Sam ltlythe has taken a greater jileastire than all others in roasting the various members of con- gress. and as a result he was not a lit- tle chagrined at the following incident just before the Baltimore convention. He was standing near the Belvedere hotel when he was recognized by a neivspaper photographer, who imme- diately hustled him aside and snapped his likeness. Seeing what was going on; another photographer, representing a Baltimore paper and who thought he might be missing something good, hur- ried up and asked who the victim was. \Sam Blythe,\ was the answer. \Well who In thunder is Sam Blythe—one of these congressmen?\ And the political writer nearly fainted.— New York World. FOR THE CHILDREN On Counting Cracks. When 1 go nn an errand I always think term' To step on all the sidewalk cracks Or else to step on none. The corner store Is three blocks down. And sometimes all (he way 1step on every single crack Each time I go that day-. Another time it's keep off cracks, And then I play for fun fall right through to China If I but step on one. When I go on an errand It makes it more like play To keep on cracks or keep off cracks And shortens up the way. But today 1 had a penny, And I went clear down and back And never thought a 'Ingle thing About no crack or crack. —Philadelphia Record. Definitions. This game cannot be called new, for it Is said to base been played at the court of Charlemagne and while it has been long popular in France. Is but little known elsewhere. In its modern form paper and pen- cils are distributed to the pinyera and each Is asked to write a question or ask for a definition. The papers are then folded and thrown into a basket from which each player draws one and each must write an answer to the question that has fallen to Ms or her lot. The privilege of signing an assumed name is given. When at each round of the game the questions and answers are read aloud by the leader or hostess and voted upon, one is sometimes glad of the incognito. The one whom the majority declare the cleverest In defi- nition must \own up\ and revolve a prize. Here are a few examples: What is luck? Other people's sue cess. What is good intention? A ladder that is too short. What is love? Heart disease. What is pluck? Fighting with a bro- ken sword. About Marbles. There have been playthingis about as long as there have been children The two go together. The queer thing about it is that toys haven't changed much in centuries. Of course the little Boman boys in the time of the Caesars did not have toy Mean% engines and things like that. but they had little charlots—some of them dld -which conies to the same thing. And mar- bles are older than Rome. You would not be willing to play with the pieces of burnt clay that boys of olden times used. The first tour bles that American boys used anyway were not of this kind. These play things of 200 or 300 years ago were manufactured in the German'tountrles They were real pieces of marble smoothed Into spheres. Later burnt clay was used and marbles because cheaper. But the best of them are still made of stone. Most of them come from Germany. A Mystifying Trick. Request any person to think of some hour of the day. Tell him to deduct it from twenty and remember the re- mainder. You take out your watch and inform him that you are going to count around on the dial and that when you have counted the number correspond- ing with the remainder that he was to remember he must stop you. For example: Suppose he thought of o'clock. Five taken from twenty leaves fifteen as remainder You now count (mentally, not aloud), skipping as you point with a pencil to the va Mous hours on the dial. but taking care at (lie eighth count to point to 12, and after that In regular rotation backward to the left When you come to the figure 5 you will be stopped, as that will be the fifteenth count correspond lug to the remainder—fifteen, which he was to remember. You will thus know that 6 o'clock was the hoer thought of. Secret History. Each player is requested to write OD a card or slip of paper the name of some well known woman In history or fiction or In modern life. These are dropped into a basket, and all are thee asked to a - rite upon another set of papers the names of certain men whose names nod careers are familiar to the average person. These papers are put in a second basket and well mixed, and both are passed around Each player draws one paper from each basket and cudgels his wits to write a brief story. bringing in the names of the man and woman %%stitch he has drawn as hero and heroine The most Impossilde and ridicolons the bet I or.
