BAD FARGO BOYS
TO BE PROSECUTED
CHIEF GRANT ISSUES WARNING
THAT ovERTuRNING OF OUT.
HOUSES AND OTHER PHASES
OF PROPERTY DESTRUCTION
WILL NOT BE TOLERATED ON
HALLOWEEN.

II would like to have you issue a
said Chief Grant this morning, that
we will not tolerate any property de-
struction this year by boys who are
planning to have some halloween fun
either before or on that evening
There will be no overturning of out
houses or other property destruction
and the Fargo boys who attempt to do
this kind of mischief, which costs
money to repair, will be prosecuted to
the limit.
From now until halloween we will
have a number of plain clothes detec-
tives out every evening and it will be
their special business to safe guard
the property of Fargo citizens. We
have a plain clothes man who has
proved himself an adept at preventing
all kinds of crime this year, and he
will be in charge of these men from
now until Halloween and ! am conf
dent that If any of this work is at
tempted the boys will be promptly
nabbed
"The police department is not OPP
posed to boys having good time.
There is no one In the city who will
do more for the boys of Fargo than
will, IL the boys keep within bounds
and do not break the law. but l have
sworn to see that the city ordinances
of Fargo shall be enforced and any
boy or group of boys, who turn over
an clubhouse, breaks one Of the oity
ordinances. 1t may not appear very
much Of crime in the eyes OF the
boys but when you figure that it costs
from 50 to $40 in repair work for each
clubhouse that Is overturned, 1t will be
seen that IL the boys are allowed to
overturn several hundred of these. the
property damage will amount to sever
al hundred dollars"

, suggest that the holder of the opposite ends
should do likewise. OF course. it looks as
though you were holding two ends of separate
pieces of string, but glance at Figure 3, will
show how the string really is. Whilst the
childs attention is taken up trying to piece
his two ends, it is obviously easy to remove
the little loop (see small sketch X in Figure
~ and secrete it. After this is done, Of course,
your end of the strings appear joined as
in Figure A. This trick is really most effec-
tive, and after duly mystifying your little
audience, they will greatly appreciate being
told show it's DONE"
Leaving string tricks on one side for the
moment, / may mention very useful way
of treating string when asked las we often
are) to make pair of reins or whip-lash.
String for reins, in its ordinary state, has two
disadvantages-it is liable to break, and it
"cuts' when pulled. These can be obviated
in the following manner:
Take long piece of string and at one end
make loop Gig. -. Then pull loop Of
the strings long end through it Gig. q, and
through that loop pull another one and 90
ont is really kind of a crochet without
hook. The result of this will be to make
quite pretty chain Of the string, which
trebles its thickness and correspondingly pre-
vents it's cutting.
Returning to our tricks again; here is one
which, though it calls for piece of paper
and some drawing, really depends for its
effect on the springy quality of the string
used in making it.

have known this little trick 10 amuse, and baf-
fle, countless people, from children to elders.
At the same time its secret can easily be ex-
planned.
Another very effective trick, and one which
always pleases the little ones, is as follows:
You begin by telling how the mill hands in
textile factories piece or join broken thread
together, without the joint showing, and then
offer to demonstrate how it is done.
For this purpose you require piece OF
string about yard long. Knot its ends to-
gether, double it in two, and cut through the
doubled sides thus apparently making two
strings). Give two ends to child, and retain
the other two yourself. Then you explain you
will join your two ends without the joint show
ing, and invite the holder of the other two
ends to endeavor to do so at the same time.
This is how it is done: Knot the string to-
gether, and draw particular attention to the
Knot, because otherwise there is a tendency
on the part of the rising generation to think
that the knot is made when you join the
cut ends.
Now, in doubling the string, twist it Gas
in Fig u, and then when doubled your
string will really be looped at one end. (see
Fig p. You must not let this loop be
seen. but keep your thumb over it; Then
cut the two strings across Zig. about an
inch above where you are holding the hidden
loop, and. retaining the hidden end, give the
other two ends to child.
You then explain you will join your two
ends together without the joint showing, and

