\ k_ , FOR THE CHILDREN The Newcomer. Ob. newer mind If your clothes aren't so fine As the rest of the boys'l You can have • Gotha of mine If you want them to wear. I'll just lend some, you see. And any time you can return the m to me. I'll be your friend if you want me for one. So never you mind what the boys may have done. They're pretty good boys, and they J oked you. It's true, But they never have thought how It sounded to you, Bo I wouldn't care Oh, never mind when they laugh at your hair! Boys laugh so easy and don't seem to - , care, Till somebody thinks how it feels when you're new To have other old boys all laughing at you. My hair was red once—almost—and, you see, When I first came here they made, fun of me. But now they don't care any more, and they call Me \Reddy.\ Hut It's only a nickname; that's all, So I wouldn't care. Oh, never mind if you didn't know what To answer the teacher right there on the spot! I was s0 scared on the first day I came I hardly was able to tell her my name, And all the boys laughed when I tried and I tried To answer and couldn't and sat down and cried. But they came at recess, and they said not to mind. Because they'd not meant to be really un- kind. So I wouldn't care. Oh, never mind if It seems kind of blue! I was new once, and I felt just like you. All the boys do on the very lirst day, But they don't keep it up, for it soon wears away. One of these days you will think with a smile Just how bad you have felt. You don't after awhile. I have an apple if you want a bite. Why, everything's going to come out all right, Bo I wouldn't care. —Youth's Companion. The Auctioneer. This game is played by any number of persons, one of whom acts as auc- tioneer. Each of the other players writes on a slip of paper the name of some article and folds It over to hide what he has written. The auctioneer then marks one of the slips and adds a blank one, making one more slip than there are persons playing, and mixes them all together in a hat. Each of the company In turn draws a slip, and he who gets the blank Ss put up at auction by the auctioneer. each player bidding the article on his slip. The holder of the marked slip gets the person knocked down to him. lie may then require his purchase to perform some trick or feat, and after that the game is repeated. The auctioneer. instend- of marking a slip. may simply open one and look at It. afterward accepting the bld of the person who draws whenever It may be offered. Otte slip always re- mains In the hat. The auctioneer should look at it. and if It be the blank or the marked slip all most be shuf- fled over and the players draw again. The auctioneer should give a corn feat description of the person to be sold, praising his appearance and good qualities, and may also be required to give n reason for accepting the bid which buys him. Cablegrams. This is how to play cablegrams: A certain man went to Europe leav- ing his family at home. lie was either too Indolent or too busy to write often But he could not afford to cable lengthy dispatches, and so he wrote his wife that he could condense each cable gram into a single word by using only initial letters. The first message be sent was \B R 0 W N.\ While he was congratulating himself upon out the cable company by sending five words in one the family at borne were distraeled over theft varying interpretations of the message Ills daughter thought It meant \Bought ring on Wednesday night\ and began guessing just what kind of it ring it was Ills wife in her anxiety read R. \Big rain out wet neuralgia.\ Other guess- es at the intended meaning differed quite as widely. In playing the game any word may be used Instead of \Brown.\ Let the leader, who is supposed to be the tray-- eier. announce the word. keeping the meaning to himself, and let each play' er write his guess of the intended meaning on a slip of {miler. If there are prizes the one who offers the near- est guess wins. The Long Way Around. There were two barges that were to be taken to a point forty-seven miles away. but it took them a long time to get there. They had to go 10.500 miles In order to gel to that nearby point. You see, they were down at the isth- mus of Panama. at the Atlantic end of the new canal. and they were to he taken to the Pacific end. But the canal Is not finished, and so it could not car. ry the boats. which were too big to go by railroad without being taken to pieces. So they had to be towed all the way around the end of South America -the south end, that is -and come up the other side. Music Math Charms. Many animals show a fontinesa for Male. and there are ancient stories of men who have subdued the fiercest wild beasts by soothing . them with sweet sounds. Shy RR the deer Is. it has been known to stand and listen to the Round of the bagpipe, and a herd of twenty stags Was seen following a pipe and violin, going forward while the MUSIC played tied standing still when It stooped. TRUE IRISH BULLS. They Have a Pungent Flavor Pe- culiar to the Green Isle. BLUNDERS LINKED WITH WIT. All Nations Mix Metaphors and Per- petrate Self Contradictory Figures of Speech, but the Emerald Brand Holds the Prize For Point and Vig or. In \BooIlls Ancient and Modern.