the successful guesser becomes the

One way of playing is to choose sides.
The sides stand in opposite lines, and a
story told by a player on one side must
be guessed by one on the other side.
At the end of some fixed time, gen
orally about half an hour, the side one
of whose members is telling a story
is declared the winner, thus deciding
by time instead of best guessing.

An Old Eavorite
She W alkS In Beauty

BY LORD BYRON.
q HF walks in beauty like the night
u OF cloudless climes and starry skies,
~ And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes,
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress
Or softly lightens DER her face,
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear, their dwelling
place.
And on that cheek and DER that brow
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love Is innocent.

Game of Animals.


The players sit in a circle. Each
chooses an animal and asks his neigh
Dor why he should wish to be the ami
NAL he has chosen. For example:
Q. choose an elephant. Why should
I wish to be one? A. Because you
would never lose your trunk in trav-
cling.
Q. wish to be a dog. Why? A. Be
cause it is intelligent and faithful.
Q. wish to be a monkey. Why?
A. So that you might play even more
tricks than you do already.
Q. / should like to be a deer Why?
A. You are one already. ca forfeit may
be claimed for bad pun.)
Q. choose to be lion. Why? A.
Because you always wish for power.
And so on around the circle. The
one answering gives the next question.
When one cannot give a satisfactory
answer he must pay a forfeit or drop
out Of the game.

bitter cold day and bought a wooden

of a beautiful girl, together with a
note saying: "If you are single,
please write to me-"
A name and address followed, and
the man smiled. He was single, ana
he put the photograph on his sitting

looking up from his book, he beheld

What's the Answer

Although ex-President Taft is not
a poker player, and takes no interest
in any cards except bridge, he pro-
nounces the following to be the best
poker story he ever heard.
The governor of Idaho was play
ing French euchre with a Hebrew
drummer, and at one stage in the
game the governor looked at his hand
and remarked;
IF you give me a queen and turn
this into a poker game, | bet you
500 on the hand"
The Hebrew looked at his hand
and then e reclaimed. in great excite
ment:
And | will raise you $1,000 if you
take it,
The governor accepted the raise
and the hands were laid down ON the
table. The governor held four aces,
the drummer four kings. The loser,
showing signs of great metal distress
separated himself with some difficult
ty from the SLIGO.
Then he looked at the governor as
II greatly %bewildered, and made the
request:
Can ! ask you just one question:"
Yes, laughed the governor, who
was in high good humor.
We'll. governor, will you tell me
what in thunder you wanted that
: queen for?"-Popular Magazine.

Keep in the sunshine, out in the

Handicaps.

When Homer smote his bloomin
Tyre he pulled some big league
stuff.
He wrote of Greek and Trojan guys
in battles long and tough,
But, though he saw Achilles fight and
heard Kid Hector fall,
He v heard the wallop of a bat
against a ball.
Old Horace often called for wine and
got a happy load,
And took his classic pen in hand and
wrote a Springtime ode.
He could have written Springtime
odes without a load at all
II he had heard the wallop of a bat
against a ball.
The bards who ground out yards of
verse in Greek and Roman
times
Had little else than wine and squads
and warfare in their rhymes.
They could have written miles of
stuff and still have time to
stall,
Had they but heard the wallop of a
bat against a ball.
