handkerchief, races to the opposite end
Of the ground, touches the fence with
the flag and runs back, handing the

Of the line. No. 2 starts Immediately

race. Those at the head of the line,
whose turn it is to run next. must
stand with the toe on the line, but not
beyond it. They cannot advance to

The Game of Maoic Ladder.

Standing in a ring, the children be-
gin counting, as follows:
The leader says, "One ! see; the
next player says, 1.-TWO see and SO
on in turn till the number seven is
reached. The seventh player, instead
of pronouncing the magic number by
saying. 'Seyen ! see" says, Il 50 UP

the circle on the outside The neNt
player continues. Eight | sees" tho
next, mine | see" and so on up to the
next multiple of seven. The first run
ner tries to get around to his place be.
fore fourteen" is reached, If not SUE
cessful the runner is out Of the count
ing part Of the game and, though re-
naming in the circle, must turn and
stand facing outside.
When fourteen" is reached, this be-
ing twice seven, the player, instead of
saying Fourteen | see" says, II so up
two rounds" and starts TO run around
the circle before "twenty-one," the sig
nal for going up three rounds" is
reached.
Each player, having multiple of
seven, speaks accordingly and runs
once around the circle, but those who
should be runners sometimes fail to
quickly recognize the fact, in which
case they must turn around and for
felt their count for the rest Of the
game. The game thus goes on till
only one, the winner, is left facing in
toward the center.

STORM SEWER COMPLETED
Cost of Improvement Is $I,434; Is a
Fine Piece of Work.
From FRIDAYS DaiIv

From Fridays Daily.
The storm sewer on Mulberry street
was completed this morning. except the
relaymg of the pavement that was
torn up. The sewer is 500 feet long
and four feet in diameter, inside
measurement, and is of reinforced con-
crete. IheA cost of the sewer was
81 ,434, which is So less than the esti-
mate of City Engineer Wilson. The
cost of S2.S7 a foot is considered very
reasonable. considering the size of the
sewer and its splendid construction.
1t is by far the best sewer in the
city. and will last for all time.
The reinforced concrete sewer has
cost less than stone one of the same
size would have cost, and but few
cents foot more than cement sewer
of half the size that was laid in this
city some years ago. In st. Louis,
the cost of brick sewers of this size
the past three years has averaged
$3.50 Il foot, even when machine
was used. I'm laying the
Mulberry street sewer extra expense
was incurred by having to take out
the old stone sewer, that had out
lived its usefulness and was much too
small. The work was all done by
hand. City Engineer Wilson is de.
serving of credit for the work.
