RAINY DAY GAMES

often during long rainy days the
children of the family become restless
for want of something to do. They
long to get out OF doors to engage
in games. And even their story books
grow dull and they fling them aside
with: "Oh, how dreary indoors, where
one can not play games"
Now there are hundreds OF house
games, some very entertaining and
others less so. But from the long list
handed down from generation to gen
eration-the restless little ones should
find some to their liking. There is
one game that children never tire OF.
1T is Blind Mans Buff" Another is

To a fourth: Describe the leaves that

questions as may suggest themselves.
Then after all the words have been

Motion Pictures in Germany

Moving picture machines have not
taken very great hold on Germany,
that is, the American moving pictures
Comparatively few. motion pictures of
American origin are shown in Ham
burg. The German public seems to
prefer travel pictures and those hav-
ing quieter action to the exciting in
cidents of American life commonly
submitted. The moving picture shows
In Hamburg are not managed by
Americans
The usual admission price to the
shows OF this variety is one mark.
Tickets are stamped with the hour OF
arrival and between series notices are
displayed on the canvas that at a GER
tain time tickets have expired and that
supplementary tickets can be pur-
chased of the ushers without going
outside.
The ushers pass among the audience
and see that persons holding expired
tickets do not remain for the next per-
formance. The same picture is never
repeated in an evening. and the usual
length Of one admission is about two
hours. Small orchestras furnish the
music and smoking in the theaters is
prohibited in the first class places.

Proudly she lays down a dollar,

a red and a brown stamp are being
added to her store there is an inter.

bank encourages promptness as well
as thrift
Next comes Louis Ferman, in a
sketchy costume of cotton underwaist

shoulders scarcely reach above the
table, but he doesn't know how young
he is. He deposits S cents and gets
a green stamp in a book half full of
yellow penny ones. He doesn't know
what he is saving his money for. but
agrees. in view of the coldness of the
weather, that coat might be de-

are. In my estimation, the best in the
county. and the team would line up as
follows:
Kennedy, Hammond. left guard. AL

This man stands head and shoulders
above any OF the other Lake county
players. and although he also is cen

years in the guard position, and ac-
count of his speed, aggressiveness and
knowledge OF the art Of blocking an
opponent. he would Ike a fit mate for
Kennedy, and with these two star men
at guards the Lake county team need
not worry about being scored on.

MORAN BEW|[DERS
BALDWIN BY SPEED
British Boxer Floors Foe for
Count Of Seven and Wins
Ten Round Bout.

New York, April 6-Owen Moran,
Englands prize featherweight, took
Matty Baldwin, the veteran Boston as
pirant to the lightweight championship,
over the jumps for ten rounds at the
Fairmont Athletic club last night and
trimmed him all the way. The only
credit of the Briton. In the fourth
round he shot a lightning right upper
cut across that caught Baldwin off his
guard, and the Bostonian was foored
for count of seven Toward the close
OF the round Moran started a flow of
claret from Baldwin's nose and mouth.
Moran worked his left jab overtime,
and 1t stung his opponent He sent
Baldwins head back repeatedly with
the blow. Oftimes Moran changed his
attack and played for the body land
ing several good rights over the heart.
Baldwin made his best showing in
the eighth round, when he chased the
little Britisher around the ring, fay
ing the body with lefts. A hard swing
to the jaw nearly toppled Moran over
near the end of the round.
Moran displayed the same cleverness
that earned him a draw against Abe
Attell. the phenomenal speed mer-
chant, last week. The Briton was on
the alert every instant and his lodging
was a pretty thing to watch. He would
let Baldwin force him into neutral
corner and would duck every time the
Bostonian tried to land Baldwin miss
ed dozens of times, while but few blows
started by Moran went astray.
