Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 254, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 October 1913 — The Jeweler. [ARTICLE]

The Jeweler.

The gentleman wAo acts the' part of Jeweler whispers Into the ear of each player the name of the gem he or she is to be known by. Thus, he whispers to the first, “You must be a Sapphire”; and to the next, "You must be an Emerald”; and to a third, "You must be a Topaz”; and so on until they have all received names, taking oare that several of the company have received the name of one gam—say, the Diamond. He then places a small table before the door. In such a position that only one person can pass through at a time. Then he takes his place near the table, and addressing the company, says: “I am a Jeweler; lam the Court Jeweler, and the Qneen has ordered a parure, to complete which my workmen are now waiting for an Amethyst" The Amethyst Immediately Jumps up and runs Into the hall as quickly as possible. The Jeweler then says, "I most also have a Turquoise,” and the Turquoise responds bjr following the Amethyst All the others should be called before he mentions the Diamond, and when that demand Is made an who have received the name of Diamond rush simultaneously to the door, each thinking all the rest are acting under a mistake. The aperture being Altogether too narrow tor their hurried egress, the contusion causes much merriment If a still wider degree of scrimmage Is desired, it may be brought about by the Jeweler making a rule at the commencement of the gamp that the gems must pass through the door before he can count ten after calling their semes, la this case all the Diamonds must be gentlemen, as that part of the game would be too rough play for ladles to engage in.
