or
blcycie-is eligible. II the party is large
it is better to divide up the number Of
players and have only six entries in each
race.
Every toy which wins race is eligible
for the test which follows at the end,
The test races continue until some par
ticular toy has come out winner three
times.

THE editor OF Our Dumb animals
will lose caste an he amend not his
old fogy way of thinking. In
these days OF snobbery, when we
are doing everything in imitation
of royalty that some lingering
tradition of the simple ways of the
Fathers of the Republic permits,
the following-to which MI. Angel
unblushingly signs his full name
has a curious reading and bears
the moldering scent of antiquity /:
We have not for some time felt
more profoundly grateful that we
are an American sovereign than
after listening to a statement in
the Boston Herald of the ridiculous
ceremonies and servilities required
by the German Emperor from re-
spectacle outside people who come
into his royal presence. At the
close of the description we felt like
singing "The Star Spangled Ban
ner" and saying most strenuously,
"Glory hallelujah."

The man who lost the bass drum

Ocean.
Newspaper photographers have made
merry with the absent-minded man,
and he has been accused of all sorts
OF deeds of omission and commission.
Therefore, some Of the stories told at
his expense have been taken in a
PickWickian sense The tale that a
man said he was so absent-minded
that he at n time lost a bass drum
has always been considered a mere
Joke.
Originally this story may have been
a fable, but now it is true. A man has
actually lost a bass drum, and all the
members of an Iowa band will bear
witness to the fact.
1t happened near Davenport, a few
Sundays ago. There was a celebration
at Davenport and an u~p-country band
had arranged to take part in the fes-
tVlt1es. The train stopped at the sta
ton just a moment, and the members
OF the band piled into the smoker,
with their instruments and their re-
gala.
Just as the train was moving away
a fat, red-nosed man grasped the rail
and swung aboard. Then he turned
pale and gasped.

IT is we'll not to speak oracularly
of what the future has in store.
The North american Reuielp, fifty
years ago, declared that "the peo-
pie of the United States have now
reached their inland western 'front.'
Ter, and the banks of the Missouri
are the shores at the termination
of a vast ocean desert, a thousand
miles in breadth, which it is pro-
posed to travel, if at all. with cara
vans of camels and which inter-
poses a final barrier to the estab-
lishment of large communities,
agricultural, commercial, or even
pastoral" A little later the Off
Gals of the War Department de-
clared that "from these immense
prairies will be derived one of the
great advantages of the United
otates, namely, the restriction OF
our population to some central
limits, and thereby the continual
ton of the Union. They will be
constrained to limit themselves to
the borders of the Missouri and
Mississippi, while they leave the
prairie, incapable of cultivation,
to the wandering and uncivilized
aborigines of the country" elm

Miss ALICE R~oOSEvELT'S mar
rage is announced to take place

wishes her happiness; but the in

is most painfully in evidence in
in connection with the affair.
From day to day the young lady's
picture is being printed: now
solus, now with her intended, now
as it is supposed she will appear
in her bridal array-for your news
paper artist has a vivid, all en-
comprising and brainful imagin-
ation-and in various other pos
sibIe situations and poses. The
syndicated press, when it takes
hold, doesn't know when to let go
in deeency and propriety. Such
sycophancy is amazing to all
sovereign Americans, imbued no
less with due self-respect than a
decent regard for the fitness of
things. The rot we read these
days about "the first lady of the
land" the precedence that must
be given Mrs. General over Mrs.
Judge at functions and receptions,
makes me sick and weary. Every
good woman in this Republic is a
queen by right, and d--n the snob-
berry that would graduate the ped
estal she occupies or differentiate
as to the crown she may wear!

 Arkansas will probably have a beer inspector soon. as the legis- lature have, through investiga- tion, found that our people con- sume about 1,750,00 gallons per year and a tax of 2cents per gal lon would net about $35. 5.00O, a sum that could be nicely applied to the school fund, after deduct ing one $2,O00 salary, which will go to some pet of the governor.
 The Cotter Courier says the papers of the big towns down the river are jealous and their efforts are amusing and pitiful. :" The Batesville Bee says amen, and it seems to be up to New port to answer, for the Bee doesn't think that the term "big towns" could include Batesville. This modesty of the hill city is as much a source of wonder as the exaggerated claims of Cot ter's railroad capitalists.
