HIEROGLYPHICS,

This game. which is really a trick, is
played with a confederate, and if cleverly
done, ''goodlie companie" may be de-
ceived
A Snowman, armed with a long. point
ed stick, stays in the room. and his con-
federate, the Guesser, Is shut out. while
the company thinks of word The
Guesser is called in. and the Snowman
proceeds to spell out the word on the
floor with sundry taps and strokes of his
stick
The solution is simple enough The
taps represent the vowels; one tap for a.
two taps for e. three for l. four for O, five
for u, and the Guesser need pay no at
tention to any other talking. Suppose
for instance, the company selects the
word book The cue is given in the
sentence which the Snowman uses to
call the Guesser in. He would say, in this
case. Better come in and the Guesser
would know at once that the first letter
of the first word In that sentence will
be the first letter of the word to be
guessed. The Snowman taps four times
with his stick and makes a lot of mis-
leading strokes and signs: then he taps
four times more for the second o, then he
says, in an offhand way. Kind of hard,
isn't it?' or any other sentence intro
duced by the letter k He finishes I'D
puzzle the Guesser, who, of course has
already secured his word.
The Snowman must be quick and clever
in placing his consonants at the begin
ming of spicy sentences, otherwise the
humor of the trick is lost.

THE SINGING DOG.

Dick developed this trait at a very early
age, and as he belonged to a musical
family they took great pride at first in
his accomplishment. There was no
doubt that he loved to exercise his voice
and no matter who was playing on the
piano the little bull terrier would plant
himself In the middle Of the floor, throw
back his head and break into an accom-
paniment of singing whines, which were
not amusing
But on one occasion Dick nearly came
to grief. trio Of wandering musicians
halted in front of the house one fine sum
mer eVenlng-a harpist, a violinist and a
hutist-and struck up some very pretty
melodies, sweet old tunes dear to every
body, and SO well played that many
stopped to listen.
Well in front, wagging his stump of a tall
with keen delight. Just in the midst of
The Last Rose of Summer he sat him
self down, threw back his head and lifted
up his voice.
The effect was ludicrous, and the crowd
Uttered. The musicians stopped two or
three times and tried to drive the dog
nome and would not bulge They tried a
diherent tune; Dick chimed In with re-
neWed ardor, while the growing crowd
shrieked with merriment
BY this time the musicians were furious
muttering some dreadful things in Italian.
Ihey shouldered their belongings but as
they went away the violinist flung a brick
ing and howlfng to be comforted at home
From that day, however, Dick kept his
solos for the home circle, and never again
appeared in public.

But mother, she was clapping and snil-

"On Franklin terrace. l do not know

What do you know about Ruth?
Not much mother; she has not been

An hour later in the parlor OF cheap

THE L. G. S. S.

This was a secret society composed of
half dozen little girls and lady who
knew all about societies. OF course, she
knew that l.. G. S. S. stood for Little
Girls Sewing Society,"" and that 1t was
organized to help the hospital to buy
things for the poor sick people, but no.
body else had any idea what those let
ters meant. Each member who was ad-
mitted to the club had to promise never
to tell its name to any one and, besides
every member of the club knew how to
sew, and at every meeting during the
summer they worked like busy bees, so
that when the fall came they had made so
many pretty things that they decided to
give a fair.
The kind lady superintended every thing
and the l.. G. s. s. sold all its stock In
one afternoon, while its treasury swelled
to bursting point. and there was a nice
new five-dollar bill to hand in to the
hospital fund. Besides. there was a
treat of ice cream and cake for the faith
full workers.
The society is still existing, but during
the school months the rules and reeula-
tions are tied up with red tape and laid
upon the shelf for use next summer.

THE LAND OF SWEETNESS.

The mighty Lady Bread and Butter
Dwelt in a tower of dainties made:
The walls Of pudding crust were fashioned.
The floor With cracknels overlaid.
Sponge cake was her mattress,
Well softened with milk.
Her bed had for curtains
Spun sugar like silk.
Great Master Muffin did she marry.
Whose cloak was made Of toasted cheese:
His hat was framed with incest fritters
In pie-crust coat he walked with ease
His chocolate waistcoat
Looked very funny,
With stockings Of candy,
And slippers Of honey.
The fair Angelica, their daughter
Oh mel what sweets the maid compoesi
In truth she WAS the choicest comht.
OF taffy is her lovely nose
I see her arraytng
Her gown with such taste!
She's decked 1t with flowers
OF best apple paste.
Young Lemonade that stately sovereign,
once came the lady to adore;
Large pendent wreaths Of roasted pippins,
Twined In tn marmalade locks he wore.
With diadem royal,
OF cakes he was decked,
And circlet Of raisins
Commanded respect.
A guard Of Cucumbers and Capers,
Accompanied the mighty lord,
Their muskets all were charged with pepper
Of onion peel was every sword.
Upon u throne sublime Of pancakes
The royal couple proudly sat;
Bopb0ns were flowing from their packets
From morn till eve-and after that.

"TIT FOR TAT" SOCIETY.

Jim and Jessie were twins as much
alike as two peas in a pod, with this aw-
fui diference-one was a boy and the
other was a girl. While Jim was small
enough to wear long curls and pinafores,
you really couldn't tell which was which;
but when he got rid of his curls and went
into trousers everything was changed
He began to put on lordly airs and to Or
der Jessie about. Jessie opened her blue
eyes at first In astonishment; she never
thought about the trousers, but though
she was only a girl. she had plenty of
spirit and would not be imposed upon.
Il WISH" said Jim one day, that you'd
mend these holes in my stockings, Jess"
and he held up pair of dreadful-lo
objects.
What will you give me?" asked Jessie
"Ill say thank YOU. and let you watch
me sail my new boat" he answered con-
descendingIy
That's not fair" began Jessie, and
mamma broke in:
Il should say not! If Jessie is to darn
your stockings, there must be tit for tat
Now listen to my plan for the winter
which, understand" and mamma shook
her finger warningly, must be followed
rigidly. From today | organize a Tit for
Tat Society. Jessie, l know, will agree to
darn your weeks supply of stockings, in
return for which, every Wednesday and
Saturday you must play bootblack If
you fail to polish her shoes on those days
you will be forced to carry the holes in
your stockings over till the next week
and If Jessie fails to see that you are
properly provided, the boots will go un-
polished. Now. all in favor of my plan
say 'Ay."
"Ay, ay." they both cried, and it was
adopted at once.
If the boys and girls would like to know
how 1t worked let them try it and see
