“Didn’t know it waa aet for to

“Well, let’s put it off until tomor

the lawyer.
“Cun’t do that,” ruled the court.
“Wo’ll take the state’s testimony to

“Well, you'll have to do it.”

The Came of Zoology Affords Much
Amusement For Boys and Girls.
This game will give all the'more
amusement when played by boys
and girls, because they are not sup
posed to be skillful artists. If their
drawings, therefore, are somewhat
grotesque, all the better for the fun
of the evening.'
Get a large sheet of white card
board and hang it on the wail. Now
give to each player a piece of sil
houette paper about ffve inches
quare and a pencil. tTIic paper
should be black on one sido ami
white on the other.
In one corner of the white side
of the paper writo the name of some
animal—a different one for each
player, of course—and also tho play
er’s number. Direct the players
then to draw with the pencil on the
white side of the paper the animals
assigned to them respectively, and
when tho drawings are completed to
cut them out.
The leader of the game then col-
lccts the figures and with paste or
mucilage attaches them to the card
board on the wall, tho black side of
the figure out, and each figure with
Its number beside it.
Now give to each player a sheet
of paper with numbers written
down the left hand side, as many
numbers aa there are drawings, and
ask them to write opposite to each
number the name of the animal that
the numbered figure is intended to
represent.
Hero is where the fun comes in,
for many of the drawings will prove
to be rather hard to make out. The
player -who guesses the greatest
number of animals receives the
lardhoard as a prize.

Never has the assortment or sum
mer sofa pillows been prettier than
it is Ibis season. The warm weath-
pillow occupies a conspicuous
place in tho furnishings for the
country house. Not only it it pret
ty and artistic in design, but it is
serviceable and practical as well and
can endure tho hardest usage.
The most practical of all the cush
ions is the one with tho button on
cover. Either silk floss or down is
used for filling under the white un
dercover, but the outside must be of
a heavy wash goods—canvas, linen,
crash or other firm fabric. On one
side must be a set of buttons and
buttonholes so that the slip may be
taken off and washed whenever nec
essary.
Pretty designs in tan colored lin
en crash made in an oblong shape
are to be largely used for hammocks
this summer. Many of the cushions
of this style are embroidered in
henry linen with the names of songs
suggestive of warm weather. “In
the Good Old Summer Timo" is a
popular motto, as is slso “Way
Down Yonder In de Cornfield.”
Cotton oriental cushions are
sometimes too bizarre to bo pretty,
but they are soft and comfortable
and are being purchased by a great
many of the country residents.
A heavy blue canvas pillow, rath

the fisher folk during tho hot weath

A/i Experiment Which Seeme te In

A certain farmhouse had a veran
da running along its sixty feet or so
of low browed front. Under this
and over tho door in the center •
psix'or robins built their nest, man
aging to raise their brood in spite
of much tribulation from the con
tinued presence and threatened as
saults of the neighborhood cats.
Well, during tho following sum
mer a-pair of robins, confidently be
lieved to be the old tenants, return
ed to their customary hot weather
resort, made their appearance at the
usual time, hut not to rebuild on the
perilous ledge above tho door. About
a dozen paces from tho porch stands
• well grown acacia tree, wide
branched and thorny. Now, who
ever heard of robini or any other
birds so lost to common prudence

four young robins.
Just below them were closely scat
tered the long, sharp, rigid acacia
thorns, impassable, “uneatable,” and
the neat little nest waa as safe as
the treasury vault.
Did the birds examine the thorns
and comprehend the situation? Did
they reason about it and aay to
themselves, “No thorns on The door,
but plenty of them here, all arrang
ed to suit us, and here we will ait

they may also hereafter laugh at all

It is hard to tell, but at all events
there was the nest, there were tbr
