ST. MINUTE HALLOWEEN
4 STUNTS FOR YOUR PARTY


HERE is a stunt that nxes up one
i i corner Of the room beautifully and
provides a lot of fun as well. II is
called the witch's Cave
To make IL cover a table with q
cloth reaching down to the floor.
Rope Off the table to make the place
look mysterious. On the table is plac-
ed a grocer's box that has had the bot.
tom knocked out Of II to make the box
look like little cave. Cover the box
with black or gray crepe paper TO
make it look like a little cave. The
back OF the cave is left open and a
person kneele behind the table and
operates a little figure which is moth
ing more nor less than his own hand
dressed up. Eyes, nose and mouth are
painted on the back of the hand to
make a face for n witch. A little hat
is put on the closed fist and Is made
from cardboard and crepe paper in
peaked shape. From the wrist to the
elbow a crepe paper skirt is draped to
form a little dress for the witch.
Turn all the lights out, except dim
one. One by one the fortune seekers
go into the dark room to have their
fortunes told. As soon as a fortune
seeker appears the little witch pops
out. does wild dance, and throws a
fortune at The fortune seeker.
n LII the old-fashioned games played
with nutshells and candle ends are
lots of fun. and make good inbetween
stunts. Mount candle ends on old
corks and let them sail about in tub
OF water. Fortunes depend on how
long the candles burn and Just how
often the little boats bump into each
other Sail nut shells in similar
fashion.
FIJI a box with sand and in this bury
large cardboard letters. Let each
couple equipped with little spades dig
for letters. The first ones turned up
reveal the initials of the mate of the
one who digs.

Tempting Fruit for Flu"
Convalescents

TT is said by those who have been
victims of this most dreadful cpl
demic that II leaves them with no ap-
petites: that they just plain don't want
10 eat. And SO we want to tempt them
with all sorts Of dainty things which
might arouse "a wee bit Of interest In
food For most certainly nourishing

that one way to tempt that sleepy ap.
petite ia by the gift of a basket OF
fruit One Of the shops Is making
speciality OF these baskets Of fruit for
the convalescent, pricing them at $S.

tractive, and would make nice addition

HIS LAST SLEEP
Killed While Laying on the Street
Railway Track, Wednesday
Evening

VIM. Zahn, a motorman, who was
making the run to Rothschild at 1G: 80
o'clock, Wednesday night, and was
near the Wausau Country Clubs
grounds, in the town of Weston, saw
man apparently asleep on the track
a short distance ahead. Mr.. Zahn
applied the brakes, but was unable to
stop the car, before hitting the man.
The fender pushed him ahead of the
moving car for fifteen or twenty feet
or more, and then the first wheels
passed over his body, ending his life
instantly. His neck was broken, also
both legs and was badly injured other
wise.
The Coroner, Sheriff Goerling and
c. T. Edgar, district attorney, were
called and Coroner Meilahn empan-
elled a jury to hold an inquest The
jury was composed of Ernest Dohloff,
r. II. Kelly and Ray Best of Roths-
child, Rodney Mcdonald and d. Sell
lers of Wausau, and Wm Neupert of
SchOfield. The body was viewed, after
which an adjournment was taken un-
til Saturday morning. The hearing
resulted in the jury finding a verdict
of accidental death.
1t was ascertained that the mans
name was Patrick McKegney of Ne
ceGah, he was 2S years old and was
an employer of the Marathon Paper
Mills Co., and had been at work for
the company for the past three weeks.
After stopping work Wednesday night,
he went to a saloon and took several
drinks and then started for his
lodging place, this was the last seen
of him alive.
His brother, John, came to the city
on Friday to take charge of the re-
mains.
