FOR THE CHILDREN
Game of Nonsense.

The company being seated In CIR
lie, one starts by whispering to his
peighbor on his left an article; this one
whispers to the one on the left an ad-
jective; he whispers to the one on his
left noun, and each whispers to the
one on the left the following parts OF
speech in regular order: An article. an
adjective. a noun singular, verb. an
adverb, a number, another adjective
and n noun plural. the last one ending
by whispering to the first.
When each has had the word whis-
pered In his or her ear the second one
tells his word aloud, then the third,
fourth, and so on, until n complete SEN
tence is spoken.
The first player whispers the article
a, second one the adjective magnifi-
cent, third one the noun leopard, fourth
one the verb contemplated, fifth one
the adverb pensively. sixth one the
number nineteen. seventh one another
adjective, exasperated, and the eighth
one noun. in plural. kangaroos, to fin
ish the sentence.
Each one now speaking his whisper
ed word aloud, the nonsense is:
"a magnificent leopard contemplated
pensively nineteen exasperated kanga-
rOOS."

APPLE shows of the past have
dealt chiefly with the subject Of
varieties and manner OF cultiva-
ton OF the king of fruit in the
nor Invest, but this year discus
sion of production will give way
to discussion OF plans OF distri-
button. Having stimulated the
production OF great quantities
OF apples, the problem now is
how to get them to the markets
OF the world. The solution OF
the problem is in organization
and cooperation among grow
ers, shippers and transportation
companies.

ALTHOUGH j. NJ. Haines, re-
publican candidate for governor
is announced to be in Rathdrum
next Monday with Senator
Borah, late advices are to the
effect that he is campaigning in
southern Idaho. that he did not
come north with the senator
and that it is not likely he will
be with the senator at any point
in the 1atter's itinerary in the
north. 1t had been claimed
that Mr.. Haines had been seek
Jag to profit by the popularity
OF Senator Borah by appearing
before the same crowds that
came out to hear the latter.
This is said to have been the
plan followed in the south, the
republican central committee
having arranged for the two to
stump the state together How
ever, the candidate for governor
is not with the senator in the
north, SO that it may be inferred
the plan adopted in the south
has been abandoned, in which
event Mr.. Haines will probably
campaign in the north later on
and alone. AS Senator Borah
is talking for principles and not
men, it is said he did not so
much as mention Mr.. Haines'
name in his recent speeches in
the southern part of the state.

he Knew His Name.

Among the stories told from time to
time to illustrate the intelligence OF
dogs none is more charming than this
little aneedote. said to be true, Of the
dog belonging to the poet Whittier:
One day when the poet was celebrat-
ing his birthday he was visited by
woman who was fine singer. On be-
ing asked to sing this woman seated
herself at the piano and began the
beautiful song called robin Adair."
While she was singing Mr.. Whittier's
pet dog came into the room. and. seat
ing himself by the woman's side. he
listened with unusual attention to her
sorg. When she had finished he came
and put his paw very gently into her
hand and licked her cheek.
"RObin has taken that song as a trib-
ute to himself" said Mr.. Whittier, for
his name Is also Robin Adair."
The dog, having heard his own name
in the song. seemed to think that it
was all for his benefit From that mo-
ment and during all the woman's visit
he was her devoted attendant He
kept at her side while she was indoors.
and when she went away he carried
her satchel in his mouth, with every
evidence Of distress.

lemons-A Game.


Any number may play at lemons.
Two of them stand aside. joining
hands like the arch in London bridge.
They represent the squeezer. The 9th
err players are the lemons, and they
stand at some distance from the
squeezer.
The squeezer sings:
Some lemons want for the freezer.
Come, juicy ones; come to the squeezer.
They keep on singing this refrain.
while the lemons creep nearer and
nearer. Suddenly one of them darts
through the arch.
If the squeeZer Is quick enough the
lemon Is caught and squeezed and
stands aside. out of the game. while
the squeezer sings:
juicy lemon-squeeZe him dry.
Well have another by and by.
But IL the lemon gets through un-
caught the squeezer sings:
See. the lemons passed us by!
To catch another We must try.
II the squeezer fails three times 1t
Is worn out and new one must take
Its place. In this way the game can
be kept up for a long time. for it is
seldom that all the lemons get caught

Money In Hirds' Nests.

