Not Enough Pieces.

The management of Held's band of
twenty-five pieces was barred from to-
days competition which required thirty
two pieces.
The interest taken in the two splendid
musical organizations, according to
Thomas Homer, is expected to carry
much weight with Salt Lakes cam
paign for the 1908 convention. 1t is con-
coded that either Philadelphia or Balti-
more will be chosen for 1907. The fol-
lowing year it WILL according to custom,
come west again. Salt Lake and st. Jo-
seph are the only avowed candidates.
Homer believes enough arguments con-
corning climate and scenery similar to
those that brought the convention to
Denver this year can be used to beat the
Missouri river town.

SOME NEW MARBLE GAMES
Suitable for Indoors When the
Weather VIII Not Permit
Of Outdoor Play.

An Indoor game OF marbles is a good
thing for rainy day. when outdoor
sport is impossible. There Is the bat
tie game, for instance, which Is fun OF
possibilities. In its simpler form Il is
played by two boys. each using the
same number of marbles, which repre-
sent the soldiers.
The two boys sit on the floor az op-
posite sides OF the room. so that the
seams In the carpet or the cracks in
the wooden floor run 20 their right
and left. The seam or line nearest the
middle OF the room forms the enemy's
line TO both players. The line next
70 that. on each side is the dead line.
Each player may place his marbles as
he chooses between the enemy's line
and his own dead line.
One marble Is selected as a sharp-
shooter and is used by the two play
ers alternately. each Of whom tries to
shoot his opponents men beyond their
dead line. All men so driven beyond
the dead line, either directly by the
shooter or by being struck by another
marble. are dead" and the player
who first kills his opponents men IS
the winner of the battle"
The hand must never be advanced
beyond the dead line in shooting; and
II. by accident. player hits one OF his
own men and drives him beyond the
enemy's line into his opponents field

METHODIST PRoTEsTANTs.

One Of the denominations which is
