prizes after a very hard fight. The
first prize offered was won by our boys
fair and square, as Whiting had one
man in their team who answered to an
other mans name at roll call. Rob-
ertsdale protested. The prize for best
appearance in the parade was also cap
tured by them, which made the boys

ty sore. When the first race was called
but two teams responded. Whiting
team was SO sore because RobertsdaIe
protested in their attendance, that they
acted like a lot of first year school chill
dren and refused to enter any of the
races. In the first race Roberts dale
won the hose race, hands down, beat
ing Crown Point by tx seconds. This
nearly broke their hearts as they
thought they had this race on ice, SO
they filed a protest against Roberts
dale. It seems as though they couldn't
understand how they could be beaten
so easily, but did our boys show yell
low streak and go bowling around and
telephoning their friends as home that
they were being cheated and barred out
of the races? No! They acted like
men, and when the call came for the
hook and ladder race, they were there
and did their best, Crown Point winning
the race by two seconds. The next
race was also won by Crown Point

No Soup. No Dinner, the Rule Laid
Down BY Barney.

Six years ago, when the king visited
Dublin, some amusing incidents were
recorded due to the grotesqueness of
some hotel walters apparently just
fresh from rural life.
One hotelkeeper told such a newly
imported server" that he must al.
ways serve every one with soup at
dinner and be quite certain that he
had it.
Thercupon ensued the following
scene between a visitor and the new
waiter:
Soup, sir?" said Barney.
NO soup for me-" said the visitor.
But you must have it," said Bar.
ney: its the rules of the house"
Hang the house," exclaimed the
visitor highly exasperated When
don't want soup ! won't eat it. Get

advantage of being easily arranged.
Say there are to be 20 guests, that
means five tables. Label the first
Cities the second Famous Ameri-

Flowers" and the fifth may be Hero
ines" In the center of each table
place about 20 assorted letters. face
down. The guests are given score
cards on which in fancy lettering are
the subjects Of the different tables.
After all are seated the bell rings
and the game commences. One player
turns letter so that all may see it.
The first person who thinks of city
beginning with that letter and says it
keeps the letter. For example. if
"B' is turned some one says Boston"
and takes the letter. When all the
cities are gone the bell rings. The
two players having the most cities
progress.
