plunge his or her hand into the bag
(Which is pulled together at the top
with a drawing string and to keep it
there for minute, feeling as many as
possible of the toys contained in it.
Paper and pencils are then distrib

Those having the best sets of an

This is not game for the very little

The point which puts it beyond the
very little folks is the fact that the

ballad OF the popcorn man Of
fers opportunities for huge en-
joyment at the Yuletide, when all is
jollity and merriment.
The players are arranged in circle.
The leader turns to his left hand neigh
Dor and sings solemnly to grave or
monotonous tune the following words:
Oh, don't you know the popcorn man?
Oh, don't you know the popcorn man?
Oh, don't you know the popcorn man
Who lives in poor mans lane?
The leader and every player must
maintain sober face throughout the
chanting Of the ditty or pay forfeit.
The next player, thus questioned in
song, must stare the leader in the face
and sing In serious manner this reply
Oh. yes, I know the popcorn man!
Oh, yes, I know the popcorn man!
Oh, yes, I know the popcorn man
Who lives in poor mans lane!
When he has concluded this stanza
he turns to his left hand neighbor and
interrogates him:
Oh, don't you know the popcorn man?
Oh, don't you know the popcorn man?
Oh, don't you know the popcorn man
Who lives in poor mans lane?
The fun continues in this way until

When all have sung the words the
whole company joins in singing the
following chorus:
We all we'll know the popcorn man.
We all we'll know the popcorn man.

At noon today the city commit

his associates.
The commissioners met in regular

many matters of detail demanding
their attention that they were
forced to adjourn about midnight
until 10 o'clock this morning. At
ter carefully considering the prop
osition of Mr.. Nettles from all an

views of many citizens on the mat

be for the best interest of the COM

were carefully looked into by the
city attorney. The proposition as it

TO START NEW TRADE PLAN

New York, Sept. lit is ex-
pected that J. Fl. Allen, manager
of the Banque Rationale de la Re-
publique d'Haiti, and Col. George
r. Coltoon, former governor of
Porto Rico. with at least half a
dozen clerks. will leave this city
within a day or two to open branch
es of the National City Bank in
South America. Mr.. Allan and
Mr.. Coltoon will be joint managers
of the branch which will be opened
first in Buenos Ayres, Argentine,
probably early in October. 1t is ex-
pected that the opening of this
branch, and of other branches as
soon as circumstances permit, will
give a tremendous boost to the COM
mercial relations between the Unit
ed States and South America. While
the branch will have joint manag-
ers, their work will be almost en-
tirely different. Mr.. Allen who did
splendid work in building up the
bank in Hayti, will devote his time
almost exclusively to the technical
side of the banking. He is thor
oughly acquainted with Latin and
American methods and ideals as a
trained banker. Col. Coltoon, who
formerly was bank examiner, is
also thoroughly conversant with
commerce and trade in Latin Amer
lean countries, and understands to
an unusual degree the business
methods Of Latin Americans; the
tariffs of the different countries and
various other details that are need
ed for the successful conduct of bus
mess in those countries. His chief
work will be the compiling of infor-
nation for American exporters con-
corning trade opportunities in South
America. We will go into every
phase of this field and will extend
his activities to all South America.
