Frederick A. Cleveland, . 'Who la

but it can be set down safely that he
thinks it is possible this amount of the
saving may be doubled.

In the senate wing.
Democratic senators and representa

sonal'' administration which ever held
sway in the country. These same sen
ators and representatives a few years
urge the adoption of a good many of
the reforms- which Mr. Cleveland and
his associates on the economy and
efficiency commission, Walter W. War
wick and Merritt O. Chance, have rec
ommended. Some of the plans which
have been suggested for economy and
efficiency have ceased to worry any
body. The Democrats last year were
made to believe, or at any rate seem-

mission's plans were adopted thou
sands of men and women at work in
Washington would lose their places,
that the government service would be
crippled, and that money could be
saved only at the expense of effi

that the plans of the' commission, if
adopted, will not mean loss of places
but very likely the creation of more
places, the salaries of which can be
paid out of the savings made while
the government, using the surplus of
the saving, can extend its beneficent
operations into a good many fields
which it has not yet entered. ,

Three Chinese Games.
"Let Out the Doves." At the cry of
"Let out the" doves" one of the larger
girls takes hold of the hands of two
of the smaller girls, one of whom rep
resents a dove and the other a hawk.
The hawk stands behind the big girl,
and the dove in front of her. She
throws the , dove away as she might
toss a bird in the air, and as the child
runs she waves her arms as though
they were wings. The hawk is then
thrown in the same way, and it . fol
lows the dove. The big girl then claps
her hands as the Chinese do. to bring
their pet birds to' them, and the dove,
if not caught, returns to the cage.
Seek for Gold. This is a variation'
of our popular "Jacks." Several girls
gather up some pebbles, squat down
in a group, and scatter all the peb

tween two of the stones and snaps one
against the other. If she hits It, the
two stones are taken up and put aside
to her credit. She is entitled to draw
her finger again between two more
and snaps them. When she misses an
other girl takes up what pebbles are
left, scatters them, snaps them, takes
them up, and so on until one or anoth
er child gets the most of the pebbles

Two captains are chosen, and each

A Juggling Match.

he received a prize; otherwise the
prize went to the catcher.
Pebble-Chase (Greek). .
. In this more modern amusement of
the Greek children, the leader stands
amongst the players, holding a pebble
between the palms of his hands. Each
player extends his hands, palm to
palm, and the leader puts his hands
between the palms of each player, os
tensibly to drop in the pebble he is
holding. The player who receives the
pebble is chased by the others, and
may only be saved by returning to the
leader and giving the pebble to him.
The chase may begin as soon as the
players suspect who has the pebble,
so each player should carefully watch
the hands and faces of the others to
see who gets it, and as soon as he
suspects one, , start to chase him.
Leaders and players must exercise
ingenuity to keep the secret of the
whereabouts of the pebble, but not
after the last pair of hands ha3 been
passed.
