with an opportunity to make a noise,
which, for aome reason or another,
eemi to ba tha acme f delight for a
treat many. In this (m half the
company are blindfolded and put alt
tin -down with a Vacant chair bealde
each one. At a given signal th piano
starts aome familiar tune and imme

Another game that afforded us much
fun in our, Childhood was entitled
"Mrs Medea Is Dead." The players
at in a circle -and bne began with a
very sad face to announce "Mra. Mc
Gee Is dead." Immediately the neigh
bor to tha left asked, "How did she
die?" and the first replied, "With one
finger up, Just like this V making
the action to suit the words. The
query and response went right rou mi

the sama statement and question were

to "With one finger up and one blind

o again arouna ine circie.
third repetition the answer camo
"With one finger up and one blind
eye and her mouth all awry," and this
time the players twisted their faces
as absurdly as possible.
Probably by this time there was
considerable difficulty In keeping
from laughing, as all tha players were
looking absolutely absurd. However,
the crowning effort was required at
the laat repetition, when the descrip
tion of Xh lamented laJy's demiea
was with one finger up and one blind
eye "and her mouth all awry, shivering
and shaking just like I," and all fie
players looked as idiotic as ponsiruo,
shaking from head to foot as though
they had palsy.
Of course, the object in this game
was to keep serious, for every one who
laughed or forgot to act the pait
when giving the description was fined
a forfeit Or else marked a bad point,
the winner naturally being the con
testant who was quite perfect, or at
least had the fewest bad marks to
his credit.

Sell W.it Pn I
By Ella McMunn.
This morning I went through 'six
blocks of wonderful smells the pub
lie market and from the first stall
where a man was bathing some rad
ishes clear down the line to where a
box of clams were reaching out of
their shells for adventure and yet
-withdrawing hastily at the slightest
prospect of fulfillment, I minced
along and marveled. The funniest
thing I saw was what appeared to to
be a bath sponge lying alongside of
some meat, and I wondered if times
really were ao hard that people ate
those because they made such a last
ing diet. But before the clerk an
swered me he asked where I came
from, and when I said "near Salem,"
he smiled and told me what every
thing else was In the store, and that
the sponge was a cow's .stomach. But
I'd like to know the Joke about Salem,
for Just now I can't think of much
about It except that you can go to
bed there at 7 o'clock and sleep all
night and the next day If you want
to, and you don't have to shut your
window to keep the noise out, or put
a pillow over your off ear to shut
out the hiss of the steam pipes and
your bed doesn't feel like a slab at
the undertaker's.
Guaranteed Errs There.
At the next place X saw what
looked like a bowl of Grass Au Tep
11 tz rose buds, but when a man
stabbed one of them with his pocket
knife and the blood rushed out I had
to look quickly at aome calm, cool tur
nips and some guaranteed eggs that
had the hen's nam or something on
the shell.
A "Baby Beer sign drew a lot of
people and ao did the baby beers
father and mother hanging up by
their heels with their heads and hides
off and a lot of holly wreaths on
them and some flowers carved on
their sides. If only there had been
some music it would have been al
mbst as nice as a funeral. Then
there were a lot of little rabbits with
blood on their heads where they had
been clubbed to death to save bul
lets. Their bowela were gone but
they still had fleas. Although when
I left there were not ao many on the
rabbits no, certainly not on the
rabbits.
One man urgently requesteed ma to
buy a dead chicken, and when I
had exhausteed alt my "arguments
against It, it occurred to me tc in
quire what was the cause of tha
chicken's death, and It took ma 20
minutes to explain to him that hav
ing noted no marks of violence upon
tha fowl I wondered bow he had
caused It to pass away and still look
so life-like, without any feathers and
with a bunch of parsley under one
wing like a bride's "arm bouquet." I
think I made peace, anyway be apol
ogized when he saw that tha wet
mackerel he waved had allppad out of
bis hands and landed upon my shoe.
At one place they had wooden
pincers to handle the smelliest . of
the fish but a woman wanted to poke
them with her fingers Ao she had to
wipe her hands on the clerk's apron,
but even then Bhe needed a finger
bowl, lacking which she kept thrust
ing her fingers Into the hearts of the
moist lettuce leaves.
They Tell a Story.
But all of the talk down there
wasn't about "cabbages and kings,"
for two men, sent unwillingly to mar
ket by their wives, were talking about
same prominent society people of the
North End, and if anybody didn't
know where that was, they had only
to stop and look at some pumpkins or
j hominy or something near by, for the.
I man who was hearing the story was
jverV deaf, and the man telling It was
not and had good lungs and both were
(lawyers. Throughout the killing re
' cital they reached down into a keg
of kraut and let vinegar drip over
'their chins while they talked, and the
; story must have been a long one, for
as I looked back I could see ever ao
many people buying kraut and hom
iny and cabbages at that stall.

Winter Trouble.
EARLY WINTER 13 SUCH a beau
tiful time of tha year that one
would think it was & happy time
for everyone man or beast. The trees,
aa they gradually abed' their - golden
dresses and make ready for the win
ter's Test look happy; tha akiet are
rosy and clear and tha fields look
smiling and restful after their sum
mer's work. All the little woods', peo
ple have their cupboards filled for the
winter-time and are ready for play
when the aun shines warm. It doesn't
sound like a time of trouble does it?
And it wouldn't be a time of trouble
either, if only folks understood about
the woods creatures and cared for
them aa they should be, cared for; in
deed it wouldn't be!
But unfortunately all folks don't
understand, and so the beautiful autumn-time
brings trouble for our
friends In the woods.
Foxy Squirrel knew that -trouble
was likely to come, because he re
membered the happenings of last year;
Toppy Cottontail knew, that his care
free days wouldn't last all winter be
cause he, too, remembered. But the
woods folk never worry about trouble
till trouble comes and even then they
do not really worry, they only do all
they can to protect themselves from
danger. And really, when you never
worry about trouble till it comes, you
save yourself a lot try it and aee it
yon don't!
So, even though he knew that dan
ger might come any day. Foxy had
played as happily as could be and
hadn't worried a mite. But one morn
ing, when the aun shone so brightly
that all the world should have been
happy and at peace, he heard the sound
that told him danger was near. Of
course, you know what he heard he
heard 'the sound of a gun,! The roar
rumbled through the bare branches of
the trees and echoed clear through
Shadow Woods. ,
Foxy didn't wait to figure out what

lie went up the tree on the side
away from the noise of the gun.
he had better do, no slrl He Just
scampered up the tree and into bis
nest as fast as ever he could go, that's
what he did. And I'll tell you how
he went; he went up the tree on the
side away from the noise of the gun-
on the side away. Maybe you haveV
noticed tnat yourself; If a squirrel Is
afraid of you, he will run up his tree
on the aide away from where you are
standing. If he runs up on the side
nearest you, he is telling you as plain,
ly aa If he spoke, that he la your
friend - and that he Is afraid of you
no longer.
After Foxy reached the shelter of
his nest, he began to plan how he
could help his friend Toppy Cotton
tall, for ha knew that the gun meant
trouble for Toppy more than for any
one else. "I must think of a way to
help Toppy, I must!" he thought.
Tomorrow -Toppy is Warned.
