In Japan there il grown species Of
long tailed fowls that are bred to
produce tremendous tails. Phoenix
Yokohama the breed is called. They
are often kept on high perches. the
magnificent tails hanging down like
great masses Of silken ribbons, and
when let down to walk around small
boys attend to hold the trailing ap-
pendages. Their plumage is silvery,
and it requires eight years for the
males to grow perfect tails. the fowls
molting only once in three years. The
hens are more modest and grow tails
of only ordinary size.

Game Of Echo.


Echo Is 8 game that may be played
by any number of persons, one of
whom is chosen to tell story. and
the others are given the names of vari-
Gus characters or objects that are to
be mentioned in it.
When the story teller mentions the
assumed name of player once the
player must repeat it twice. and if 1t
is mentioned twice in succession it
must be repeated once.
Any player who does not echo his
name or who repeats it the wrong
number of times must pay a forfeit.
The object Of the story teller is to
make his story so entertaining that the
players will forget to echo. If the
story is to be about fight with bear.
for instance, the names taken by the
players might be gum. hunter. rock.
cave. woods, tree. powder, bullet.
knife. paws. etc. or if about ship
wreck the names might be ship. cabin.
mate, crew, mast. sail. rudder. wind.
waves, etc.
The game is similar to 'stagecoach."
where the players rise and turn round
when their names are called instead Of
echoing them.

A White Elephant Party.

The invitations are written upon
white elephants cut from plain white
paper, and on the specified date the
guests are requested to bring with
them in wrapped package white
elephant-that is, an article which they
have too good to be thrown away and
yet do not know to whom it may be Of
service.
When the guests are assembled. at a
signal from the hostess they begin ex-
changing their white elephants and
continue to do so with each other until
they get something they want to keep
or until the excitement has somewhat
subsidized. The result is that some of
them will be left with white eie-
plant still on their hands.
The hostess may then throw from
the hallway above or from an upper
window to the lawn a host of small
white paper elephants. the one gath
ering the most to be given a stuffed
white elephant for a prize.
Arrange the guests in circle. and
while partaking of refreshments the
hostess may begin weaving an original
elephant story, leaving off where she
thinks best for the guest next to her to
continue, and SO on until the circle has
been completed.
Quite an amusing story may be orig
mated. for it would be one composed OF
many men, many minds
Cakes cut with animal cOoky cutter
may be served with the refreshments.

HOMESTEAD BILL
REPORTED FAv0RABtY
New Homestead Law to Shorter
Length of Residence. Patent
in Three Years.

Washington, May 27.-The bill
introduced in the house Of represen-
tatives by Congressman Hanna of
North Dakota, and in the senate by
Senator Borah of Idaho, providing
for the issuance of patent to home
steaders after three years of resi-
dence upon their claims, which has
been under advisement by the house
and senate conference, will be re-
ported to the house and senate soon.
The house conferees won their point
in the conference to give titles to
homesteaders without any limita-
tions.
The bill, as agreed upon, provides
for three-year homestead and gives
to all homesteaders the right to con-
tinuous leave of absence of not to
exceed five months in each year. 1t
requires the entTyman to notify the
local land Office of the beginning and
expiration of such absence. This
leave is of course, in addition to the
comparatively brief periods of which
a homestead entryman maynow avail
himself in the ordinary way.
In addition to these provisions,t the
conferees agreed upon an amendment
under which all homestead entrymen
must, beginning with the second year
of their entry, cultivate one-sixteenth
of their land, which must be increas-
ed to one-eighth the third year. As
this also applies to enlarged home
stead entries, it's effect is to reduce
the amount of cultivation required
on such entries by one-half. These
provisions do not apply to Kinkaid
or reclamation homesteads.
The bill makes it the duty of the
secretary of the interior to send a
copy Of the new law to every home
stead entryman within thirty days
after it's passage. Any time within
80 days after the passage of the law
any homestead entryman may, by
notifying the local land Office, elect
to complete his entry under the law
as it existed at the time he made his
entry IL he so desires.
It is believed the report Of the con-
ferees will be adopted, and the bill
become a law.

Sioux Falls, S. D., May 28.-The
Sioux Falls Press today prints tel
egram from Roosevelt advising that
he cannot come to South Dakota on
account of his Memorial Day speech
at Gettysburg, Pa.,but makes an
appeal to the people, which in part is
as follows:
''There has never in our history
been cleaner lineup than this be-
tween the people and the bosses. We
are fighting for fundamental princi-
pies of American citizenship. I only
went into the fight when it became
evident that unless I did SO, there
was not the slightest chance to NOM
mate any progressive candidate at
Chicago
Events have made it certain that
at Chicago, either I will be nominat-
ed, or else a reactionary will be NOM
mated. Any progressive who casts
his vote for any other candidate is
merely giving aid and comfort to the
reactionary. Any such vote is equiv
alent to half vote for Taft.
Every boss in the country is
against US. But great majority of
the rank and file of the people are
with us, for this is their fight.
I'VE are fighting for their right to
rule themselves. The combination
of chooked politics and crooked bus
mess which we are fighting is best
typified by Mr.. Lorimer.
''We believe that the government
should. control in thorough-going
fashion not only interstate railroads
but all big interstate business. We
believe in a conservative policy, and
in extending irrigation work as rap
idly as possible.
eve are against any effort by reci-
procity, or in any other fashion, to
put the burden of tariff reduction ex-
clusively upon the farmer. The far
mer and the wage worker are the
two men we especially desire to see
benefited by protective tariff. It
must be tariff to protect the little
men, and not to favor the unduly big
men,"
