sPALDING TO CONTINUE
AS CHIEF JUSTICE

Hon. B. F. Spalding, the pres
ent Chief Justice Of our state
Supreme Court will be his own
successor. The Search-Light has
interviewed a large number Of
lawyers and laymen as well from
different parts Of the state and
it is certain that Judge Spalding
will be his own successor unless
he should absolutely decline to be
q candidate, which it is hoped he
will not.
Without discredit or discount
egy to any other member Of the
Bench, The Search-light believes
that it but fair to say that he
is regarded as the ablest jurist in
the state. He is a hard worker
and painstaking and is credited
by all. as being strictly honest.
He will easily and without effort
on his own part be his own success
sor, as he should be.-Search-

Who ls III

Any number of persons may play
the game called who is it," One is
selected to stand or sit in front of the
others, who have arranged themselves
in a half circle. The selected sits
with his back to the rest; then one Of
those in the half circle touches the
chosen one On the back, and all to-
gether they ask. who is it?" The one
in the center then turns around and
tells the name Of the one he thinks
touched him. The one named asks,
"Where shall I go? The chosen one
designates q place at ZONE distance, 30
that while the person named IL going
to the place and back the rest will
have a good chance to hide. II the
person named did touch the one in the
center be must 60. but IL he was not
the one then he says to the leader. 'Go
yourself" and he is the one to 60. The
last person caught stands in front as
the chosen one In the next game.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Patchwork Sentences.

For this game have ready before be-
ginning to play some slips of paper
one and a half inches long by five or
six inches wide. The number prepar-
ed must depend. Of course, on the
number Of players.
When all are ready to begin each
one of the company is provided with
a slip of paper. They are then told to
write upon each slip a sentence de-
scribing an action. The sentences.
however. must be without grammati-
cal subjects.
To make this plain l will give you
a few specimen sentences:
- climbed up the side of the house
with a ladder.
- sat down in the middle of the road
- went to bed with shoes and stock
ings on.
= wore a bright red dress and a yellow
hat.
- could not eat because his teeth were
all gone.
When the players have written the
required sentences they are told to
fold each paper carefully so that the
sentence will be on the inside. 1t Is
better to fold it twice.
The slips r then collected in a box.
basket or hat and shaken up thor
oughly.
The receptacle is then passed
around. and each player takes out a
slip. Without unfolding it he writes
on the outside a noun. accompanying
it with "a" 'an'' or "the." as he sees
6t. Proper names may not be used.
After this second writing the slips
are again collected, thoroughly mixed
as before and again passed around.
As each player draws a slip he
looks at the noun that has fallen to
his share. then unfolds the paper and
connects the two parts Of the ser
tence either mentally or by writing
the noun and its article in the proper
place.
When all are ready each player in
his turn reads the completed sentence.
The result Of this patchwork" will
often be exceedingly funny.
