The Game of Proverbs.


Proverbs IS n most interesting game
and is played thus:
One player having gone from the
room. proverb is selected by the
Others and one word Of 1t given In
regular order to each person. III the
proverb is too short to go around the
whole company, then begin again at
the first word and proceed around the
room.
The absent player then, being recall
ed proceeds to question the others
singly. and each one must use in his
answer the word Of the proverb he
has previously received.
Suppose the proverb selected to be
Nothing venture. nothing have" The
questions and answers might be like
this:

First Player-Nothing should be too
long for you to guess.

Third Player-Nothing pleases me
more.
"Are you enjoying yourself this
evening"
Fourth Player-I have enjoyed my
self thus far.
If the questioner has not yet guessed
the proverb he continues his questions
until enlightened. when the player
whose answer has given him the clew
goes out of the room and becomes

Feeding Farm Hands.

Every farmers wife knows what tre-
mendous appetites farm hands usually
have; but while they eat we'll they
work we'll, too.
Here's good suggestion about feed
ing farm hands. Give them plenty
OF Quaker Oats. A big dish Of
Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and
cream or milk is the greatest break
fast in the world for a man who needs
vigor and strength for long days
work. The man that eats Quaker Oats
plentifully and often is the man who
does good work without excessive IA
tigue. There is sustaining quality
in Quaker Oats not found in other
foods, and for economy 1t Is at the
head of the list. Besides the regular
size packages Quaker Oats is packed
in large size family packages, with
and without china.

Two Little FIocks.

Five little sheep on hillside grazed
Where the raggedest daisies grew,
And just overhead in sunny spot
Were five little clouds In the blue,
and the five little clouds In the sky
looked down
On the five little sheep below
And called out to them in friendly way:
20 little white flock. hello!
I'VE look alike-we must be alike.
Now. isn't that plain to you?
Come UP with US In the pasture sky
o little white flock. please dor
But the five little sheep on the hill looked
sad
And nibbled the grass instead.
And each one smothered sorrowful
sigh.
Shaking his wise little head.
And they called TO the flock In the sky:
"Oh. no,
Such union would never do.
We must be fed on the greenest grass.
While your meadow grass is blue.
And how would we look when trying to
ny
With hard little feet for wings?
Sheep of the earth and sheep OF the sky
Were made for different things"
And the little white flock In the sky
looked down
On the little white flock below.
And they said TO themselves. How queer
when we
Resemble each other so!''

Rex Beach Tells Of the "Sliver
Horde"


Here II Rex Beach's own description
Of that "Silver Horde" OF Alaska sal
mon that have given their name to this
amazingly successful young authors
latest Harper novel of the cold, CONNER
cial North. Mr.. Beach has q gift OF
graphic speech-it was Mark Twain who
pointed out his power over impromptu
English-and the following Is almost an
exact transcript of description he gave
to friend when the idea Of writing the
book had first taken possession OF him:
1.-THE salmon are up In Alaska IN
droves, and they are the most beautiful
game fish in the world. The cycle OF q
salmon, do you know, is rather tragic
little romance. They have destiny as
sad as any living thing in the sea-ex-
cept mermaid. Every four years they
rush In hordes back to the shore where
they were Matched, pushing up, up the
stream to lay their eggs and die, beating
their own lives out in millions on the
beach. After the vanderbilt, they get
the homing instinct-the smell of the
old shores drags them back, and the
fever of early spring of the fourth year
Is their death.
"They come back thick, quivering
sea of silver, billions of them, and .
horde of men on the banks stand and
wait for the suicides. And all the while
the fishermen's boats have been there
waiting, lying In harbor like a flock OF
birds, They are commonly the p'ctur-
esoue Chinese fleet manned with laboreI q
under a boss, and their ships inclnde
boat-loads of tin, several barges OF ma
chinery, and great pack of nets-just a
complete canning establishment from
the fish to the labsl. .
"All of a sudden one day the cry will
20 up, Here comes the salmon! and
The fish will run seething up, providing,
fighting to die, so thick that the men
kill them easily with stones. They keep
this thing up night and day for a short
space of weeks-the season is less than
month-and at the end everybody drops
down just about ready to join lots with
the fishes. AS for the salmon trout,
they are so plentiful that the laborers
can't begin to dispose of them, and mil
lions of them die every year.
"a future lies in the financing OF those
fisheries. There's great big romance
there, too, and l want to land it. I'm
going to try" Mr.. Beach did try, and
1.-THE Silver Horde" is the result.
