service was performed by the bell now
known as the Liberty bell.

when the nations fathers gave forth
to the world their Declaration Of lnde-
pendence. whose signing was heralded
by the ringing Of the bell. New Years
rejoicing was started by the first peal
Of what il known as the Liberty bell.
After the events OF July 4. 1910.

YOUNG FOLKS CORNER
A Game For Sharp Eyes.


This key game may be played by
any, number Of persons, who should
all, except one, seat themselves on
chairs placed in a circle. and the leader
should stand in the center Of the ring.
Each sitter takes hold. with his left
hand, Of the wrist Of the player sitting
on his left. being careful not to OBJ.
struct the grasp by holding the hand.
When all have in this manner Joined
hands they should begin moving them
from left to right. making a circular
motion. and touching each others
hands as If for the purpose Of taking
something from them. The player in
the center Of the ring then presents a
key to mi Of the sitters and turns his
back. SO al to allow it to be privately
passed to another, who hands 1t to a
third. and thus the key is quickly hand
ed around the ring from player to
another. which is quickly accomplished
on account Of the continued motion Of
the hands of all the players. Mean
while the player in the center. after
the key has reached the third or fourth
player. should watch its progress and
endeavor to seize it in its passage. If
he succeeds. the person in whose hands
it is found. after paying a forfeit, must
take his place in the center. and give
and hunt the key in his turn. Should
the seeker fail in discovering the key
in his first attempt, he must continue
the search until he succeeds.
