m a lls Washington at Valley Forge.
The plight of the Continental
army became ao desperate that
Washington finally sent General
Knox and Captain Sargeant to ex
plain their condition to congress.
It will he remembered that Gen
eral Knox was very generously pro
portioned and It happened that Cap
tain Sargeant was far from wearing
tatters. One member of congress
noted this and remarked that In
spite of the tale of starvation and
rags he bad seldom noted a gentle
man ao fat and one ao welt dressed.
" It la true," said General Knox
“for out of respect, the choice was
made of the only man who had an
extra ounce of flesh and the only
one who had a whole salt of clothes.”
GAM E OF HUNT
Directions for playing: Four players or two
with two men each cun play this game. Use small
buttons for men. Place these on the left hand
numbers one. two. three and four. The object la
to get theae meo from the starting place at the
left aide of the play board to the corresponding
numbers on the right aide, without retracing a
step, or Jumping one. That la each man must
■tart from hla original numbered point, move up
ward and around through the white spaces only,
until he readies the same number on the other
aide of the diagram. No player can move onto
a apace with another. Two spaces must he moved
at a time. If player moves an aa to block himself
by black spacea. none of which can be Jumped, he
must go bark to the beginning and start again.
The drat man to get safely to bla flnlah wins the game. Itemember, no black spaces can be Jumped, no player
ran muve backwards, and no player can move diagonally. He must move hla men either directly forward
or directly to the aide. Every player must use white spaces only.

Season Near for Fossil
Hunts in Oregon Wilds
John Day. Ore.—It will soon be ele
phant hunting time In Oregon. The
elephants are fossilised, but neverthe
less are hunted as enthusiastically by
scientists In the famed John Day de
posits as are the live ones of the A fri
can Jungle. A "rush" Into the fields
occurs every spring.
"I am going to ask you to rise nnd
stand while I read the list of our mem
bers who have been taken from us by
death during the past year.”
The Indies rose to their feet, but
scarcely had the secretary begun to
read when a wave of Intense agita
tion ran through the room.
“J saw her only yesterday,” cried
one women in a startled voice.
"My heavens 1" almost shrieked an
other. "She took dinner with me last
night."
It developed that the secretary had
made a mistake. She was reading the
list of those who had, for one reason
and another, resigned from the club.
But the members, while relieved, are
still suffering from nerves.
