ADoLPll. End COOK. WAS VERY
ANGRY.


After breaking two bedposts from
his couch, and knocking down about
two square feet Of plasterins from the
wall Of his bed room in the 1T. Michael
hotel, Wednesday night, in demon
stration to his fellow employees Of what
he was going to do with the chef when
he found him, Adolph Scigel, erstwhile
second lord and master Of the kitchen
domain at the st. Michael, left yester'
day for Los Angeles, to seek other cul'
mary fields, and chefs, to conquer.
Adolph, Il seems, took offense Mt the
chef because the latter did not make
Hope de chemera sizons to suit him
and endeavored TO instruct the chef in
the manner the rear department Of the
hotel should be conducted, but, firm In
his heretofore undisputed authority
the chef refused to be instructed, and
Adolph rendered his resignation, later
making the demonstration Of his manly
strength.
The proprietor, however not being
either student or instructor OF physical
culture, resented the attack on his In
offensive bed, and plaster, and gave
Adolph the pleasing alternative OF leav'
ing the city without procrastination, OF
seeking the iron beds Of the city jail
on which to practice.

A SCHEME OF ST. JOHNS.

John was sleepy-head. celebrated,
indeed that he had never been known to
wake up by what his family called natural
process. He had either to be forced out Of
bed in the morning by physical strength on
the part of hsi big brother. or have cold
water dropped on his face-always some
heroic measure to get him to breakfast. SO
when he went off to college, 1t was only
natural that he should be presented with
alarm clocks from two Of his numerous
aunts.
lone will be enough. DEAR" said his
mother; but John took them both After
he had been established for some time in
lodgings near the campus. he wrote home a
humorous account Of how he managed to
awake with the help of his two monitors.
He set the alarm of one at the hour of
rising and placed 1t at the head of his bed:
the other he set fifteen minutes later. and
each night placed it at the head Of the
stairs outside of his landladys door.
AS his alarm went off in the morning. his
first thought was that the clock on the
stairs would make itself heard In fifteen
minutes This aroused him so fully that
he was able to spring out Of bed on the in
slant. 1t would never do to startle the
landlady, as she had been known to send
boarders away for small offenses-and John
was comfortably settled
This went on from month to month, and
worked so well that John never lost a
breakfast during the term.

CAN YOU SEE?

Try it in this interesting game. which any
number of persons may play. The objects
to be seen placed a table in a sep
arate room. or they may be the ordinary
articles of furniture in such room. One
of the players should prepare the room or
the table The more articles there are the
better. Each player is admitted to the
show room the same length of time, say
half minute, or the whole company may
file in slowly and keep In line as they pass
around the room and out again, looking
carefully at every object. Then all write
down many articles as can be remem-
bered. Each player is allowed the same
length of time to think and write.
These lists are then read aloud by a
leader and checked by a correct and COM
plete list previously prepared. The points
a player makes equal the number of arti-
cles he names correctly. If he names an
article that was not in the room he loses a
point. The prize goes to the player who
has the most points at the close.
This same game may be played out-of-
doors. and each player be given three min
utes to write down what he sees from the
piazza, or wherever he may be sitting.

ONE WAY TO READ.

'What are you reading. Frank" asked
mother as Frank suddenly yawned and
shut his book.

''but | don't like II very much, because he
refers TO many things l never heard Of
iavelian plotting? What kind of plotting
IS that. anyway"
"Machiavel was an Italian" explained
mother. land such a crafty, schemng per-
son that ever since he lived people have
SPOKEN OF particularly willy plots and
schemes as Machiavelian. Frank. that
question OF yours puts me In mind of
something that our teacher used to make US
do. years ago. when / was at school.
"Our literature class very interest
Ing and one in which girls all tried to
do our very best. Our reading matter was
chosen by our teacher, Miss Dayton, and

be a great many references made to DIFF

the same time very instructive. as you may

HIDDEN TELEGRAMS.

In this game you are to imagine you have
a distant friend with whom you have an
understanding about an expected message.
1t might be that there are two or three
contestants for a certain prize or honor.
The name Of one might be Jenkins, that of
another Harrison, and that Of the third
Sheldon. Suppose jenkins is the successful
contestant, and that you wish to telegraph
to your friend simply the name of Jenkins.
However, you wish to conceal the message
as much as possible, so the understanding
Is that the first letters of the words you
telegraph will spell the name.
With this explanation each player sets
to work to write clever sentence In which
the first letters will spell Jenkins. The
various players may get sentences like
these:
Judge Engles never knew I noticed Sally.
Julia's elbow next knocked Irish Nora
silly.
Jack expects no kiss in Nova Scotia.
jam eating nearly killed key Nathan
Saturday.
It Is Impossible that there will be any two
alike, and the game is to see who can write

players vote to see whose Is best.

imagine. I remember Machiavel was one
OF the very references had to look up. OF
course, the references weren't always to
people, but often would happen upon a
whole phrase that we didn't understand"
Frank thought this was fine idea. and
promised to try it. He was a great reader,
and liked good books, too so at the end of
the week he had quite few notes to show
his mother. Here are some of them:
John suddenly met his Waterloo"
Mr.. Winters was veritable old Shy
lock-
1T was almost a repetition of the horri-
BILE massacre of St. Bartholomew"

Girls and boys. see if you are more in

1t would be necessary for you to hunt them
up, too, II you found them in some book.
