That "push a dollar through a hole
in the card", game is a good one. So
thought a prominent Bloomsburg gen
tUmnn when he had the trick played
on him, so good that he concluded it
would be just the thing to amuse him
self with, at his daughter's expense.
After nrenarinsr a card by cutting a
small round hole about the size of a
dime in the center of it, he went home
chuckling to himself over the prospec
tive fun he was going to have. When
v.- reached him domicile he called his
daughter, and laying a silver dollar on
the table and producing his card he
tu Kr that if she could push that
dollar through the hole in the card he
would give her the dollar. Without
the slightest hesitation the young lady
picked up the card, put her finger
through it, placed her finger on the
dollar on the table, and pushed it.
Then with a sweet smile on ner inno
cent young face she said, "Thanks,
papa, but I've seen that trick before,'
and picking up tne aonar sue uc
posited it in her pocket, and started
out to find her mother to tell her what
a good joke her father had played on
her. ' But the man never smiled. He
sat down bv himself and tried to study

catch on to things so much quicker
nowadays than old folks do.