A small boy Of Caldwell. N. j.. is the
richer by SO for the fact that some
sparrows chose to build their nests in
the attic windows of his, home. John
Bowman is his name. and it all came
about when some sparrows annoyed his
mother so much that she told him to
destroy their nests that had been built
in the windows on the top floor. John
went ahead to do so. like an obedient
son, but he was somewhat surprised
to find that inside the first nest was a
tiny scrap of ten dollar bill. John
didn't think much of this. but he be-
came interested when he went on ind
found that in the other nests were
other pieces of the note. Seemingly the
colony of the birds had divided the
booty between them. John went on to
collect all the pieces of the bill he could
and then sent them on to the treasury
department at Washington to be re.
deemed.

canse his neighbor, George Roberts
had allowed his. portion of the line
fence to rot away and had locked W
his cattle when they strayed over the
line, Joseph Koskowski, 90 years old
shot and killed Roberts with double
barrel shot gun yesterday afternoon.
AT police headquarters he told the
story to Chief of Police Detzel, chuck.
ling to himself and at times bursting
out into loud fits of laughter. He told
of having had a quarrel with Roberts
about noon and said that when he went
home and got his shot gun and went
back to renew the trouble. A contro-
verSy followed, and taking the empty
gun ne demonstrated to Chief Detze
now he committed the act.

EOCTOR NEVER ASKED FEE.

Vauconda, ILL.,, Aug. ia granite
shaft, erected by popular subscription,
will mark the grave of DR.. Joseph
Dawson, physician who never asked
a fee.
Dawson died and was buried in a
little town cemetery two years ago,
but his grave has remained unmarked.
Nobody knows just whence Dawson
car1e. He arrived with one friend, a
collie dog, and soon established wide
practice. Those who wished to pay for
lis services could do so, but he never
insisted on a fee What money he did
not use for actual necessities of life he
gave to charity. To the curious he
said:
81 came here from California, there
Il have wife and child. l like your
town and I'm going to stay here.
For ten years Dawson lived with his
dog as his sole companion. When he
died the tribute paid to him was:

TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS
WEEK.

When a young man went to Ellis
Island to receive two aunts who had
just come over from Dublin with lit.
tie money his ability to support them
was challenged.
When his income was given as S25
week the immigration officials
ruled against him ,declaring it INSULT
cient for the maintenance OF three
persons. An appeal was taken to the
Secretary of Commerce and Labor,
who promptly reversed the local Off
Gals, with the statement that the sum
was sufficient to sustain a family of
half a dozen.
The case is interesting as another
illustration of the faulty of the i'm
migration authorities in this port. A
majority of American families live on
less than S25 week. There are some
that on an income of not less not only
live BEAUTIFULLY and happily, but send
one or more sons or daughters through
university.
In most small towns and villages,
where rents are cheap, an income OF
that kind would admit of many minor
Injuries as we'll as the comforts OF
life. In the hands of women raised
to the habits of European thrift and
domestic industry, it would make eV-

home for the wage-earner but sur
Mus for the savings bank besides
We are confident that here in Alexan-
dria the income of the average 1arm-
ilv is much less than $25 week.
It is not easy to understand the pa
els upon which many of the veXa'
tious rulings of these officials are
built, but it would appear from thi'
and similar cases to be the similar one
of subjecting immigrants to as many
annoyances as possible and to MAKE
them pass as evidences OF ZEAL

SENATOR ASHHURST HERE.

Among the visitors to Alexandria
Yesterday was Senator H. F. Ashurst
of Arizona, accompanied by his two
secretaries, M. I. McKelligon and j
J. Sweeney. Senator Ashurst
came to Alexandria at the invitation
of Messrs. w. H. Hunter: and Thomas
Nueent, of the United States navy
ward and later in the day went to the
Collingwood Club on the Potomac,
where he was entertained by mem
bers of the club.
The Senator was greatly pleased
with his trip and seemed to enjoy his
outing in the country. He said that
while Washington was very pleas
ant place to live in he missed the open
country of his native State. He was
PAL ticularly interested in the foliage
of Virginia and declared that the
country south of Alexandria was most
attractive.
Senator Ashurst is the second
youngest man in the Senate, his age
being Sc. He is two years older than
Senator Luke Lee, of Tennessee, who
has the distinction of being the baby
of the Senate. TIL new Senator of
Arizona is a big man of the most
pleasing personality.
