Uncle Sam, the nag, cannon, fire cracker, slzzer, pin wheel, roman can dle, sky rocket and the band?whis tle, drum, jewsharp, trumpet. .. This game can bo played as an Im promptu affair, somewhat after the ? r fashion of the old game of "S^age Coach," or It can be made more elab ?orate with a little preparation by dis trlbutlng flags to the players so named, giving the band tho desig nated Instruments and having Undo 8am as story teller in the well known ^ Uncle Sam costume. It can be accommodated to a largo ftnrober of players by giving the same name to several, as, for instance, half the girls can bo "flags," the remain der "pin wheels." Uncle Sam takes the centre of the apace, arranging tho players in a ?*?mi-eircle in front of hiui. Ho savs: ? "Waal, waal; all these patriotic boys and girls come to celobrato the \ "glorious Fourth! And you guess your Uncle Sam can give you some points? To be sure. "Now- supposing we form a trust. Everybody who wants to be in tho trust get up and shout." (All do so.) . "That's up to date, Isn't it? You'll be a trust working hard for the glory of the U. S.?which you know means both t'ncle Sain and the Uni ted States. Every one of you must do his best to hold his head up or tho trast will be ruined. WTie'n I tell you to do anything Jump quick, but take tlaae to act your part. "Now to begin.

' i "Tho girls?bless their rosy cheeks and smiling lips?can be (lags when flags are needed and pin wheels.when pin wheals are to bo set off. You know, girls, how gracefully tho flag moves to the top of the pole and its pretty flutterings at the head of a procession." v Uncle Sam, having given manes to alf the players, proceeds to explain. "Now, young Americans, I will tell you a story that will bring in all your names. When yours is mentioned jump tip and act just as if you were whatever you are named. If.any one forgets to respond to his name I'll send an officer of the government af ter him. Johnny, get a pad and pen cil. I'll make you United States Sher iff. Take down the names of the slowpokes, and after tho game they will bo tried by a jury of friends and neighbors and expelled frgm our I trust as American citizens." Uncle Sam seats himself and be gins his story. "Waal, I'll tell you about myself when I was a youngster. "Ever since 1 was a very small boy I've been wakened early on my birth day by a great noise of cannon firing. (Ha! Ha! Mr. Cannon. Forgot your name. Put him down for trial, Mr. Sheriff.) "We'll begin again?burst of can non. That's all right, that's a line noise. Running to the window 1 could hear drums, whistles, trumpets. The mouth organ would play 'Yankee Doodle' and the other instruments keep time." (U. S. is silent while the band performs. When it sub sides he continues.) "After that and the chores dono up tho boys would go to the village green to see the flag raised. (Girls rise and imitate flag moving to top of pole,) When It reached the top and waved gracefully on the l>reezo (girls indicate motion) what hurrahs burst from all. "All tho afternoon the small can non were shot off to frighten the pass ers by; as long as the punk lasted more firecrackers and lots of slzzers.' When the darkness of evening came | we were wild with excitement. The fireworks were waiting to be set off. Who would get a chance to hold sonic? Firecrackers, of course, be gan the fun. After a barrel or so had snapped it was dark er.ougl for pin wheels with beuulifttl whirling and sputtoring sparks (girid? rise und turn slowly, waving hands aSid arms in circles and imitating sou ad of pin wheels). ""V-After the candles came the sls-s-^Mi of the sky rock tts, and its long traln^lX^tfparks reaching up, up, Into tho sky. When all the varieties had been'seen wo were too^erazy to keep still, so every kind was exploded at onca. Tho hmyj played, played, played. Everybody' Jumped up and got in line and marched around. ThQ flags waved and the air was filled with cheer*. We did not go home until we were too tired to take an other step. \ And so the glorious Fourth end Th? storyteller raunt be careful pronounce J the names very dellb Ir-Mi-io give time for odt *?his part. v> . One tery good featuro of this gams Is that-It provides a really exciting and- appropriate game for a rainy Fourth of July. You know, sad thongh It Csems, that there are rainy foirthi aomtinw Than one has T ; ; " Kir i ? . to give up nil thoso lovely tlroworks " and crackers ami go indoors. Uncle Sum's gamu is h very good substitute under such conditions*' for the real firework fun. For a Fourth of July party it is necessary of course to have tho table ! decorations in red, white and blue. Ope of tho nicest things you can have i for the centre of tho table is an Unclo | Barn's basket tlll??<l with red, white ! and blue tissue paper carnations, or | chrysanthemums. Indian pinks are really better than either of those, be cause the Indian pinks come in n-d, white and blue in their natural state, while nobody ever heard of )>lu?' carnations or chrysanthemum^ So it is best to nmke your flowers Took as much like Indian pinks as possible. The flowers made of tissue paper have fringed petals and long wire stems wound with tho paper. On t he end of each stem Is fastened a Utile package done up in tissue paper. This is a little gift. It may be any little thing that you can llnd In tlic toy Stores. Flag stickpins, little mirrors, pencil cases, gilt eagles or any small gift is suitable. There should be as many different things as can be se cured, as that adds to the fun. It Is nice to have something different for each guest. The flowers are then all stuckJn the basket upright. Hut In order to make them stand up until It comes time# to distribute them, It is necessary to have them packed very tight. So there must be plenty of flowers. If the party Is not a very largfe one they need not all have Klfts attached to them. When refresh ments are being passed around at the party tho Uncle Sum's basket Is also passed. "Have a flower from Uncle Sam's basket," the hostess*says. Then every boy and girl picks a flower out of tho basket. The packages tire of course immediately opened and the little gift Is found.

