MEET THIS WEEK Bull Mosers to Open State Headquarters at Indianapolis With Much Vigor. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 24 —No amalgamation with th g. o. p.—this is the word from Albert J. Bveridge, ; nd the tone in which it was given here recently indicated that for the i former United States senator, at least, the bull moose and the elephant could never more lie down together, in peace and harmony. Just when amalgamation talk was i making a big hit. too. The fact that I the combined vote of the republicans' and progressives in the recent city elections overreached the democratic vote gave the amalgamationists their i cue. Compromise talk tilled the air. A progressive leader actually made the suggestion of amalgamation to a meeting of bull moose leaders and the story here goes that the proposal was accepted by u few of the leaders present. Then Beveridge put his foot down. He stamped the attempt to ' sell our party'' as the work of secret agents of guard of the g. o. p. He declared the new party must continue to exist aud that its forces would be lost if it were swallowed up by any other party. As long as the progressives and the regular republicans fight each other, democratic victories will go on in Ini diana. This point was urged by the ! progressive leader opposed to Beveridge's uncompromising stand as the principal reason for amalgamation. He argued that the progressive party I had served its purpose, that it hud i purified the republican party uud that } under present conditions both progressives and republicans were being Kept away from the pie counted at which the democrats waxed fat. Beveridge took the only logical stand for Beveridge. He is said to look longingly on the bull moose num I nut ion for president in 1916. He is also mentioned for the Indiana senatorial light in .914. He. tlwreforr. cannot afford to merge his party Just . yet 0 daughter buys store. Mias Bertha Zwick Buys Store of Late. Father at Williams.

PARLOR magic. Few Simple and Easy Tricks That Will Mystify Children. To entertain children at Christmas time it is a good idea to show them some magic tricks. The little ones will wonder at them and enjoy the afternoon or evening very greatly. Following are a few simple tricks which any amateur may perform: Take a penny or a dime aud place it in the hollow’ of your bund. Now, with the other disengaged hand take a clothes bnush or a hat brush and try to dislodge or move the coin from the Land by the action of brushing it. Try and try again, you will find out it cannot be done. Remember you must only brush the coin in trying to remove it. Take a linen or cotton handkerchief devoid of cologne or perfume (be sure of thisi. Place the center of the bandkerehief over an ordinary gas jet. Pull the handkerchief down tight, making sure it lies Cat and even over the gas Jet. Turn on the gas full up, apply a lighted match, holding it a few Inches above the jet, and the gas will im mediately ignite ami burn as brightly as though there was no handkerchief in the way. Do not allow it to burn too long, as the handkerchief is Hable to become scorched, not from the dame, but from the heated gas tip. The gas easily penetrates through the meshes of the handkerchief, and the flame from the gas tip burns above the tip at least a half to a full inch and not close to it, as a person might sup pose, aud that explains the mystery. A very deceptive optical Illusion ts accomplished hy the use of a large chijna plate. Sitting nt one side of the I table, you rest the plate on your knee so that about one-third of it shows [ alove the table. Take a knife in both hands nnd rest it on the plate. If you now lower and raise the knees al ternately, quickly and evenly, it gives a motiou to the plate as if it were actually revolving ropnd. In fact, it is so illusive that to the operator himself it has that same appearance. It is an accepted theory that a solid metallic body cannot float, but one can disprove that saying by causing an ordinary steel needle to remain on the water and not sink. Take a needle aud make sure tlmt it is devoid of moisture nnd perfectly dry. Gently place it carefully on the surface of the «ater, remove the hand just as carefully, nnd if you are fortunnte the needle will be seen floating as if it were a bit of wood instead of steel. If the band is not steady the needle can be lowered to the water by two loops of thread or on the prongs of a fork. Falling in cither of these methods, put the needle on a piece of cigarette paj>er. which you place on the water. As soon as the paper becomes saturated it sinks to the bottom, but the needle remains floating placidly on the top. • MODERN HIDE AND SEEK, f A ' ♦ • • • • • Hide and seek games are splendid to play iu a barn or large garden liecnuse there are so many tine dark nooks mid corners in which a chilli may There is a new way of playing hide and seek, just the opposite from the old familiar game. The player who is "it” goes away to hide instead of blinding, while all the other players remain at tb>i goal. While om- counturn they must all blind tlicir eyes. At the end of the counting the players all hunt for the hider. As soon as one discovers his hiding place he must squeeze in aud bide there too. If there isn't room he must take n seat in plain sight near the hiding place. The player who is unable to discover the billing place is ••it” for the next game. This game will last an entire afternoen until dusk cmmw and the children deHde that the thing they most want to do is to go to the bouse for tea. ... i...... i . e. . . .-.— . t FOLLOW THE STRING. • • Much sport may is- lind by the dis tribo lion of comical gifts in the following fashion: From a given center cot-da of nil colors and conditions, no two alike, ex I tend in every direction—up«talre. downatahw and nlnmat Into milady's chamber, across each other, here and there, often l>dng knotted logetlier nt those points of intersectioti.
