The talk had gone back and fro, and
the youthful socialist had been an

living by cheating, and we all listened

the truth, but tried to make their liv-

landowners, financiers, we sacrificed

FIX HOLIDAY GAMES AHEAD
Many Interesting and Amusing Pas
times Known but Not Always
Thought of at Time.

We all know many games to play,
but the trouble is to think of them at
the right minute. If you are going to
give candy pull or cobweb party
in the holidays. it Is well to have a
good many games thought up before
hand, alternating the romping games
with the quieter ones, in a little pro-
gram, so that there may be no awk-
ward pauses.
Have you ever been to a Swap"
party? Each one is supplied with
four or five little bundles. wrapped
so that no one else can suspect the
contents. The bundles may contain
anything, from a tinsel ball to a sun
bonnet Each one praises up his own
property without telling what 1t is,
and the swapping Is carried on with
great show OF bargaining. When
every one has swapped, the parcels
are opened. and the one who has
made the poorest swaps must tell
story, or suggest q game, or in some
way entertain the company. After
this come other games, with applies
and nuts for refreshments

cAMELS THRIVE IN ARIZONA
Circus Animals Run Wild on Western
Desert-sroueht Over to Make
Caravan Path.

Camels live in the African deserts
and in circus tents and-where else?
Where but in Arizona, a rather out-of-
the-Way place. as far as most persons
are concerned, but nevertheless a part
OF the United States. There are about
sixty OF the circus beasts running
wild, 1t is said. and they keep pretty
well out of the way of mankind. That
Is not hard to do. There are great
plains in Arizona where men NAV
tramp or ride for days without find
Ing water. 1t is desert place, with
no growing thing but hard, dry shrubs
that keep the earth from blowing into
mountains.
Sixty years ago herd of Is camels
was brought to Arizona The United
states government brought them here
from Egypt to make a caravan path
across the desert This was before
the time OF railroads The camels
were good enough on the plains, but
as soon as they struck the rising
ground they were of no value Rough
travel made their feet sore. Finally
they were all turned loose and forgot
ten. Nobody except a few frightened
Indians ever saw them, and they lived
quietly in the desert. Probably most
OF the original herd are dead now, but
their children are left in plenty AS
long as the camels stay in the desert
and do not come to inhabited regions
where there are horses to frighten,
there is no reason why they should
not live undisturbed.

tanned as souvenirs.
A Neek-rie and Apron Party.

This really is an old time stunt, but
like many other old things has been
rejuvenated. The hostess prepares as
many cheese cloth aprons as there are
men and as many pieces of silk or rib
bon as there are girls. When all arrive
the men are given spools Of thread
and told to find the girl who has an
apron to match 1t. In this way part
ners are chosen and the girls put on
the aprons after the men have sewed
the hens and sewed on the strings.
Allow half or three-quarters of an
hour for this. Next the girls are CIV
en- the necktie pieces and they are
gathered together and put through a
door, each girl having hold of an end,
the door is closed and the men are
to come in and take hold of an end.
When each man has an end, the door
is opened and the girl who has hold
of the other end must fashion a neck
tie for her swain. The latter puts it
on and the girl puts on her apron, and
thus partners are selected for supper
or refreshments. This Is very jolly
party, adapted to private parties or
for church social.

AN EASILY CONQUERED DISEASE.

When cholera was last in Europe,
nothing very definite had been learned
as to its real nature. It was still re-
garded as a contagious disease, which
was-and Of any disease still is-the
same thing as confessing ignorance az
70 how its infection passes from the
sick to the well. and against 1t there
could be used only general measures
OF sanitation and isolation. Even
these were enough to keep the raw
ages OF the epidemic, except in few
special centers Of filth and ignorance,
within limits small indeed in compari-
son with the dreadful mortality that
used to follow the appearance Of
cholera anywhere. Now the malady Is
among those most thoroughly under
stood. and though not much progress
has been made as to the curing Of vic
tins once stricken, the infection agent
and the avenues Of infection have
been found, and the latter can all be
be easily and effectively closed to any
body who knows and will use a few
simple measures of prevention, says
the New York Times. He who eats
and drinks nothing that has not been
subjected for some time, at least, to
the heat at which water boils-and
nothing that has been contaminated
between consumption and the applica-
tion OF the heat-will not have the
cholera. even though people are dying
Of 1t all around him.

A chrxsanthemum Luncheon.

Judging from the numerous letters
from brides-elect, Cupid must. have
been unusually busy with his little
bow and arrow. There are 80 many
requests for pre-nuptial functions,
am sure the description Of this chry-
santhemum luncheon will be very ac-
ceptable.
1t was gorgeously brilliant, the color
scheme being yellow; especially fitting
for this month as November claims
the topaz and the chrysanthemum: in
this instance 1t was also the brides
birthday month as well as her wed
ding day season. For a centerpiece
there was mound Of yellow NUNS"
kept In place by embedding the stems
In sand. AT each place there was a
little yellow jardiniere containing one
stin, straight little yellow mum" to
which the name card was attached
with yellow ribbon. The grape fruit
cocktail had wee mum" In the cen
ter OF the fruit; around the stem of
the glass there was a fluffy bow of
white tulle. The plates on which the
frappe glasses stood had a wreath of
yellow NUNS around them and the
ice-cream was in boxes concealed by
petals of yellow crepe paper NUNS"
The candle sticks were of silver and
had yellow shades. At each place
were yellow slippers filled with salted
nuts. Just the bridal party were in

The octopus is a creature of more
or less dreadful reputation. And now
gentleman who modestly describes
himself as "a genius and an inventor"
comes forward In a letter to Major
General Wood, chief OF staff of the
army, proposing to put the octopus
idea into effect as a method Of destroy
Ing an enemy's warships. He says he
can construct a diving boat with
wings or extensions on the octopus
principle. In battle the boat would
dive under an opposing vessel, come
up underneath. wrap the wings around
the craft, octopus fashion, and then
sink again. carrying down the ship and
drowning all hands 1t seems delight
fully, not to say tragically, simple.
But the probability is that the scheme
is much more likely to go up than
the invention is to take warships
down.

A Box Shower.

A jolly crowd wishing to shower"
one OF their number who was about
to leave the state of single blessed
ness, conceived the bright idea of CIV
ing a box shower. The boys were in
on 1t too, and they had loads of fun.
All the gifts were in boxes, which in
turn were put in a huge dry goods box
covered with white paper cambric on
which hearts Of red, large and small
were pasted. When all had arrived,
the bell rang and the village express
man appeared and said he had a small
parcel for Miss B. and imagine the
surprise when he entered with the as
sistance Of several of the masculine
guests bearing the immense box. The
honored couple were told they could
unpack, but each package was to be
SHOWN, the card read and speech made
before the next box was opened.
Among the articles were boxes of
paper, box OF matches, box of tacks.
box OF soap, Of thread, of pins, work
box, glove and handkerchief box.
stamp box, tool box and a nest of
boxes ending with a wee ptll box
which contained a collar button: box
OF tin kitchen utensils, box of paper
napkins. box Of labels, etc. When It
came to serving refreshments the hos
tess had a dainty luncheon put up in
pasteboard boxes covered with rose
wall paper, a box for each couple, cof-
Zee and Ice cream completed the re-
past. There were salted almonds a1d
bon-bons In pretty heart shaped boxes
