DICKEYs PLANS.

The plan submitted by c. w. Dickey
formerly Of Honolulu but now of San
Francisco, for the new Federal build
ing in this city has arrived here and
has been placed on exhibition in the
windows of r. O. Hall & Son. The
building described by the plan would
be quite attractive and has the ap-
pearance Of being suited to the tro-
pics. The New morll plan, which
was adopted, must certainly be an
excellent one to excel the scheme adj
vanced by Mr.. Dickey.

WILLETT AND GRAY
5 ON SUGAR MARKET

Willett e Gray's journal of April
came to hand in the Wilhelmina's
mail this morning. A remarkable
feature is the prediction in the open
ing paragraph that sugar would re-
main at 96-"for few weeks more, Sc
when, as a matter of fact, it has
since dropped a couple of times The
remarks on raws are as follows:
TRANSPORTATION for the week
remain at 4 36c for centrifugals, as
has been the price since March 9th
and is likely to remain for few
weeks more as indicated in our issue
of March 18th. Our retiners have
been able to increase their' supplies
of April sugars without bidding the
market beyond SC c. & f. For later
May shipments they have begun 10
secure supplies at Lice. c. e f. and
will no doubt get all they require for
the present of that month shipment
on the same terms. European oper-
ators took some Cuba Centrifugals
early in the week at &c. f. o. b., but
later left the market to our refiners
The total amount of Cuba sugars thus
far sold for shipment to Europe is
estimated at 10000 tons.

ALPHABE

From a box of anagram letters twen-
ty are dealt to each player and are
turned face downward on the table be-
fore him. Beginning at the left of the
dealer, the first player turns up let
ter so that all can see it and calls for
a quotation from some familiar poem,
or an epigrammatic saying from some
we'll known author-or even a proVerb
but whatever it may be the first word
must begin with the letter turned. AS
soon as the letter is exposed the per-
son appointed to be timekeeper either
slowly counts thirty aloud or keeps his
eyes on his watch, calling out Time"
when the half-minute has passed If
in the interval no one has answered,
the drawer of the letter may then give
q quotation himself and retain the let
ter: or, if all fail to respond, it is laid
aside, to be given to the one who next
wins a letter. If some one makes
quotation that is unfamiliar to all pres
ent he may be challenged to give the
author. If unable to do this, the let
ter is thrown out. The same quotation
may not be given twice.
When X or is turned it may be
added to the winnings of the one who
drew it, without requiring him to give
a quotation.
The present generation is not so well
versed in poetry as the preceding one,
SO perhaps this is one of the games in
which the elders may find entertain
ment,

"cLoTHESPINS"

Another amusing game may be played
by the same company. Divide the
players into two sides and arrange
them in two lines facing each other.
At each end of both lines place chain.
On the opposite chairs at one end OF the
line place an equal number of bundles
of clothespns tied loosely together with
strings. That Is, tie together before
hand four or FIVE clnthespins. and have
ten or twelve such bundles. Divide the
bundles equally between the chairs at
the end of the line; that is to say, place
one-half of the bundles on each of the
two chairs. Having selected an umpire
OF settle all disputes, at a signal from
him, the players nearest the chairs pick
up bundle and pass it from the hand
nearest the chair into the other hand,
and then to the next players hand,
who passes it in the same way, and as
quickly as possible, until it reaches the
player next to the chair at the other
end of the line, who then places it in
the chair.
In the meantime, the player nearest
the chair on which the bundles lie has
no sooner passed the first bundle than
he takes up another, and so all the
bundles are passed as rapidly as pos
sble until they have been placed on
the chairs at the other end of the line.
The side that passes its bundles first
wins, the umpire deciding. Clothespins
So tied are awkward to handle, and are
quite likely to be dropped while passing
down the line. The side whose player
drops a bundle, or any of the pins out
of a bundle, loses without finishing the
game.
The game may be played with soft
rubber balls, or with bean bags, or with
a variety of articles on each SIDE but
the articles on the two sides must be
duplicates. For instance, each side may
have a book, box, a ball, paper
weight, a hat brush, an old glove
stuffed with paper, or any other articles
readily obtainable. The variety of form
in the articles makes them harder to
handle in passing down the line, and
more likely to be dropped, which adds
to the interest of the game. TO raise
laugh a better game cannot be found
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-19
BACHELOR GIRL

In this day of the bachelor girl a
very amusing game may be played
with her as the theme. Any num-
ber of players sit in row or around
a table, and one known as the ques-
toner asks each In turn what he or
she will contribute to help furnish the
bachelor girls den. When each has
named an article, which may range
from a cooking utensil to fine paint
ing, the questioner begins again with
the first player to his right and asks
all sorts of questions, to each of which
the player must give as an answer the
name of the article that he or she mad
offered to contribute to the den.
If any player laughs while being
questioned, or gives any answer but
the name of the article he has offered,
he must pay forfeit. In such a
case. the questioner begins his attack
on the next player in order, and con-
tinues his questions until he is as
sured that the player will not laugh
or give any but the right answer.

fed out Breakfast followed. After a
short rest the troughs were cleared,
corn fed and the aisles swept. lnspec-
ton began at 10:30 and the captain,
purser and doctor passed en- tour of
ropes. Then a third of the hay was
the vessel looking into every nook
and Granny. Work finished at noon,
after which there was respite until
8, when more hay was given and again
at 7. We were usually ready for bed
at 9. although few times we re-
mained up until 10.
The cattlemen had the entire run of
the great broad open steerage deck
aft and the portion of the bow forward
assigned to the crew. Here we met
many of the cabin passengers and had
Jolly good times and talks with them.
on the quiet several cf the higher Of
ficers had pleasant words for us. To
our amusement the menials took de-
light in making things as unpleasant
as possible when opportunity offered.
The voyage was delightful. We had
only one stormy day and every port
and door was open the entire trip. No
one, had they not been told, would
have known there was an animal on
board Our foremen were two of the
finest who ever trod a deck. They did
everything they could to make life
pleasant for us, and we knew to offer
them money would be an insult. so g.

