The neckpiece is Of the same ribbon
arranged in box plaits and finished in

groundwork for important work In the
regular session.
Yet, while there was little partisan
politics of the old variety In the ses-
sion. there was presidential politics IN
almost every move made. Engaged
in this game were three groups, the
Democrats, the progressive Repub'
licans and the administration. 1t IL
too early yet to foretell which one OF
these elements had the best Of It.
That will not be entirely clear until
the regular session has completed It's
work. The one point made clear by
. the extra session is that party lines
as they have existed In the past have
been readJusted, or, rather, are still
in process Of readjustment. To stu.
dents this Is the most important rea.
ture Of the session, and no review OF
its work would be complete without 1t.
OF the bills actually passed Canadian
reciprocity still remains to be ratified
by Canada, the statehood bill will prob
ably result in the admission Of Arizons
and New Mexico in time to take part
in the election next year. the cam
paign publicity bill will inevitably re
suit in less money being spent In con
gressional and senatorial elections, and
the reapportionment bill will make OF
the house body Of 433 members, OF
435 after the admission Of the two new
states. The size of the electoral col
lege and Of the representation to both
national conventions will be CORE
spondingly enlarged. ..

Game of Proverbs.

Proverbs is one of the most popular
games that children play. Here Is the
way to play 1t in case you do not al
ready know how:
One player leaves the room, and
while he is absent the rest fix upon
some proverb. The words of this
proverb are distributed among them,
and each player in reH'v 20 question
asked by the guesser has 10 introduce
his particular word. When all the
words have been introduced the guess
er has to guess the name of the prov
erb.
Here are q few familiar proverbs:
Hear twice before you speak
once"
Half a loaf is better than no
bread"
Good wares make quick markets."
Friends are plenty when purse is
full"
"Cut your coat according to your
cloth"
"a little rain lays much dust"
"Better late than never"
Barking dogs seldom bite"
"a good word costs nothing"
"a good name is better than
wealth"
'All is not gold that glitters."
- "a penny saved is penny gained"
"a friend in need is a friend In.

Good and Bad Handwriting.

A person who mumbles his words
so that it is difficult to understand
him is considered ill-bred and nui-
sance. Why should not one who
writes an Eligible hand be put in the
same category? There is really no
excuse for the awful scrawls which
many otherwise educated people
write. One does not expect OF busy
people writing master style OF
cbirogrdphy, but a legibfe style
should be expected OF every body. II
people realized what annoyance they
often give to those who receive their
meaningless scrawls they would have
one would think-too much cOurte
sy to iaflict such puzzles upon their
friends again. | occasionally receive
a letter from a good friend which is
so badly written that it often con
sumes half an hour to decipher a
page or two of notepaper, and then
perhaps | have to guess at the mean
ing of some of the important words.
She would be ashamed to talk that
way-why should she write SO?
Parents are often much at fault in
this matter. They do not insist
spon their boys and girls learning
to write a plain hand while atschool.
Then is the time to form the useful
habit ot clear chirography. If the
teacher does not insist upon it at
school, the father or mother should
insist upon it at heme. But the
teacher ought to insist upon it, for
it is q very important part OF the
child's education.
There is no difficulty in acquiring
a legible handwriting. 1t need not
be ornamental. The fewer "four-
ishes" there are in the formation OF
the letters the better. All that is de-
sirable is a correct formation of the
letters, SO that it will be clear at
first glance what they stand for.
What distinct articulation in
speech is-and every one recognizes
the importance of that, especially in
a public speaker-the distinct forma-
tiOn of the letters is in handwriting.
Poor writing is n slovenly habit, OF
which those guilty of it should be
heartily ashamed.-Selectel.

The Riflod treasure Chest,

A New Jersey farmer was afraid
that some men who were measuring
off distances on his farm were survey
ors trying to make out that his prop
erty belonged to some one else, and he
ran for the constable. When he got
back the men were gone, but there
was hole in the ground and by the
side Of it the remains of a box. The
farmer was astonished, but after the
people in the village near by thought
it over they decided that there had
been treasure in the box. The farm
had been owned by a man who had
been suspected Of stealing money. He
disappeared and the farm was sold.
1t is supposed at the village grocery
that he had buried the money he had
stolen and afterward returned to dig
it up.

Old Timers Try Their Hand.
chatham Record. !

Several "old-timers" were sitting
on the east side of the courthouse
the other evening discussing odd
things, snake stories and othes curl
osities, when Squire r. NJ. Burns
told about an old farmer of Hickory
Mountain township who once owned
a lot of hogs. He said that the old
farmer became deaf, but before get
ting that way he used to go to the
pasture, in which .as a lot OF dead
trees, and blow q horn and at the
same time rap on dead tree to at
tract the attention OF the hogs.
When he became real deaf the hogs
had learned the rattle on the tree
and would come to be fed. But the
old man died. A day or two after
his death a gentleman passed the
place and saw the hogs running from
tree to tree like something crazy. He
asked the cause of the hogs wild do
ings in the grove. He was told the
story of the old man and his stick,
but since he had died the woodpeck-
ers had taken charge of the dead
trees and the hogs thought it was
the old man beating on the trees.
Then Mr.. J. C. Boon's chicken and
snake story came up for discussion.
"Now, I'll tell you something that
happened in Richmond once" said
Capt. Crump, who was one OF the
party. "Directly after the war ]
was a drummer for a Richmond
grain house. | owned a rooster, q
hen and ten young chicks. was
very fond of them. They were all
the time around the warehouse. The
firm | worked for owned a very large
safe. One evening the chickens
walked into the safe and went to
rOost and they were locked up in it.
That night the house burned down.
Three days afterward the safe was
opened aad the chickens were taken
out stiff frozen. They were rolled
about in the warm ashes and were
finally thawed ont. Later on, when
the chickens became half grown, !
had them killed and fried, and never
ate better chickens"
Then the crowd began to disperse,
one at a time, until the captain was
left alone. 81 thought | could tell
as big lie as the rest of them, he
muttered, and then he left.

for the pearl necklace. The door was
locked, but when she looked for the
necklace it was gone. Hastily opening
the other cases, she discovered all had

taken nothing but the comforts of the
closet. A hurried cali was sent to the
police and today two score of detec-

In place of the natural lenses of the

sight failed and cataracts were found
to be forming over the eyes. These
continued until he was blind.

list. operated upon him. The cataracts
and the lenses of the eyes were re-
moved. Then there was substituted
the glass lenses, which flash to the
brain the picture upon which the eye
rests. Without the glass lenses there
is nothing but a glare of light. The
operation, remarkable as it is. is more
so when it is considered that Doctor
Winslow is II years old. Doctor Win
