UNCLE JACKS
SATURDAY. TALK
Ny Dear Children:

My Dear Children:
An interesting letter from Japan printed
In Aouth gives a description of the games
played by japanese children. THE school
boys play a game with rings says the
writer, which they put over their heads
and pull down until they can step out OF
them. There are two teams and they
start Mt a signal from a flag which marks
the starting and finishing points. The
course is about 40 yards each way. two
boys on each side, carrying two long poles
between them run to ring J. then IN "
drop the poles and the front boy puts the
ring over his head and goes through. H..
The second boy does the same, then they
pick up the poles and run to rims : ana
pass through IL In the same manner; uleI
rings 8, 4 and 5, until they have completed
the course. The two boys who first reach
the poles from which they started win.
THE little boys play marbles a great
deal and have pretty glass marbles. They
do not seem to play In a regular circle or
ring. but shoot all over and try to hit one
another. The girls, In place of playing
with marbles, seem to prefer pieces OF
glass which are triangular in shape, not
very regular. aud which they throw or
pitch at each others piece OF glass on
the ground.
"a very simple game which interests
the children very much is playing with q
small parachute about six or eight inches
across. Tie boys and girls have long
poles of bamboo and very light, generally
ten or twelve feet long. and they put these
up in the air with the little parachute on
1t. Then they pull the pole down quickly
from the parachute. which comes down
very slowly, and the children get much
amusement In seeing 1t come down.
About the little girls; ] will tell you
first that their principal game seems to
be taking care of the children. The jap
anese take care of the babies by fasten-
ing them on their backs and the little
girls have babies fastened on their backs,
too.
81 did NOT see any little girls with
d~ollies," concludes the writer. "bu there
were SO many with real babies that l
guess they never need any imitation ones.
These were about all that I noticed in the
streets. except that The boys were play
ing soldiers with wooden guns" Yours
truly. G JACK.

the little girl very low and fast. YOU'D
better hurry. Ny but you've got a lott
THE mean old thingi" Elsie said to
herself. II won't pare potatoes and
she threw the pan on the floor and the
potatoes went rolling all over the cave.
All the other little girls shuddered and
worked faster than ever. The witch flew
at Elsie and shook her until her teeth
chartered and then told her she must pick
up the potatoes. If she did not nave
them all ready by 8 o'clock she would be
sent into another cave near by to wait
upon the old woman's son., who was a ter
rible ogre.
Tears of pain and anger filled Elsio's
eyes, but she got down on the floor of the
cave and began hunting for the potatoes.
She had to crawl around on her hands and
knees, and 1t was not a pleasant task, Tor
the potatoes had rolled under the rocks
and into cracks md corners where there
were spiders and lizards and ugly toads.
By the time she had the potatoes all
back in the pan she had made up her
mind to pare as fast as ever she could,
and get out of that horrid place.
Suddenly a clock began slowly striking
six; all the little girls Jumped up and
carried their pans to the old woman Wne
counted the potatoes and put them Into
the pot, and the little girls disappeared.
Elsie began to cry harder and harder
and her tears splashed down onto tine
potatoes, as she thought of the nice time
they were having at home, and of the
peach waffles.
30. dear. 1 shall starve down here" she
sobbed. 81 wish l could see my mamma.
I never, never will be naughty again..
And then another strange thing hap
pened. The old witch and the kettle OF
potatoes mi the cave began to a away,
and Elsie felt herself slowly rising until
she found herself rolling over In her own
little white bed and Johnny standing by
with a plate of delicious peach watties.
"Huilo, Elsiei Why, what are you cry
ing about?'
10. 1 want to tell mamma that / am
truly, truly sorry, and l don't want to
pare potatoes cried Elsie.
Johnny laughed and aid she had been
dreaming, but Elsie knew better,-New

BAD BOYS FEAR

All bad boys are much afraid
OF COLLINS in the air;
They think they fly about at night,
And peep in everywhere.
They think that COLLINS, great and small,
Do hide beneath the bed;
And while boys sleep do sally forth
To poke them in the head.
And pull their hair and punch their eyes,
And twist their very toes;
And jerk their knees right out Of joint,
Well, p'rhaps they dol-Who knows
But fact 1t is, and proven, too,
Tha good boys never fear;
They know that COLLINS don't exist,
And. therefore, can't come near.

And any child could go in there ana
stay:
II we had Saturdays five times q week;
n Christmas came on every other day;
If grown folks loved to hear a lot of noise;
This world would be quite nice for little
BOYS.

THE LRTTlE SISTER

I hear some fellows say they'd like
To have a little sister,
But IL mine were a dog or bike"
l don't think I'd "a missed her.
On afternoons when chums call you
To go with them a-swimmin',
She's sure to sob. "Boo-hooi boo-hoo!"
With tears her eyes a-dimmin'.
You never can go anywhere
But she comes toddlin' after;
And she can't ever AXE a dare,
Or swing on the barn rafter.
Why do folks wonder that you're kind
OF cross and lots put out, when
You have her Saturday to mind.
And seasons fine for troutin'?
How she's n single bit of use
To find I've not been able;
But still l guess I'd hate to lose
My little sister Mabel.
