Some Games and Suggestions
For the Evenings Entertainment

them time is up and all men move
ilrward to the next places and the
girls hand their questions to the
girls in the back. Thus everyone
has a new partner and new ques-
ZION at every change. This is very
good game for shy people who know
how 10 talk very we'll if only they
can begin.
A game called History is one
in which young and old can take
part. Any number of persons may
play. Having seated themselves
around a large table or with books
in the lap on which to place the pa
per when writing, they take the let
ter 4 and write in five minutes all
the names of men prominent in
American history that they can re-
member beginning with that letter.
One person who acts as leader and
Judge gives notice when the time is
up and the player having the larg-
est list of names has the number five
put 10 his credit. very name per-
son misspells takes one from his
score, but not from his list. The let
ter B is taken next, and SO on, as
far down the alphabet as the play
ers wish to go. This game is in
structive as we'll as entertaining
and it needs no preparations before
hand.
ParlOr lacrosse is a jolly pastime.
Place at each end of long table
two glasses wide enough apart to al
low the passage of an eggshell from
which the egg has been blown.
Choose captains and sides. Each
captain kneels at each end opposite
his own goal, and the remainder of
the players are arranged along the
sides of the table, no two partners
together. Place the eggshell in the
middle of the table and all to blow
at the same time, each trying to
blow the egg into his own goal. The
!captans, being in front of the oppos-
ing goal, must try not to allow the
c@g to pass through, as this scores
he other side ono point. The num-
Der OF points is agreed upon before
ne game bgins.
lust Il hint about choosing games
Tor an entertainment. First of all,
do not tire your guests by having
700 many formal pastimcs. A few
games 20 a great way. If you have
Il rather serious game on the list, as,
ior example, the history game men
toned above. then follow it by one
that is more or less of rOmp. This
gives the players chance to relax
and they will be ready for another
game in which the mind must be
used to a greater degree.

In the country districts and towns
The same Old games have been played
lsr generations, and have been play
cd out. Something new, something
Letter, seems to be wanted.
A match social is lots of fun. You
will have TO gather large supply
Of burned matches for this occasion.
Simply invite the guests to a
Matchmaker Sociable" but give no
further description Of what it is to
be like. Cut slit in the top OF
each invitation and insert burned
match in it.
Arrange games in which match
sticks should be used. For instance,
they make good jack straws. For
the hooks, insert bent pins in the
top of long match sticks. Let each
girl and boy see how many sticks he
or she can hook off of the heaped
up pile without moving any of the
others a particle. Failing in this.
it is the next persons turn to try his
or her luck. Give each boy and giri
two matches which they must Jug
gle, tossing first one and then the
other in the air. The player who
keeps his matches up the longest
wins the game. The first failure
PUTS the juggler out. Then have a
contest, lasting three minutes. during
which period the players see who can
make the longest line of matches.
Two or three players can race at
one time, according to the width of
through several rooms, if they are
quick enough
The subway game is fun and is
easy to play. 1t is especially good
to introduce at a party where people
have met for the first time and where
the atmosphere Is somewhat re-
served. Prepare slips of paper with
questions written upon them
questions that would start CONVEX
s,tiOn like. what Is your favOritc
bcOk? or Where would you like to
travel" What is your fayOritc
sumner paslimc?" ''Do you like
work, and why?" Arrange the chairs
in two lines, by twOS. leaving an
aisle between the two rows SO tina:
il Is like a train with double seats
on each side of the aisle
The girls are told to enter the
outside seats farthcst from the aisle,
and the boys take the other seats.
The questions are distributed and
the players are allowed three min
utcs' conversation on the subject
mentioned in the paper AS usual
ly happens in real subways. they
have to leave in the middle of their
talk, for the conductor" informs

