Hie boy or girl will know the first letter of the last nante Of the one they are going to marry. ,i Witches vs Goblins Many contests between two sides may be held in which one side consists of witches and the other of froblins. One stunt is to have seven little candles on a board and at an iqual distance on each side of the candles, the witches and goblins take turns one after the other and one at a time to see how many candles that they can blow out in 30 seconds of blowing. Count the score by the number blown out by each side. A variation of this is to light them all again and give each side 30 seconds with all the goblins blowing at the same time to see how many lights may be extinguished. Then the witches have an equal turn at it. Which side blows .out the most candles in the given lime of course wins. Silhouettes One little stunt which interests all jruests at a Hallowe'en party or any is then traced with a black pencil or each one. as they come in, they are taken to individual rooms where one of the hosts or hostesses seats them between a strong light and a sheet of paper on the wall. Their shadow is then traced with a balck pencil or crayon on the paper. The guest then asked to fill out the picture in black or preferably to cut out the silhouettes carefully with some scissors. This silhouette is then hung on the wall with the others and numbered. The game is to see which person can guess the names for the largest number of silhouettes. Sleepy Hollow A very pretty Hallowe'en party can be built around the theme of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Wash ington Irving. Costumes made after the plan of these early Dutch Americans, persons to represent Ichabo.i Crane, Brom Bones, Katrina Van Tassell, The Headless Horseman, and other ghosts and appartions, can be among the hosts and hostesses. You can read the story as written by Washington Irving and have some cutouts if desired and then have a homemade moving picture of the fevent if you wish. This can be done by cutting out on a long strip of paper silhouette of each of the characters represented. Then turn out the lights, put up a sheet across the room, and put a strong light back of the sheet. Then two persons can unroll this paper between the light and the sheet and it will make a strong and larger silhouette on the sheet. Part of the strip of paper will indicate the strip of road over which Ichabod Crane rode followed by the headless horseman. It is possible also to have persons come in between the light and the screen to represent with their silhouettes the various characters of the story, to serve as illustrations of each person and .incident mentioned in the reading, as some good reader gives the story. Doughnut Race A pleasanter stunt for Hallowe'en is a doughnut race in which a number of doughnuts are suspended from the ceiling and the contestants are blindfolded and hands tied behind them. They are all started at some time toward the doughnuts and the test is to see which can find his doughnut and sat it first, under those handicaps. x Fortune Telling Every one wants to get their fortune told and the leader may offer to tell a person's fortune by their handkerchiefs. The one in the group wishing to hear his fortune gives his handkerchief to the leader. The leader asks the other to crumple np the handkerchief iif his hand and give it to him The leader opens up the handkerchief carefully and studies the peases made in the handkerchief made by the hand of the other. The leader can call attention to the different creases and interpret them in any way that he likes. For instance, he can call one crease in the handkerchief the lifeline and say that it is very short or very Ion, as the case may be. Another line may indicate the love line, which is'especially strong or weak, as the leader my interpret it. Then the leader can be puzzled as to where the love line leads and state that he can't see the future clearly and that he will ask the other to do one more thing in order that he may tell his fortune. The leader then folds his handkerchief up into a small chunk and asks the other to bite hard into the handkerchief with his front teeth. The leader then looks carefully at the mark of the teeth in the handkerchief and says slowly, "Yes, I can see now clearly. This is' where you bit." Palm Reading Fortunes can also be told by palm reading. The players go one at a. time to see the fortune teller. The fortune teller points at one line in the palm and says, "do you see this line?" The player answers, "Y^s." "Do you see that other line?" is asked. After answering in the affirmative, the fortune teller says, "do you know what that means? It means that you are not blind." Palm Red Players go into a dark booth. The fortune teller asks, "Do you * want your palm red?" the answer being "Yes," the fortune teller proceeds to paint the palm of the player with rrd pamt or crayon. T Ghost Stories Of course no Hallowe'en is complete without one or more ghost stories. These should be carefully prepared beforehand so as to make them effective. An added thrill is given if it can be arranged with confederates to j make occasional wierd sounds in the i semi-darkness to illustrate the story, ending usually wfth ft great BANG at the conclusion of the story. Scrambled Letters A lot of letters of the alphabet are mixed up together in a dish. You can cut the letters out of a magazine, or from cardboard signs, at least from * ' • * : the