Entertaining
Mew Year Guests

The game OF the Ave senses. com.
monty called perception" IL an ex-
cellent one with which to entertain
grown people or children. or both. ut
a New Years parry.
One method OF arranging the game
Is to have a table filled with things
TO look at. The guests are taken into
the o n or two nc a time and
given three minutes to look at the
objects on the table.
When all have see the objects each
Is provided with paper and pencil and
allowed three minutes to write down
a list OF all they can remember. The
one who displays the best memory Is
given the first prize.
The objects displayed on the table
may be OF any number. but for the
few minutes allowed for inspection
35 Is a good number. Inkwells. pens.
penholders. tea caddies. emeries,
thlmbles. book and any such articles
may be exhibited-except that when
two OF n object are given. such a.
two books. the color or some distin-
gushing mark about each should be
insisted upon and called attention to.
This method OF playing the game
calls upon but the sense OF sight. and
Is more easily arranged than when all
i've senses are appealed to. The lat.
ter. however. Is excellent fun and
gives scope for some originality and
a good deal OF cleverness.
In this case the guests are led into
the room Ave distinct times. each
time to smell. taste. hear. see and feel
certain objects.
II there Is a large party It ~ best to
ofer a prize for each OF the FIVE tests.
and have them written up after each
n Q Some care must be exercised In
the objects selected. especially In the
tasting. when nothing harmful or dis
tasteful should be allowed.
For this test. as well a. for the
hearing and feeling tests, the guests
are blindfolded or the room left ALSO

one Of his e~raliest miracles. II I,
'ellted. had TO do with 70 toring t.
lie two or three children.
There are two accounts OF the story
One slya that an Asian soai his two
sons to Athens to study. In route
they fell ln with q yillalnous innkeep.
or. who. to get their yaluablog. sloN
the two boys. aud cut their bodies In
to bits. which he put In his brine bar
rel To sell for pork. Then 81. Nicholas
having seen the crime In n vision
came to the spot. aud restored the
children TO life.
The other version says there were
three children. and that their would.
be murderer was a butcher.
In either case. st. Nicholas per
The Marshall republican., 1906-12-28

formed the miracle OF restoring them
To life.
This was the first net by which ST.
Nicholas proved his love for children.
The second bore still more strongly
ON the Santa Claus idea, for II was a
favor that he did at Christmas time.
A certain nobleman OF Patara was
so poor that he was unable TO give a
portion for his three daughters. and n
seemed impossible that any OF the trio
could get n husband. st. Nicholas,
learning OF their plight. came al
Christmas time and threw a purse
filled with gold into an open window,
The act was done es stealthily as that
OF the modern Santa Claus: the noble,
man could not tell who his benefactor
was, but he ave thanks and married
of the eldest daughter.
Next Christmas came another purse,
and the second daughter took a hus.
band.
When the Christmas OF the third
year approached. the nobleman's curl.
osity got the better OF him, and he set
himself on guard to see who Il. was
that left the money, When the saint
appeared. the nobleman came forward
and asked why so good an act should
be performed In stealth. Then the
patron saint of the children enuncl-
/ ated the great truth that the best acts
are those that are done for the Joy
OF doing. not the hope OF praise.
Thus centuries ago was proclaimed
what Is the best sentiment OF Christ
mas giving. The idea OF st. Nicholas
was so beautiful that II took It's place
among the great beliefs of the chill
dren. and In different forms II ID
found nearly every century.
' Both his name and his form differ
but everywhere his labor Is the same
In France. Germany, Russia and the
Netherlands he Is the embodiment oi
an essentially religious idea. but IN
England and the United States his of
fee Ia more a secular one.
France always represents Noel "a
the Infant Jesus, and In Germany. too,
the name Krist Kindel. corrupted here
into Kriss Krlngle. means literally the
Christ Child.
Even Japan has o Santa Claus,

INDIVIDUALITY.

Just as no two men have similar
thumb marks, just SO no two shoe
manufacturers have the same style
marks. Emerson shoes are not even
almost like' other shoes. Their
thumb mark has a decided individual
ity. They have ''snap and go' that
is not seen in other shoes. The Emer-
son shoe shows its high standard in
leather, in the cut and in the splendid
shoemaking. All of this goes to show
the 'unrivaled makeup OF this shoe.
This individuality was not gained in a
week. There are over 20 years of en-
deavor concentrated in this shoe.
