Haines of the wuperior court at Middletown Wednesday of this week, to show cause why they thould not be committed to jall for con- empt of court.

When we are young it is the playtime of our Jives and all the games and sports we enjoy help us to grow strong and de- velop in body and mind. Wide-Awakes need healthful, happy play just as much as they need to eat and sleep. TYoung animals, too, just like children, have their games. I am sure that those of the Wide-Awakes who live- in the country have seen little lambs play. They have a favorite game called king-of the castle. One little black-face fellow will post himseif on the ton of a little mound of earth and all his brothers and sisters and cousins will do their best to get him offt. Then they will play follow-my- leader around trees and un banks. and round and round their mothersgin the funniest way. You can see lithHe pigs, too, romp for hours; chasing round and round as if they were playing tag, stop- ping. suddenly with funny little grunts, and then twisting around and dashing off again. A man had a cat and dog that played hide-and-seek in the dining room as well as any children could. The cat would hide first. while the dog Was ‘suppose not to be looking. and then Rover would set out to hunt her out.. He would go to all the places first where he knew she was not, and then suddénly pounce on her place of concealnfent. and the cat would spring’ out and hit him on the nose, and rush off to a fresh hiding place. The dog would presently take his turn, and the cat would always ®id him in- stantly,as though she wanted to be the hider all the time. S Wild animals nlay as well. You have seen seals in the circus play football by tossing the ball from one to.another and catching it on their noses, and ho\? eager each ome is to have his turn. In their native haunts they are said to have great sport coasting down an icy toboggan into deep water and going back time after time for another slid& -Otters, like, seals, are also experts on shooting the chute and otter slides can be found in remote parts of the river banks. A favorite game of badgers.is like that played by the lambs in king of the castle, but the badgers make a regular rough and tum- ble fight of it before the one on the summit is thrown off. ‘was. Jack Age 12 Visit to a Farm - Dear Uncle Jed: I am going you abéut- my. visit to a farm. _ It was one Sunday afternoon when my mothér, my two sisters, my father and my triend ‘Beatrice, took a .walk to visit a friend on a farm. After having drank of ‘cold well - water and.a glass of milk she showed us round the . house. The old: furniture was lovely. In one. room there-was.a book case that covered the whole wall. from the floor to the ceiling. It was filled with old and rare volumes of Harper's Magazines dated back to 1850. They are-all in good :condition. On the walls were paintings of Gen- erals Lee and Grant and - also an old painting of President Lincoln and his family. There were also some very old oil paintings of the late owner and his family. Tcould have stayed there all day and’ just looked around. Then we went out of doors and teok several snapshops of the house, . dog. cowand horse. The cats we could not get because they refused to pose. After that we' went into the fields to play on some old tree stumps with Watch, the dog. - While we were playing Watch started to bark and run. Looking round we saw a deer in the field. We all gave chase, but- it soon was out of sight. “After that taking a few more pictures, we-went in and listend to'the victrola after* which we started for home, tired but hapoy ‘and wanting to go again.

As school had just closed, my older brother offered to furnish the money if Laury and myself wanted to stay the rest of the week.

Of course, the old business. of - collecting nests and birds’ eggs is out of date, no fellow does it any more. ¥ Most boys who are worth their salt want to do something that hasn’t been done before, or, at least, somethmf that hasn’t often been done before. All the better if it's something of real use. Good series of photographs of birds on their nests are valuable for scienti- fic purposes. There are quite a lot of birds who have been photographed on their nests, but these are generally ground-dwelling or bush-dwelling birds. Take a compartively easy one, first, such as a crow’s nest. Have you ever figured what a job it would be to find one so situated that you could build a permanent blind on a tree near by, and as to on the nest? Then, to have a long piece of fish-line running all the way down the tree to a blind on the ground, so that you could make the exposure at exactly the same minute, every day, for a month? Then, climb the tree, after dark, 1:::: That crows were asleep, to or roll to a fresh film? whole S; s work. But if you it, the record would be valuable ence, and, incidentally, worth a money.