Despite the at lemirts of a few pnoplo to keop lifo in tho Japanese war scare, it Is dead. In fact, it novor was very much alive, lieyoiul furnishing employ ment. to space writers and acting as a political issue with wh'ch to embarrass the Ministry in Japan, It. seems to have had no reason for being on earth at all. Now it fails to serve ?*ven these poor purposes and so is allowed to disappear. The im re fact that San Francleco asserted her undoubted right to reg ulate her own school affairs could not by the wildest stretch of imagination furnish a casus belli?except for tho newspaper and political purposes aforesaid. Neithcl^.ould the irre sponsible acts of a ffcw hoodlums who made more or less nostllo demonstra tions against Asiatics?Chinese and Japanese alike?as thc> have done for years. Trivialities of this sort are matters for the police, not for war alarums. And It was thus that they were regarded by all sensible people, both In America and Japan. The annual spring war scare hav ing been overworked In Europe, It necessarily shifted to tho Pacific. l/There is not how, and never has bfcbn, any serious danger o? war be (Veeu Amer^ii and Japan. Ch inesy Rebels Slay Officials. Victoria, IJ. C.?Further nd vices regarding tho rebellion in South China received by the steamer Mont eagle, state that Sun Yat Sen. who for years has been organizing an anti dynastic. movement In China, left Toklo for a few weeks before :.ie out break, and Is reported lending the revolutionists near Hwatow, having taken the Held May 22 and opened operations by attacking the walled city of Kwang Kong, which was eas ily captured and all officials were killed. Kaoping and Lin Chlng suf fered similar fates. The'government troops on tho Island of Manwo were ?ttacked on May 2 7 and defoated. the revolutionists then marching upon Cha Chow, which also fell Into their hands, and all of the officials were promptly killed. Thousands of ref UlfOOil flarl tuh/^wA warships assembled to protect the city.

Troops are ready to repel an attack from tho Itonduran frontier, where President Zelaya has massed battalions. Some of the official papers bitterly attack President Zelaya's bad faith, declaring that after agreeing a few weeks ago at Amapala to submit to the Unltcilnftlates any difference with Salvador, now openly assists tho Sal vador insurgents and menaces Guate mala. President Zelaya's campaign against Guatemala will fall, but these continual attacks and menaces cause a heavy expense to tho Guate malan Government and visit herd ships on a community whor.e business is paralyzed. Zelaya keeps the whole of Central America In a fermenl. wherein Mexico's threatening Ittitude toward Guatemala encourages him Texas Saloons to Clowe.
