Lord Ballyrot in
LSlauQland

Imagine, II you can, old chap,
my establishment at meeting a
friend whom l had not suspected
OF being In possession of wealth,
sitting at the wheel of a diminu-
tive motor car. On inquiring II
he was the owner of the minute
conveyance, he assured me that
he was and went on to remark:
"How do you like my little life
boat on rollers, eh, kid? Take 1t
from me, it's the fastest watch
charm on the road and the way 1t
passes those long-nosed gas gigs
would make you holler your bean
off. This raft o. mine may look
like tin can on painted spokes.
but. believe your Cousin Lou,
she's built for speed, comfort and
goat-butting and any time this
little peanut rooster can't lick up
so miles an hour then I'm chief
gravel xnocker of the Ananias
frat. Now watch me poke hole
in the climate!"
MY WORD!

Space does not permit me to
print all OF the essays that re-
ceive, although / would like to
publish every one. Saturday I
could not print half of the essays.
Today / have two that were
crowded out Saturday and which
l have given honorable mention.
l have another fine essay in my
desk from Marion Mexican of
Puyallup, which did not arrive by
mail until late Saturday after
noon. l will print it some day
this week, also.
This week I will give the dol
lar prize to the Circleite sending
in the best description of a game.
1t can be an outdoor game or an
indoor one, but must be one that
both girls and boys can play to-
gether. Give a description of
the game, together with the rules
under which it is to be played.
Yours truly,

DIARY OF FATHER TIME

before and after each meal but
still, the custom was anything but
clean.
Each of the guests at dinner
was first offered a basin and {
pitcher and 1t was bad form to
help ones self to any of the food
before having carefully washed
hands and face. OF course, they
washed them again after the
meal. Goldsmiths finally invent,
ed forks but at first they were OBJ

only at times when they might
have been done without, as for
eating pears, cheese and sand
