MARBLES AN ANCIENT GAME

Hee Been Popular, In Ono Form or Another, for Many Hundreds , 1 of Years. Certainly played by the Roman Empeeor Augustus, the game of marbles is of great antiquity. Tn the early days nuts were used instead of the marbles. In some seventeenth-century verses a law student Is described as a “dab at taw." The phrase “knuckle down at taw" is almost classical, and the rule doubtless explains the fact that the game is almost confined to boys, for girls naturally dislike the disciplinary process of pressing the knuckle of their forefinger upbn the stone or gravel. word taw means (1) the marble itself, especially the alleytaw; (2) the ring Into which marbles are shot; (3) the line behind which the player must keep his foot when he shoots. — ~ — The origin of the term is uncertain, and it is sometimes less correctly written tor, to which Dickens has given the sanction of his authority when he represents Mr. Pickwick making inquiries as to young Berdell's alleytors. The alley-taw —of doubly uncertain derivation —is the best kind of marble, which the player always uses for his shot, if he Is lucky enough to possess such a one; while the commoner sorts are used as butts to be aimed at, or counters to be won or lost. The alley-taw was. and still commonly Is, made of real marble (originally, it is said, of alabaster), and is niost prized if it contains red veins, being then called a blood-alley. It might be worth fifty of the baser sort, or even be outside the possibility of barter. Next in value , came stonles, made of hard grey stone and glazed. Potteys were also glazed and were made of day, appearing in many different colors. Commoneys or maradiddles were of unbaked clay. Glass marbles were seldom used, being relegated to girls or to the curious game of solitaire.

Airdrome of the Jungles.

The recent navigation of the transAfrican air route was made possible only by the heroic work of the three advance parties who laid out the for-ty-three airdromes, says Popular Mechanics Magazine in an article with a full-page illustration. When the site for a typical airdrome had been selected tentatively, four boundaries 800 yards long, and two diagonal traverses, were cleared of grass, usually seven to ten feet high, and of smaller obstacles. This work revealed with least labor the configuration and suitability of the ground. Each native was then assigned for clearance a “skonkewan," or area 10 yards square. When tills patch had been cleared of grass, the anthills were carted away.

Garden Pride.

Neighbors of J. W. Applin were surprised one night recently about 12 o’clock to see him with a flashlight looking for something in his garden. He appeared to have another man along with him. It was thought that perhaps he had lost something valuable and was looking for it and a solicitous neighbor asked the next morning: “Lose something in your garden last night, Mr. Applin?” “No,” was the reply. “I was just showing a caller our first tomato.”— Indianapolis News.

The Obstacle.

“From now on,” sternly said Squire Ramsbottom, the well known Jurist of Petrtala, “I ’am going to conduct the business of this office strictly according to law and common sense.” “But, looky here, Squire I” returned Constable Sam T. Slackputter. “You can’t run It In two different ways at once. You’ve either got to conduct It according to law or according to sense, one or tuther, but not both. It can’t be did City Star.

Mexican Women Bull Fighters.

There are at the present time between two and three hundred women In Mexico engaged in bull fighting, either as slayers of the wounded bulls or as mounted attendants In the ring, and they are Immensely popular with the people. Their earnings vary, but on fete days, when hundreds of thousands of people attend a bull fight, a woman may be paid as much as $3,000 for entering the ring.

Must Have a Porch.

"No front porch. This house won’t do at all.” “Why not? Front porches are no longer tn fashion.” • “That may be. But we have a young son who may some day be running for the presidency of the United States and how could he conduct a•campaign in a house without a front porch T’ ’

SOUTH BARKLEY REPUBLICAN WOMEN MEET

A well attended and enthusiastic organization meeting* was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles P. Moody at Moody, Thursday evening. , tl * Before the meeting Mr. and Mrs. Moody were hosts to a number of the Republican workers and served a most elegant six o’clock dinner. The meeting was in charge of County Chairman Moses Lxeopoki.The principal address was made by Mrs. A. H. Hopkins. Mrs. Hopkins was introduced by Chairman Leofpold as one whose heart was in the work and one thoroughly imbued with Republicanism and said that* she was giving the cause a great' amount of time and effort and waa doing this without being put upon the pay roll of the state central committee and that she was not receiving a cent either as salary l or expenses. This is in marked con-.' trast to the service being rendered by a certain Democratic woman, worker, who is receiving a fancy salary and liberal expense allowance from the Democratic state committee, whose millionaire candidate for president is putting up a howl in claiming that the Republicans will have a national campaign fund of $15,000,000. » Mrs. Hopkins made a most earnest plea to the women of this newly | created precinct composing one of the finest groups of people to be found in Jasper or any other county in the country. • She urged the women to become active workers in the field of politics and thereby insure Republican success which means better government.' • Short talks were made by Judge C. W. Hanley, Dr. Rose Remmeck, Clarence Fate and L. H. Hamilton.

STATE DRIVE FOR FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
