the side. On the paper Should be rhymes
that describe the future ina funny way.
Between each fortune have long strip of
blank paper Each one turns the wringer
until the written strip is out and the
naper is blank, when the written matter
is cut off with pair OF scissors fastened
70 the wringer with bit Of led ribbon
Then the next one turns until the blank
paper gives place to that written upon.
The objecl of the long blank between is
To give the person chance 10 turn the
crank for about a minute. Have the
blank portions of unequal length, so no
one will know just what to expect. Each
one who consults the oracle is obliged to
read aloud whatever is written on his or
her slip. The other guests will assist in
applying it to the future.
Whether to decide the future or to
assure ones desire supper partner, J ing
cross with popcarn rings is exciting. Each
man names his ring of popcorn aloud and
tries t. toss it over an upright stick at
the end of the room. Ii successful in
throwing the ring over the stick the lady
named is lis partner, but if he fails some
other NAV choose her hame if he wishes
to do 50.
While the clock is striking IL each girl
NAV retire TO an upper room and throw
a ball of yarn out Of tile window, krepli
fast hold Of the end. Whoever pulls at
the ball will be her future fate.
One way of bobbing for apples is to
place tub of water in the centre of the
floor. As many apples as there are
guests and all having initials cut in them,
are placed in the water, and great sport
is had bobbing for them. They must be
secured with the teeth. The initial on
the apple reveals the initial Of the future
mate.
In popping chestnuts each guest is
given three chestnuts. They are named
and placed on the hot Goals. The nut
that pops will be the unfaithful sweet
heart, the one that burns steadily will be
a loyal friend, but the one that burns
brightly, giving forth g flame, is the true
love.

Crittenden press. [volume] (Marion, Ky.) 1879-1907, 1905-06-29

Last weeks Press contained a
short editorial notice pointing out the
danger to the travelling public from
the recently installed fast passenger
trains between New York and Chica
20, put on by two rival railroads. In
that notice the following sentence oc-
ours: And they will keep on lower
ing the schedule until some day there
will come an obstruction. crash.
and pile of twisted iron. splintered
wood and human flesh. This pro-
phecy was verified the very day it
was printed. On its fourth trip be-
tween Chicago and New York the
fast flyer ran into an open switch at
Mentor, Ohio, when running sixty
miles an hour killing 10 persons
outright and wounding sixteen 9th
ers. Yet the Press makes no claims
to prophecy. Common sense deduc
ton makes it plain to Us that any
train of cars travelling near 1000
miles over an American railroad at a
rate of speed varying from sixty to
eighty miles an hour is bound sooner
or later to come to grief. Surely the
speed of railroad passenger service
should be regulated by Congressional
enactment to a point compatible with
comparative safety to human life. A
full account of the recent wreck is
published in another column of to-
days Press.

Il am indeed thankful for what

NOT VIOLATION OF SCRIPTURE
Clergyman Had Sufficient Reason for
Urging Divorce.

One of the Witnesses called in a Chi.
caso divorce case last year was a
highly respected clergyman In the
Windy City. According to one OF the
counsel In the case. the following con.
sersation took place between the
Judge and the minister. Said His
Honor:
DR. Blank. If you were on the bench
In my stead, and you were acquainted
with all the circumstances of this
case. would you grant this divorce?"
"Assuredly would. Your Honor"
replied the clergyman, without the
least hesitation
But said the indge. how do you
reconcile this assertion Nth the in.
junction OF Scripture. Whom God
hath Joined let no man put asunder'?'
Your Honor responded the min
ister. with convincing gravity. Il am
quite satisfied that the Almighty never
joined this couple. "-Harper's Weekly.
