A CLOTHESPM PARTY
BY MARY DAWSON.

How in the world are We going to
entertain them?" asked Ralph with a
doleful wag of his curly head.
The question was an important one,
for the kve lively cousins were expect
ed that evening and the usual games
seemed fairly worn to shreds.
There isn't a new thing in the house
to amuse them with" continued Elsie
despairingly. THE only thing new in
the whole house is that big basket Of
clothespins in the kitchen"
Suppose we give a clothespin par
ty::" the brother suggested. carrying
on the jest.
This was the birth of the idea. -Four
hours later the merriest frolic of the
season was in progress in the parlor.
Here are the contests in the order in
which they came. First was the
clothesline contest.
For this a piece of nice new clothes
line was stretched across the room,
about on a line with the heads of the
players, and the ends tied securely to
hooks on the opposite walls.
The new clothespins were divided
INTO TWO open baskets, an equal num-
Der in each, Two players entered the
contest at the same time. They each
took a basket and began operations at
opposite ends of the line.
The idea was to see which of the
two could place most pins upright on
! the rope in two minutes. Any that fell
off counted nothing.
The forbidden word game furnished
another lively hour. The clothespins
were equally divided among all pres
ent, each boy or girl receiving a gen.
erous handful.
1t was explained that during the next
thirty minutes certain familiar words
were to be prohibited and any person
| using one of them would be obliged to
forfeit a clothespln to the person who
detected him in the error.
The first words forbidden were he,
she, and, it. yes, no. OF course the fun
consisted in engaging other players in
conversation and asking questions
which would betray them into employ
ing the prohibited word. 1t was al
ways possible to win back lost pins by
trapping other people and thus replen-
ishing ones stock.
Clothespin bob made another eXcit-
ing development of the general plan
Some clothespins out of the ordinary
run in coloring were required here, SO
| four were painted with silver paint and
! five were gilded.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-09-06

Just before beginning the game the
clothesline was again stretched across
one end of the parlor and a row Of
| clothespins poised upon it. There we're
six implanted pins besides the gold
and silver ones.
The object of the game was to hit
the clothespins with a soft rubber ball
provided for the purpose. and knock
them off the line. Each plain clothes
pin counted one. each silver one three
and each gold one five.
Each boy or girl had five throws of
the ball. AS there was no thin glass or
bric-a-brac in the room, and the ball
was soft one, no damage to furniture
was possible even when the ball hap
pened to go wide of the mark.
The clever little host and hostess had
arranged a novel search contest TO fol-
low the ball throwing bout. This was
promptly initiated by re-collecting all
the clothespins and dividing them
equally into the two baskets.
The company was divided into two
Sides" One-half of the room was al
lotted to one side: the other half to
their opponents, and each side received
one basket Of the pins.
Each division set to work to hide its
clothespins as quickly and securely as
possible, tucking them away in any
fold, or corner or crevice that afforded
a shelter.
When all were hidden the two diyis-
ions crossed to opposite sides of the
room, in order that one side might
search for the trophies hidden by The
enemy.
Each player received from the host
ess a piece Of pasteboard cut in the
shape and size of broad bladed kitch-
en- knife. Any clothespins discovered
had to be scooped up upon It's blade. To
touch them with the hand was not al
lowed.
Now. any boy or girl who has ever
tried to carry a clothespin on a knife
blade knows that this requires much
care and dexterity. AS the baskets
neared completion the mirth grew fast
and furious. Excitement steadily in
creased, for the different members of
the division which should be first to fill
a basket were to draw lots for the COW
eted final prize.
Consolation gifts were amusing
caraway cookies, stamped out i'm the
shape of clothespins. baked to clothes
pin color and tied with pink ribbons.

Alleged Burglar Caught.

Constable ]. A. Carrico, of Brandywine
district, brought to Jail Sunday morning
Manisley Ford, colored, charged with
breaking into the store of Jacob Meyer,
at Cedarville, this county, early Sunday
morning.
About 1 o'clock Sunday morning a
neighbor of Meyers was passing the store,
when he noticed that the shutters on one
of the windows were open, and thinking
that something was wrong, crept up to
the window and closed the shutters, plac-
ing fence rail on the outside. He then
notified Constable Carrico, who went with
him to the store and found Ford inside
Ford was given hearing before Justice
of the Peace William H. Squires, Of
Brandywine district, who committed him
to Jail for the October term of Court. At
the hearing Ford implicated another col
ored youth, James Edelen, who, Ford said,
instigated the plot to rob the store, and
when he heard someone coming down the
road ran away.
Edelen was caught and brought to Jail
Monday morning by Constable Carrico.

Danger Averted.

Governor Smith Tuesday, received a
letter from General George H. Harries,
commanding the District of Columbia
militia, in reply to a letter addressed to
General Harries the latter part of July,
protesting against the further use of the
Ordway rifle range, which is located near
Landover, this county, by the District OF
Columbia National Guard
The residents of this county in the
neighborhood of the range have been
greatly annoyed by the practice carried
on there and one woman was seriously
wounded by stray bullet. The Govern
or took the matter up at the request of the
County Commissioners.
General Harries assured the Governor
that all further cause of complaint had
been eliminated, and he has issued orders
to Major Bell, who has had charge of the
range, to 60 to the extreme of construc
ton so that all possibility of danger to
persons not on the range may be avoided
and it is hoped this will end the contro-
versy between the soldiers of the District
Guard and the residents of this county.
