Having previously come to a decision as to which side is to com­ mence firing, the general of the "ups" marshals his men in a row, takes a ball & his hand, and when the signal for the commencement of hostilities is •given hurls it with all his might at the "downs." If it is caught before it falls, one of the "ups" has to go over to the camp of the "downs" as prisoner of war; he is henceforth termeu a beast of burden. They jump on his back and ride him up and down in triumph; if, however, as frequently happens, it is not caught, the prisoner who is hit Ium to go from the camp to the "downs" ind receives similar treatment.

In ^be game of omades, a form of pitch #lid toss, or in the cafes, where the laea fight over their cards and laby­ rinth games, the disputes often take jdarming proportions. In this charac­ teristic they are Greek, and undoubt­ edly theirs is the sensible view to take #1 the matter--squabble only when there is something substantial to be gained by so doing. \ You* Gonldand His Wife married life of Mr. and Mrs. Gould is said by Mr. Gould's tends to be model in all respects. A years ago this son of a sixty-mil- aire was inclined to travel a little inore rapidly than is prescribed by or­ thodox laws, and for a time he didn't care much who knew it. Indeed, the gossips insist that he was doing Daly's with a rather merry party wnen the present Mrs. Goula made her first im- Cission on him. However that may it is undeniable that he has given ®P the society of his formed associates •ince his marriage, and that he goes iowhere now, excepting, of course, on business errands, without his pretty It is no uncommon thing to see them at the theater together, usually fa • box, though sometimes in a party, ft osh from a tempting dinner made IPore enjoyable by a ten-mile spin on the road.

In the games that have been going on in Wall street during the past months he has taken no insignifi- feant part, and where he did not hold a hand himself he knew what hands Ike other fellows held.
