Marble Games.

free from stones, is chosen for the
spot. The first player lays his marble
on the ground, and the second throws
his own at 1t with all his force, and
endeavors to break it. II he succeeds,
his marble counts one, and the van
pushed player lays down another
marble. If two players have marbles
that have already vanquished others,
the "Conqueror" counts all the con-
quered Of the other party in addition
to his own. For example, suppose A.,
being the conqueror of twenty, breaks
B, also a conqueror of twenty. A
counts forty-one; 1. e., twenty of his
own, twenty for the vanquished be-
longing to B, and one for B itself.
Nuts, chestnuts and other similar
objects are also employed in this
game, only they are fastened to a
string, and swung against the oppo-
nent, instead Of being thrown.

made to him by a barber while the

about who would be among congress

why don't you run, Doc?" asked
the barber, as he calcimined the back

several boys who each put down a
marble in a small ring. One player
then stands in perpendicular position
over the cluster of marbles, and, TAX

those forced out Of the ring by this

FEW POPULAR SUGGESTIONS
Many Little Things That Betoken
Good or Bad Undertaking Up
stairs Is Sign Of Wedding.

1t Is said that If black cat follows
you it betokens good luck, but if cat
leaves the house which has been it's
home some misfortune is about to
happen.
If you put on your stocking or sock
the wrong side out it is lucky, but if
you change it to the right side moth
ing will come of it.
If, when unfolding clean linen, you
find a diamond-shaped crease, this Is
a sign of death within year.
Never let child look into a mir
ror till it is a twelve-month old, or Ill
luck will follow it through life
If you cannot get fire to burn, your
sweet heart is in bad temper.
To stumble on going upstairs is a
sure sign of a wedding; two spoons in
one saucer the same.
If you cut baby's nails instead of
biting them, it will be light-fngered.
To open an umbrella in a house is
a portent of misfortune; to drop one,
a disappointment; but If anyone else
picks 1t up the disappointment passes
on to him or her.
If a piece of cotton gets into a girls
hair it is sure sign of letter; but
the cotton must not be removed by a
stranger, or no letter will come.

He was so fine and small

To say he was, at all

He stepped as If he thought;
His tiny sails Of white and blue,
OF sheerest fancy wrought.
He raised and famed. and famed again,
And still he would not go
The common air was all too rough
To trust his shallop to.
Back to his rose I bore him then;
He launched without delay,
And on the breathing of the rose

Soon after he had completed this pre-

With lightning speed, and before he
could save himself, the tangled wires

flash Of light and Slovecek fell 10 the
floor, dead. The brush Of the broom was
