boys chose partners and were ranged
in two lines from the dining room to
the parlor. At the end of each line
was a table; one held big basket OF
peanuts, beside the other stood the
umpire, with her pencil and paper. On
it was a wooden bowl and two plates.
When the umpire called girls name
she and her partner walked down the
center to the farther table. Covering
the back of their hands with all the
peanuts they could hold, they carried
them to the other table, where they
were counted. 1t sounds like an easy
task, but the winner had only seven or
eight peanuts to his credit. When the
children began to giggle, when hands
grew shaky, or walk quickened into
a run, the peanuts were tumbling
everywhere to the delight of the on

SUCCESSOR TO STOLYPIN

The czar of Russia could never
have appointed a better man to the
place than when he made Waldemar
Kokovtzoff his premier. Kokoytzoff
had been acting in that capacity ever
since Stolypin was assassinated oy
Dmitry Bogroff, so it was not any
thing unusual for the Russian en-
peror to appoint NJ. Kokovtzoff as the
murdered mans successor.
NJ Kokovtzoff has Travelled extern
sively. In this latter connection he
met many leading statesmen and men
of finance, which gave him a broader
knowledge of affairs outside of Rus
STA than Stolypin ever enjoyed. Ko-
kovtzoff was also present at the as
sassination of the Japanese Prince
Ito at Hardin, Manchuria.
No Russian statesman has stood
higher in the public eye than Kokov-
tzoff He is a popular figure in the
court circles.and in the society of St
Petersburg. He is more sociable than
Stolypin, who was very austere in his

IS BELOVED BY CANADIANS

The Dominion of Canada seems to
be coming upon new epoch in her
history. With the passing OF the
liberal party from power the present
governor general, Earl Grey, and his
wife, the much beloved Countess Grey,
will also pass from the stage of Cana
dian affairs and give place to the duke
and duchess of Connaught. Probably
no other first lady of Canada has been
more popular with the Canadian
people than Countess Grey, whose
portrait is here shown. She is wom-
an of personality and charm and from
the time that she was warmly re-
ceived into the country by the Canadi-
ans she has endeared herself to their
hearts in a way that makes her de-
parture source of deep regret
throughout the Dominion
While in Canada Lady Grey has
taken the deepest interest in educa-
tional. charitable and humanitarian
movements. She has been the moving
spirit of many of Canada's charitable

MISS SUSAN GLAsPELL'S DOG

bought it, over in Paris, she wanted at
first to name it Raspail both in mem
DRY of the boulevard on which she
lived and as sympathetic cognomen
for sensitive souled Partisan dog.
But her family objected. They could
not see their way clear to shouting,
Come Raspail! Raspail! Raspail!" So
Miss Glaspell compromised on VOLTA.
VOLTA has vagaries. 1t is wan
derer. 1t Is coolie, and coolie, it
evidently thinks, ought to be afield.
Whenever 1t feels that way, away
VOLTA goes. Fortunately it wears a
collar with Miss Glaspell's name and

Then with bowlfuls of popcorn and
peanuts they made circle about the
jolly aunt, who announced that the
last half hour was to be devoted to
something very weird and "Hallow-

chanting softly, while into saucer

poured alcohol upon it from silver

In the corner of each card was a

Every response was an acceptance,
and straightway preparations for the
party began. From farm house we
drove home one day with a load of
cornstalks, pumpkins, and carrots.
Everybody in the house who could
use jack-knife was pressed into serv-
ice. Big pumpkins and little were
transformed into lanterns, with faces
upon which black or white paint had
sketched queer eyebrows or fierce
mustachios. They were distributed

The dining table was set with a
group of carrot candlesticks and bowl
fuls of apples, nuts, grapes and
candy. Upon fat pumpkin was
perched Halloween witch, holding a
handful of raffia, which came from
the mouth of a grab-bag. In her black
gown, peaked hat, and flying red cloak,
with a veritable broomstick in her
hand, she was the star of indoors. On

seen two blocks distant. Her frame
work was a rough wooden cross with
one end hewn to a sharp stake which
was driven into the ground. Pillows
were tied about her lath-like form for
shapeliness, while her garb was

noble proportions, the hair was
bunch of black raffia, and over it
perched lordly hat with peak near

scarf of orange colored paper tied in
magnificent bow at one side. The
head was nailed securely to the frame

ADEE LONG IN THE SERVICE

Forty-two years service under the

as second assistant secretary of state,
Is the remarkable record of Alvey Au-

man in the whole diplomatic world.
Secretaries of state may come and go,
but Adee goes on forever.
Mr.. Adee was born in Astoria, N. Y,
November 81, 1912. His first service
in the diplomatic corps was as secre-
tary of the American legation at Mad
rid, to which he was appointed on
September 8, 1870, and, in the absence
of the charge d'affaires, assumed the
duties of that office. He remained at
this post until 1877, when, because of
ill health, he returned to the United
States. Shortly after his return he
was appointed chief of the diplomatic
bureau, which place he held until July
18, 1882, when President Arthur ap-
pointed him third assistant secretary
