FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
fhe Game of Huntsman Is q Fun
maker and Full of Action.

One person represents the hunts
man. The other players call them
selves after some part of hunts
mans belongings. For instance,
one is the cap, another the horn,
others the powder flask, gun, coat,
etc.
A number of chairs are arranged
in the middle of the room, and there
must be one chair less than the
number of players, not counting the
huntsman.
The players then seat themselves
around the room, while the hunts
man stands in the center and calls
for them, one at time, in this way :
"Powder flask" At once powder
flask" rises and, going behind the
huntsman, takes hold of his coat.
"Cap" Cum" "Shot!" "Belt!" the
huntsman cries. Each person who
represents these articles must rise
and take hold of the player sum-
moned before him until at length
the huntsman has long line be-
hind him. He then begins to run
around the chairs until he suddenly
cries, Bang" when the players all
sit down. Of course as there are
not enough chairs one player is left
standing, and he must pay forfeit
or change places with the hunts
man.

Here is a rainy day game: Assem-
bic your company in a darkened
room, arranged for magic lantern
exhibition. You should have cam
era on hand to aid in the fun.
"Who will sit for photograph ?"
you must ask. The first who vol
untcers is invited to sit in front of
the camera and to look pleasant. A
second takes his place after min
ute, third and fourth, and so on.
When the photographer has CO.,
lccted about a dozen he is ready to
show the proofs. For this purpose,
says the Washington Star, he must
have on hand the same number Of
comic slides and throw them in turn
upon the sheet. The result will be
very funny if the pictures are espe-
cially grOJesque. Any number of
Youngsters can be amused indoors
for a long wet afternoon.

Dotty's Dilemma.

Autumn was the awful word that Dotty
couldn't spell.
With other words 1t seemed to her she
got along quite well.
The teacher kept her In one day until she
could remember
The spelling of 1.-The season which ends
with bleak November"
For one-half hour poor Dotty sat. but
memory failed to aid her
Or bring before her saddened eye the word
which had delayed her.
At last, when deep detection seemed to
shut out every hope,
A happy thought broke through the gloom,
and Dotty ceased to NOPE.
"How stupid of me, silly! Why, 1t isn't
hard at all.
Scarcely any one says autumn and l
surely can spell fall 4"

Turnin1 Cider into Vinegar. :.

This is my way of turning old
cider into vinegar, writes CORE
spondent of the Housekeeper: If
thore is any honey left on the plate
after meal, rinse off carefully with
pure water and pour into the cider
barrel, or pieces of comb honey may
be crushed and used. 1t will not be
many weeks before you will have 81
excellent quality of vinegar even if
the cider is two or three years old.
This practice has been followed in
my family for years and always with
the best results.

Approaching an Iceberg.

Modern steamships are fitted
with instruments that tell when the
ship is approaching an iceberg, but
the men in the engine room can
tell without an instrument 1t is
said that when a ship enters water
a good deal colder than that through
which it has been passing its pro-
peller at once begins to revolve more
rapidly. When the men notice,
therefore, that the propeller, with
out an increase of steam, begins to
move faster they at once send word
to the officers, and the lookout"
gets on the alert for the berg.

There are some things of which do
not keep strict debit and credit ac-
count, and raising calves to cows Is
one, but strongly suspect that | can
not produce a good, well grown heifer
with her first calf for $50 or perhaps
$50, but the expense comes gradually
and after awhile one has fine young
cow and does not always have the $50
to buy one Then the strong point is
that if the calf has been bred right
with a good COW for its dam and for
its sire a bull descended from line of
dairy kings and queens. if the calf has
been fed right and the heifer fed right
and enough and handled right, we can
embrace the reasonable assurance that
the calf will develop into Il hcifer and
the hefer into COW that will mature
into a usefulness worthy of her in
heritance.-W. +. McSparran.

Mint Vinegar.

1t is always desirable to have
fresh mint sauce to serve with roast
lamb, but when this cannot be OBJ
tanned it is u good thing to have a
substitute on hand. This can be
prepared by putting fresh mint
leaves into wide mouthed bottle
and pouring pure cider vinegar over
them. Fill the bottle with the vim
egar, cork tightly and allow it t.
stand for two weeks. After that
strain the liquid into a clean bottle
and seal until ready for use.

