FORFEITS FOR FUN.

In the evening games of winter
gatherings of young people, and
older ones too, it often becomes
necessary to punish some one, or
more, of ,the company by imposing
a I" Forfeit" The penance should
be something that eitheris not easy
to follow out to the letter-this is,
has some catch in it, or puts the
person in a conspicuous and anus
ing light. In all cases a forfeit
should be designed to amuse the
company as whole and never to
offend the person called upon to
pay it. In order to illustrate our
idea of a good forfeit, and also to
furnish suggestions to those who
enjoy and take part in such plea
SAINT amusements, We give few OF
the forfeits which may be imposed.
Put newspaper on the floor in
such way that two persons can
stand on it and not be able to touch
each other with their hands. This
forfeit has the honor of being old,
but it was not our good fortune to
meet it until a short time ago, and
were forced to "give it up" By
putting the paper in doorway,
one half inside, and the other half
outside of the room, and closing the
door over it, the two persons can
easily stand upon it, and still be
beyond each others reach.
To get out of the room with two
legs; and come in with six. Not
difficult if one thinks to bring q
char along on the return.
TO act the dumb servant. The
person who has the for
felt to pay must act out the
answers to the questions put by the
master of ceremonies; as, how do
you make your bread? How do
you eat soup? etc. This forfeit
will cause much merriment il
proper questions are put.
Put one hand where the other
can not touch it. One can get out
of this difficulty by putting one
hand on the elbow of the other
arm.
Place a pencil on the floor sc
that one cannot jump over it. May
be done by putting it close to the
wall of the room.
Put question that no one cal
answer with a NO This is not hare
if one thinks to ask, what doe
YES spell?
Push a chair through tinge
ring. This forfeit is made by put
ting the ring on the finger ans
, pushing the chair-any other oh
ject will do as well-with tn
finger. This last much resemble
, the next.
, Put yourself through key hole
This was a great puzzle to us TO
awhile, but when piece of pape
e was taken with the word "youl
: self written upon it, and pushe
through the hole, it was clear
There are many other of thes
amusing little tricks, but thes
given will suggest others, an
help to make the social winte
i gatherings the enjoyable time

CLUB MEN EXCITED.
TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR DEBT AS
A CHRISTMAS PRESENT.
rectors and Accounts-Some of the
Figures in the Case.

There is more or less trouble in the
California club.
There is an election of directors called
for Saturday, and directors meeting will
not be held until Sunday.
That is where the rub comes.
The old board of directors are candi-
dates for reelection, and the fact that
there is large deficit for the year, will,
it is thought by the opposition, initiate
against their chances of success.
The accounts of the club do not make
very satisfactory showing. In general,
they are as follows:
Due from members. ................s 1000 25
Expenses of the restaurant ....... 1881 SO
Labor. Observation-Disclosures. 9,797 20
Total ........................... 23,6SS 98
Receipts OF the restaurant ......1 1887 80
Deficit .... ...................s s1O,55l OS
The fact that the meeting of the club
at which these statements will officially
be made public will not be held until
after the election, has caused unfavor-
able comment on the present board by
the opposition. The debt is a serious
one, and there are, it seems, members
who think that it shows inefficiency on
the part OF the present board. Anent
feature of this matter some one has
addressed the following letter to this
journal:
EDITORS HERALD: Allow me to an
swer to the recently published letter of
ga Member of the Club" (the Califor-
mia, suppose) asking about the cumu-
lative vote.
All incorporated societies have the
right to vote cumulative ticket, except
"social, religious and benevolent socie-
ties"
1t is true that two years ago the mem
bers of the club voted cumulative
ticket, and the vote was considered
good, because, probably, at that time,
il was convenient to have the "cumu
lative" man elected; but this year, it
would be quite different, as the cumu-
lative voting could introduce in the
board two or three members who would
not be ''persone CRATE" to the other di:
rectors.
1t seems rather extraordinary, that in
club where we have the best lawyers
and judges, the memo censetur igno-
rare legem" could be forgotten or re-
membered according to the case.
