FOR THE CHILDREN!
Visiting.
I went to vtelt Seth and Paul and little ’,
Theodore. ^ . 1
It was a very pleasant time; I stayed ,
trom one till tour. .
I think I acted mannerly, for when I I
came away , _
The lady who Is mother there said, Come j
again some day."
I walked till 1 was almost home, and then
1 could not wait, .'{
For there was mother standing Just Inside J
the little gate.
The windows and the wide front door
seemed smiling down at me.
There was a very friendly look about the ^
apple tree.
The cat came rubbing at my feet; ehe ,
had not changed at all. .
The hollyhocks looked happy, and the
roses on the wall. 1
The little chickens chirped and scratched
about our bantam hen. '
The lovely part of visiting is coming 1
home again! , i

Marble Games. fcl
Every boy liken to play a good game
of marbles. Here la one that perhapa ^
you do not know. Do you know one 3
called “bounce eye?" It Is played by'Jj
several boys, each of whom puts down
a tnHrble in a small ring. One player J
then stands In a perpendicular posi
tion over the cluster of marbles, and,
taking his own bounce In bis band,
lets It fall from his eye on to the heap,
and those forced out of the ring by
this method nre considered won. If
he does not succeed In this and hla
marble falls within the ring. It belongs
to the common stock and Is there Im
pounded.
There Is another game called "con
queror," which Is extensively played
In some places. A piece of bard
ground, free from stones, Is chosen for
the spot. The first player lays his
marble on the ground, and the second j
throws his own at It with all his force .
and endeavors to break It If he sue- -j
ceeds his marble counts one and the j
vanquished player lays down another ,
marble. If two players have marbles i
that have already vanquished others I
the "conqueror" counts all the con-
quered ot the other party in addition |
to his own. For example, suppose A, ']
being conqueror of twenty, breaks B, |
also a conqueror of twenty, A counts j
forty-one—I. e., twenty of his own, ,
twenty of the vanquished belonging to [
B and one for B.
Taking Pictures.
\ It is necessary to have two persons
know howto play this game. Some
code signal la agreed upon to help dis
tinguish the original of the picture.
One of the two leaves the room,
while the other takes the picture of
another of the guests, which ie done
by holding a spoon or some article
with a polished surface before the
guest’s face whose picture Is to be
taken.
When this Is done the one outside
is called in. given the article used to
take the picture, told to look at it and
tell whose likeness it Is. In a short
time it is guessed correctly. This Is
repeated with the same result, causing
much surprise among tne guests.
Should any one ot those whose pic
tures are being taken think he sees
through the methods employed he may
have a trial, hut in all probability will
fail.
The trick is that the "photographer”
assumes exactly the same attitude as
that of the person whose picture he
has taken.
The Song Sparrow.
The song sparrow is one of the birds
that build their nests on the ground.
Do you know him—a little bird, gray
and brown streaked above and a white
breast covered with brown spots and
stripes'* Have you seen him sitting on
a fence or bush and heard his rollick
ing song? The song sparrow is com
mon all over the United States. From
Maine to California and from Oregon
to Florida he slugs hnpplly six months
out of the year. A regular scout, be
sneaks along the side of a stream and
appears at u distance like magic. He
is equally skillful In hiding his nest
Completely covered by a tuft of grass,
we would almost step on It before we
found It We may truly wonder bow
the song sparrow can And it himself,
but perhaps his eyes are brighter than
ours. The four or flve eggs are small
and heavily spotted with brown, so
that they, too, are hard to see.
Mamma—What In t*e world Is malt
ing the baby cry so, I wonder?" Little
Eva—I guess he’s mad ’cause I tried
to make him smile with your glove
stretcher.—Chicago News.
Domestic) Difficulty.
Old Lady iturning to neighbor dur
ing last act of tragedy)—Eh, mister,
but them ’Amlets ’ad a deal o’ trouble
In their family I—London Punch.
