MEDLEY GAME is ENLiVENING
Necessary That Every One Should
Have His Wits About Him and
Speak Quickly-Prlzes Given

Choose some one with a good busi
ness head for the auditor In this game
and give him pencil and paper OF
which to write In a vertical column
the names of all the players.
When the paper Is ready the auditor
must indicate some one to open the
game. The one indicated must begin
TO repeat some verse or sentence. Sup
pose she begins to repeat, MARY had
little lamb" as soon as she comes
to word which suggests another
verse or sentence to any one of the
payers, that one must interrupt and
go on with another verse, For ex.
ample, suppose the first player said,
Mary had Il little" then some one
picked her up by saying, little star,
now | wonder what you are" and i'm.
medlately another player says, You
are goose another tacks him up
Win "Goosey, Goosey Gander, where
another says, where is my wan.
deriAg boy" and still another says.
boy blue, come blow" another.
blow, bugles, blow, set the wild
echoes flying" and so on till no one
can think of anything to say, and the
last player finishes up verse or com.
pletes a sentence. Each one who com.
pletes sentence or verse is credited
one point by the auditor, and must
start new verse. Any one may in.
terrupt with new verse as soon as il
occurs to him, but when two start at
nearly the same time the auditor
must decide who has the right of way.
and the auditor must never be dis.
puted. When no one can think of a
new verse to start off with the game
IS ended, and the one who has the |
most points receives a prize, while the |
)ne who has the fewest points re.
,eives the BOBBY prize. Every one
must have his wits about him in this
'ame. and think and speak quickly. 1t
s stiQ more funny If all the PLAYERS
re SINGERS and can sing the medley
instead OF repeating it. In this case
he players might choose sides, each
ide having leader and one side in.
errupt the other. That is, suppose
he leader on one side starts singing.
Mary had little" then some one ON
he other side sings, little STAR" the
est on her side joining in, then the
lternate side interrupts again. Try
his some evening when you want to
e livened up.

House Votes Two Battleships.

Washington, April, BY q decisive
vote of 1862 to 1l0, fourteen being
present and not voting, the House au.
thorized the construction of two bat
tleShips to cost 6 million dollars each.
Thirty-three Democrats voted for two
battleships and twenty-four Republi-
cans against the proposition. This
action was taken just prior to the pas
sage of the Naval Appropriation Bill,
carrying Sl2S, S,037602. This amount
is about 8 million dollars less than
was recommended by the Navy De-
partment. In addition to the battle
ships the bill also provides for the
of two fleet colliers and
four submarine boats.

said her name was Nettie Hayes and

them. Gallup did not support me,
