When I go on an errand I always think it fun To step on all the sidewalk cracks Or else to step on none The corner store Is three blocks down, And sometimes all the way I step on every single crack Each time I go that day. Another time IVA keep off cracks, And then I play for fun I'll fall right through to China If I hut step on one When I go on an errand It makes It more like play To keel. on cracks or keep off cracks And shortens up the wuy.

Erich player Is requested to write on a card or slip of paper the name of some well known womnn in history or (teflon or In modern life. These are dropped into a basket, and ail are then asked to write upon another set of papers the names of certain men whose names and careers are familiar to the average person. These papers are put in a stkond basket and well mixed, and both are passed around. Each player draws one paper from each basket and cudgels his wits to write ft brief story. bringing In the names of the man and woman which he has drawn as hero and heroine. The most impossible and ridiculous the better, fine person who drew \Rip Van Winkle\ and \Xnntippe\. r_ejtrennti Rip's . wite_ Is a rtiii:arqa Game of Nonsense. The company being seated In a dr He. one starts by whispering to hi , oelghbor on his left an article; this ont whispers to the cue on the left an ad lective; he whispers to the one ott to: left a noun, and each whispers to tin, inie on the left the following parts of speech in regular order: An article. all adjective, a noun singular, a verb, an adverb, a number, another adjective , and a noun plural, the last one emility by whispering to the first. When each has had the weird whis- pered in his or her ear the second one tells his word aloud, then the third. fourth, and so on. until a complete sen- tence Is spoken. . The first player whispers the article a. second one the adjective magnifi cent, third one the noun leopard, fourth one the verb contemplated, fifth one the adverb pensively. sixth one the number nineteen, seventh one another adjective. exasperated, and the eighth one a noun in plural, kangaroos, to fin- ish the sentence. Each one now speaking his whisper- ed word aloud, the nonsense is: \A magnilcent leopard contemplated pensively nineteen exasperated kanga woe.\ H. Knew His Name. Among the stories told from time to time to illustrate the intelligence of dogs none is more charming than this Utile auesdote. said to be true, of the dog belonging to the poet Whittier: One day when the poet was celebrat- ing his birthday he was visited by a woman who was a fine singer. On be lug asked to sing this woman seated herself at the piano and began the beautiful song called \Robin Adair.\ While she was singing Mr. Whittler's pet dog came into the room, and, seat- ing himself by the woman's side, he listened with unusual attention to her song. When she had finished be came and put his , paw very gently Into her hand and licked her cheek. • \Robin has taken that song as a trib• ute to hlinself.\ said Mr. Whittier, \for his mime is also Robin Adair.\ The dog, having heard his own name In the song, seemed to think that It was 1111 for his benefit. From that mo- ment and during all the woman's visit he was her devoted attendant. He kept at her side while she was indoers. and when she went away he carried her satchel in his mouth, with every evidence of distress. Lemons—A Game. Any number may play at lemons. Two of them stand aside. joining hands like the arch In London bridge. They represent the squeezer. The oth- er players are the lemons, and they stand at some distance from the squeezer. The squeezer sings: Some lemons I want for the freezer. CORP% Itiley ones: come to the squeezer. They keep on singing this refrain. while the lemons creep nearer and nearer. Suddenly one of them darts through the arch. If the squeezer is quick enough the lemon is caught and squeezed and stands aside. out of the game, while the squeezer sings: A juicy lemon—squeeze him dry. We'll have another by and by. But if the lemon gets through un- caught the squeezer sings: Bee. the lemon's passed us by! To catch another we must try. _ If the squeezer fails three times It Is worn out and a new one must take its place. In this way the game can be kept up for a long time, for it is seldom that all the lemons get caught. Money In Birds' Nests. A small boy of Caldwell. N..1.. Is the richer by $10 for the fact that some sparrows chose to build their nests in the attic windows of his home. John Bowman is his name, and it all came about when some sparrows annoyed his mother 4o much that she told hite to destroy their nests that had been built in the windows on the top floor. John went ahead to do so. like an obedient son, but he was somewhat surprised to find that inside the first nest was a tiny scrap of a ten dollar bill. John didn't think much of this, but he be- came interested when he went on and found that in the other nests were other pieces of the note. Seemingly the colony of the birds had divided the booty between them. John went on to collect all the pieces of the bill be could and then sent them on to the treasury department at Washington to be re- deemed. The Brialca's 'fail. This is a Japanese game for chil- dren and is played as follows: The children form a line. each resting his bonds on the shoulders of the player in front: One, who is the catcher, stands alone. The first player on the line Is called the head and the last the tall. When the game begins the catcher stenda some distance away from the head and at a given signal tries to catch the tall, or end player, without pushing anybody elTie. The others de- fend the tall Ely moving about In any way they chooae, except that the line must not be broken, for should it break the tail is considered caught and must become catcher, while the catch- er goes to the head.
