The republican candidates were given a royal welcome at Williams Wednesday. The opera house was filled with voters and they were not afraid to make a noise for their favorites. If the enthus- iasm of this meeting is any indi- cation of what is going to happen in Williams Nov. 3, it means a straight republican majority.

DOG HAS WOODEN LEG

There is a little dog out In German
town which has been the cause OF
much amusement during the past year.
and all because he wears wooden leg.
About a year ago the dog, which be-
longed to young lady of about
years, was run over by a trolley car,
it's leg being cleanly amputated at
point about half way down. The young
lady was. of course, grief-stricken, so
her father, instead of shooting the dog
as he had at first intended bandaged
up it's leg with the result that in time
the animal recovered. For a while it
limped around on three legs, but its
progress was very painful to behold.
Then the little girls father evolved
the idea of constructing a wooden leg.
He did this with great care and at
tached 1t by straps so as to make 1t
absolutely secure. The dog did not APP
preciate the advantages of a wooden
leg for some time and tried hard to
get it off, even going so far as to gnaw
at it viciously. Gradually however, en-
lightenment came upon him. and soon
he was putting 1t to it's full use. Now
he can get around on it as well as most
dogs can on the legs that nature gave
them, but the sight is a strange one,
and the little girl and her dog excite
mirth wherever they go.-Philaedlphia

HALLOWEEN GAMES THE
YOUNG FOLK WILL ENJOY

An interesting game, if the hostess
wishes to introduce the prize element
into Halloween party. is to have
pumpkin lantern-cutting contest.
She should provide as many pump
kins as there are guests, sharp knife
apiece. sheets of red and black paper,
a candle and tin stand such as are
used on birthday cakes. In the west
when pumpkins are scarce and ex-
pensive, the large melons or squashes
may be used instead.
A time limit should be set. and, If
possible, or, If she prefers to shift the
responsibility, the entire party can
vote for the winners.
The prizes can be candy in pumpkin
or cat favors, an illustrated copy of
Burns poem on Halloween, or three
small bags in three shades of orange
silk, tied together at the top with
fluffy rosette of narrow gilt braid.
In one of the bags is a handful of
hemp seed for sowing; in another the
pairing of three apples and in the third
Is a small mirror, candle. comb
and an apple for the mirror test
Added interest is given to apple bob
bing If in each apple a slit is cut, and
in 1t is slipped waxed paper, wrap
ping another paper or caro-, on Wnlcn
is printed the name of boy or girl
who will be the winners partner.
Another jolly game for Halloween is
to hang a big pumpkin securely In a
doorway by stout wires. 1t must be
low enough to be easily reached by the
players. over the surface of the pump
kin is pasted the alphabet cut out of
thick paper.
A hatpin, with large head, is given
to boy or girl, who sets the pumpkin
twirling rapidly, and while it is in mo-
tion tries to stick pin into letter.
Each player is given three trials for
the three initials of the future hus-
band or wife. Care must be taken to
let go of the hatpin as soon as it
strikes the pumpkin or it may break
off

CHINA AND THE RAILROAD

"China Is supposed to be extremely
slow in taking up with modern i'm
provements and devices" remarked
Charles Chopp. "And so 1t is. And
yet once saw some sights at the open
ing Of new railroad in the interior OF
China that tended to disprove any such
belief. To the contrary. it looked as il
China was literally falling over itself
In it's welcome of such modern i'm
provements. for instance, as railroads.
"Talk about enthusiasm I never
witnessed anything like 1t in my life.
You never saw an emancipation day
excursion crowd so anxious to get
aboard a train. These Chinese
wouldn't even walt their turn in climb
ing aboard In the regular way. The
minute they reached the train they be-
gan to climb in through the windows,
dragging their baggage In after them.
Some of them had baggage too bulky
to go through the window and they left
1t behind rather than take any chances
on getting aboard. BY the 4 time all
were on the train looked as If 1t had
been through wreck.
Nothing in that incident to show
any wild prejudice against the use Of
steam railroads is there?'-C

