 After the guests are seated at
 table, tell them they are to pass what
 ever is passed to them without look
 ing at the things and without drop
 ping them.
 Then pass any of the following: A
 potato stuck full of toothpicks; then
 mechanical toy, such as a beetle, or |big fly, that will keep in motion for several minutes. A piece of fur a Japanese snake, and bit of ice will call forth shrieks. yard of two of sausage casing blown up and a glove filled with sand and wet will fill the hearts with terror. All these articles
 have been in the ice chest for about twelve hours so as to be thoroughly cold
 The articles should be returned to the hostess, who drops them into basket at her feet. Then a part of the fur is to hear the guests tell what was passed to them. Call for the comments and the fun waxes stronger.
 A regular Halloween supper menu | or feast might follow these stunts. A decorated table will add to the gen. eral scheme. Many of the leading
 magazines give pictures and descrip- | tions of decorated tables showing pumpkins from which favors are drawn when passed to guests, can dies, black cats, witches with broom. sticks, goblins. etc. Some of these
 may be made of colored cardboard or purchased from stores dealing in

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Renewed assaults of the Ger
mans, which have Led in the last
few days to the most violent fight
ing of the war, are sill progress
ing with fury almost unparalleled,
but there have been no changes
of importance at any point along
the three-hundred-nlile line of
battle. Official reports from Ber-
lin and Paris agree that the dead
lock still prevailed.
The confidence of Germany as
to the ultimate result is reflected
in the words of Emperor William.
Under all circumstances the
enemy will be beaten he said in
addressing one of his regiments.
Berlin states officially that the
situation is rearded as the most
favorable of some time. The
French statement is equally hope
full in tone. The allies are said to
have made slight progress at va
rious points, including the blood
soaked f-lds of Flanders, in the
vicinity of Dixrnude On the CEN
ter and right of the allied lines
assaults Of the Germans are said
to have been repulsed.
The German and Austrian forces
in the east, compelled to retire
before the Russian advance, have
taken up new positions. Austrian
successes on the Russian left
flank are claimed in Berlin.
Apparently Turkey is now def
nitely involved in the general war.

cepted, and the British govern

lowing similar action by Russia.
Meanwhile the Turkish fleet con-
tinues its acts of aggression.
Bulgaria, faced with the bitter
alternative of opposing her for

with her enemies, Greece and
Servia, if she joins in the war,
has decided, according to a mes
sage from Sofia, to remain neu-
trail. No word has been received
regarding the decision of Greece
and Roumania.
Heavy fighting has been re-
surned along the Austro-Servian
border. Austrians crossed the
Save and Drina rivers, drove back
the enemy and occupied several
towns.
The long dispute over the in
demnity which the city of Brus-
sells is to pay the Germans has
been settled, Berlin reports. The
amount is said to have been fixed
at $4,000, 900.

Purpose of the Act.

The manifest purpose of the act, says
the Chief Justice, was to prohibit the
lending of money upon any unIaw-
full forms of Indebtedness or security.
The terms of the law are broad enough
to punish all lending of money of the
kind described without regard to the
particular form which the debt may be
made to assume. 1t Is apparent that
the borrowers understood these re-
ceipts as notes delivered to the lender
for the purpose of securing the debt
They were executed by the parties and
delivered for the purpose of preserving
evidence of the loan. although in the
form of a receipt. The scheme was in
tended for the purpose of evading the
law and cannot be permitted to have
that effect"

The statement issued by the British
embassy follows:
AT the beginning of the war the
British government gave definite as
surances that if Turkey remained neu-
trail her independence and integrity
would be respected during the war and
in terms of peace. In this France and
Russia concurred. The British gov

with greatest patience and forbearance
to preserve friendly relations in spite
of increasing breaches of neutrality on
the part of the Turkish government at
Constantinople. in the case of German
vessels in the straits.
ION the 10th of October the British
government learned with utmost regret
that Turkish ships of war had. with
out any declaration of war, without
warning and without provocation of
any sort, made wanton attacks upon
open undefended towns in the Black
sea of friendly country, thus COM