headlines, or^u luy alphabets at some of the storev^nd you may be able to use the letters that our mothers put into soups. Each person is blindfolded and then" allowed to pick out the number of letters corresponding with the number in their first name. Then the blindfold is removed and he is allowed to try and fashion a name which will be the name of his or her fate. The guests at a Hallowe'en party should of course be received by a ghost, in a dimly lit hall. He can be greeted wtih a clammy hand, consisting of a rubber glove filled with ice. The guest can then be directed to hang up his wraps on a peg on the wall which turns out to be rubber which crumples up at once and lets the wraps fall to the floor. After putting away one's wraps, the guest is directed to follow a Slippery cord, which leads the guest through several dark rooms. As he moves .along through the TUNNEL OF HORRORS his face bumps into cold oysters which hang down on strings from above. Other obstacle^ may impede the path of the pilgrim. Ghost Chamber Finally the traveler arrives at the ghost chamber where all of the guests assemble in the dark at first. There should be various wierd noises, while the guests are warned to maintain absolute siience. There can be occassional moans and groans, the clanking of a chain on th#'floor, dripping water, etc. Fake Operation A fake operation is effectiv®. ,The patient can be laid on a bench behind a white sheet and a strong light shines back of the patient. Everything is then shown up in silhouette on the screen. The surgeons can operate and take varoius things from beside him which appear to be coming out of the interior as one sees the shadow on the screen. As the various parts of the patient are dissected, they may be passed around among those present, a skull, a glove filled with sand for his hand, a dried apricot for an ear, a hot potato with toothpicks in for a gizzard, and other things that your own ingenuity may suggest.

Ford received a fine $260 Estey organ last week, as a present from her parents, who reside at Streator, 111. Lost, a Paisly shawl, about one yard square, op the steps of Mrs. Searles millinery store. The finder will confer a favor by leaving it at Plaindealer office. C. H. Morey has been appointed deputy by Postmaster Smith, and has been sworn in and can now be found at Uncle Sam's headquarters in this village. Charley will be accommodating assistant, and if at any time you fail to get a letter expected, he will write you one and "no questions asked." J. R. Sayler, who lives near this village, was severely bitten by a hog one day last week. The wound was dressed by Dr. Morrison, and is now getting along nicely. : ^ ' When the angry passion gathering in my mother's face I see, And she leads me to the bed-room, gently lays me on her knee, then I know that I will catch it, and my flesh, in fancy, itches, as I listen for the patter of the shingle on my breeches. Every tinkle of the shingle has an echo and a sting, and a thousand burning fancies into active being Bpring; and ft thousand bees and hornets 'neath my coat tail seem to swarm, as I listen to the patter of the shingle, oh, so warm. In a sudden intermission, which appears my only chance, I say: "Strike gently, mother, or you'll split my Sunday pants"; she stops a moment, draws her breath, the shingle holds aloft, and says: "I had not thought of that, my son, jast take them off." Holy Moses and the angels, cast thy pitying glances down, and thou, O family doctor, put a good soft poultice on; and may I with fools and dunces everlastingly mingle, if I ever say a word, when my mother wields the shingle. It costs this country a couple of billion dollars a year just because buildings go put of style so fast. Giving Him the Odk "Sistah Jones, I'se takfn' up a collection fo' <Je benefit of our worthy past^h,? exclaimed one of the brethren. "You know, he's leavin' us fo* to take a church down in Mobile, an' we thought we'd get together and give him a little momentum."--The Churchman. IGNORING THE BRIDE: The groom was faultlessly apparelled in a blue serge suit with trousers and vest to match, a starched shirt with pleated bosom and a striped red and blue tie, while his only ornaments were plain gold cuff-buttons and a gold watch chain with a charm. Under his right arm he carried a natty straw hat of the latest style and weave with a marine blue hat band. He was clean shaven and recently trimmed, while his features reflected deep thought. His feet were clad in well-polished whole peninsula for $5,000,000 there's black silk Holesproofs. A solitary carnation with fern spray1 background lent the finishing touch to the correctness of the groom's ensemble. Florida land is now selling for $20,- 000 a front foot; and if anybody ever reminds Spain that she sold us the whole peninsult for $5,000,000 there's likely to be another Spanish-American war.

At last Mrs. Newlywfed rOse to her feet at the annual business meeting of the Very-best-society club. "Nominations for the presidency being in order," she said, "I propose the name of Mrs. Tender-feelings. It is the opinion of a majority of us here that she is the only member capable of filling our retiring president's shoes." _ Mrs. Tenderfeelings sprang up hastily, her eyes ablaze. "You horrid, hateful thing!w she exclaimed, "when you know as well as I do, and always have, that she wears three sizes larger than I do! I wont have your old nomination--so the: now!" .
