GAME OF BEAN BAG.

Two captains are chosen, who Sc
lect an equal number of players for
their sides. The sides stand so that
they are in two lines facing each
other. Each captain stands on the
right-hand end of his line. By this
arrangement the captains are then
diagonally opposite. Each captain
throws bean bag to the player oppo
site. These players throw the bags
across to the players second in line.
These second players throw the ball
back to the opposite side, but to the
players next to those who had the
bags last. This plan is continued
down both lines, so that every one
has turn to throw and to catch each
bag. The bags return in the same
way Playing with the two bags
makes the game very interesting, es-
pccially since the bags cross in about
the middle of the line. When player
misses a catch or throws to the wrong
person he must join the line at the
other side. After each bag has been
up and down the line twice the game
is ended The side having the most
players wins the game. To keep
score, count the players on each side
at the close of the game. If one side
has six players and the other side
eight the score is six to eight. When
the players on one side are fewer
than those of the other, the end

served in both the battles of PalO
Alto and Resaca de la Paine. He re-
maincd in the army until 1854, when
he resigned his commission and con-
ti&ued i'll private life until the begin
ming of the Civil War. During these
years he tried farming, storekeeping
and selling real estate, but did not
have much success. In 1861 he re-
ceiyed q commission as colonel of an
Illinois regiment, and by his eXtraOr-
dinary military skill and ability rose
to the rank of Acknowledgement
CISCO, in command of the Union ar
mics. His brilliant strategy at Nicks-
burg and Chattanooga in 1868 and
his advance upon Richmond in 1861
50, proved him to be one of the
greatest military leaders of all time.
AS President he showed he was as
great statesman as he was a sol
der. He suppressed with a strong
hand the organized commission of
the whisky ring. He first struck a
shattering blow at the spOils system
with a reform of the Civil Service.

HOME OF THE SHETLAND PONY.

HOME OF THE SHETLAND PONY.
Just off the coast of Scotland there
is a group of islands called the Shet-
land Islands. On one of this group
of ShetlandS the men are so large
they are almost giants, for they are
tall, strong and broad shouldered.
Their wives and children, too. are fine
loo oking and intelligent. Only twenty
five miles away from this island OF
Fetlar is one called Muckle Roe.
There the men are small, lll-shapen,
honely, and, in fact, look almost like
queer little dwarfs. These people
are SO very loyal to each other that
thew do not like to welcome any OF
their neighbOring islanders to live IN
Muckle Roe For this reason these
queer people make very little pro-
gress. When the people of Shetland
Islands reach the age of twenty they
feel rather sure of a long life, for over
half of the population live to be sew
entv wears old and many of the people
lead vigorous out-of-door lives until
they are past eighty years of age.
The Shetland ponies are known the
world over. They are shaggy little
animals weighing only about one
hundred pounds, but they are very
hardy, sure footed and sensible.
Their coats are usually some shade
of brown, though some are of such
q rich black that they are considered
very beautiful. For this reason the
black ponies are the most valuable.
The sheep of Shetland are small, haV-
ing short tails and short horns. Some

which operates without the use OF a

The detector consists OF glass cup

electrode, while the other electrode
is of the usual type, namely line

acid is used for the electrolyte. The

4 BIG DEMOCRATIC VICTORY

Tuesday an election was held in
the 32nd congressional district of
New York comprising, . Monroe
county, to elect a congressman to
fill the vacancy, caused by the death
of James Beck Perkins a few weeks
ago. In 1908, Perkins carried the
district by 10, 1877 majority over his
democratic opponent. Tuesday
James S. Ravens, democrat, turned
this majority into a democratic
majority of $500.
The dispatches say that Aldridge
the republican candidate, had the
support of one of the strongest
political organizations in the state,
and yet 10000 republicans voters in
the district turned him down.
Ravens advocated tariff reform in
the interest of the consumer, while
Aldridge stood pat on the Aldrich-
Payne-Taft tariff law.
The victory of the democratic
candidate is on a par with that won
by Eugene N. Foss in the 14th
Massachusetts, district a few weeks
ago. AS the campaign in both
districts was made on the tariff issue,
the result shows that the sentiment
of the country is strongly against
"the best tariff law ever passed by
congress-, as President Taft called
it.
If the same sentiment exists
throughout the country next fall,
there will not be enough republicans
in the next house of representatives
to hold a caucus.
