 has held some minor offices and dis

As the pretty colored shot was pro- jected toward the center of the room, the boys and girls endeavored to catch 1t. As soon as any player had caught one ball he or she withdrew from the field, retaining. of course, what was caught When the red, white and blue tissue paper coverings. were stripped from the shot, it was found to consist of delicious balls of popcorn or ribbon candy, which were promptly enjoyed.
 Those who failed to catch a cannon ball were afforded a chance to distln- guis11 themselves and incidentally to win prize in the game of the Thirteen Original States.
 For this little cards were distributed having pencils attached with tri-colored ribbons, and the numbers from 1 to 13 inclusive written down the left-hand margin. The young folks drew up their chairs i'll a semi-circle, facing the map. which had formed Exhibit 3. Each boy and girl was now called on to identify the States by writing their names, as these were supposed to be opposite the numbers on the cards, for identification

 It is said that the sex, as a body, is opposed to the granting of the franchise: Associations of women have been formed believe female suffrage would be an in jury to them; that. their welfare is pro- noted by making the home more secure and more fully under their control, rather than by participation in public life: Beyond the open, direct opposition. of these associations, is a general indiffer- ence. of a large majority of the sex. They do not seem to care for it; they look upon the effort to obtain it as mere political c1atter, adding that where it has been granted it is treated as only toy.
