A GAME OF SKILL.
Writing Amusement In Which Any

person must write them down III the

The game may be made more dill

Reason For the Moaning.

There is an old story, brief. but In
stinct with a dread warning, which it
may not be out Of place to recall for
those who have never heard it:
A boy had wandered into an orchard
one windy day late in the spring. He
stopped under gnarled old apple tree
which, under the pressure Of the stroE:
blast. was swaying and creaking and
moaning as if in greatest agony.
"What on earth are you making all
that fuss about:" the boy asked. in
some derision. "Your moanin: and
sroaning are enough to make a>black
cat turn pale"
"O-o-o-oh." 'creaked the tree dismallv.

he would find at the top-Bett1na,

passed through the dining room. The
pink candles were not lighted. In

causes Of the present unsatisfactory eco
monte conditions by Gilbert II. Montague,

Mr.. Montague declared that economic
conditions would be better to-day If the

said. however, that since il was not likely
soon to be repealed il behooved America to
follow the examples Of Germany and Great
Britain and divorce politics and the en-
forcement Of the law.
Sharp contrast was drawn by other speak

application Of the principles OF scientific
management. he was translating into Ger
