EvERYRODY'S MOVE.
Recent Changes upon This Checker.
board OF Nights and Days"

What must look from the planet Mar,
like an April game of checkers with men
heavily loaded with household goods
jumping from place to place In an effort
to reach the king row of contentment, il
now in full swing. There is something
about the changeful nature OF April that
infects the human organism with a spirit
of unrest and change Of some sort seems
imperative. When il comes to the point
of upheaval and gradual restoration to
order again, not a few movers are in
hearty sympathy with a weary brother
who once ventured an opinion that
houses should be built like box cars so
that they could be conveniently hauled
around without disturbing the living ar
rangements. Then change OF location
could be made without having the ma
hogany sideboard look as though it had
been rubbed down with a curry comb.
and there would be no broken backed
stretching Of little carpets to cover big
floors or turning under Of big carpets to
fit little floors. So far the moving game
has progressed as follows:-
