zest to the ordinary game of "catch."
Two manikins are mounted on a base.
The first manfkin has a batting arm
operated by strong spring and hold.
ing ball in loops on the end. The
second manikin holds over it's arm a
hook. which engages the bat of the
figure ahead and which has at the
other end cord running under the
base board. When this cord is pulled
the batting arm of the forward figure
is released, and the ball sent spinning
from its loops. AS the spring is a
strong one. the ball may be cast
across an ordinary room. where other
persons playing must try to catch it.
The base of this apparatus can be
shifted from side to side to change
the direction of the ball, thus making
the game more interesting and the
ball more difficult to catch. By this
means regular ball game may be
played under the rules which can be
formulated by the players to give
value to such "hits" as are made.

GAME OF TRADES ENTERTAlNS
Two Methods Of Playing Indoors-One
Requires Leader to Invent and
Tell Story.

Each player in this game must
choose trade and pretend to be
working at it. For instance, if he is
a tailor he must pretend to sew or
iron; If blacksmith, to hammer, and
so on. One is the king, and he too
chooses trade. Every one works
away as hard as he can until the king
suddenly gives up his trade and takes
up that of some one else. Then all
must stop. except the one whose bust
ness the king has taken, and he must
start with the kings work. The two
60 on until the king chooses to go
back to his own trade, when all begin
working again. Any one who fails to
cease working or to begin again at the
right time must pay a forfeit.
A somewhat more elaborate and
livelier game of trades is played by
each boy In the party choosing a trade
which he is supposed to be carrying
on.
The leader must invent a story, and,
standing in the middle, must tell it to
the company. He must manage to
bring in number of names of trades
or businesses, and whenever a trade
is mentioned, the person who rep
resents it must instantly name some
article sold In the shop.

of an inn, where board and lodging
cost them 81 week. Even at that,
they were often hard pressed for
ready money, practicing every econ
olny. There can be little doubt that
Mrs. Lincoln had lively, peppery
temper and that her husband suffered
from its effects. 1t is said that their
one servant, in early days, could not
endure the wife's sharp tongue and
was only induced to remain in the
house because Lincoln secretly paid
her double wages. A man who had

'o'"e Lincoln that he
rushed to her husband for satisfaction
was sadly asked by Lincoln:
Cant you endure for a few mo-
ments what I have had as my portion
for Is years?"
The latent brain trouble which later
partially wrecked Mrs. Lincoln's mind
was possibly the real cause of her fits
of rage. They had one good effect:
Lincoln's interest was turned to pub
lie matters and he threw himself more
fully into politics than he might have
done had he had calmer home life.
Yet whenever he was away from
home he kept his wife closely in

fact not only tends to show his devo-
ton to her, but also the keen inter-
est she felt in his progress. When he
received news Of his election to the
presidency his first words were:
There is little woman at our
house who is probably more interest
ed in this dispatch than am. Ill take
it up and let her see it."
Lincoln was seated at his wife's
side in Ford's theater, Washington,
in 1865. when Wilkes Booth assasinat-
; ed him. The shock and grief COM

Truth About Adam and Eve.

That the Biblical story of the fall

Philo, the Jewish philosopher, who
was contemporary with Jesus, and
did not assume, even among the an

article which he contributes to Har-

force and thought of Paul, are weight

in a literal Adam, created in 1904 B.

by the best Jewish thought of 1900

NIGHT TELEGRAPH FOR BOYS

John and Charley are two very
clever boys. even If they are rela-

posite sides of a river, are fast friends
and spend as much time together as
they can. They have a boat of their
own making in which they cross
back and forth. and they have worked
out a system of signals for commu-
nicating across the water.
Thus, II the boat is on Charley's
side of the river and John wants It

swings his hat. spelling out his mes

neither Of us wished to take.
SO we decided to try a lamp signal.
We went to Johns room and waited
until a light appeared in Charley's.
Could we attract his attention?
We set the lamp on the window sill
and began to turn the wick up and
down, making it bright and dark in
the room, at regular, intervals; but
Charley took no notice. At last his
light went out, and John said: mo

room he will be more apt to see our

We did try, but had almost lost hope,

Then by long and short flashes we

We had to repeat it several times

GOOD MANNERS TAUGHT CLASS
st. Paul Teacher Acts on Unique Sug-
gestion Of One Of Her Pupils,
Not Long Here.

Miss Margaret Lennon, principal of
the Mckinley school, agreeing with
Lord Chesterfield that good manners
are to particular societies what good
morals are to society in general
their cement and their security" and
realizing the Importance of the sub
ject, has instituted an innovation in
school instruction by devoting a part
of the time usually spent in the class
room to what the children call good
manners class"
This class includes every member
of the school, which has an average
attendance of between 800 and 1000.
and is held in the assembly room on
the third floor at irregular times and
without notice, says st. Paul Pioneer
Press Here the children are allowed
to ask questions pertaining to good
manners. Each child asks question
and then answers it himself. The rest
Of the pupils listen and make cor
rections.
Miss Lennon lays no claim to the
honor of suggesting the new idea. She
gives all the credit to q 15-year-old
boy named Alfred Darcy. Alfred
was born in Antwerp, Belgium, where
he was educated under private tutors
to speak four languages. He came to
America year and half ago and en-
tered the Mckinley school.
One day he startled his teacher by
rising in class and deploring the Ill
manners of the American children as
compared with the better class In his
native land and by asking why good
manners were not taught in the
schools. Miss Lennon heard of his
remark and Immediately decided to
try his suggestion.