VIRGINIA OUTLAWS LOCALIZED AND
FIERCE FIGHT is NOW SCHEDULED

Hillsvilc. Va, March 20.-MesseR.
gers froli the posses guarding the
roads in the mountains have reported
the courthouse assassins at point
about FIVE miles from Floyd Aliens
home. Every available man in Bills
vile has hurried up into the hills in
the hope of surrounding them before
they get away.
A man Oh gray horse covered with
foam galloped into town and had a
hurried conference with Detective
Felts, heal of the posse here. Every
available man was called for duty and
strong body of men galloped off.
The preparations were. on the line
of an attempt to starve out the assaS-
sins. The posse spread over the
roads and the crossroads in an at
tempt to cut off supplies and probably
medical attention. 1t was reported
that a physician, friend of Sidna
Aliens, mad stolen out and dressed
his wounds on Saturday.
Allen himself was reported to have
been seen coming down the trail from
Squirrel Spur. The posse beat the
bush between Wards gap and Har-
per's gap but did not find trace OF
him. Detective Dan Baldwin started

through the Ararat river country to
meet the Hillsville posse working up
over Volunteer. gap. This area is
wilderness of swamp and bush.
Jack Allen, one of the brothers who
did not take part in the courthouse
assassination, came to town to con-
suit lawyer about the attachments
which the authorities are making on
Sidna's and Floyd's properties. Allen
said his brothers probably would fight
to the last ditch.
Sidna's wife tried to get the prose
cutor to exempt her husbands store
from the attachments, but he refused
About $4,000 of his property has been
tied up for the heirs of his victims.
Womans nerve hasn't been lacking
in HillsTille, although the stories of it
have been delayed. When Clerk Goad
was fighting pistol battle with two
of the Aliens his daughter ran to his
side with a freshly loaded revolver
and probably saved his life,
1t is not unlikely that Governor
Mann may declare martial law in Car
roll county. Troops could picket the
roads and passes so that escape would
be almost impossible.

twenty-five Thousand Employees Will
Be Benefited.
Especial to The Free Press.I

Especial to The Free PreSS.1
Boston, March 20.-Within the
week beginning today raises in
wages will become effective which
will increase the pay of nearly 175, 200
textile operatives in New England.
At Fall River the $4,000 employees
of nearly hundred print mills will
get five per cent. raise next Mon
day. The cotton mills of Chicopee,
Taunton and Holyoke, and the Wor-
cester Wooden Mills, have also an.
nounced a five per cent. increase,
which will be in effect within a
week.
1t is estimated that the general
advance of five to seven per cent.
will result in an increase in the pay
rolls Of all the textile manufacturers
amounting to total of $5,OO0,09U a
year. -..
In some of the mills the raise
will be as much as twelve per cent
for some classes of workers, but in
general the advance will be re-
stricted to five per cent. There are
about 100000 textile workers in
New England, and eventually it is
expected that all of them will get
increased pay.

GIANT LOAN SHARKS
FEED UPON PEOPLE
Methods of Extorti0n Used BY
These vultures.
ONE LAND CONCERN A VICTIM
How the Wolf Grabbed Up the
Large Irrigated Tract; Show
Their Teeth.
Especial to Tile Free Press. ]

Chicago, March 20.-Giant loan
sharks" whose loans are made to
corporations and in sums as large
as millions, have been disclosed by
the investigations in Chicago made
of loan shark methods. The rule
of extortionate rates seems to hold
good regarding these 'plutocratic
money grabbers" and curiousIy
enough the net result of a deal with
them has proved to include in many
instances transfer of ownership
in the business to which the loan
was made. The experience of one
land company in Florida which Sc
cured a loan OF over 100000 at a
rate of Is per cent bonus and per
cent. interest was reported thus:
How 1t All Happened.
The security required was absolute
title to all the Land holdings and
contracts Of the company and the
loan concern first put man in
charge OF the lcolppany's finances,
then another man in charge of the
land sales. Soon afterward the en-
plOyes of the company were drop
ped one by one, until only the officer
who was featured in advertisements
remained. From that time on the
land company was a mere fiction by
which the lender avoided RESPONSE
bility to land buyers although all
the cash paid in monthly by the
thousands who had bought on the
installment plan was seized upon
and accounted for by the loan COM
pany's agents according to the meth
DDS approved by the loan company.
Another Instance Of Graft.

an irrigated tract finally found the

that they owed the loan shark

lending field afessfouBd to have mys-
FERROUS relations to certain bankers

warfare against the loan shark will
be extended to the big ones is a
problem that federal agents are said
to be looking into. ~.

Judge Philip E. Brown of Luverne,
who took his seat as an associate

health and has talked of resigning.
He has given the governor some in
timation, but it is said that he has
not made "a final decision. Judge
Homer b. Dibell of Duluth has been
urged for the appointment, but 1t
is understood that Judge Quinn has
been decided on. He has presided
in the seventeenth judicial district
since 1897, and has strong per-
sonal following in Southern Mime

time district judge, but was elected
