At the time when the Dispatch fi .o the ownership of Miss Lelane Gr iam, the outlook or the paper was iot good. Even with all the ad rertising in a i own of twelve housand, city rinting and' po itical -patronage. 3ut where the oad outlook came n was with the ity editor, which neant the entire . Deal staff. With n nine months our city editors Lad been killed in ' he street, and to wonder that a on Lemporary aid that the pa oer was rightly kamed the Dis atch. . In the part of he country where the Dispatch w: rinted silence could discount trui s a virtue. It made no differen rhat a man might know-it was wh; e said that got him into trouble. B1 tow was it possible to print the neNN rithout saying something, and was ikely that one could keep on stryir omething without treading upon U orns of an occasional truth? So. u n taking charge of the' paper si ould not help but feel a certain r ponsibility not to say anxiety. Si ould not herself slop around in a orts of weather and get the news. ( ourse she could edit the paper-ar ne could do that, as nine-tenths he politielans in the district wei eady to swear; but any one won ot dare to gather the news. While si Ing at her desk, the first mornir fter taking -active control she hear cough, and looking up saw standir ear her a thing that looked like ellow ghost. She stared at it, n( ver frightened, having taken a whi ,t the medical course at school at sked what was wanted. The man t was a man-bowed and said tht .e had come to offer his services i ity editor. And the idea that it wou e well to employ him occurred 1 ter. No one could have the heart aurder that skeleton. So, she hire im. Miss Lelane opened an envelope an ook out a communication. It told < , desperate fight that had just o urred in the hills. A young mii kamed Ralph Hicks had killed, in air fight, six ruffians who had pi roked a quarrel with him. The de was full' of valor that it was a goi hing to print and she printed it. ow days later she received anothi ormmunication from a fellowv nam< bIot Smith, giving another account he valiant Ralph Hicks. This time lesperado known as the Swamp A el had met him at a country stor a a neighborhood where the Ang ras owner of all he surveyed, and 1 ras a pretty active surveyor. Hicl ras affable and inclined to be co iliatory, but the Angel said that I asn't feeling very wvell, having ju ot up from a shake down of cil nd fever, and he thought that a litt resh blood was about what he nee d. Hicks asked hiim if a doctor hr 'lyen him that sort of a prescriptio nd the Angel "lowed" that he ha nd Hicks shot the Angel between ti 'yes and the coroner declared that ras a good shot. This was also prit d. The skeleton would, once in a wvhil ring in a piece of news. No oi bought of killing him, yet they mac t inconvenient. One man hit hi rith a mallet and dislocated his hi .nd laid him up for a day or two. at Lnother fellow knocked him dow ust to hear him rattle, but otherwvh to damage -was done. Still his por ion was often embarrassing. So I aid that he believeds he would r ign. Lelane urged him to remain lay or two longer, till she could f1r nether skeleton, or some other phiy a1 unfortunate, immuned against a ack. He said that he was willinj 'wo days later the skeleton came I: [mping, and said that his other hi ad been dislocated and that it we ov, time for him to go. She p~ai im off and he went out. At this nm ient there entered a tall, hiandson allow with black, rippling hair. SI niled and asked him to be seate Vau it possible that so fine a ma ad come to look for death. I miled at her. "I. understand yot Ituation," said he, "and I am dete ained to help you. I have had coi idereble experience in this sort< !ork. My name is Ralph Hlicks." She seized his hand. He was th ne man who could dare tQ print th ows. And she engaged him. T1he people were astonished to rea iat Ralph Hicks had taken the new nd of the Dispatch. lie printed ard in which he said: "I wvant it mi erstood that I am going to print thi ews." And he did, There were mutbering ad scowlings, but nothing seriou appened. Lelane was happy in her, work, fc ar paper was prosperous. One nigh' iey were sitting alone in the edito LI room. Ralph had ceased to writ nd was musing. Suddenly he got u1j 'alked over to Lelane's desk, an 'ithout embarrassing preliminarie; aid, "I love you and beg of you to 1 iy wife." -- "Oh," was all she answocred at the line, but a sweet understanding comn o them. PRINTIN CHRISTMAS GAMES. FOR THE CHILDRE1 11 Many Forms of Merrymaking fo the Little Folks' Holiday Party. . By ADELE MENDLE. "At Christmas play and mako good cheei For Christmas comes but once a year.' T Christmas time the childreti are bubbling over with the spiril of the season and the growr ifolks' thoughts turn to the little ones fun and amusement at no time more than at the happy Yule Tide. With a little thought and prepara tion a children's Christmas parts Imay be made such a joyous affair thal its happy memories will linger witl the young folks for many yearq. Hero are some entertaining gamel n that will solve a problem for the per plexed biother who perhaps is wonder ing "What shall I have the children play at the party?" For when she 'sends her "Comb to my ChristmaE party" invitations, she knows that v successful children's party meanE .something more than just "ice cream and cake." These games will appeal to all the children-tho timid little girl, who I1 it inclined to shrink in the corner, aE t well As the big boy, who usually oc, t cupies "the center of the stage." Santa Claus' Reins. This game is very exciting. Thro pieces of white tape, each about at inch wide, and the length of the room are held at one end by three children Three others are given pairs of scls 11 sors and at a signal the players cui the tape in half lengthwise. The on( y who first reaches the opposite end ol the tape is the winner of that heat The different winners contest unti the champion is declared. Boys and t- girls, you know, love racing competi tions of all kinds and this race is one that probably they never played be fore. g Magic Music. a Although this is a game that per. haps the mothers and fathers played d when they went to kindergarten, i still causes much laughter and is al. ways successful. One child leaves the room and the others decide upon somethig for bim d to do on his return. The musiciar 0 regulates his playing, and the chil ' .must guide his actions according tc d the loudness or softness of the music It is astonishing what different task .are accomplished after a little prac tice, and the children's cries of "le1 .me go out next" prove their enjoy n ment of "Magic Music." a Guess!ng Holly Perries. 