\ J. C. Percy. the author, contrasts the rnglisti and Irish variety to the ad vantage of the latter. Although the most diverting bulls are usually fa thered upon Irishmen. they have not by any means a monopoly. Ait nations mis metaphors and fall into self eon tradictory toluuders Englishmen make bulls probably just as often its Irish- men, but there is a difference. The English ones are seldom amusing The Irish ones almost always are. Mr. Gladstone mover hinted at Irish blood in his veina, yet he once warned on M Dalt it MIS 110 use for him \to shake his bead he the teeth of his own words\ Mr. Balfour has spoken of \an empty theater of unsympathet- ic auditors\ Lord Randolph Chin:chill referred to an item of national credit 11111 \a mero.o Ilea bite In the ocean ot our expenditure.\ If further proof be called for It was a Yorkshireman who told a meeting of shareholders In some place of entertainment at Leeds. that \they had been catering for a class which does not exist and which now goes to Bradford.\ it was an English ehnIrman of n railway company who said \It woold pay better to carry third class passengers for nothing rather than let the tramways get t hem \ Why Is It. then, that bulls are sup posed to be native to Ireland? it can hardly be for the reason that they are supposed to take their mune from certain Obadiah Bull. an Irish howls ter. who practiceol In Londoon during the eighteenth century. Mr. Percy SC eplitR this derivation. though there is another which relates the name with the traditional remark of the timid woman who was \afraid to cross a field full of cows in ease one of them might he a boil.\ That has the flavor of the true Irish hull It is pungent. stiarp to the point. The meaning flashes out quick and clear. Other hulls result from a lark of oil In the headworks Irish bulls are really due to mental quickness. which takes a short cut rather than the high road and relies upon the hearers to show equal agility, That IN why they leave an Impression, while the 1111118 of other nations pass unnoticed or fade directly from the mind. here, for example. is a delightful ellipse One woman. describing nnoth. er. said: \She would folk the head ofl you. I ana hoorSP listening to her Most of us have felt that, but ft need ed real wit to phrase it so aptly Quite as Amoy. though less witty. Was the advice given to cyclists in an Irish Paler. '\Fhe best way to pass a to iv on the road when cycling is to keep be hind it.\ One is reminded of the Wan Who said there Wits only one way to make a donkey follow you -that was to go behind and push The same writ er on cycling once selected \a shady nook and basked there in the sun shine\ It was he, too. who described some one its having 'Peel , . ed \a grand reception when he went away.\ In Irish political speeches bulls abound The speakers are carried away by their subjects and their eh) u neure Ima g es ipap to their lips and are uttered before their invongruity has been moticed \Why.\ asked Sit Thomas Myles iii Dii mum durIng the' It, war -\why shoold Irishmen stand with their arms folded and their hands In their pockets when England calls for aid?\ Lord Russell of killowen Was denouncin g a coercion iii II in ISM and its interference with free speech \If thla measure is passed,\ he declar- ed. \no man In Ireland will be able to speak on polities unless he is born deaf and dumb\ Mr O'Shea. M P., drew a piteous picture of the desolation of ii farm In Ireland. \Is it not a fact.\ he asked. \that the only living R11111111IS on this farm are the seagulls which fly over it?\ In every one of these cases the bull. far from being a source of confusion. adds immeesely to the effect of the ar gument. There are bulls, however even in Ireland. which nre born of sheer nouldiebeadeduess. Such was the remark of the Dublin universtty fresh mini Whit Watt dared to -iepp - a broad and muddy ditch In College park. \Sure.\ he said. \if I jumped across that I would bill In the middle before I got halfway.\ That was ver- bal carelessness It was something more than this -It was inability to think clearly-whit:1i made an old lady say one Sunday when the porch was inconveniently crowded after church, \If everybody else would do as I (10 and stay quietly in their seats till ev- ery one had gone omit there would be no etaish at the door\ In between these comes R OARS Of hnmil Which is neither illuminating nor emifusing, but which arises from a constitutional bluntness of intellect To this rlasa beloonga the reply of R iiervant to her mistress' question, \W ho was that at the front door?\ \A gen- tleman Molting for the wrong house. tila'a Ole Sena 11 I maid \I did not know the man was alive stop I saw Ina death In the paper.\ is another in.
