WHOM DOICALLTHIS Time?
A GAME.


If this is played by large company Il
adds to the fun.
A stake Ks set up in the middle of the
room or on lawn. A grace hoop" stake
Will do. There must be a ring for each
player and name of a player attached
to each ring.
There are two sides and a captain for
each side. The hoops lie In pile. and the
captain of one side takes hoop and losses
it over the stake. exclaiming. Whom
do l call this time?" If the captain fails
to place the ring over the stake, the cap
tain OF the other side takes his turn. On
the other hand, if the ring goes over the
stake, number one, next the captain Of
the other side. has a guess as to whose
name is written on the slip attached to
the ring. If he guesses correctly, he can
choose one from the other side; IL his
guess is wrong that side loses player,
and so on until one side far outnumbers
the other. Prizes, of course, add to the
charm.

THE SORROWFUL TALE OF
WILLIE JONES.
BY JOHN GORDON.


Naughty little Willie Jones,
He saw some chickens dig
A hole beneath the deacon's fence
Until 1t grew quite big.
Then little Willie thought and thought:
I'm likewise dig said he.
Until the hole is large enough
And deep enough for me.
when once within I'll take some pears
And hide them in my waist
And then I'll crawl back to this side;
How jolly good they'll taste.''
He did 1t ALL that naughty boy,
But retribution came;
The getting in and getting out
He found were not the same.
Boy, plus the pears. quite filled the hole; !;
He stuck beneath the rails.
The deacon coming out just then
Gave heed unto his walls.
''Ha- -ha. ha -ha, ha ha.' he said,
And chortled loud with glee.
I've lost my pears, but l VIII seize
Ny p-por-tu- nj -ty!"
He seized It! More cannot tell,
My fountain pen runs dry:
And sympathetic tears will fow
From tender hearted eye.
Poor Willie learned his lesson; twas
Convincing and comm anding:
And for the present he prefers
To take his meals a-standing.

A WHISTLING GIRL.
BY MAY PRESTON

Folks used to say a whistling girl

And both were almost sure to come
To some unlucky end.

Communicate.

Mr.. EDrToR-In connection with nv
communication published 10 YOUR last
weeks issue, desire 70 add few more
remarks in regard to our approaching
corporation election. The more fTnink
over the matter, the stronger L realize
the Importance of giving this subject
our serious consideration. There are
two very important points that want
to impress upon the minds OF every
ell disposed voter who desires TO see
ticket elected Of our very best mate lal.
First. see that your head tax is paid he
fore March LIST DO not neglect this
matter, and then after IL is too ate. and
a GOOD man is defeated, say that IL you
only knew that an effort TO get strong
council in power was going to be made
you would have paid your head ak.
do not wait-pay il today. Past ex-
periences may not be repeated. A stiong
ticket may come opt Be ready. for II.
Second, let me saya word TO those who
are property holders and who are the
only eligible candidates. Those who
are not property holders and are dis
posed to vote for our representive men.
who may be among our best material.
want you to allow your name 10 be put
upon a ticket and IL elected serve for
one year So let me urge upon all such
men who are called upon, not TO decline,
but TO accept for the sake OF morality,
good government and self-respect. Have
you lost al. pride tor your old town.
Have you not somewhere about you
spark Of pride for the city built upon
the cliff, where a great many OF US were
born and have lived all OF our DAYS
Think OF the events that may occur this
year. IN our town, when representlve
men will be needed. IL there ever has
been or ever will be time when good
men are needed at the head, il is st this
time.
Then wake up, good citizens, and let
one and all make a determined effort 10
do his part and shrink from no duty In
this maIter-and ] feel ASSURED that our
efforts will be crowned with success.
Do not put it of on your neighoor. do
not be selfish, but remember you are
doing something for others If we live

ticket. how do-you expect 10 get tick
ct made up with representive menl DO
not finch, beg OF you, and let US all
pull together for good council.
In order to accomplish this. | believe
il would be better TO eliminate all other
issues and make the fight solely uTon a
council that will favor good government
when all factions and elements can
unite. In closing, let me again urge
and pray that our representive men may
feel the importance of this matter and
come forward and take part in this
election.
