GAME IS MOST INTERESTING
"My Lady Wants Her Whole Toilette" Causes Players to Make Wild
 Scramble for Seats.

In this game the players are all seated in a ring, and each takes for a name some article of toilette, such as brush, glove, or something of the kind. One of their number stands in the center of the room and twists small tray or bread-board quickly round, at the same time calling out the name of one of the articles. She must run forward quickly and catch the tray before it falls. If she failI to do this she goes back to her seat. but if she catches it she takes the place of the turner.
 Sometimes the cry is My lady wants her whole toilette" and at these words everyone jumps up and makes a rush for the chairs, including the turner, and the one left without a seat must take her place in the center, and the game then goes on as before.

DEMAND FOR LITTLE CAVES
Wanted for Use in Laboratory Work- Philadelphia Uses on Average
 2,000 Every Week.

Boys often indulge in raising pigeons or rabbits for sale, but did you ever try guinea pigs, boys? There is a ready sale for the little cavies, as they are called. The demand is now so great for these that the supply is short of the demand. Cavies are used in laboratory work. One of these in Philadelphia uses on an average of 2,000 of these cavies a week, and tries to keep a dozen times that many thousand on hand. About that city are many people breeding guinea pigs for sale.
 Germany used to supply the expert ment market with these. There are guides to the raising of guinea pigs advertised. The price runs from 3S to more than 80 cents apiece, accord ing to the size. Some sell as low as five ounces in weight and some as high as twelve or fourteen ounces.

Taber May "Come Back"

While Norman S. Taber has an- nounced his retirement it is said it would not be surprising if he endeav- pred to break the three quarters of a mile record of 3:02 4-5 held by Tommy Connen. Coach Eddie O'Connor be- lieves Taber can beat this record. He has been anxious ever since Taber made his world record of minutes 12 3-5 seconds for a mile to have his protege try for the three-quarter rec ord, and he may induce him to try this spring.

'Now'I Can Have Some Fur Skating"

"Now'I Can Have Some Fun Skating" ;" CTS, and he crowed and screamed as the carriage glided over the smooth ice.
 By and by he fell asleep, and Bella wheeled the carriage off the pond and placed it by a fence by some bushes.
 "He will be all right there,' she said, land now can have some fun skating"
 So the baby slept and Bella skated, and after awhile it was time to go home, and no one thought of the baby.
 Bella took off her skates and ran with the others across the lots to the road that led to the village.
 Just as she entered the yard she thought of the baby; her mother saw her and ran to the door; but Bella did not stop; she ran down the street to the read that led to the pond. She ran on and On across the lot to the fence where she had left the carriage, but the baby and carriage had disap- peared.
 Bella looked all around, but there was no carriage to be seen, then she thought of the gypsies that were camped at the other side of the will iage and began to cry; what if they had stolen her baby brother and she would never see him again.
 There was nothing to do but go home and tell her mother, and Bella r1yifh hT1r in O feet, crying as though her heart would break.
 She ran into the house, and there sat her mother with the baby held tight in her arms.
 Bella ran up to him, but her mother pushed her away. 'No, you do not love him!'' she said. ''I shall never let you take him out again, and as you do not love him, do not want you to hold him or kiss him until you do."
 Bella sobbed. and begged to be al- lowed to kiss ths baby, but her moth CT said 70; she did not love her little brother enough to take good care of him, and she could not touch him. Besides that, you deceived me-" said her motbsr. q did not tell you you could not take your skates, but you knew wanted you to take care of the baby, and you deceived me, besides risking the life of your brother.
 eff MT. Bennett had not been cross ing the lot and heard the baby crying no knowing what would have hap pened, for he was hanging over the side of his carriage, and MT. Bennett saw him just in time to save him from falling"
 Bella was very much ashamed, as well as frightened, but it was long time before her mother would trust the baby with her again. Bella never forgot her fright and her love for her brother could never be doubted, when her mother, after a while, let Bella kiss him, and she never had to be asked to take care of the baby.

FAIR SEX IN THE MAJORITY
Preachers Offer to Marry Persons Brought an Altogether Unlocked
 For Response.

Some of the visiting ministers have told some good stories about one an other during the Laymen's Missionary Movement convention here, says the San Diego Union. This is one that was handed" to Rev. Hugh l.. Burle- son:
 A young couple came into his rooms just as he was going to begin service in the church and asked him to marry them. He said if they would wait until after the service he would give them a public wedding.
 After the benediction he announced: "Now, will those persons wishing to be married please come forward" It is recorded in the story that eleven women and one man answered to the call.
 An offset to that story is one told by Dr. Alonzo R. Petty of woman who was before a judge asking for a di- vorce. The judge leaned over the desk and said to the woman:
 Madam, how long did you know this man before you were married?"
 "Your honor," she said, "I was ac- quainted with him for eighteen months, but never really knew him until I asked him for g. dollar"

 Speaker, Hooper or Lewis can throw strike over the plate as we'll as the pitcher" said Jimmy. There aren't three better throwing arms in baseball.

 Perhaps they haven't any little brothers to care for" said her moth CT; you can skate this afternoon, but l want you to take brother out this morning so I can get my baking done.''
 Bella pouted, but she knew she must obey her mother, and when a few minutes later her mother put the baby in his carriage she wheeled him down the street. Come along to the pond,' said one of Bella's playmates; you can watch us skate away"
 Take this carriage minute,' said Bella. T want to get something in the house."
 Bella ran back, and when she re- turned she had something under her coat which she slipped into the car raige under the baby's feet.
 T don't see why I cannot skate and take care of him, too," she said. Mother was upstairs, so I got my skates from the back hall; what she does not know won't hurt her, and I can have some fun skating"

We gave the Red Sox a terrific scrap for the flag through the six months cam paign. No short series, but real smashing, toe-to-toe fight from April 15 to October 8. The reason is plain. Cobb, Crawford and Veach can go and get them like Hooper, Lewis and Speaker, and as for throwing arms, Boston hasn't anything much on our trio."

Ted Lewis, the English boxer, could not box gently if he tried. He is a rushing, slambang fighter and trains the same way, giving no quarter and asking none.
 He used to get bruised and cut about the face so often in training that he has devised special boxing headgear that makes him look like masked marvel. Strips of steel, heavily pad ded, cover his nose, mouth, ears and forehead, leaving only the chin and top of his head exposed. Now he can rough it in the gym to his hearts content.
