Presidents Explanation.

shington.-President Taft Thurs
day night gave out statement en-
bodying his views of the new tariff
act. He supported it as a sincere et-
fort for downward revision. In this
statement he says: 81 have signed the
Payne tariff bill because I believe it
to be the result of sincere effort on
the part of the Republican party to
make a downward revision and to
comply with the promises of the plat
form as they have been generally un-
derstood. and as | interpreted them
in the campaign.
There have been great number
of real decreases in rates and they
constitute sufficient amount to JUS
tify the statement that this bill is a
substantial downward revision and a
reduction of excessive rates.
This is not a free trade BILL it was
not intended to be. The nepublican
party did not promise to make free
trade bil."

Contradictory Proverbs.

The first player gives Il well known
proverb The next must quote one of
as nearly an opposite meaning as pos
sible.
AS an illustration. "Out of sight out
of mind" quickly Offset by the equally
familiar saying, absence makes the
heart grow fonder."
A list of these seemingly contradic-
tory proverbs might be written upon
folded cards and one given to each
player, who must write upon the OPP
posite page the proverb that contra
diets the one given.
Here is list of some Of them: "A
stitch in time saves nine" "A tear is
an accident; darn is premedltated
poverty"
"a rolling stone gathers no moss"
ar at first you don't succeed. try, try
again"
Beauty unadorned Is adorned the

Fox and Geese.

One of the party. called the fox in
this game, goes to one end of the room,
and the rest of the children arrange
themselves in ring, one behind the
other, the tallest first and the smallest
last. The first one is called Mother
Goose. The game begins by con-
versation between the fox and Mother
Goose. what are you after this morn
ingr" says she. Taking walk" the
fox answers. what for?" ITO get
an appetite for breakfast" what will
you have for breakfastw "a nice fat
goose" 'Where will you get It."
"Well, as your geese are so handy I
will take one of them" Catch one IL
you can"
Mother Goose then stretches out her
arms to protect her geese and not let
the fox catch one. The fox tries to
dodge under, right and left, until he is
able to catch the last Of the string.
OF course the brood must try to keep
out of reach of the fox. As the geese
are caught they must go over to the
den Of the fox, and the game continues
until all are caught.
