DR.. Cook, the holiness preacher ar

guilty but told the judge that he
had not heard from his first wife in

that the plea Of guilty be stricken
out and that plea of not guilty be
entered. The prosecution was non

it had witnesses to prove that Cook

wife little more than year ago.
Cook admits that he has two wives

Then you close your hand in such a
manner that the waXed nail touches
the dime and the dime will stick to 1t
Next you quickly open your hand drd

GUESSING NV Thouqht.

A good guessing game is called
guessing my thought" The leader
thinks of an object in view, and then
each player in turn has a chance to tell
what he thought the leader thought.
When they have all given their guesses
the first player tells his thought, and
then each III turn must show how his
thought was like it.
Another way of playing the game Is
to give each player a slip of paper and
a pencil, telling him to write the name
of some object on the slip and fold
dcwn the writing Then put the slips
irto a hat and mix them, after which
each player should take q slip from the
hat and write the name of some object
di rcrent from what he first wrote be-
low the fold Again the slips should
be folded down and put into the hat
ard mixed, each player taking one slip
out. He must then write few lines
of doggercI, connecting in some way
the two objects named on the slip he
holds, and when all are ready they are
read aloud 1t will be strange indeed
if this does not raise many laugh.
