Germans, Jews. negroes, Greeks, or
any others that fancy may select.
Articles for sale are arranged on the
carts and sold from them as from ordi-
nary booths. There are pushcarts for
fancy articles, others for household
things, still others for candy, for toys,
and for lemonade and cake, ice cream,
or tea. II you can get q band and
have pretzels and "sausages" sold from
the German cart so much the better.
The "sausages" are for the grab bag
small articles rolled in long folds Of
brown crepe paper, tied with fine string
ct each end.
A pushcart supper will furnish much
amusement. Cups and saucers, plates,
ETC.. are bargained for at the first cart,

OPPORTUNITY FOR POOR BOY

TO the Fact That Others May
Rise to Prominence.

The retirement Of Thomas Burt,
member Of parliament and privy coun-
cilor, at the age Of seventy-seven, calls
attention to the fact that It is not

nence and distinction.
Burt was the son Of an English
miner and at ten years Of age went to
work in a Durham colliery for 20 cents
O day. He had q passion for study

A Gnnd Trick.

One Of the best tricks a person can
see in years of watching is based on
q physiological fact. The magician
leaves the room, after directing some
one in the room to hold one Of his
hands high above his head while he
counts twenty slowly, then to lower
It and ask the magician to return to
the room. The other hand is to re-
main in an ordinary position. When
the magician returns, he walks up,
compares the two hands and without
hesitation tells which hand has been
held up. It is queer that so simple
a trick should prove so puzzling. The
hand that has been held high becomes
white during the time its owner is
counting twenty. The other hand, es'
pecially If 1t has dangled at the side,
is red.

SOAP BUBBLES ARE AMUSING
Plenty Of Fun for the Little Folks a.
Well az Old oneS-Many Games
May Be Played.

Bubbles make lots OF fun, not only
for the very little boys and girls, but
for the more grownup ones. too, as
really good games can be played with
them. But provide plenty OF pipes
one for each, the white clay kind, you
know. Then make some soap jelly by
boiling white soap in water and let
ting It cool. This may be kept In a
Jar ready for use. A couple OF tea
spoonfuls Of the Jelly in cup or bowl
Of warm water will furnish countless
bubbles.
Many games may be played with
the bubbles. An ironing.board lean
ing against a heavy table or the win
dow seat and firmly braced makes a
well-padded path to roll the bubbles
down. A large, light hoop suspended
well above peoples heads, is all that
is needed for a fine game. Sides are
chosen, which take up their places on
opposite sides of the hoop, and at
equal distances from It. Each player
has q pipe and each side a bowl OF
soapsuds. The sides play alternately.
At each turn a player steps up to a
given line, blows a bubble, losses 1t
high in the air, and then tries by blow
ing 1t gently to get It through the
hoop. II he fails he must go to the
other side. The game is finished when
all the players are on one side. A
string stretched across the room about
six feet from the floor makes a good
substitute for the hoop.
