These should always be arranged long

have invited friends, you should make
sure of pleasing them as we'll as feeding
them. Some of the old games are still
the best Do you know rumorp 1t is
played in this way; Let the company be
seated in semicircle. A person at the
end whispers into the ear of one sitting
on his left short story, which is set
down in writing for future reference.
The second whispers it to the third, the
third to the fourth, and so on to the
last, who relates it O. loud, after
which the original is re ID, to the great
amusement of the company, for the two
versions are generally very different.
If you have friends who are good at
rhyming the game Of poetry is excel
lent. Here is genuine impromptu
rhyme composed by boy only years
old, who was playing the game with a
large company. The words given to him
were Russia, Prussia and armchair, and
after the time limit--fve minutes--was
up he read this:
First I'd go to Russia
And sit in an armchair,
And then I'd go to Prussia
And do similarly there.

ladies at the opera or parties very i'm
modest. He said he could not think
how any lady who respected herself
could look at ballet. The only books
he had ever read besides the Bible were

white Crook Last Evening.

The attraction presented at the Opera
House last evening was complete sue
cess and the White Crook Extravaganza
company was greeted with q crowded
house and the entire audience was more
than pleased with the play, as was
eyinced by their hearty applause during
the evening. The piece is staged elabor-
ately and the costumes were marvels OF
beauty. The specialties introduced were
all new and took we'll with the audience
and the solo selections by members OF the
company were all good. Three Old
Sports received their share OF applause
and the base ball girls also formed an in
teresting portion OF the evenings enter
tainment.
The aerial wonders, Edwards and Will
liams, on the flying ladders, performed
some wonderful ieats, and Cooley and De-
Witt, as the organ grinder and monkey,
we're excellent, especially the latter.

the idea that the White Crook company
was not a.good moral show, but last
evenings entertainment certainly dis
proved any such report or idea, as the
entire performance was treat.

A Soothing Car Ride.

The latest cure for insomnia is cheap.
The remedy was suggested by an old
doctor to whom despairing young man
had gone for advice "Of course" said
the doctor, Il could give you drugs that
would put you to sleep, but in the case
OF young man that is to be avoided.
The reason you cannot sleep is your
nerves are unstrung. That does not nee
essarily mean that you must put your
nervous system to sleeps by the use Of
drugs. What you want is a mild excite
ment, that will lift your nervous system
out Of the rut it has fallen into. The
best thing in the world to do that is a
trolley ride Don't try to settle upon a
particular route. just jump ON any car
that comes along. Don't even ask the
conductor where the car is going, but
just go along with the car. 1t will sure
ly come back some time to the point
where you took IT. II the route is eight
or ten miles long, so much the better.
One thing is certain-you will either
sleep during the ride or as soon as it is
over "-Philadelphia Record.