PARIS TOY SHOW

The annual competition for new toys
organized by NJ. Lepine, prefect of
police, was held in Paris recently. The
inventions this year are amusing and
topical. Aeroplanes are largely repre-
sented. One of these, made by M. De-
brun, an ex-professor of physics, is
little masterpiece. 1t is an almost exact
reproduction of the Delagrange ma
chine, and has a small electric motor,
Held by an almost invisible steel wire,
the aeroplane flies, rises and falls, and
even changes its direction. M. Erge
has made a toy called the ''vapiano,"
with which he solves the scientific
problem of perpetual motion" THE
'vapiano, says correspondent of
London paper, "is based on the tension
of certain bodies produced by humidity.
The apparatus is composed of disk.
with a hole in it's center and supported
by eight strings around an axle, the
extremities of which rest on pivots.
Underneath there Is a basin filled with
water. The strings, moistened and
drying alternately cause the apparatus
to move 'perpetually.' One of these
toys has been in motion for three
months already" =

PIECES OF BILLS

The treasury department will redeem
mutilated greenback, provided that
three-fifths of it is recovered. The
method of determining just what part
of the bill remains is interesting. The
mutilated pieces are pasted carefully ON
a backing of paper the size of the COM
plete bill. The expert has a piece of
glass to correspond with the bill in
shape. This glass is divided into forty
squares. When placed over the bill, IL
the expert finds that the remnants fill
twenty-four of the squares, or three
fifths of them, the greenback is re-
deemed.
The experts have a copy of every bill
issued by the government, so that the
models are at hand to identify any
piece of money, no matter how old.

Halloween Bows.

Hiding, creeping, sneaking,
Everywhere about;
whispering in lowest tones,
With ne'er a laugh nor shout
Taking gates from hinges
Hanging them Ia trees;
Piling debris In the yards
High up as mems knees.
Placing pals Of water
'Gainst the front hail door;
Then ringing loud the door bell.
And scamperiug of before
The door be quickly opened
BY master In undress,
who gets himself most thoroughly
Drenehed to the skin. Goodnessi
And through the hours till midnight,
(When Halloween Is o'er)
The boys who re fond Of mischief
Do all they can--and MORE.

JUNIOR IN SCHOOL

HlO SCHOOL TEACH Can the
Herald Junior help you in your
n work with the children Of our
western land? If 1t can, will you let
us know in what way?
We are both working for the adj
vancement of knowledge, wisdom and
strength among the young people about
us, Can we not help each other?
The Herald Junior has several de-
partments which are open to contribu-
tions from children. 1t offers prizes of
others, for excellence in these different
branches, and the editor is at much
thought to select ideas, topics and
short stories which will stimulate Or
iginality and the power of written ex-
preston in the school children of the
country.
When the topics assigned for letters,
the stories or the articles which appear
in this magazine seem to be undesirable
from the teachers standpoint, then it
is time for some kind reader of this lit
tie paper to step in and offer objection.
preciated.
1t seems a good thing to develop the
powers of observation. and for that
reason the topic assigned for letters
last week and this week was BE
tween My House and the Schoolhouse."
viii the letters show that boys and
girls really see things as they go on
their familiar path or walk unheeding
on their way?
Perhaps some of the teachers will
announce this same topic for a test in
English work and allow the best let
ters to be sent to Herald Junior for
publication. This may serve to induce
good work when every day methods are
less successful. Surely the dollar cash
prize which is given every week for
the best letter will make some small
appeal to most public school pupils.
Complete announcements concerning
prizes and rules are to be found under
the various headings: Writer'S Con-
test, Limerick Contest and Unfinished
Story Contest
1t is the intention of the editor that
this paper shall reach every school,
house in Los Angeles, SO that some one
in the building may have an opportun-
ity to see what the Herald Junior
stands for and just how far it has at
tained its object-to produce paper of
the youth, by the youth and for the
youth of the great southwest.

within certain date as to whether
they would be able to attend. They
were informed that a partner. wear

the appointed time. When the time
to unmask came many were indeed
surprised to learn who their partners
were.
There were many young folks among
the guests who were talented, and an
interesting program was a feature of
