Excerpt: ...to America, what shall I do there?" "Admire Astrakhan Apples. I am bound for Boston, what shall I do there?" "Bake beans and brown bread. My journey takes me to Chicago, what shall I do there?" "Catch cold," etc., etc. JACK'S ALIVE. A piece of kindling wood is held in the fire until it is well lighted. It is then passed from one player to the other, each one saying in turn, "Jack's alive." The instant the stick ceases to burn "Jack" is "dead" and the one who is then holding it has to pay a forfeit. It is passed very quickly from one to the other, as each player wishes to get rid of it before the spark goes out. For a forfeit, the man who was holding it will have to undergo the process of having a black mustache made with the charred end of the stick. GOING A-FISHING. Cut a number of small fishes about two inches long out of cardboard. Each fish counts five, but two, which may be a little larger, are numbered ten. A loop is made with thread on the back of each fish. Rods (sticks about a foot long with string, at the end of which is a bent pin, fastened to each) are provided for the players. The fishes are placed on the floor or table and, at the word "ready" from the leader, all the players go a-fishing. Each tries his best to hold his rod steady enough to slip the bent pin through the loop of thread. As soon as a fish is caught all must stop until the signal to begin again is given. Everyone tries to catch the fishes marked ten, but sometimes it is wiser to catch as many ordinary ones as a person can, thus making more points. The player scoring most points is victor. CONSEQUENCES. Provide each player with pencil and paper. The first thing to write on the paper is an adjective which applies to a man. The paper is then folded over and passed to the right. This time each one writes the name of a man (either present or absent), folds the paper so the next one can't see what is written, and passes it on to the right.
