The games of childhood have undergone
a similar process of evolution. Where
do ‘‘taJ” we see children nownilw? at ni-ivinw
iag, or VI “hopscoteb uoi-scoicn, ” or puss m the
sports’that were the 9 sSe tfonr^S
infancy? These diversions of the L past
are contemptuously thrust aside as
out and slow, and in their stead our
children have invented a number of new
and highly original pastimes which
make their grandparents open their
eyes, and which axe full of tho very
spirit of progress.
There, for example, is the romantic
and exciting game called “The Boy
Bobbers.’’ Its rudiments may be
learned in almost any one of the delight¬
ful books of boyish adventure which are
to be had for a dime, an'] which picture
in glowing colors the dashing exJTniit:; of
“Cutthroat Charley; or, the Boy DeR
perado,” or, “Pilfering Paul and his
Pals; or, the Baby Burglar.” Having
mastered the principles of the game,
each of the players begins by stealing
from his parents or other suitable per
son, as much money as he convenientlv
can, and the proceeds being put iu a
common fund and given in charge to
that one of the players who can “lick”
all the others, is invested in revolvers,
railway tiokets the to New journey. York and rations
of candy for The Boy
Bobbers always seek New York for their
playground because it offers them so
many varieties of sport. They can pur
sue their calling as highwaymen in the
rocky defiles and impenetrable forests of
Central Park; they can fly the blood red
flag of the bucc aneer over the stormy
waters of Gowanus Bay; or, they can
become policemen or alder#nen. Usually,
however, before they have elected be¬
tween these vaxiouB alluring viBtas, their
supply of candy has given out, they
have exchanged their revolvers for
doughnuts, they have grown tired of
sleeping in empty wagons and doorways,
they do not resigned care to play any more, and
are quite to the intervention
of the bauovolent detective who leads
them home by the ear.
The highly amusing game of “arson”
was invented by four nice little boys of
Milwaukee. Lounging under a wood¬
shed one evening and turning over, as
boys will, divers prospects for attaining
that summit of boyish felicity, “fun,” it
occurred to one of them, who had a
match, that a judicious application of it
to the woodshed would be productive of
considerable “fun” in the veiling crowd
and tho clattering fire-engines. The re¬
sult surpassed their expectations, and
every evening the four nice little boys
met and had some more “fun” of the
same sort, until half the barns and
woodsheds in Milwaukee were burnt up
for their amusement. Unluckily the
owners of the property destroyed were
totally destitute of a sense of humor,
aud discovering tho game of the four
nice little boys, with the worst disregard
of grown-up people for the feelings of
the young, had them sent to the reform
school until they come of age. In spite
of this momentary check to the flow of
youthful spirits, Milwaukee offers un
common attractions to boys of a playful
and original temper. It supports a paper
for the express purpose of instructing
boys in new games of the progressive
sort, which becoming* no boy can read faithfully
without such an adept in
lying, disobedience, malice, theft and
other graceful accomplishments, as must
ensure for him a useful and distinguished
manhood and a prominent position
either in Congress or the penitentiary.
These games, it will be seen, are
mostly for little boys. Nearer home we
find a new pastime, in which boys and
girls take part, and which is known as
“marrying in fun.” One boy girl pretends play
to be a minister, and a boy and
that they are bride and groom. Then
the pretended minister makes believe to
read the marriage service, and the pre¬
tended bride and groom make believe
they are husband and wife. There is a
good deal of incidental kissing and hug¬
ging and lolling in hammocks, and gen¬
erally a contempt for 6aered things and
a soiling of feminine delicacy which is
uproariously funny and may be made
almost as amusing to the parents of the
players as to the latter themselves.
Such are our children’s pastimes to¬
day. Is it any wonder that the prisons
are full and the divorce courts never
idle?

He Ecat netl a Lesson.
Commercial travelers are generally
jolly fellows, and get along very easily
with all sorts of curious customers, but
occasionally run afoul of a ®ag and get
tripped up when tiny leapt expect it.
Ono day a “drummer ’ whef had been
doing a small town, sat iu tho bar-room
of a leading hotel aud kept all the “set¬
tlers” roaring at the adventures and
stories lie told. Presently an innocent
looking youth said:
“Say, boss, what line are you in?”
“Fish-line,” promptly replied the
drummer.
This tart answer rather confused the
young man, and he muttered something
about “somebody thinks be’a darned
smart, but lie can’t play me for a suck¬
er,” and retired in disgust.
A few months afterward the drum

so curtly during lus previous vjjsit. The
country chap in the meantime had full
en heir to several .hundred dollars, be
sides gammg considerable
sense, and he appeared quite a swell as
he sat there in the bar-room loqking
upon the commercial traV
e.ler. The latter now caught sight of
him and politely said: I ask
“Bv flip way, stranger, may

“You may,” curtly responded the
y°toh- '•
Well, sir,” hesitatingly it?^* saii the
drum mor, << what is
“O, I’m minding."
For once in his life the commercial
man was puzzled, and, with an air of
curiosity, “Did inquired:
I understand you to say you
werfe mindfrig?”
“Yes, minding.”
This was said w ith an air of candor
that it did not give the drummer the
faintest suspicion that they might be a
“catch” somewhere, aud he blurted out
with:
“Minding what?”
“Minding my own business, now.”
The “fish-line” traveler at once saw
the point and acknowledged the corn,

t^irkoy, liikj, luiving scuied liimstif, lie
placed his turkey in him. a sitting position filled on
the me iteat seat, beside nemue mm. The xno car ear iuiea
were compelled to stuud. tiui turkey
kept its seat^ guarded hy its burly
owner. When the conductor came
through the Car, he noticed the turkey,
and, addressing the man, said : “You
will have to take that turkey up.”
“What for?”
“To let some of these people sit down.
You can’t keep him ou that seat.”
“What’s the reason I can’t?”
“Because these people are as much
entitled to a seat as is your turkey.”
“Well, who said they weren’t ? This
turkey ain’t bothering any one and I’d
like to see any one bother him.”,
“You’ll have to take him up, anyhow ;
he isn’t a passenger.”
“No, he isn’t. He’s a duced sight
better than the average passenger you
carry. He’s clean, he ain’t telling all
he knows, he isn’t drunk, he don’t smell
of tobacco, and he don’t spit all over the
floor.”
By this time all the passengers were
laughing, and the peculiar appearance
of the turkey, as he sat bolt upright
with his legs spread out on the seat,
added to the merriment. The con
ductor, annoyed at the laughter, excit
edly said : “Every seat in this car that’s
occupied has got to Ire paid for; now
you take that turkey up, or get out.”
“I won’t do it. Here’s a ticket for
hlm . and see that you punch zt. I
guess it don't make mnch difference to a
railroad twmfttu y what kind of an
animal eewipies a seat so long as it’s