0- For this game the child must pu on his "thinking cap." -Told a larg >d 'spray of holly in your hand and al A low the children to look at it for rfew minutes. Then tell them to writi d their estimate of the number 01 f holly berries on the branch. Yo1 a -might take a chrysanthemum als( '~ and ask them to guess how mann e, petals in the flower. Great interest 1: 3! shown when the petals arc counted. e A Christmas Doll. s The idea of this game is to see wh< can make the prettlest doll out of 0 long smooth potato, two pieces o tpretty colored tissue paper, somi asmall sticks for legs and arms, anm Le some pins. Or if you would rathe: pass clothes pins and let the childrer .d :fashion dolls out of them, that wil 'also answer the purpose. Place all the dolls in a row whom Le ~completed, and have the children vete itfor their favorite one. You will bi t' surprised to see what ingenuous re -isults the clever little fingers produce e, A Noisy Game. e.Yes, it is noisy, but the childrem ehave an idea that "the more noise ~the more fun," and what mother cares if "the roof comes down" at a Christ d mas party? After a child leaves the room, 0 proverb is chosen. One word of i is given to each child. If there art e more children than words containc in the proverb, then two or more chil a 'dren are given the same word. Wher d :the child outside the ro->m returns, ,~leader counts "'One, two, three." A t- athe "Three" all the children shoul (- ;their given word. The child musi 1, 1guess tbhe proverb. I). Santa Claus' Grab Bag. . On the invitation gtato that each d 'child is to bring something to thc l' party that he or she no longer carei e for. This article is to be in a neat3 0 wrapped and tied parcel, so as to hidi I- its identity. It is placed in a, large nI bag, on the child's arrival. Each chili 0 'then draws a present from the bag r Uproars of laughter follow the open 'ing of the packages, which probabl3 will consist of peculiar articles of al fsizes and descriptians. I A Christmas Mix-Up, e - Provide the children with papel 'e and pencil. Give themi the following 'list of words pertaining to Christmas 0 You see the letters are all twistnd s It is thleir interesting task to straight a en them out. . Key and list: 1.~ Christmas--Atschsmr'i. 2. Reindeer-Driereno. *3. S1eigh-Iloghs. 4. Mistletoe-INtlosmtio. -0. Plum Pudding-Uplmdpudgni. 7. Santa Claus-Asculatena, 8. Candles-Lcdnesa. 09. Stockings-Kosctsign. S 10. Jack Frost-LKcajtrfso. 11. Wreath--Trhwao. 12. Snowbali-Ownslabl. Whlat Santa Claus Doesn't Like. t This 13 a simple and successfu *giamo.. All the children are seate< except one who says "Santa Claul G Give The Pic] 1well you will doesn't like C's. What are you going to give him instead?" The fifat child .replies with a word that does not con tain a "C." For instance: "Meat" would be a correct answer, but "rice" would not do. If a correct answer is not given by the time the leader counts "ten," a forfeit must. be paid. And wq all know the fun of redeeming the forfeits. A Peanut Race. At on6 end of the room place two bowls of peanftf, and at the opposite end two empty bowls. Two children are each provided with a knife and at a signal they place as many peanuts as they can on the blade of the knife, and carry it to the empty bowl with one hand. Depositing the peanuts, they return for more. Each child ts allowed three minutes. A score iq kept and the one -who has the larg est number of peanuts credited to his name wins the prize. * Puzzle Pictures. Pretty pictures taken from maga zines, advertisements and discarded picture books are cut up into several pieces and placed into envelopes. A good idea is to write the same num ber on the back of the envelope and all pieces belonging to one puzzle, so. that if a piece gets mixed with the. others it can be readily returned to its. own set. Each child is handed a puzzle, and as soon as he succeeds in placing the. pieces in their proper position he is given credit for it by the score keeper, and receives another puzzle to work with. The one who succeeds in putting together the most pictures in a stated time receives a well-' earned prize. Snowballs. This is an amusing game. Snow balls made of cotton batting and cov ered with white tissuo paper and a small basket are required. The play ers stand about eight feet from the basket. The one who tosses the most balls into the basket is the prize win ner. Each child might be given three snowballs to start with. - A Christmas Spider Web. Take as many balls of twine as there are children expected at the party. To one end of each ball attach a card bearing the child's name and to the other end an inexpensive gift. Twist the twine around the different objects in the room. Give each child the twine and card bearing his name. At a signal all begin to unwind the entangled web. Great is the fun and loud the exclamations when the young people arrive at the end of their string and find a gift awaiting them. A Pop Corn Party. If you don't mind the "muss," and of course you won't, have a pop corn party. Have the children sit in a circle on the floor and provide each - with a bowl of popcorn, a needle and some coarse white thread. Tell them that the one who strings the longest t popcorn chain before the time is up will win the prIze. Each youngster - 'takes home his own string of corn. An Impromptu EntertaInment. When the children are tired of romp ing, let them sit on the floor in a circle and tell them you are goingI pto have an enter-tainment, and that each child must do something to help make it a success. The youngsters will provide a variety of numbers for tyour impromptu program, fromn nurs cry rhymes to fancy dancing. Artists. Bring in a good sized blackboard and have the children see who can draw the best Santa Claus. This will 'afford much pleasure for the little folks. (CopyrIght, 1912, by W. G.
