SIT N SET.

Two little words have been a
source of great modification and trou-
BILE to many well-meaning persons.
A man, or woman either. can set a
hen, although they. cannot sit her: nei-
ther can they set on her, although
the hen might sit on them by the
hour, II they would allow it.
A man canno set On the wash-bench
but H. could set a basin on it, and
neither the basin nor the grammarians
would object.
He could sit on a dogs tail, If the
dog were willing. or he might set his
foot on it. But If he should set on the
aforesaid tail, or sit HIS foot there, the
grammarians as well as the dog would
howl-metaphorically at least.
And yet the man might set the tail
aside and sit down, and be assailed
neither by the dog nor by the gramma-
rians.

|THIS is one of the jolliest i'm
promptu games that we know
of. We mean by impromptu
that 1t requires no preparation what
ever, but may be played by a roomful
of boys and girls the moment 1t is sug-
gested. And it Is brimful of fun from
start to finish.
Any number of players may take
part in it. They first select a leader,
who should be a bright, alert, quick
witted boy who is capable of preserv-
ing his self-possession while fun and
laughter are going on all around him.
The players seat themselves in a cir
Gle and the leader takes his place in
the centre. He holds In his hand a
white handkerchief, which he has
knotted SO as to make it partly solid.
When everything is ready the leader
losses the handkerchief up in the air
and then every player must begin
laughing. But they must all stop
laughing by the time the Handkerchief
reaches the floor, and II anyone does
not stop and the leader catches him
either laughing or smiling he imposes a
| forfeit or a fine.
Or instead of making the detected
laughter pay a forfeit he may be re-
quired to drop oat of the circle. If
played in this way the players, drop
out one after another until only one is
left, and that one wins the prize.

that the boy should leave and rather
than have him face the world alone,

Where they went is unknown, even

present Furnishing condition of af-

On Account of Letters From

Farmer.
