Hattie Heath-No, you did not send an
answer to Roses diamond. 1t is, however,
received now. If "Crowquille accepted

the matter all the worse

Hattie Heath thus writes concerning the
clock problem 81 never attempt to work
out problems, as the bump of number seems
to have been left out when my head was
formed, but by turning the hands of
clock l find the two positions to be IL
minutes to 9 and Is to TO- A friend who
has computed it by algebra says the last
position is 10 minutes 50 seconds to 10, and
| presume he must be correct, as figures
never lie. If Moses is going to lead US into
such a tangled wilderness as this, | shall
wish he had not dropped his domestic in

l sounded SO cosy and homelike, too. l
think Utah's puzzles are like the Mormon
problem-hard to solve. You can take

good enough"

Amethyst-Permit the Quiet Hour to

ciseness and excellence OF your charades
just sent in. Give the "Tanglers more
of the same kind. They have not been
surpassed for concise excellence

We present this week all the metrical
charades sent in by ladies in competition
for the prize offered. Several of the ladies
sent in a number-one as many as eight
of charades, leaving it to US to select
one to enter in the lists. We have select
ed, but have "queerish" feeling about
it being exactly fair, as the authors ought
to select from their own MS. the one they
think best. 1t is as much matter of
judgment as of wit and composition. But,
assuming that all the contributors have
exercised such judgment, and those who
any of the lot equally good, and that there

we've concluded for " this once to waive
objections. The following are the prize
charades, and we are exceedingly proud of

lister:
l charm the heart that is dropping in sorrow:
/ raise IL at once into pure ccstacy;
| make the fierce lunatic, bound in his prison,
| Join in the mgst harmless innocent glee.
The fair and the gay can sink into sadness;
The lightest of hearts | with sorrow can load
The grave and the brave can drive unto madness ;
The dull a d the weary regard not the road.
/ am frequently used by the saint and the sinner
| / am joined IN devotion as well in crime;
| am loved by the ladies who think, after dinner,
am really amusing in passing the time.

| will also remain until the last day of doom.
You will find there is no tribe, creed or country
without me-
| often make Joy out of sorrow and gloom
The Scriptures will tell you that l was in heaven,
And history relates you that was in hell
But tell you Tanglers, if you only believe me.

In the mansion, the cottage, the cabin and hall ;
On the lake. in the brake, on the moor, in the
fountain.
/ am studied by some, and respected by others;

SIG. (No. p By Polly, Sacramento
Comes my first from lips that are firmest,
Comes, alas in despair from the mother,
Oft in jest and often in earnest.
But terror it brings to the lover,
II Ger lips of his sweetheart it hover.
Bursts my second at fine display,
Uttered when ky-rocket looms on high;
Bursts when enthusiasm brooks no delay,
Comes it also with tear and sigh,
Piteous to hear-we all know why.
My third is delicate thing of beauty
And formed by tiny insect much abused
1t oft for prison SO bleak does duty,
And clutches many a victim unaccused-
Here glories, stern, their jailer much amused
The cook my fourth does oft demonstrate,
When all her kitchen duties she's about:
From cooking to scrubbng, all done frst-rate,
Very few there are. no doubt,
Who know the Kitchens '' ms" and outs"
What better would YOU ask
Than one great man my whole to be?
BY him compiled mighty task,
That's been world to you and me,
And to many puzzles been the key.
SIT. (No. 81 By Rose, San Quentin:
Ny first three letters stand
For men OF wariike fame,
Widows thropg all the land
With orphans bless this name.

Devotion to that cause

Our country and her laws
With poverty and need,
Whole. bravely fought in youth.
Is known for valiant deeds
Done in the cause of Truth.
SIS. NO. A. By T.. G. D., Placerville !:
Ny first in mythology prominent stands,
Accompanied always, like typical Pat.
It's net desirable feature in lands,
But quite indispensable under your hat
