SOMETHING for the BOYS andCLRLS
A GAME OF WORDS.
Three Lives" Can De Played by Any
Number Of Persons.

Three Lives Can Be Played by Any
Number Of Persons.
Three lives Is a word game played
by any number OF persons. The first
player thinks OF n word and gives It's
first letter The second thinks of one
beginning with that letter aud gives
the seeoud letter The third thinks OF
one beginning with these two letters
ard gives the third. This goes Ola till
some one Is unable 10 think of n word
beginning with all the letters given
or tn some ones letter finishes Il
word OF four or more letters In ell
Their of these cases the player Is said
10 LOSE life and the one next In
order begins a new word. When any
one has lost three lives he drops out
of the game. and the victor Is he who
remains In az the last. Thus sup
pose the first player thinks of house
and says III" The second thinks of
happy and says "a" The third
thinks of harness" and says "R.
The fourth thinks of harry hut can
not say p because that completes
the word harp" SO he thinks OF 'Har-
lem aud says IL" The fifth is unable
10 think Of any word beginning with
'.harl." and so loses life. When only
two or three are left In the game II
becomes more exciting each one try
Ing To give the word such n turn that
the next win either not be able to 20
on with II or will be forced 10 COM
plete II When = player cannot go on
and has thus lost a life he may re-
aulre from any one before him to tell
what his word was: otherwise play
er might merely add letter without
thinking of any word ut all.

What Mnther Said

/ know a little girl of nine
q wonder If you've met herb
think IL you should see her once
You never would forget her.
She's such a fussy little girl:
There is so much to fret her.
1t Is so very hard to learn
The tasks her teachers set her.
She wants TO do so many things
Her mother doesn't let her.
But then. when she Is ten years old
Perhaps she may do better.
I'm sure she will not like TO think
When she's little older
How very, very many times
Her mother had to scold her
II she would think about II now
Perhaps 1t might withhold her
From yielding to the fretfnlness
That has so long controlled her.

MUNICIPAL PLANT SUITS
After Bucking Private Electrical Cor
porations in Burlington.

| Burlington, Oct. Huntington will
stop making electricity this week The
citys plant, however, will not be aban.
doned
After many months discussion of the
merits or dement's of continuing the
manufacture of the juice the electric
light commissioners, Frank c. Lyon,
Claude ID. Grafton and A. H. Duhamel,
have reached this conclusion.
The city will hereafter purchase all its
power from its old time competitor, the
Burlington Light 4 Power company For
some time this company and the Fairfax
Power company have endeavored to close
a contract whereby the city would buy
its power from one or the other company.
Proposed clauses in the several contracts
submitted to the commissioners and a
select committee of the board of alder
men attracted so much criticism from
the board or the committee that the
signing of any contract was impossible
From the mass of proposals presented by
owners of surplus juice the decision was
reached to close down the municipal
plant, particularly because of the extra
ordinary expense attached to making
electricity from coal, and accept the last
proposal of the Burlington Light & Pow
er company.
The agreement reached between city
officials and the power company provides
that the city plant will purchase all the
power required by it to carry on the
business of the plant from the company
at a uniform rate of one and one-quarter
cents per kilowatt hour. This is an.
two and three-quarters
cents less than ii costs the city to manu-
faeture electricity at its own plant at
the present price of coal
The city plant, the construction and |
operation of which has cost and saved |
the people of the city large sums of mon
~. will not be dismantled. II is the in |
.ention of the commissioners to keep the |
plant at all times in first class condition |
This is necessary as the agreement be-
.ween the board and the company can be
severed at any time, and also to provide

run over. 1t is contended that the de-

SPORTING NOTES

Arrangements have been made to have
an exhibition game played Thursday be-
tween the Giants and the Cubs. The
Giants closed the season yesterday at
Philadelphia and arrived at Chicago at
noon The game was the last before the
world series.
1t is seven years since the fans of the
West have had the privilege of witness
ing a world series contest. In that year
Detroit and Pittsburg fought a seven
game series for the worlds champion
ship. The last time Chicago had one Of
the classic series was in 1906, when they
won the title of worlds champions.
BY winning the second game of Tues
days double bill with New York, Alex
ander, the PhiIlie pitcher, hung up his
30th win of the year, this making the
third successive year that he has done
SO. In 1915 he won 81 games, while in
1916 he won 80 encounters Cicotte,
Gleason and Collins of the White Sox
witnessed the contest.
There was a great deal of military
aspect present in Tuesdays double bill
between Washington and Boston, when
about 10000 soldiers and sailors were
present to receive consignments of base
ball equipment from Clark Griffith, man
ager of the Senators. Representatives
from the navy yard Camp Burrage, Com
monwealth pier, Harvard radio school,
Bumkins' island and other stations were
present. A collection taken for the bene
fit of the Griffith fund netted the sum
of Sl54. Griffith has done great deal
towards relieving the listless hours of
the boys in the service of Uncle Sam
and is worthy of all praise for his en-

HEFLIN ASSAILED

lions Veracity of the Alabama
Member.

| Washington, Oct. 4.--Reopening the
fight in the House over Representative
| Helms charges against the loyalty OF
certain members, Representative Mason
of Illinois yesterday afternoon attacked
the veracity of the Alabama member on
the floor.
After explaining his two amendments
to the CONSUMPTION law, one of which
would excuse from service in foreign
countries men who were unwilling to
fight in Europe, Mr. Mason said;
when the gentleman (Hefin) said
was trying thus to prevent the president
from raising and maintaining an army,
he said what was untrue and he knew it
was untrue, and he knew it was untrue
when he said it,"
The House was soon in hubbub.
Democratic Leader Kitchin moved that
the words be stricken from the record,
but the House decided, 81 to II, to let
them remain.
Mr.. Hefiin arose and admitted that he
was mistaken when he said that Mason
had attempted to repeal the draft law.
Mason said he would not have made
his statement if his honor and that of
his family had not been attacked
What is your ancestry asked Rep
resentative Almon of Alabama.
Mason answered that it was English
and that his ancestors had fought in
every American war.
"The day war was declared he said,
