Knowledge of Geography Win* the
Prize In Thia Contest.
A game In which geographical genius
will shine is called “10081100.”
Two captains are chosen from among
thtf players, and these in turn choose
their sides until the party Is equally,
divided For convenience it is well to
seat the parties in two rows, facing
each other. Chance decides which
captain shall begin the game. This he
dfies by calling the name of a city or
town and then counting ten, Before
he has finished counting-his opposite
opponent must call out the location of
the city—that is, the state or country
in which it Is situated. If he answers
correctly, he in turn calls the name of
a place/and the second player in the
opposite row must locate it before ten
is counted. Should any player fail to
answer before ten is counted or answer
Incorrectly he or she must drop out.
and when there is only one player left
on either side that one wins the prize. *

Success Lies In
One’s Tongue.
"It is the little rift within the lute,”
sang Tennyson, “which by aud
shall.make the ni'usic mute.” Aud Li
is the little quarrels, the disagreements
aliov.ed to n.ultiply and prolong them-
seiViAj, tli .t end by spoiling married
life together and make havoc and
ruin of what began with such fair
prondse. r
Some people seem to hold the opin
ion of an old English ballad. "The
.ailing‘bet of faithful hearts, renew-
ing, is of love.” They think that quar
rels made up draw people closer to-
gether, but this is one of the greatest
uustakes possible. Every. quarrel
niake:; it ea-'or for the next to follow
aud harder for the breach to heal.
Brt after the-first quarrel nil that is
at an end. There is aft unexpressed
feeling that there is nothing more to
lose, and nothing can be more fatal to
mutual respect and affection than this.
Thu small barrier which has served to
keep one's worst side in check has
been thrown down, and after this the
woift side has it all its own way.
A friend of mine was once about to
marry a widower whose first marriage
had turned out an unhappy one. Ev-
erybody knew that the cause had been
the .perpetual quarrels that went on
between himself and his wife, and
when my friend asked me to wish her
joy I am afraid I did it in a half heart-
ed kind of way. My friend noticed it.
for she was very quick, and she rather
took me aback by saying quietly:
“I fa e you don't think it very much
a matter of congratulation. You are
thinking of Harry's last attempt. Ent
l mean mine to turn out very difl^'r-
mtly."
“How are you going to insure that?”
I asked.
; “Easily enough'. Hurry and tits List
wife were licit her, of them’ ill tem-
pered, They only got into u Confirmed
habit of wrangling because nehlier
would give in to the other.' Now. 1 uni
going to try quite a different method
It takes two to make a quarrel. I :wn
not going to 1 e the second. If Harry
I'.nds 1 never respond lie will soon give
up his foolish habit of squabbling.”
As she had prophesied, he qpon be-
gan to find quarreling a.poor amuse
ment, and. having no one to argue
with, he gradually got out of his argu
mentative ways. When I used to re-
mark to his wise little wife on the suc-
cess of her course of treatment she
only smiled and said quietly: .
“Ah. If people only knew what a se-
cret of happiness Iles in‘holding one's

Hoyv Dottie and Johnny Amused Them-

week at the same farm. Such fun .is

l-ii.g strings! What cared they wheth-

happy.
One morning, after tliey had i-omped
and played until Dot was tire.1. th?
two threw themselves on the sofrgi-ass
under a spreading chestnut tree, and
Johnny said, “Oh. say. Dot, lot's play
guessing things!"
,~ “Don't knovvTiow," answered D<»L
s “Easy as rolling off a log. 1 will
think of something, and you must lie
asking me questions Try to guess
what I’m thinking about.”
“All right,” assented Dot
think.”'
“Guess what's in my pocket?” asked
Johnny, opening the game.
“That is easy,” laughed the little girl.
. "Marbles and tops and a ball. 1 know,
’cause I saw you put them in.”
“Nup. I'm thinking of something
else.”
“Then.” said Dot, puckering her
-brow, “a bubble pipe, a key, a fishing
line and pin.”
“Again I must say nup.” said John-
ny. “Sure I have all them things, but
I’m thinking of something else.”
Dot put on her thinking cap for the
third and last time. “Is it a whistle,
a knife or a nail?”
"No, no, no!” cried Jobnuy. “Now,
t gpu’ve had three guesses, and your
’ ^urn is up, so I’ll tell you.”
“Well, well!” said Dot impatiently.

The Deering Ideal Mower
The Deering Ideal Mower,
4 1-2 and a-foot cut, is unques-’
tionably one of the most satis-
factory mowers <fn the market.
It is properly deigned so that
it has ample traction St all
times and operates1 without
’side draft.
When the grass is unusually
heavy, tough or wiry, the cut-
. ting igzdifficult and there is a
tendency for th® knife to be-
(r'i come choked and the wheels to
and over the ground.
To prevent, this the mower
■.-agr '^- must have sufficient weight to
"produce positive traction. In
’this respect the Ideal meets
every requirement.
All Deering mowei s have a draft rod connection with the drag bar in line with the tongue
which saves wear and tear on the horses. This drag bar projects in front of the pitman and pro-
tects it. The pitman is made from the best secopd growth hickory.
The Ideal mower is provided with an unexcelled foot lift which is so located that the operator
pushes forward to raise th-.- bar. Pushing iorwtu-d eliminates the tendency to throw or lift the
driver out of his seat, a tendency so frequently found on other mowers.
