A Tangled String Contest

THE tangled string contest IS sure to amuse
l. even those not easily entertained, for it holds
ones interest to the end. The PLAYERS sit in
rather a close circle, sheet OF white wrapping
paper or large piece Of cardboard IS placed in
the lap Of each, then on each sheet Of paper IS
dropped a ball Of tangled string. The strings
composing each ball are Of different lengths
and different colors, the longest being not over
one yard in length. These are prepared before
hand. They are cut, then massed and tangled
into balls about the size Of an orange, and
there IS one for each player
The contest consists in each players dis
entanging the strings Of her ball, sorting the
colors, placing each color in a bunch by itself
then tying the ends together TO make one long
string of each color. When a player has tied
her red, blue, and white strings separately to-
gether, she ties the red to the white, the white
TO the blue; and if her next neighbOr on either
side has any loose blue or red strings in her
sorted piles the first player may confiscate
them one at time and tie them to her own
blue OF red string. confscated string must
be tied before another may be taken, and only
united strings may be distracted
1t doesn't matter what the cOOrs are, they
may be blue, yellow, or green, but a players
loose strings that match her neighbor's end
strings NAV be appropriated by that neighbor
The only redress the robbed player has Is to
tie her strings as fast as she can, and then, in
her turn, take from her other neighbor. No
strings may be tied together until a player
has succeeded in untangIng her own ball and
sorting her cOlors.
1t IS quickness of thought and action and
deftness Of fingers that tell in this contest,
but perseverance and patience also count for
as much agility.

toward their partners bags.
When the music stops for the third time the
game IS ended. The peanuts IN each bag are
counted by an umpire, and the two PLAYERS
who have secured the greatest number Of nuts
are the winners.
Paper bags that VIII hold about three quarts
are the proper size to use, and, considering the
frenzied play Of the competitors, it will per
haps be safer to substitute shallow tin pans
for the china plates One pint Of peanuts for
each plate holder will be sufficient
New-York tribune., 1907-02-24

Peanut toss IS another amusing game. It
requires an even number OF players, but they
may be few or many. Half the players are
provided with plates of peanuts, the other
half with paper bags. The plate holders and
bag holders are drawn up in two lines facing
each other. about ten feet apart, the plate
holders on one side, the bag holders on the
other. Some one plays a lively air on the
piano, and while the music lasts each plate

LOGAN 6 BRYAN ON WHEAT.

Especial Wire to Duey & Oyerlock)
 NEW YORK, July 24.-The day be- gan with some left over selling pres sure from the close yesterday. All at once the offerings dried up. Sold out local longs tried to replace some of their wheat. Shorts also became active buyers The wires brought bullish news from all quarters. That the market did not hold better was due to the fact that the outside trade is small and local longs in trying to secure profits, take the trade off the market. Black rust is reported in Minnesota by very reliable people sending reports and reports from both North Dakota and Manitoba continue bullish on crop outlook. Southwest markets and Chicago show ing a terrible falling off in receipts from last year, and believe there are many elements in the situation which warrant conservative traders in buy ing wheat on any and all set backs and ITices.