Take square piece of stiff paper or thin
card, and on the middle Of one side draw o
galloping horse Gig. u, facing to your left,
and on the middle of the other side draw a
rider Zig. q upside down, and facing to your
right Now, make two holes each end of the
card, and thread the two ends of piece OF
string through them (of course, a separate
piece of string for each end of the card).
Knot these to prevent their. slipping Fig. 81.
Take the paper up by the strings with the
horse uppermost: Let your little audience
stand at your side, and showing them the
horse tell them you will make rider appear
on it,
Then, by "twiddling," Ct can find no better
expression) the strings backwards and for
wards, the quick turning of the paper pro-
duees the effect of the man being on the
horses back
To wind up. there is another very simple
trick which always appeals to children.
Knot piece of string together, and loop
one end over child's upheld finger, then,
as in Gig. - place your first finger across
other end over the child's finger (see Fig p.
Now tell the child to hold the top Of his
finger with his other hand, to prevent the
string slipping. off. The impression the child
obtains by this is that the string is looped
Then, saying you, win remove it without his
taking away his hold from the looped finger,
by releasing one of the loops on your finger
Fig. q and pulling the other quickly, it is
easy to see how the trick is effected.
Tn conclusion, the writer, whilst not claim
ing any startling originality. for the tricks
in this article, claims that they are particu-
larly successful as a means of amusing
children.

g A. REMARKABLE COMBAT q

wolf seemed to realize that the job on hand
was decidedly more than he had bargained
for. The last contact of Dandy's heels had
sent him with crash against the hard rocks
that walled in the dell, and stunned him for
a minute or two; so, on recovering. he chang
ed his tactics. Running up to Dandy, he
waited until those terrible heels were eleyat-
ed in the air, when, jumping around with sur
prising agility, he lodged the kick and made
for his antagonists throat. The latter. how
ever, was on the lookout, and the lobo found
that the burro's other end was also armed for
battle. Before he could fasten on any part
of that lively animal, he was caught. at the
back of his ears by set of powerful teeth,
and in second his neck was broken. Not.
withstanding the fact that the wolf was kill
ed instantly, Dandy held on to him and occu-
pied himself for several minutes with beating
his vanquished foes body up and down on
the ground. Then, feeling satisfied that life
was extinct, he dropped the carcass, and, up
on calling him.. he followed me home as
though nothing. had happened to disturb his
equanimity. After the boys heard the story,
they unanimously agreed that he was indeed

to give few simple ways of amusing
the little ones with piece of string.
As rule string tricks are too much
'sabove their heads" but such as are men
toned here are, after being shown, capable
OF being explained to, and easiiy performed by,
quite young children.
tricks with piece of string at hand, the meth
cd OF each will be more readily grasped.
The first one l have chosen is a very ex-
asperating but laughter provoking idea, because
it looks so simple that people seeing it al
ways say. oh, l can easily do thatp and
promptly demonstrate that they cannot.
Here is the trick. You take a piece of
string, fold it in two and hold it between the
thumb and first finger OF your left hand (see
four inches above where you hold it. Then
bend the loop down towards you and chip it
between the finger and the thumb. (see
Fig; p
Now what you have to do is to put the
first aud second fingers of your right hand
through the two "holes" formed by bending
down the loop (see Fig. 3D., and with them
bring the original loop up to its former posi-
ton between the two fingers. A glance at
any further try the trick, and, however sure
you feel of doing it, the result viii, in nine
cases out of ten, be to get your fingers knotted
up. as in Figure B.
The correct way to do the trick is this:
Having folded the loop down, insert the
tips Of your fingers in the holes" and pull
downwards; then clip them together. and re
lease the tip of the loop from your thumb.
You will then find the loop is between the
two fingers (see Fig. g.

of large species, known as the lobo. Dur
ing the night his burroship had broken out
of his stable and wandered several miles out
into the country. His owner, going to seek
him, was an eyewitness to his fight with the
wolf and thus described it:
my burro was quietly grazing in little
grassy dell lying between two walls of jutting,
ragged rock, when the wolf came trotting
along, with his head close to the ground, as
if trying to trail something-this being char
acteristic of that species. He did not see

tumbling his enemy over and over, and nearly
pounding the life from him. This perform
ance was repeated again and again, until the
