AMUSEMENT FOR THE TOTS
Game That VIII Keep Them Interest.
ed During the Long Evenings
Of the Winter.

Now that the evenings are drawing
in, the children will want some new
game to play after supper is over.
They will all enjoy the "Cut-Out Fam
lily Came" which is played as follows:
Get a big pile of illustrated journals,
catalogues and picture papers, and
give each child a blunt.pointed pair OF
scissors, a large sheet of newspaper or
brown paper, and a pot of paste or a
packet of pins.
Then read or tell them some simple
little tale of everyday life-not a fairy
story, but an ordinary, everyday tale
of boys and girls and their fathers
and mothers. AS you go along, stop
from time to time, and let the children
hunt through the illustrated books for
pictures to suit the occasion.
Perhaps you will begin in this way:
"Once upon a time there was a little
girl called Susie. She was years
old and she had long, curly hair. Now,
look through your books and find a
picture of Susie"
Then the children will spend five
happy minutes in finding Susie. cut
ting her out, and fastening her at the
top of the blank sheet. As the tale
continues the sheet will become full
of portraits Of the different people
whom Susie met, the pet animals she
had, and so on.
It will take IN hour or more to fill
a sheet, and the children will be qui'
city and happily occupied all the time,

back to his native town. Hard
times had caused him to lose his
job in Ohio and he was despond-

with his only living relative, a
sister, Mrs. Fred Brandt.
II won't be here long," he
told a friend on Saturday.
What he meant was revealed
Tuesday evening about 7:30 when
he went to the home of his sis
ter's mother-in-law, Mrs. Fofer
Brant. Without saying anything
he went to the second story room
and when Mrs. Brant heard a
shot there she hurried up stairs.
She found young Pensinger lying
on the floor unconscious. A Flo
bert, %, rifle was lying by his
side and a small. bleeding wound
in the left temple told the story.

KEEP THEIR LITTLE SECRETS
Know All That Is In Their
Children's Minds.

There is nothing more unfathom-
able, or more apparently unreason-
able, than the reserve of a little
child. You may look back upon your
own childhood and remember how
little of your real inner life you eve
disclosed to the people around you,
and you perhaps explain this ex-
traordinary r%eticence by the greater
severity with which children were
treated in that sterner age. You
complain that it vas a regime which
checked confidence, and declared that
from the very first you resolved to
try a different method with your own
children. You admit that your chill
dren are not quite as respectful to
you as you were to your parents, but
you say that, on the whole, you would
rather have confidence than respect.
Do you fatter yourself that you
get it from your small children? 1t
is true that the period of reserve
may be shortened by judicious treat
ment and that as they grow older
the relations between you may be
all that you have hoped for; but as
49,
for your little child, overlooking
with spirit and affection, running to
you with all sorts of questions and
condolences, disclosing itself to you,
as you fancy, with absolute trans
parency, do you really imagine that
you see to the bottom of its soul?
Put away the delusion! just as,
in later life, the most successfully Sc
c%retive person is the one who appears
most frank, so u babbling child
fools us.-Scribner's.

they be made into an auto. A

that volume is required, what shading

follows every motion of the singer to
detect her next requirement in the
matter of piano support. He not only
knows these things, but he does them.
