Selling FOrfeits.

This lie a game with lots of fun in 1t. The
leader should be good tinker, and not one
easily embarrassed, FOR he has TO act as
auctioneer, and can add much to the interest
of the game by his manner of conducting the
sale.
The forfeits consist OF orders to do certain
absurd or ludlcrous things. and these orders
should be prepared In advance, as many as
there are players. They are written on
slips of paper. and the slips are put into en-
velopes, which are then sealed and mum
bered from one up. No one must see the
forfeits or orders but the person VINO WIRES
them; this work would naturally fall TO the
leader.
The players take seats in circle, OF

The Rival Dinners.

There had always been the keenest RI
yalry between the Brook King and the Pond
King, and when the former heard that the
latter was about to give dinner on the very
same night as that for which he had already
sent out invitations he was so excited and
angry that the very brook In which he had
made his home swelied with rage, so that
the people living along Its banks marveled
and said, one TO another, that there must
have been terrible storm In the mountains
the night before. the brook was SO swollen.
The Brook King, having sent out his invi-
tntions first, felt justly that his dinner party
should have the precedence, but alas! the
home of the Pond King was so much more
spacious, and the subjects whose duty it
wns to fulfil his orders SO much more nu-
merous that all the appointments of bis ban
quets could not fall to be as they should be,
while as for the quarters of the Brook King,
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1903-05-31

cramped as they were between two banks,
decorate and beautify them as he might, It
could not be denied that they were small.
And then, most important of all, he was CIV
ing the dinner principally in the hope OF
pleasing particularly lovely little nniad
who had long since won his heart by her
beauty and grace. and now he could NOT
doubt that she would so to the dinner which
promised to be the finer of the two
The poor little Brook King thought it all
over until even the cooling waters of the
brook could not keep his head from aching,
and he finally wrote a note to the Pond King
telling him how matters stood and begging
him to defer his dinner. This mlssiye he
sent by mlnnow, who was to wait for an
answer He was not kept waiting long. for
the Pond King at oree wrote note in which
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1903-05-31

he declared that he was truly sorry things
had happened as they had, but as by the
gre" .est exertions he had made the pond
lilies, which were to be his sole decoration
promise to be In bloom during the dinner
he could not possibly change the date.
The Brook King was In despair. he was
positive that II the two dinners were given
on the same night his would be complete
failure. And suddenly. as he was brooding
over his troubles, n wicked thought came
into his head-if his dinner was not to be
success. why could he not do something to
nreyent the one given by the Pond King from
being a success? This Idea was no sooner
thought of than he took the first steps to
nut 1t into execution. He remembered that
lilies were to be the only decorations for
