Progressive Game.

Arrange the room with small tables
to seat four at each, Just as you
would for progressive whist, and
make up your minds what game is to
be played at each table. At one
there might be the marble and pen
ell game, in which the task set is to
lift the marble up with two pencils
and deposit it in basin, a difficult
teat, as you will find when you try.
AT another a racing game might be
provided, and at a third the alpha,
Detical geographical one might reign.
Tor which pencils and pieces of paper
VIII be wanted, since the task set is
70 write down as many names of
places that begin with given letter
In given time as possible.
Having decided upon the different
games, the players must be seated.
and as soon as one wins a game or
test at one table he moves on to the
next, proceeding as fast as possible
on MS way to prize. for prizes are
given to those two who first come in
winners, and BOBBY one to the in.
dividual who arrives last.

charades of a Moment.

Here are some charades that can
be produced in a moment without re-
curing any scenery or other prepare
ton. They may be called table cha
rades," because most of them need
only the ordinary things to be found
in any dining room.
Tie bit of ribbon in bow to a Ia
BILE knife. The answer is "a Gay
Blade"
The dinner bill with the same bit
of ribbon attached to 1t represents the
Belle of the Room" Lay a coin on
the table and fork or two on top of
1t. The group signifies "Forking Over
the Cash" The cayenne pepper cas-
ter placed alongside of a salt cellar
represents "a Hot Seller" CELLAR.
The vinegar cruet by the side of
bunch of grapes, of course, means
Sour Grapes" Spoons placed on each
side of a pair of anything, such as
napkinrings, knives or forks, repre-
sent "A Spooning Pair" A match and
two bowls in line, of course, show "A
Match at Bowls" Two matches along
side of a spoon and a napkin ring
mean Matched, Not Mated" A
cracked china plate stands for "The
Partition of China"

as they are mystifying.

simple as they are mystifying.
Draw bird on one side of card,
directly in the center. On the other
side of the same card, also in the cen
ter draw cage, of a size suitable
to hold the bird. Pas cord through
each end of the card so that when the
latter is suspended by these held In
the two hands, both bird and cage
will be right side up"
Hold the card up to view, the cage
side toward the spectator, and say,
Now bat your eyes and / will put a
bird in that cage" At the same time
begin to twirl the strings so rapidly
that the image of the cage has not
time to vanish from the vision before
the bird is in full view, and vice
versa.
Be careful always to have the twirl-
ing stop with the cage side of the
card out, as in this way the mystery
may be prolonged for some time.
The illusions may be varied by hay
ing horse on one side Of the card
and rider on the other; dog run
ming on one side and a cat running on
the other; in the latter case, however.
neither figure should be in the center
of the card.

Guess who 1 Am.

This is a simple little game, but II
makes lots of fun. The advantage
about it is that it requires no thinking,
no knowledge of books, no prepare
ton Of any kind; it is just jolly
game to make boys and girls of any
age roar with laughter.
One Of the players is to be blind.
folded and the others stand about the
room as they please. The blindfolded
one then walks or gropes around until
he touches a player, and the player
touched must then stand still and
make noise in imitation of some ami.
NAL. say cat, dog, COW, a pig or
a horse.
If the blindfolded player chooses he
can have the sound made three times
and If he then guesses the name OF
the person the person takes his place.
II he does not guess correctly he re-
leases the player and tries again.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1905-04-25
How. When and Whore.

One of the company goes out Of the
room, whilst the others choose word
to be guessed, one with two or three
different meanings being the best.
We will suppose that the word
Spring has been thought of. When
the person who is outside the room is
recalled he Tor she) asks each one in
succession, How do you like it?" The
answers may be DRY" (meaning the
season., cold and clear Ia spring of
water), strong" Ia watch spring..
and high" Ia jump. The next ouesr
lion is: Where do you like it?" Ana
The answers may be: Anywhere and
everywhere" I'm hot weather" I'm
the clock" The game is to try and
guess the word after any of the an
swers, and IL right the player last
questioned takes the place of the one
who is guessing; If wrong, the cues.
toner must try again.

The Rev. DR.. Newman smyth of
New Haven, who has lately been try
ing to reform Connecticut politics,
told a funny story the other night of
two Scottish ministers who were max
ing New Years calls together among
the members of their congregation. 1t
seems on such occasions 1t is custom
airy in Scotland to bring out bottle
of Scotch" for the entertainment of
the clergy. Having paid several Wis
Its, one Of the parsons began to be
little worried, and suggested to his
assistant that 1t might be we'll for
him to stay behind (while he himself
went ahead) and see whether he no
ticed any popularity in his walk. AT
