BlindfoId Fun.

An amusing sport for a party is to
make a number Of tissue paper bags,
say one apiece, and fill them with can
dy, nuts or raisins Fill one or two OF
them with -four instead Of those things.
Tie them up with ribbons and hang
them on the chandeliers or doorways,
Then blindfold each person in turn
and let each one try to find bag and
break it open with stick or cane. III
she succeeds the contents OF the bag
are hers. If 1t should be the -four she
will get covered with that and be
laughed at for her pains.
The best part of this is that no one
knows who is going to knock the ones
filed with -four, as after they are
blindfolded each person must be turned
around and around until she doesn't
have any idea In which direction she
is going. So, even If she knew where
the bags of -four were hanging. she
couldn't tell whether she was going to-
ward one or not. Better still. have
some one who is not going. to try hang
up the bags.

FOR THE CHILDREN
The vain Rooster.

Old Jimmie Grice had rooster which
he loved better than anything else in
the world. The rooster also loved him
self better than anything else in the
world ROSTERS always do. When the
rooster got one Of his feet frozen old
Jimmie made him q wooden leg, and
he strutted around full of pride. be-
lieving that no other rooster in the
country was as fine as he, for no other
had wooden leg.
Colonel Shelton, a neighbor OF Mr..
Grice. passing one day, stopped to
chat. well. well! That's a great
chicken you've got there" he comment
ed, and the rooster pulled himself out
with pride to hear him say So Got a
wooden leg. Why don't you get him
set of false teeth?"
Mr.. Grice laughed, but the rooster
took it seriously. He knew he had no
teeth. He Rnew that Mr.. Grice also
had no teeth of his own, but that he
wore set of false teeth, and he droop-
cu anu pAutu AOr thOS6 AdlSe beSIu liz
his kind hearted owner attempted to
make him some.
How he managed, what material he
used, can't say. but he finally got
something done which the rooster could
put In his mouth without choking to
death. All day the proud. vainglorious
rooster strutted up and down, the adj
miration of all the hens in the neigh
borhood. but by night he was faint
with hunger, for, alas and alas, he
could eat nothing at all with his false
teeth inl He was ashamed to complain.
and he wore them like hero till he
wasted away and was finally found
under the roost one morning stiff and
dead-the victim of his own vanity.

able Rates.
II is more than probable that worlds
fair visitors will jump at the chance to
haye their lodging place right on the
grounds. The big hotel that has been
built for them is something new in
worlds fairs. 1t is called by the appro-
pirate name, Inside Inn, and is the
greatest inn that ever was built. This
splendid hotel destined to be one of
the gayest and most social spots of the
great exposition, is in the southeast
corner Of the grounds. in close prox-
unity to the plateau of states, and just
q short distance In the rear of festival
hall, the art palace and the main pict-
nre of the exposition. The intramural
railroad of the fair runs by the hotel
entrance and will carry passengers to
all the main exhibit palaces and all
grounds. The hotel is 400 feet wide by
500 feet long. and is three stories high.
with Wide verandas overlooking large
rart of the grounds. 1t is provided with
large rotunda, parlors, waiting rooms
and dining room and cafe that alone
seat 1880 persons, and has 1851 sleep
Ing rooms.
The rooms are let on either the
American or European plan, the price
being controlled by the size, location
and furnishings of the room. The rates
are reasonable, and they include the
admission to the grounds. So long as
tie visitor is guest of the Inside Inn
his daily admission fee Is practically
paid by the hotel. For Instance this
hotel will sign seven-days' contract
on the American plan for $21, which
covers lodging, three meals a day. and
daily admission to the grounds after
the visitor has become registered
guest. Payment Of this kind can be
made on an installnent plan.
