Children's Games.
(By Dr. Frank Crane.)
Children should be taught games
that are simple and that can be played
without expensive apparatus.
A god deal of the instruction in
regard to children's games is too
^freoretieal. hence we submit the following
practical hints, which are
within the reach of all, rich and
fp poor, wise and otherwise.
Children love to break things.
There is hardly any sense of moral
satisfaction keener in the child than
the pleasure he gets from smashing
something. The child, therefore,
should be given access to the china
closet and occasionally turned loose
in the parlor with a little red hatchet
He should not be taught to play
chess, nor solitaire, as these games
are toe quiet and induce sedentary
habits.
He should be provided with firearms,
drums and horns, so that early
within his little bosom he might
learn tc love war and grow up to
be a foaminsr patriot.
He should be familiar with all
games which are played by taking
sides, sc that early in him the party
spirit might be developed and thus
he might grow up to be a good Republican
or Democrat.
He should be encouraged to fight
as much as possible, as everybody
knows that competition and struggle
are the basis of a strong character.
Girls should be allowed to play at
wearing their mother's finery, so that
when they become grown women they
can be experts in fashions and collectors
of jewelry, and thus be able
to spend their husband's income.
Children should be taught to litter
up the floor, scratch the piano and
do as 'hey please, thus developing
in their; that strong sense of personal
liberty which would keep them
from becoming prohibitionists.
A child can get a good deal of
amusement out of a pair of scissors,
with which he can cut the curtains
into coupons and reduce his mother's
cpera cioai; to riDDons.
A nice game for children is called
"flood.'" It conisists in turning on
all the faucets in the bathroom and
watching the water run out over the
floor aiH inundate the entire appartment.
A similar simple game is that
called ' rain." All that is needed is
to give the child a pitcher of water
and put him on the balcony. He
then can pour the water on the
passers-by. The little darling will
enjoy this immensely.
Every effort should be made to
encourage the precious lammy in selindulgence,
for he will have a hard
enough time when he grows up.
He should not be put to bed at
regular hours, but always allowed to
go to sleep in the corner with his
ciothes on. \
A nice game is called "nigger."
It consists in finding a little colored
boy for your white son and his companions
to plav with. They can
drive him out of the yard, they can

persecute him, tie him up and beat
him, and thus there can early be developed
in your darlings that sense
of race superiority which is so es- c
sential to Anglo-Saxon supremacy, s
By noting these simple points one t
can see that the best children's games s
are quite simple and need no ex- I
pensive apparatus. By a little intel- 5
ligent foresight one's child may grow I
up to be a distinguished blatherskite, ^
and, if he escapes the penitentiary, t
he may become one of our leading b
citizens. 1
Law of Retaliation. b
r
In Applied Psychology there is a I;
I law called the Law of Retaliation, b
Through the operation of this law 2
you are constantly causiug others to b
think of you as you think of them ?
and to act toward you as you act I
toward them. f
There is nothing occult or mysteri- p
ous about this law. You have seen o
it operate every time you gave anoth- t
er person a present, because that per- b
son immediately began to look for lj
a way to return the favor. a
This law is very much in evidence ?
around Christmas time, when Christ- t
mas presents are the order of the p
day. What a wonderful thing it 1would
be if this spirit prevailed t
throughout the year. c
This law is very largely responsi- s
ble for the success of the red-headed, a
freckled-faced boy who comes in from ii
the country, goes to work as office
boy and errand runner and soon ad- L
vances on up the ladder to a posi- p
tion of responsibility and good pay. s
"Having no better sense" than to J
do more than he was paid to do has it
carried many a young fellow over t
the heads of those wise ones who knew p
how to stop when they had perform- n
ed as much sendee as the day's work t
called for. t
You cannot escape the results of y
this Law of Retaliation. It works t
whether you want it to or not, for t
you or against you, according to the i
intelligence with which you direct it. v
It is constantly carrying you on to- c.
ward a greater success, or pushing 1
you back further into the rear of (,
that great mass of struggling hu- c
manity constituting the rank and fil$ p
of the "never-do-wells!" j.
It may seem unjust to work hard- a
t er and put in more hours than for n
i which you are paid, particularly if
| the person or firm for which you p
work is unappreciative, but if you h
do this your pay comes by reason of p
the fact that this becomes a habit _
with you and sooner or later you are
sure to gain the attention of some one
who will offer you a bigger place and
better pay. 'The world is ever in q
search of the man and the woman,
both the young and the qjd, who
know enough about the operation of ^
the Law of Retaliation to perform
more work and better work than is,
for the time being, paid for. Fortunate, ^
indeed, are all who see its lo^ic and
put it into use.

