And to think that Alice accuses
me of knowing the pearls were real

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
By Olive Roberts Barton

The next riddle that the Riddl
Lady asked in Riddle Land was this
See if you can guess it as quickly a
Nick did.
"There is chap know well,
Who travels through the skies.
He sails along from light to dark,
| And he is wondrous wise.
''He is so wise he's lost his hair
From thinking this and that.
As he rolls round up in the air;
And he is-bald and fat.
"Bald and fat he is, sir,
Yes, he is fat and bald.
Another Humpty Dumpty,
I've often heard him called.
when he gets up he calls down,
its daylight, folk, awake!
The days begun, roll out of bed,
Get dressed, for goodness sake!
"And feed your pigs and chickens,
And milk your brindle COW,
And give your horse bag of oats,
Ere he goes out to pillow.
"'And all you brides wake, too,
And ope your sleepy eyes,
And all the bugs and beetles,
And flowers and butterflies.
"'And all the squirrels and rabbits
And fishes in the pool,
And all the little girls and boys
Who have to 60 to school,
'He peeps in all the windows,
He hates q sleepy-head!
And if perchance he finds one,
He turns a fiery red.
"But mostly his complexion,
Is golden, shining yellow,
Now if you've no objection,
Please name, this jolly fellow"
Z "Who is it," asked the Riddle
Lady.

Lady. Tts just fellows like yor
and your brother, Sleepy Head, that
make Mister Sun cross. Why do you
always wait awhile ?"

the other players. The draw is fin
ished by East, who draws one extra.
Thus each hand contains IL tiles,
except that Of East, which contains
Ia.
Each player now arranges his
hand buy suits, dragons and winds,
placing together all those of kind.
Each player should see only his
own hand This can be accomplished
by setting his tiles on end and near
his own edge of the table, or by
the use of racks.
The Nah Jongg racks are q coa-
tribution Of American ingenuity.
For 5000 years the Chinese, played
without accessories, but in one year
Americans have added special tables,
racks, pencils, score sheets, counter
holders, table covers and doubling
scales. The doubling scale is on the
rack, and enables player to deter
mine his score at glance rather
than by the sometimes long process
Of multiplication and addition in-
volved in scoring without racks.

emit On the one hand President Coolidge must demonstrate
big capacity for leadership and executive ability make
HIM formidable candidate for the Presidency He has
already won the respect of large number of of the
country by his recommendations for the reduction
taxation and revision of the nations laws maintain the
country on an even prosperous keel and to make possible
quicker REIMBURSEMENT of the nations affairs His campaign
must necessarily be fought out in Washington and he will
be Judged solely on his record
AT this time the progressive bloc in Congress engaged
in obstructionst tactics There is the possibility for the
La Toilette group to gain advantage from their
and to go before the voters of the nation with claim OF
accomplishment But if this group confines it's activities
solely to obstruction if it to dsorganize the Republican
majority in the national Congress that the sound proposals
of the President will fall the group will be utterly dis
credited
The Democratic group hopes to gain through Republican
EMBARRASSMENT But recognizing the normal desire
of the Democrats to place the party strategic position
for the 1924 campaign it hardly thnkabe that the great
body of voters will show respect for legislators who
allow partisan personal consideration be the chief
motive for their cations.
