OF Interest to the Young Folks
TWO AMUSING GAMES.

as nearly in circle as possible, ana

speak above a whisper. The first play

This question belongs now to the sec
ond player. and the answer he gives
belongs to the first player. The sec
ond player then asks his neighbor
question, and he must remember the
answer, the question being remember
ed by the neighbor. The game con-
tinues until every one has a question
and answer. and each one must bear
in mind that the question he Is asked
and the answer his neighbor gives are
the ones which he should retain until
the end of the game, when each gives
his question and answer aloud In the
following way: 81 was asked, DO you

Gradually the great bell sways to
the movement OF the man astride IL
until 1t acquires n momentum that
swings the hammer first gently and
then with increasing force, as the
sweep of the bell widens. until the air
is trembling from the blows that strike
the massive sides.
The riders bend and rise and fall

while it hangs far out of the belfry
over the city.
