The Game of Noted Men.

The game of noted men is played as follows: Some one begins the play by saying: “I know a celebrated poet. The first part of his name is very black, and the last is an elevation.” Whoever gives the right name, which la Coleridge (coal, ridge), describes the name of some noted person. He may choose Shakespeare and say the first part of the poet’s name is something people are apt to do when they are cold, and the last Is a weapon of warfare. There are quite a number of names which will do nicely for thi*v--’ game. Here are a few of them: Wordsworth (words, worth), Cornwall (com, wall), Shelley (shell, lea), Washington (washing, ton), Longfellow (long, fellow), Bernhardt (bum, hard), eta When giving the name to be guessed the profession and sex of the celebrity must be given.
