Left-Hand Party Makes Much Fun.
You have birthday parties. Christ
mas parties. surprise parties anc
why not have a left-hand party? Try
it; you will find it lots of fun.
Just before the time for the arrival
of your guests. put your right hand
in sling and receive them in that
way. Have a sling ready for each
guest. so that his or her right hand
may be imprisoned on arrival. A striI
of any kind of soft cloth will do fol
the sling. but it would add much tc
the effect il you would select bright
colors.
When all your guests have arrived
you begin your left-hand amusements.
These amusements may be of various
kinds. First, provide a sheet of paper
and pencil for each guest. and have
him write a certain sentence with his
left hand. They should all write the
same sentence. and when 1t ia done
gather the papers and award a prize
to the one that has done the best.
Then tack broad sheet of white
paper to the wall. and have each
guest draw a picture of an animal on
it. using colored crayons. For this
a prize may be offered, too.
II your party is held in the day
time you may have much amusement
by playing outdoor games with the
left hand. say, croquet or throwing
balls at mark or pitching quoits.
There are many ways in which the
sport may be varied, and the awkward
efforts made with the left hand will
give the players more enjoyment than
any game played in the ordinary way.
When the sport is over ask your
guests to the refreshment table. and
there the fun will be renewed. for
they must rely wholly on the left
hand to help them in eating.

masseur. He never leaves the house
at Copenhagen, but is able to move

Possibilities Of a Future BY No Means
Remote.

AS the urban population which must
be fed from the farms increases, the
tillers of the soil become fewer in
number and poorer in quality. Those
who remain to care for the crops have
one fault which the city dweller is
quick to notice. The worker somehow
does not put the spirit into his tasks
that the eight-hour-day man In town
exhibits. The city boy grows up in
an atmosphere of hustle. With his
ability to make every moment count
the city-bred man may get out of a
farm immeasurably more than the av.
erage rural resident. Agricultural
schools and business instinct and
training are not bad substitutes for
farm breeding; and 1t will not be SUI

CONSCIENCE-HAUNTED MURDERER
THERESA HEATING CONEESSES HIS GUILT

Shrouded in deepest mystery for
two and one-half years, the Keating
murder, the sensation of the year at
Rochester. N. Y, is now solved. The
conviction of August Russell for the
strangling of Theresa Keating on the
night of Nov. 20. 1900, does not alone
depend on the mans confession.
There is corroborative evidence of
the strongest kind.
The death of Miss Keating horrifed
the entire State. Ofiicials were scored
for failure to unravel the mystery.
The solution shows how such a crime
may be committed, and. II the MUIR
