NEW MACHINE FOR PAPER BOXES

Another labor-saving device has been
added to the machinery used in the
making of paper and pasteboard boxes.
A new box-covering machine, invented
by HARRISON S. Gipe of Palmyra, Pa,
has capacity of 1900 boxes per hour,
against four or five hundred OF any
former method knowI to box makers.
Another feature is that the new in.
vention saves about 40 per cent OF
glue, An extra device places the string
in hosiery boxes in the same operation
in which the box is covered. This Was
formerly done by hand.

Law of Attraction,

The attractions of men to women
and women to men are full of the
most perplexing inconsistencies and
contradictions imaginable. 1t is. for
instance, physical law that magne-
tism is not simple attraction of one
thing for another, but the difference
of two opposing forces of attraction
and repulsion. of which the former is
the greater. The same law holds in
relation to the attraction of men and
women for each other. in which. as a
rule. the masculine is the superior
force.-T. P.'s Weekly. London.

The Farmer Slicker

Down on the farm at Cherokee, Iowa,
Alexander Erlick read the city papers

but not now. All the modern farm

eggs for breakfast, count the money
left by the commission merchant on
his daily visit and then dress up and
take the neighbors' girls out riding.
Aleck explained to the two city men.
Pieske and Kircheesner decided that
down with the cows and chickens"
was the life for them, and each handed
Aleck $40 for railroad fare to Cherokee
and then went home to have their suits
pressed and their shoes shined.
When next they met Aleck he gave
them the cold shoulder. Don't know

them. They had him arrested as
"bunco man."

John Severson worked as farm
hand in North Dakota for twenty years
and succeeded in saving enough money
to buy a ticket back to his old home
in Sweden. He arrived in Chicago on
his way to New York to board q steam

born street depot and confided that
| they had a carload OF horses which
they were shipping to the German
army. They needed some money to
pay the freight to New York. John
lent them $50 for ar hour or two. At
nightfall he started back for North pa-
kota to work for another twenty years.

in the Grand Central depot holding a

THE FROG RACE.

This ia capital Christmas game.
The frogs, large and fat. are made of
cardboard.
Each frog is threaded on a string.
which later is secured at one end to a
chair. The other end of the string is
manipulated by the player in a series
of tugs which jerk the frog along the
floor.

thing slippery, like parquet or polish
ed boards. for certain amount Of re-

string and tie this to the leg. Ask
some one to sit upon the chair so that
the jerks. which are sometimes very
energetic. may not pull over the start
ing posts.
Fasten white tape across the carpet
with pins. The first frog that gets
over this wins prize.
The competitors desire speed, but the
leisurely manner in which the frogs
often respond creates shrieks Of laugh

WHO HAS THE BUTTON?

The old game of Button, button,
who has the button" may be played
In a new way at the Christmas merry
making. The players sit in a circle.
Then the leader takes button and.
holding it between his hands to con-
ceal it, goes around the circle. Each
player holds his or her palms together.
and as the leader goes around he
presses his hands between those OF
the other players in turn, saying to
each, "Hold fast what l give you." be-
ing careful not to show into whose
hand he drops the button.
When the circuit has been made the
leader goes to the first player and
says, Button. button, who has not got
the buttonY' and this person must an
swer, naming some one that he sup
poses hasn't it. Thus he proceeds
around the ring until all have answer
ed this question according to their be-
lief, when the leader cries. Button.
button, arisew and the button holder
does so.
Then if any one has guessed that
the person who really held the button
did not hold it he becomes ghost"
and is out of the charmed circle. The
player who held the button becomes
leader, and the game goes on. If no
one is caught. however, the game pro-
ceeds as before, the leader changing
places with the player who held the
button.
The ghosts can only become NOR
tai and again join the circle when
they can get some player in the circle
to speak to them, and then that NOR
tai must take the ghosts place.

OLD FASHIONED KABAK.

An old fashioned game which Is al
ways amusing at the Christmas gath
ering is kabak. In this absurd pas
time the leader says to the one whit
sits at his right hand. my ship has
come home from China" The Other
then asks, What has it brought your
The leader makes reply. "A fan.
Thereupon with his right hand he
makes gestures as if tanning himself
The next player then takes the place
of the leader in stating that his ship
has come home from China. The ques
lions and answers are repeated as be-
fore until the second player Is also
engaged in tanning himself.
In this manner the round of players
is made. and at the end all are indus
triously working an imaginary fan
with their right hands.
The leader then begins the second
round with a similar remark, from
which is evolved the fact that he has
received two fans, and he illustrates
this by tanning himself with both
hands. This. in turn, makes a round
of the company until all are waving
both hands to and fro.
The leader then begins the third Sc
ries, making three fans in fancy by
swaying his right foot back and forth
Then he includes the left foot. Final.
ly the head is nodded. The effect OF
whole company engaged in swaying
their hands, their feet and heads is al.
together ludicrous.
There are many Christmas amuse,
ments which depend for their fun on
the failure of the players to perform
any designated task. Such. for exam
pie, is that where each person with
blindfolded eyes tries to draw the out,
lines of pig. Often the unfortunate
subject of the sketch will have an eye
In it's side and a tail on its head, with
