Grandfather, who was sitting by the
fire. had been listening quietly to the
conversation. Now he seemed to be
chuckling to himself over something
and when one of the folks remarked
that none of them could expect to get
ahead of Clarence on words, he smiled
harder than before. But none of them
noticed it. Grandfather was supposed
to be asleep, and, therefore, not inter-
ested in what was going on.
The next evening it was apparent.to
the older members of the family that
Will, Nell and Clarence had each
found very long and unusual word.
They said nothing, but they looked i'm
portant, and after father had spelled
'chronogrammatical," the longest

There was hearty applause when

going to closet, brought out very
large medal with the words, "Cham-

as she was about to hang 1t
on the boys neck, grandfather sur
prised them all by crying out:

A Pretty Game for AN Evenings Young
Folks Entertainments.
A pleasant way for party of young
people to entertain themselves at an in
formal gathering is for them to try to
distinguish each other by seeing the
eyes alone. Pin a showl across the
doorway about five feet from the floor.
Cut two holes in large sheet of wrap
ping paper, or newspaper will answer
the same purpose, which will show the
eyes distinctly, but will not expose any
other part of the face.
If anyone present possesses talent
for drawing, the paper which is tc
serve as mask could be decorated with
a mouth and nose, put on with brush
dipped in India ink This would add to
the grotesque appearance which the
shawl, surmounted by the mask, will
present. Eyebrows might also be
painted.
When the paper in pinned above the
shawl the company should be divided
into two parties, one to remain in the
room as spectators and guessers, and
the other to go behind the scenes"
(otherwise the shawl as performers.
If there are over half dozen of the
latter line should formed: the one at
the head stands behind the mask so
that his eyes are distinctly seen by
those in the room, and another of the
performers asks:
Who owns the eyes?"

the one who has taken his turn goes

Fishing for Another Man.
Among the crowd of spectators
watching knot of fishermen on the
Troy line pier the other morning, was
an elderly Afro-American, who wore
an Anticipated plug hat, a long linen
buster and pensive look. He was

the i'll luck of the fishermen it was
evident that he knew a thing or two
about entrapping the finny tribe, al
though it subsequently was developed
that he wasn't an adept at unlocking

Not even nibble had agitated the
brother occasionally vented his disap-
proval of the piscatorial procedures
with vigorous ''humph." Finally one
of the anglers wandered across West
street to pilot schooner across bar
to capacious haven, relinquishing his
line to the Disguised gentleman of color.
Instantly smile overcrept his fea-
and umbrella, pulled his plug hat over
his ears and slowly drew one of the
lines out of the water. Then he stripped
the hook, took a fresh worm from the
bait can. slapped it three times between
his hands. slipped it on the hook, spat
on it three times and tossed it over
board, eXclaiming three times:
"Cudgy, cudgy, cudgy."
What's that?" asked fat fisherman
sitting near by.
That's medicine answered the son
of Ham, adding contemptuously: "You
Just wait
The crowd waited expectantly. The
medicine was good. for in less than five
minutes the colored man yanked big
blue eel to the surface and flung him
with flop on the pier behind him.
What did / tell you?" whooped the
black man excitedly. Seems to me
you people don't know nothin' bout
catchin' eels.''
''You amt got him yet. He's getting
away" yelled the crowd.
The eel, which seemed all muscle and
resolution, was not accepting capture
passively. He twisted and wriggled !
about like snake, and was rapidly
nearing the edge of the pier when the
darlSey jumped up and clutched him.

and perspiration dripping from his fore.

For minute or two eel stock took
tumble, but went up again, when the
vicinity became filed with eel, Afro

The colored mans eyes bulged until
they seemed likely to fall out as he
saw the eel slowly but surely slipping
from his grasp. A dock man came to
his rescue and cut off the cells head
with knife. This ended the struggle,
and as the colored man walked over to
his boat his pensive look returned and
he sagely remarked:
