Most people love animal pets. espe.
cially little people. Dogs and kittens
are usually chosen. and rabbits. guinea
pigs. squirrels, etc, are common, but a
rooster is surely IN exception. The
baby in the picture is not much larger
than his feathered pet, and both are
about the same age. AS the illustra-
ton shows they are on excellent terms
and apparently are enjoying conf
Dental talk. Kindness to animals is
a fine trait and one that all boys and
girls should cultivate. Kind treat
ment quickly wins the trust and affec-
ton of nearly all members of the ami
NAL kingdom. and they show it in
many pleasing ways. OF course. care
must be used in the selection of such
a pet. since some rOosters are vicious.

The jolly Game Of Piq.


Any one who has not played the
game of pig has yet to learn what
merry game it is. 1t can be played
either for prizes or forfeits.
The cards used are ordinary playing
cards. which are dealt around. one at
a time. till the pack is exhausted.
Players sit around a general table.
and the cards are dealt face down.
Every one matches the cards dealt
to him in pairs as quickly and quietly
as possible, laying them aside as fast
as matched. the object being to get
out of cards as soon as can be done.
AS soon as any is out of cards. which
is done by drawing from his neigh
Dor and matching. as in old maid, he
says nothing. but folds his hands un-
der the table. This is : signal for all
the players to do the same thing-that
is, to lay aside their cards and observe
silence. But most players are too in
tent upon the game to notice the si-
lence in other parts OF the table. One
by one they become aware of it and
quietly lay down their cards. The last
one to do SO is the pig" who must
either forfeit his chance for the prize
or pay a forfeit. according to the ar.
rangements made in advance of the
game. \ number of rounds are play
ed in order that number of pigs shall
be made
In case prizes are given the one first
out is entitled to Il DriZc The pig
might receive Il BOBBY prize.
