HALLOWEEN FUN.

THE FATAL EYE TEST.

The ReveIers of 1912 Scorn the Old
Tricks Carried Out With Apples,

cd New Fun This Year.
Every year Halloween comes round,
and with it come the parties, the fun
and the various novel stunts which
are tried each year, always new ones,
If possible-tricks which the rest Of
the company do not know. Here are
a few which you have probably never
seen before.
Across one corner of the room place
sheet or large piece of cloth or paper
so that 1t touches the floor and extends
at least several feet above it. 1t should
be about four feet wide and should adj
join door. so that persons behind it
may enter and leave the room without
their passage being noticed. Now, cut
two small holes the size of eyes in this
cloth about four feet from the floor
You are now ready to proceed
Have all the ladies leave the room
and go into the room adjoining, the
one before whose door hangs the sheet.
Now, one at a time they come out very
softly and place their eyes to the holes
in the sheet. Each man in turn now

eyes peering at him through the holes
in the sheet
Whoever guesses right the greatest
number of times receives prize. You
will be astonished TO find how hard j.
is TO guess the owner of eyes that you
probably thought you knew well be
fore Another stunt is the feather test.
Procure a light, fluffy feather Place
two persons facing each other, so that
their heads are about eighteen inches
apart Throw the feather into the air
about two feet above their heads. Now
the object of these two persons Is to
keep this feather floating in the air by
blowing II up every time 1t starts to
fall. This sounds easy. but II is not
so easy as IL sounds. The air currents
will sometimes get crossed and then
you will see the amusing spectacle Of
the feather calmly settling Town be
tween them and TIE two pairs Of hu
man ueilows blowing into one anoth-
er's faces. Favors there must be for
the Halloween party. and the ear Of
corn with pumpkin head crowned with
a frllled cap is an attractive novelty.

A Name and a Pun.

The late Nathaniel Deering of Port
land began his career as a lawyer in
his native state of Maine in the little
town of Canaan. Among his acquaint-
ances and neighbors was Mrs. l.. NJ.
Child, afterward distinguished au-
thoress.
Being challenged one day by Mr..
Deering to produce a stanza in which
his name should be one of the riming
words, Mrs. Child took pencil and pa
per and at once replied as follows:
Whoever weds the young lawyer at C.
VIII surely have prospects most cheer

WILKES DEcoY NOTE.
II Proved Effective In Boomerang
Sort of Way.

Sort of Way.
Chief Wikie of the United States
secret service arose in the National
Press club recently and contributed
this one to the awful experience fund:
Ii happened when Wilkie was re-
porter and was doing might police"

One night in roguish effort to get rid
of the opposition for awhile Wilkie
wrote a note to himself, saying:
If you will come out to my house about
IL o'clock tonight | will give you the full
facts about that story.
Wilkie racked his brain for name
to sign to the note and finally selected
that of friend who lived So worth of
cab distance beyond the nearest street
car line. He left the message lying
carelessly on his desk at the Harrison
street station and then walked up to
the Dutchman'S on the corner to await
developments. When he returned to
the police station the note was gone
and also the opposition crowd of re-
porters. The desk sergeant said he
had seen them rush out in great
hurry after calling cab.
Next morning Wilkes enjoyment of
the joke was marred somewhat by the
fact that the opposition papers each
carried big defalcation story that his
sheet and the others represented by
his bunch didn't have, and his city
editor was peevish. The treasurer of
Smith, Brown & Co. had sailed for
the isle of whereabouts unknown with
$4,000. Wilkie wondered and won
dered how the story was dug up, but
he was a long while finding out
One day some four months later he
met the friend whose name he had
signed to the joke note.

you shortly after midnight some

"They utterly ruined a fine nights

Wilkie.
"No; there were too many of them.
/ didn't see anything to do but tell
them the story. They seemed to know
about it, and 1t would have been print

"What story?" asked Wilkie, begin
ming to breathe rapidly.
"Why. that Smith Brown defalca-
ton story"
"And how the Sam Hill did you
know about that?" demanded Wilkie
irritably.
ooh, was their head bookkeeper,"
the man said.
And Wllkie uttered a wild shrek for
restoratives.-Ex Exchange.
