This is a jolly pastime much en-
joyed by children and hailed by moth
ers as something new. Place five
chairs in row and five chairs OPP
posite them with a small table or
tabouret at each end. Ask ten chill
dren to take the seats thus provided,
with a captain at each head of the
line. Then the captain takes five pen
MES that are given him and lays them
on the head table. Every other child
must hold out its hands for the penny
to be dropped into them, the palms
fat and close together. Now the cap
tains sitting beside the head table
start sending the pennies to the other
end. They pick one cent off the table,
drop it in the next child's hand, then
the third person picks it out and drops
it in the next hand and so on. until
the last player is reached and the
coin is laid on the foot table. AS soon
as the fifth cent reaches the foot table
1t is sent back by the same process.
The side getting the five coins home
first wins, The faster this game is
played the more exciting it is and the
children always. want to do it over
and oyer.

The embossed and colored college
pennants on sale at 80 cents each at
the Journal office, are sufficiently ele-
CANT and artistic as examples of the
leather craftsman's art to be hung on
the walls of any room in any house
and seem appropriate there. OF
course most them will go into den
to make it more cosy, or be hung on
the walls of chambers of the girls
who have college friends, but few
in your cottage would brighten up the
rooms wonderfully; wherever they
hang they add to the vista and en-
nance that cosy feeling of the real
home.
Even the ugly bulldog embossed on
Yale's emblem has an air of elegance

Possibilities OF COny
Tieing withE. S.

For the benefit of those who seem to be
in doubt as to the outcome in regard To
the standing of the four teams IN DIVE
sion b of the Bowdoin League, it might
be well to note the following Various
opinions in the different papers nave
been given some correct while others
| were Incorrect. Let's see how this hg-
lures. "Cony High which is at present
leading in the league has won four games
and lost one, Wednesday, at Auburn 10
Edward Little High. This gives Cony
a narcentaee of 500 Edward Little has
won three and lost one, with percen-
taee of $50. Lewiston is third with one
game won and two lost; and Hallowell Is
trailing. having lost all four games ina.
they have played Cony has only one
more game to play, that being with
Lewiston, this Saturday afternoon, at
the kuel Wiinams neid. should .hes
win they will have five games to their
credit and one lost, or percentage VI
1888: should they lose they will have won
four and lost two or a percentage OF 900.
Edward Little has yet two games 10 De
played, one with Hallowell High, the
other with Lewiston High ana right
here is one case in which Edward Little
and Cony can be tied for first place, and
that is: should Edward Little win both
games. it would give her five games
won and one lost and providing
that Cony wins from Lewiston, to-
day. they will also have won five games
and lost one as heretofore stated. Inc
above is one of the cases in which the
teams can be tied. 1t is the general CEN
sus of opinion that Edward Little will
win both games, but surprises are bound
to happen in baseball, at that. Should
Edward Little win both games and should
Cony lose to Lewiston, Edward Little Will
of course win the championship in Divi-
sion B. with percentage of 1893 to .6ee
for Cony Providing Cony loses TO
Lewiston High and Edward Little wins
one game and loses the other. the
percentage will be $3.50 for both teams,
thereby necessitating the need of play
ing off the tie as in the other case above
Lewiston and Hallowell have no chance
of winning the title. This ought to be
clear.

LongIegs the Blue Heron Re-
ceiveS Callers.
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.
Copyright, 1913, BY J. G. Lloyd.)

Longlegs the Blue Heron felt decidedly
out of sorts. It was q beautiful morn
ing, too beautiful for any one to be feel
ing that way. Indeed, 1t was the same
beautiful morning in which Grandfather
Frog had caught so many foolish green
flies that he had stuffed his white and
yellow waistcoat until he couldn't get
another one In, and had then gone to
sleep right out in plain sight on his big
green Iily-pad in the Smiling Pool. It
was the very same morning that Little
Joe Otter had gone down to the Big
River fishing and had had such success
that he was fairly bubbling over with
good feeling.
jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun was smiling
of Old Mother West Wind were dancing
happily here and there over the Green
Meadows. looking for some good turn to
do for others. The little feathered people
to whom Old Mother Nature has given
the great blessing Of music in their
throats were pouring out their sweetest
songs. So 1t seemed as II there was no
good reason why Longlegs should feel
out of Sorts The fact is. the trouble
with Longlegs was an empty stomach.
Yes, sir, that is what allied Longlegs the
Blue Heron that sunshiny morning. You
know it Is hard work to be hungry and
happy at the same time.
So Longlegs stood on the edge of a shall
low little pool In the Laughing Brook
grumbling to himself. Just little while
before he had seen Little Joe Otter car
rying home big fish and this had made
him hungrier and more out Of sorts than
ever. In the first place, It made him en-
vious, and envy. you know, always stirs
up bad feelings. He knew perfectly well
that Little Joe had caught that fish by
boldly chasing 1t, for Little Joe can swim
even faster than a fish. But LOnglegs
chose to try to make himself think that it
was all luck. Moreover, he wanted to
blame some one for his own lack of sue
cess, as most people who fail do. So
when Little Joe had called out, Hi,
Longlegs, what luck this fine morning?"