CATTLE INTERESTS.
How Beef Finishers Are Farins-Dual
Purpose Stock.

BY FRASER MILAN.
Time discredited the prophets and
laid the specter of a vanishing cattle
industry. A few vital days in the wan
ing of the corn ripening season lifted
the depressed balance of the corn crop
and added millions of bushels to the
yield. Nevertheless the amount of the
corn shortage has made itself felt To
many feeders the corn belt cash has
looked better in view of the financial
furry, combined with the high cost of
feed, than has cattle, and they have
held 1t or turned to sheep or fOther
lines of business in which more profit
seemed to appear. This has sent great
numbers of calves and other stock to
local slaughter houses.
Those, however, who stood by the
good beasts and filled their feed lots
as usual seem, on the whole, to have
fair prospect of winning out when the
"cashing in" fever reaches the end of
its course, the length of that course de-
pending on easy money and the turn of
prices in the corn trade, which no man
may forecast. With diminished feed
lots the smaller number of cattle that
will be brought TO finish on the short
corn crop should mean Il good fighting
chance for future satisfactory profits.
The cattle situation is by no means
unique. Mutton fnishers are loudly
complaining of Improbable operations.
But, then, this is one of the usual NUT
ton events of the holiday season.
The great international live stock
show at Chicago has demonstrated
again that American beef finishers may
challenge the world with their prod
ucts., But in respect to prices obtained
for fat cattle it proved sore disap-
pOintment TO the producers. While
the demand at the show auction sales
was keen, buyers indulged in no fancy
run of prices. The fact that the cham
piOn car lot of the show went to the
scales at So per hundredweight as
against ST. last year is evidence of the
success with which killers kept prices
on Il basis that they claim to be justi
fed by present business conditions.
Unstinted praise for the quality of the
cattle hardly atOned for unprecedent-
edly small values. Six dollars and for
ty-eight cents was the average price
per hundredweight realized on car
lots.
Feeding Beef and Milk Stock.
Now that the beef and milk combina-
tion promises to be i'll greater favor in
this country it is of interest to farm
ers to know something of the methods
of the past masters in the art of pro
ducing dual purpose cattle English
breeders of dual purpose animals very
rarely allow their young stock to

The GiIa Monster.

The giIa monster is one of the
most repuIsive looking creatures in
existence. 1t is large lizard with
orange and black spots and is found
in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas,
mostly in the sandy desert lands.
Its terrible appearance has helped
perhaps to give it the reputation it
has of being one Of the most poi
sonous things that crawl, but it real
-ly is not so, as ii rule, to a man that
is in good physical condition, TO
small animals and biy'!s, however,
its bite is rapidly fatal. Most ZOO

specimens.

THE USUAL REWARD

President Roosevelt is "jist itch
in " for a chance to get upon the
political stump in the present cam
paign. Some Weeks ago he vowed
that when he got back to Washing, on
he was going to stay there until the
close OF term in office and now he
is sorry that he spoke. He can
scarcely resist the temptation to
throw aside the affairs of govern
ment, abandoning all precedent,
rolling up his sleeves and jumping
into the thick Of the fight.
SO much has been said concerning
his attempt to dictate who shall be
elected to succeed him in the presl-
dents chair that he is probably be-
coming a little bit ashamed on his
activities in this regard, at any rate
he Is casting about him for some
excuse which in his mind would
warrant his taking hand. He Is
said now to be considering making
the congressional fights that cxcuee.
lie is reported to be very much con
cerned about the outcome of the fight
Ia some of the congressional dis
tricts. Why he should be exercised
about the political welfare of large
number of the members of congress
Is not clear IL is well known, and
the congressional records show il to
be fact, that President Roosevelt
IN most Of the reforms which he at
tempted to institute received far more
liberal support from the Democrats
In congress than he did from the
Republicans and that were 1t not
for this support furnished by tie
members Of the opposing party, The
president would not have been
able to accomplish what he did ac-
