FOR ENTERTAINING CHILDREN.
Some Games That Will Afford Amuse.
ment to the Little Folks.

1t is net a difficult matter to give
children a happy time, because of
their responsiveness. To them "a
splendid time means merely few
folly games, some bright music, per
haps little dance, light supper and
tiny souvenir.
Their childish wishes are then more
gratified and they go home happy as
larks.
For children from five to II years
of age, four to eight o'clock is the best
time for the party, supper being at
about half after six.
For tiny tots, from three to six
o'clock is more suitable time, with
supper served at five O'Clock.
When a boy or girl can write his
or her own invitations they are much
more appreciated by their little
friends
But, for the wee tots, mother must,
of course, send out the invitations
At these parties the little host or
hostess must welcome each guest as
he or she arrives.
Mother, or some older person should
stand in the background and cordially
second the welcome first extended by
the little host or hostess.
Half an hour may be allowed for as
sembling and then the games should
begin.
A very amusing form of entertain
ment is to request each little grl to
bring her best doll, and each little boy
his finest toy dog.
Then have a baby show and
dog show
Let each little girl show her BABY
doll and let the judges decide winch
is the "cutest," which is the latest.
which is the ''prettiest," and which is
the best dressed Award the prizes
to each little mother.
After this have the dog show. Let
each little man show his dog in the
ring, and have some grown men to de-
eide the various points OF the dogs
shown, and then award the prizes.
A lawn hunt is very nice for chill
dren's parties.
Souvenirs of various kinds, wrapped
in paper are hidden here and there
over the lawn and the little one VINO
| finds the most of these packages re-
ceives a prize.
Peanuts or f 'Usts may be substituted
for the packages.

IN Insane Woman's Deed.

A double, perhaps a quadruple,
tragedy. occurred recently in Clay
county. Mrs. Nellie Polsgrove killed her
husband, Frank, and her 4-year-old
daughter, then set fire to the house,
and their bodies were moderated, on
ly dust and few charred bones re-
naming In addition she attacked
her two older children, Hubbard, a
boy, aged 10 and Lexie, a girl of 10.
Both will probably die. She apparent
ly used an axe on her victims, judging
from the character of the wounds on
the two found alive. 1t is supposed
that the woman killed her husband
and baby as they lay asleep, and that
the other children, awakened by the
noise, ran out of the house and were
overtaken and struck down where
they were found. Sudden homicidal
mania is the only explanation of the
affair. Mrs. Polsgrove has shown
sigma of insanity for several years,
but was not regarded as dangerous.
She has been placed in confinement.

MIX Inspector William r. Fortln of
this city Is meeting with no such opposi-

has been met by other inspectors in the
state. and particularly Inspector Scott OF
Providence.
Mr.. Forth has been busy for the past
10 days. and In a conversation which he
had with the representative OF the News
Democrat he stated that he had made a
thorough Inspection OF the conditions
which prevailed about the premises OF
every person who had asked for the privi-
lege of selling milk here. In some OF
these places he had found much that
could be improved, and he had made sug-
gestions which appeared TO have met AN
excellent reception.
Mr.. Fortin also declared that he had
been greatly surprised and thoroughly
pleased with some OF the things ne had
seen, and he was convinced that, taken
as a whole. the dealers who supply the
milk that is used in this city are careful
and attend TO the sanitary conditions
about their stables I'm most satisfactory
manner
He believed that no more cleanly set
OF milk dealers could be found in the
state OF Rhode Island than those who
furnished milk for Pawtucket people
He admitted that In some rev places
there were things that could be improved
but he had found the farmers ready TO
listen to his suggestions for improve
ment with a readiness which was highly
commendable and to follow out any sug-
gestions which he might make.
Mr.. Forth said that for the past week
he had been visiting the farmers. and
many Of these were located In Massachu-
setts. or course. h knw that he had no

at home. lie was thoroughly satisfied
with what he had learned. and he was
convinced the people Of this city hnd no
reason 10 feel any worriment regarding
the milk they were using or the manner
In which Il was being handled.
The Inspector said that he had realized
from the first that the greatest opposi-
tion TO the law had been because OF the
section WHICH requires the scaling of tire
milk bottles. Some OF the dealers had
complained against what they considered
the injustice OF this because os the cost.
but not one of them had given him any
reason TO suppose they would decline to
obey the law, and he had consequently
