Same of The Bookbinder'
e - = - 2 - - - - s:

"Bookbinder'' is holiday time diver
sion that looks simple and tame, but
can be made highly exciting. Any
number of persons sit in a circle, each
holding book ON the back of his
clinched fists. One who has been cho-
sen bookbinder and stands in the mid
die of the circle goes to any player
and. Selling that players book, at
tempts to rap his knuckles, which the
holder of the book tries to avoid by
pulling back his hands quickly.
If the boOkbinder succeeds In this
the player whose knuckles he raps
changes places with him; otherwise he
replaces the book and tries to do the
same with some one else. The book
binder may pretend to seize book
without actually doing so, and If the
holder pulls away his hands so that the
book fails he must take the leaders
place as if his knuckles had been rap
ped.
The leader can make this game very
exciting if he runs quickly from one
b another. pretending to take up one
book and then seizing another.

some one to think of one of the num-
bers from one to twelve on the dial of
your watch and ask him to add one to
it every time you tap the crystal over
the dial with a pencil (see illustra-
tom until he reaches twenty. and then
to notify you. Tell him that by the
twentieth tap you will have read his
mind so accurately that you will then
strike the number he first thought of
without asking any questions.
The method of doing this trick is
very simple. For the first seven taps

Shorty Hines Indicted

Shorty Hines was indicted by the
Estill Circuit Grand Jury charged with
the murder of George Horn at Irvine
last Saturday night. This was quick
work. Hines is the same man that was
prominent in some OF the notorious
cases that have heen before the Estill
Court for several months. He has a
wife and one child. Before his mar
rage he was indicted for an alleged at
tempt TO criminally assault his wife.

eighth tap strike twelve, at the ninth,
eleven; at the tenth, ten, and so on
around backward until you are noti-
fed by the chooser that he has reach
led twenty in his count.
If the instructions have been prop
erly followed the pencil will then rest
upon the chosen number, because if
twelve-the highest number that can
be taken-is chosen, eight taps will
bring it to twenty, so that your pencil,
according to instructions. will then be
on twelve, and any other number Sc
lected on the dial will be less than
twelve by just the amount that will
cause the pencil taps to shift back
ward from twelve to the thought of
number when the count of twenty has
been reached by the chooser.

they are being shaped wooden tooth
picks. leaving the sharp ends exposed

knitted dolls. To buy them would be
much easier. Stick the sharp ends OF
the toothpicks which have been en-
bedded in the popcorn balls into the

toy for the kiddies which will last long
after the popcorn balls have gone the
way of all popcorn.