Concerning Apples.
The department of agriculture has
rowned Delaware with a championhip
wreath of apple blossoms. In
he number of apple trees to the
quare mile in her orchards Delaware
eads all the other states. She has
48 apple trees to the square mile.'
few York comes next with 287 trees, j
Virginia is third with 255 trees, and
he State of Washington, famous for
>er apples, takes fourth rank in the 1
ist with only 130 trees.
Throughout the country, the num- '
er of apple trees seems to have re- '
nained about stationary during the i
ast decade. In six states there have i
een large increases, totaling 2,491,- i
09 trees, but these figures are offset 1
>y heavy decreases in the northwest '
nd in the central western states. 1
n Washington and Oregon many I
arm and home orchards have disap- I
eared,- and in the central west vari- 1
us foes have wrought much damage '
o trees. These pests include the 1
orer, which perforates the trunk a <
ittle' above the ground; the woolly !
phis, which attacks the tender >
hoots; the caterpillar, which devours 1
he leaves; the canker worm, the ap- 1
le moth and other enemies, which 1
ave almost ruined many fine cenral
western orchards. Statistics
overing the number of trees de- '
troyed by these pests are not avail- 1
ble, but that the total would offset (
icreases elsewhere is probable.
In New England the apple output
as declined with other agricultural 1
iroducts, which is to be lamented on
entimental grounds if on no other. ,
'or New England was the first Amerlan
home of the apple. Early setters
brought trees from England and
il anted them on an island about three
liles out in Boston harbor, known
o this day as Apple Island. From
hat starting point apple tree plantng
spread. The Indians helped on
he good work and Indian orchards
ecame common. The fame of New
'ngland apples spread all over the
rorld. Soon after Frederick Tudor
f Boston began exporting . ice to
rcpical countries in 1805 the exportation
of apples as accompanying
11 goes followed. New England ap>!es
in prime condition were laid down
n all the ice markets of India, China
nd South America, where they comlanded
quick sales at high prices.
The American apple still holds its
restige the world over, but, alas, its
cme price has soared to heights
ainful to the plain American citizen.

Man's Curiosity.
Hd John came home to his loving,
wife?
It was on a Saturday night,
'he rain it was a pouring
And no moon a shining bright.
'he very first thing that met his eye
Was a street ccstume and slippers
thin;
le then yciled at Sal with all his
might,
"Why are these clothes heie, and
where've you been?" <
hen Sal began to tremble and shake, '
But finally she got up courage to
say,
I walked across to see Mrs. Jones,
You know it's just a little way."
Phen that topic had been discussed?
When forty questions had been
asked by John,
hey began eating supper when was
heard:
"Well, where did you get this beef
steak from? And what did you
do with that money <
give you last Wednesday night?
Looks like you might "fuss" up a jj
bit f
Jid not look such a fright." ;
Then supper had been eaten ^
And the dishes were nearly done, Jj
ohn, who had walked into the house jj
Came back right on the run.
Oh Sal, run here just a moment j
For there goes that Mrs. Blithers j
.nd look at that vamp by her side? j
:eckon her husband knows she's with
her?
fonder why she wears her hat like \
that
And takes such awful steps?
.nd honor! take another look and see
what's 'round her neck.
fhen Sal went to bed that night
Her nerves were worn to a strain?
;ut still this thought ran through
her head:
"Who said woman was more curious
than man?"
ou know when Gcd began this world
He made Adam a human creature, a
fut he looked real curious out of his S
eyes 8
And didn't have a striking feature? 5
I.D Vnottr tTii'c rrpatnrp S
Would have to ask questions all
his life
o He rr.ede an "answer box" out 5
of Adam's rib, , g
And this be called liis wife.

Runaway Girts.
The problem of the runaway boy
is not as serious, so Travelers' Aid
societies tell us, as that of the runaway
girl. Boys have a way of finding
their own course, once they desert
the parental roof. Generally runaway
boys come back home. Runaway
girls are more serious about
what they do. They run away expecting
never to come back. What
causes the difference? One of the
reasons is to be found In the fact
that girls have a more vivid imagination
than boys. They dream dreams
about other girls who have gone out
into the world and made successes
in the motion pictures business or
elsewhere. They rarely count the cost
of running away. Boys are impetuous.
They run away most of the time
because they have been reprimanded
by their parents. When their anger
cools off they are ready to go back
borne. Girls dislike to come back and
admit they have done wrong. Most
of the runaway girls arc about fifteen
years of age. This is the imaginative
age for youth, more so with girls
than with boys. The Travelers' Aid
society has succeeded in rescuing
thousands of girls who thus have
strayed from the parental fireside,
rhey have found girls helpless and
discouraged and have lifted them up
and demonstrated to them that the
aid saying after all is altogether true,
'there is no place like home," no
friend like a devout mother.?Dayton
