pie. When the absent one returns he
is asked what he wishes TO do with
No |. No and No. 3. When he has
answered he is told who were the in
dividuals named. If his wishes are
impossible he pays a forfeit. but IL
possible. however absurd, he escapes.
and another of the party leaves the
room.
Example
No. /. George Washington.
No. =. Grand Duke Alexis.
No. 3. Queen Mary.
When the leader returns he is asked:
"What will YOU do with No. ~
Answer: IL will send IL to Africa"
What will you do with No. %"
Answer: II will put It in the ash
barrel"
"What will you do with No. 30"
Answer Il will make it president OF

You must pay two forfeits. one is

sible to send him to Africa. AS we
make no allowance for heroes being
dead and buried But our second is
Duke Alexis. You cannot put him in
the ash barrel. And our third IN
Queen Mary. whom you cannot make
president Of the United States.

FOR The CHILDREN
The Maqic Slippers.

Once there was powerful king
whose daughter was the most beauti-
full woman in the world. Her name
was Princess Elsie. Princess Elsie had
heard of wonderful pair of slippers.
The owner could 20 anywhere or wish
anything he chose. and instantly it
was fulfilled. She wanted them so
badly, but she could not get them be-
cause they were at the other end of
the world
She went to the king, her father, and
said. Your majesty, grant me year
10 find the wonderful slippers"
At first the king would not consent
but at last gave way. The next day
she started, attended by only one serv-
ant. That day they travelled many
miles, so that at night they were ex-
ceedingly tired. They rested at a cot
tage Their hostess was Princess Ell
sizes fairy godmother in disguise. She
asked them where they were going.
The princess answered, ITO the end
of the world to find the magic slip
pers."
The fairy godmother granted them
success. The next day they started Off
again. They travelled for weeks and
months, but still they were not at the
end of the world.
At last they reached the end of the
world. but they had not found the
slippers. Princess Elsie said sadly,
"Oh. / wish | had found the magic
slippers"
Just as she said this, strange to say.
she saw them before her She took
them up and wished that she and her
faithful servant We're at home. When
her father saw her he was wild with
Joy because it was near the end of the
second year. There was rejoicing
which lasted many days throughout
the kingdom.

lief. it is hoped. will be afforded
by tie passage of the bill in Con-
gress removing certain restric-

through the transfer of some OF

The authorization by Congress
of the Secretary of~the Navy to use
navy vessels to carry passengers,
mail and freight to South Ameri-
ca and European countries should
provide additional resources. if
the plan is found practicable upon
trial. But all OF these schemes
are essentially makeshifts and
serve but to accentuate the crying
need of the. re-establishment of
an American merchant marine

OUR VANISHED MARINE

The European war brings forci-
bly, to the CONSCIOUSNESS of the
United States the great mistake it
has made in permitting the de-
cline and practical extinction of
the American Merchant Marine.
In the period between the estab-
iishment of this government and
the outbreak of the Civil War be-
tween the states. the U. S. mer-
chant marine established place

ain in number and tonnage of yes

was threatened with eventual

During the Civil War. however,
a large amount of American ship

merchant marine The United
States never regained it's ascend

various causes unnecessary to
discuss at this time.

A WAR OF COUSINS

Considering the blood relation
ship among the rulers of Europe
who are now at war with one an
other. the present clash over there
might appropriately be termed the
War Of Cousins
There is scarcely a ruler in
Europe. Turkey and Italy except
ed, who is not allied by the tie OF
blood with every other ruler. The
Car Nicholas of Russia and En-
peror William of Germany are
both first cousins of King George
of England. The mother of Ger
many's Emperor was sister OF
the late King Edward. while the
mother of the Car is sister OF
Queen Alexandra. The family like
ness between the Gear and King
George is quite noticeable.
The Chicago Tribune observes
that Greece, which has signified
her intention of joining hands
with Servia. is bound by blood ties
of it's rulers to member of the
Triple Alliance. as we'll as a men,
Der of the Triple Entente. King
Constantinos of Greece is a first
cousin Of King George of Eng
