Then they have parties with an accom- paniment of dancing. if girls enough are present who do not belong to the church. But most of the young women join the church at 15 or 16, and after that will not indulge in 30 doubtful an amusement. Yet they have no hesitation in taking part in "stealing Partners" ''Twistifica- tion'' and Fancy Four."-games which do not differ much from dancing, except
 "The way we play lem Is this." said a young fellow who enlightened me on the subject; there's music to all of 'efn, and while the fiddle's a-goin' we skip aroun' and try to knock with the music. In Stealing Partner we all have partners, but one boy. and he picks out any giri he wants and swings. That leave another boy without partner. and he have to pick out girl and swing her, and so
 ''For Twistification,' we all gets in line, boys on one side. girls on the other. with room for a couple to march up between us in dancing step. At the end of the line they swing, and we all promenade. Then we form the line and start again.
 Fancy Four is c good deal like 'Twistihcation.' only two couples instead of one do the dancing and promenading. Of co'se these games ain't regular danc- ing. That wouldn't be allowed at most houses. They're Christian dancing" Post

PETERSON NOT INSANE
YOUNG MAN EXAMINED AS
 TO THAT MATTER.
Judge Jones Declines to Order Re moval of Former Bank Clerk Accused of Embezzlement
 from County Jail.

In the opinion of two physicians selected one by the government and the other by the defense, Fred W. Peterson. under a number of indictments for em- bexzlement from the Merchants and Planters Farley National Bank, Is sane..
 Peterson's sanity was ordered to be ex- amined by Judge Thomas c. Jones. pres siding over the United States Court for the Middle District of Alabama to deter mine whether or not he should be sent to a hospital for Iunacy.
 The examination took place yesterday in the Montgomery County jail. It last ed nearly an hour. ..-. .
 Written reports by both physicians were submitted to Judge Jones.
 The reports were lengthy and technical but both agreed that Peterson is sane
 On this report Judge Jones refused to take any action on the request of the counsel for the defense to remove his client from the County jail.
 The plea of insanity has, ever since the arrest of Peterson in New Orleans about a month ago, been the reliance of the de- fence.
 It will be remembered that about eight months ago Peterson left Montgomery for parts unknown. When his accounts as collection clerk of the Merchants and Planters-Farley National Bank were in- spected 1t was found that he was short little less than $500.
 His shortage was made good by his sureties. the Fidelity and Deposit Co. of Maryland and it was through the agency of this company that he was captured in New Orleans
 Peterson accepted the decision of the court phlegmatically. f.-.
 He will be- tried at the next term of the United States District Court and Peterson will probably remain in jail until that time. >F -. '~
