Rnn with the wand.


Blind Mans Buff is so time-honored
and popular with young and old, that
one would think it impossible to de-
wise better game of the kind. The
newer game of Buff with the Wand,
however, is thought by many TO be
superior to the long established faV-
orite. The blinded person, with a stick
in his hand, is placed in the middle of
the room. The remainder of the party
form a ring by joining hands, and to
the music of merry tune which
should be played on the piano, they all
dance round him. Occasionally the
music should be made to stop sudden
ty, when the blind man takes the OPP
portunity of lowering his wand upon
one of the circle. The person thus
made the victim is then required to
take hold of the stick until his fate is
decided The blind man then aakeE
any absurd noise he likes, either the
cry of animals, or street cries, which
the captured person must initiate, try
ing as much as possible to disguise his
own natural voice. Should the blind
man detect who holds the stick, anC
guess rightly, he is released from his
post, the person who has been caugh
taking his place. If not, he must still
keep the bandage on his eyes, and hopt
for better success next time.

And while the hour grows cold and late
His fair frost-pictures doth create;
Hills that climb to the frozen skies;
Magic meadows that dip and rise;
Roads that run through the landscape
bright
Over rivers and out of sight;
Noble castles with turrets high,
Lords and ladies riding by;
Many wordrous tropic tree;
Forests of fern etched airily.
On frosty mornings the children run,
Outspeeding the weary winter sun,
With curls in tangles and faces bright,
To see what the artist has done in the

beyond the adjacent towns that are
more than 100 years old.

city is prosperous, but we still have
some loafers remaining. They will
always be with us no doubt. But
there is honest work in Columbia for
all who honestly want it.

HWHAT Is 4 TARE 2"

MANY men, although not as exemp-
larry as they should be in their own
lives, are yet at much pains to rear
their children correctly. The senti-
ment with them is, "Do as l say, not
as do" Such father-not far from
Cincinnati-is in the habit of getting
intoxicated, or on "tare," rather Of
ten. He endeavors, however, to hide
the fact from his children, but "little
pitchers have long ears" and children
know more of what is going on than
grown people frequently suppose.
One evening this exemplary parent
was hearing his little Johnny recite his
Sunday school lesson. 1t was from
the fourteenth chapter of Matthew,
wherein is related the parable of the
malicious individual who went about
sowing tares, etc.
"What is tare?" the parent inter-
rupted to inquire.
Johnny hesitated.
"Tell me, my son, what a tare is"
"You have had 'em," said Johnny,
casting down his eyes and wriggling
his foot.
"Had 'em 7" said the astonished pa
rent, opening his. eyes rather wide,
"why what do you mean, Johnny?'
"When you didn't come home for
three days last week." said Johnny,
81 heard mother tell Aunt Susan that
YOU was off on q tare."
The Sunday school lesson was
brought to an abrupt close, and John
nv, who knew too much altogether to
sit up any later, was sent off to bed.

Columbia Register.
The following from the Charlotte
Observer fits so well for Columbia, or
any other city for that matter, that
we reproduce it in the hope that the
good suggestions made will be needed
About ten years ago Charlotte was
emancipated from the habit of loafng
From that time it prospered. Form
erly, in front of each store, the pro-
fessionals sat upon dry goods boxes,
whitfield sticks and talked over the
affairs of men, women and children
in the town. One man made a rule
that there could be no loafing in front
Of his place Of business. He was con-
sidered reckless. A little later a cloth
ing house made the same rule. The
movement grew until today there is
not business house in Charlotte hav'
ing loafers in chairs and on dry goods
boxes in front of any store. They
have been driven from one store to
another until now the native local
loafer has no place of refuge except
amongst the transient guests at the
hotels. He still gets out at night and
sauats on chairs that he never pays
for at the hotels and loafs in disguise.
as a transient guest of the house.
Charlotte has prospered in proportion
as the loafng' habit has been broken
up. The loafer not only produces
nothing, but he saps the energies OF
the working man.
Some years ago The Observer wrote
of the emancipation of Fort Mill from
the loafing habit. The local paper at
Fort Mill copied the article and ex'

You ARE A BRICK.-A certain col
lege professor had assembled his class
at the commencement of the term, and
was reading over the list of names to
see that all were present. 1t CHANGED
that one of the number was unknown
to the professor, having just entered
his class.
"What is your name, sir ?" asked
the professor, looking through his
spectacles.
"You are BRICK" was the startling
reply.
"Sir," said the professor, half start
ing out of his chair at the supposed
impertinence, but not quite sure that
he had understood him correctly.
"Sir, I did not exactly understand
your answer"
"You are a BRICK" was again the
composed reply.
"This is intolerable !" said the pro-
fessor, his face reddening. "Beware,
young man, how you attempt to insult
me-"
"Insult you," said the student, in
turn astonished. "How have | done
it ?"
"Did you not say I was a brick -
returned the professor, with stlfied
indignation.
"No, sir, you asked my name, and l
answered your question, U. r. A.
Brick--Uriah Reynolds Anderson
Brick"
"Ah, indeed" murmured the pro-
fessor, sinking back into his seat in
confusion. "It was a misconception
on my part. Will you commence the
lesson, Mr.-ahem Mr.. Brick ?"

A NEW LIQUOR CASE.
John Porter Arrested for Giving or Sell

John Porter Arrested for Giving or Sell
Ing Intoxicating Liquors.
There is law on the statue books
which forbids the selling Or giving in
toxicating liquors to a minor. 1t has
been generally understood that John
was violating the law in this respect.
Saturday Chris Kirschbaum filed
complaint before Judge Abbey charg-
ing Porter with selling or giving in
toxicating liquors to a minor. Porter
was arrested and taken before Judge
Abbey and he was given a hearing.
States Attorney Winsor appeared for
the state, but Porter was without an
attorney and did not want one.
Several witnesses were examined and
they declared that Porter was guilty of
the offence. He had nothing to say in
his own behalf, other than that he was
not guilty Judge Abbey bound Porter
over to the November termn of court in
the sum of 5000 and he was placed in
