This week wo print. Just for the Miko of variety, a game that Is quite different differ-ent from thos3 we have used, Innsmuch ns It Is not connected with any lesion whatever, unleBS It should be natural history, Ftlll, It Is lots of fun, nnd wo nre sure that our little frlendi will not tire of It for n very long time.
