Before the guests arrive, paper bags containing various numbers of
peanuts are strung across the end of the room, about eight feet from
the floor. Give each player three peanuts and line them all up about
twenty or twenty-five feet from the bags. At a given signal the entire
line tries to hit a bag. Each person has three throws. He may have the
contents of each bag he hits.
_Note_: It is usually necessary to leave someone near the line to cut
down the bags the moment they are won, otherwise there will be much
confusion.
