The Shake’ 5 Tail.
The Japanese children play some
good gaines that might help American
youngsters through a wintry after-
noon. The girls, big girls, too, have a
very pretty ball game that they call
“yemari,” which means hand ball, but
it is not at all the same‘thing as the
hand ball We know. A‘ number of
them stand in a circle, one of them
takes the ball—they use one about two
inches in diameter—and throws it per-
pendicularly on the ground. As it re-
bounds she strikes it back with her
open hand. This she does as often as
she can do so without moving from her
place in- the circle,.but w-'hen it re-I
bounds nearer to some other girl—as »
it will be sure to do soon—it is the part
of that girl to strike it drown So the
games goes on till some girl fails to hit
when she Should, or to make it rebound,
and then she is east out of the circle.
The game goes on till only one girl is
left, and then she has the honors of the
game, “kachi, ” or victory, as the girls
call it. '
There is another merry game called
“catching-the snake’s tail.” OneIplay-
er is selected to be the catcher, and the
rest range. themselves in a row, one
behind the other, each. child putting
his or her hands 0n the shoulders of
the child in front of him.
The catcher stands in front of the
row some feet away, and when the'row
is‘ ready the game commences, and it
conSists of the catcher" s efforts to catch
the last child in the row, while the row
refends its tail, the snake’s tailz' This
is usually the smallest child playing,
for the ,row is graduated by size; the
catcher must. not push any one in the
row, and the chain of the row must
n'ot be broken; either action eon'stiu-
tes a “foul; ” when the “tail” is caught
that child becomes catcher, and the
catcher becomes the tail.
A variation on this game is for the
catcher. to __cry out; thathe‘ will catch
a child. “Which child do you want?”
asks the head of the row, and then the
catcher says third, or fifth, or what-'I
ever he will, and then the row tries to
defend that child under the same con-
ditions ,as ,before.-——_Ch'icago ' l_nter-'

Monkeysas Miners. _
'A traveler'arriving from the Trans-
.vaal tells of an inhabitant of Pretoria,
a gold miner, who 0Wned two
little
mOnkeys—intelligent animals that
were accustomed to follow him into the
galleries. They saw the workmen en—
gaged in picking up the mineral, and,
in' virtue of their gift of imitation, they-
did the same.
Distinguishing easily the traces of
the precious metalthey soon became
expert ’collaborateurs and the propri-
etor thought he saw a, career plainly,
indicated for other monkeys.
He procured a force of twenty-four
of them, which, initiated by the tv’VoI
first, soon became so expert as to re-
place five or six workmen and to pick
up the ore nicely in little heaps. ' I
These imonkeys, it appeals, were
very honest, not having been perverted
by the human miners. They did not
think of stealing o‘r hiding the nug-
gets, they did not drink, they were not
difficult in the matter of wages they
did" not dream of organizing a Syndi-
cat'e. In short, they are model 'wbrk-

the sheriff and his deputies had to pro-

showed great nerve to the last. The
trap was sprung at 12.21 p. m., and
death was instantaneous. Lockley
made a. full confeSsion.
Lockley had been living for. several
years with Ellen Chapman, and on Oc-

quarrel ensued, which ended in a fight.
When the woman's nephew, George
Lee, started for an officer, Lockley
seized a. gun and shot him, then shot
at Charles Chapman, but missed him.
He then shot Eddie Chapman, and
to
make her escape shot her.