WHISPERS

This game is easily described. Each
person whispers to his neighbor on
the right the name of some person,
either of one we'll known in public
life, or of someone present in the COM
pany. To the neighbor on the left
he whispers a motto or quotations or
a proverb. Any sentiment he hap
pens to think of.
When this has gone all around the
circle each in turn repeats aloud the
name and then the motto which has
been given him.
Here are a few specimens of what
may happen:
Count Tolstoi-"My little body is
aweary of this great world"
Theodore Roosevelt-"His bark Is
worse than his bite"
Speaker Cannon-"Divinely tall and
most divinely fair"
John Smith-"He cometh not she

REPRESENTATION ILLUSTRATED

At recent religious meeting in this
city an incident was narrated by one
of the preachers to illustrate the doe
trine of pfedestination. He was de-
scribing life at frontier missionary
station about fifty years ago, and said
it was always the custom of the good
Presbyterian deacon to take his rifle
along with him to church. One Sunday
morning, as he started to take it from
the closet, his wife remarked: What's
the use of doing that, John? If we are
predestined to be killed you're taking
the rifle won't stop it," The deacon
meditated a moment and then slowly
put it on his shoulder, saying: well,
Mary, hat may be true, but perhaps
as | go along 1 might run across an
Indian who was predestined to be
shot This argument was too much
for his wife and for the preachers, who
laughed heartily at the story.-Phila-
delphia Record.

coDDEM

The players divide themselves into
sides and a captain is chosen for each
side. One side has a coin. The side
in possession of it all place their
hands beneath the table, and at the
call. up Jenkins!" simultaneously
place their hands upon the table,
palms down. The opposing side now
has to guess which hand (of the array
of hands on the table, covers the coin.
If it guesses correctly it takes pos
session of the coin, and the other side
becomes the guessing one. If, how
ever, it fails to spot the coin, the
latter remains with the side already
in possession of it, which then scores
one. One of the difficulties of the
game is not to betray by the express
sion of the face the fact that you
hold the coin.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-19
THE SECRETARY

This is a variation on the old game
of consequences, but it is more personal
and therefore more interesting.
The players may be seated around
a table, provided with pencils and pa
per and directed by the leader or secre-
tary, as he is called, to each one write
his or her own name at the top of the
sheet and fold it over SO as to con-
ceal it.
The secretary then collects the papers
and redistributes them with the order
to write a character" The players
set to work to write good or bad or
they may take any one of their COM
panions as a model. The more eXtraY-
agant the details the more fun.
Again the papers are taken up and
distributed. all being changed around,
and the writer's are told to describe
the past life of the unknown person
whose name is hidden at the top of the
page. Then follows the order to de-
scribe the persons present, future, fate
or fortune-or any particulars the sec
retary may think to ask for. AT last
the papers are collected and read aloud,
and great is the amusement as each
one present is described.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-19
"cUTTING"

A game of cutting always finds
favor with boys and girls. Provide
each person with an old magazine,
pair of scissors, a small cup of home
made paste and brush made by fold
ing piece of paper many times and
then finely slashing one end. Besides
these things give to each player several
sheets of plain paper a little larger
than a magazine page. Each person
is to cut out any picture or parts of
pictures he chooses and mount them on
the plain paper to make new pictures.
After half an hour all of the pictures
should be placed where they may be
seen. Simple prizes should be given to
those making the prettiest, the most
comical or the most original sheets.

A JAPANESE CARD GAME

A game popular with both grown
people and children in Japan is played
as follows:
One hundred well known proverbs
are selected, each divided into two
parts, each part printed on separate
card The host has the hundred first
halves which he reads aloud, one by
one. The hundred second halves are
dealt to the other players, who place
their hands upward upon the "Tatami,"
or thick mat of rich straw on which
they sit AS the first half of any
proverb is read the holder of the Sec
ond half throws it out, or, if he sees
it unnoticed among his neighbors,
seizes it and gives him one on ms own.
THE player who is first "out" wins.
1t is a very simple game, but it affords
a great deal of amusement to the play
ers, for the quick-sighted and keen
witted are constantly seizing the cards
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-19

by naming some article that might
find place in a kitchen, but no two
may be alike.
The questioner then begins with the
first and asks him all sorts of ques-
tions, which he must answer by re-
peating the name of the article he
has given. If, for example, one has
given a dishpan, the questioner says,
"What did you wash your face in
this morning?" "a dishpan." From
what did you eat your breakfast?"
"a dishpan," etc The object is to
make the player laugh, which subjects
him to a forfeit or any penalty pre-
Viously arranged.

The daffodil and lilies
Were there in gorgeous clothes!

And never roamed in freedom

In groups the flowers gather.
Their clothes the worse for wear
All hot and tired and thirsty
For drinks of fresher air!

With room for every flower
That happens in by chance!
