Evenings work.
Just 3l2 people sent in 10 Hevman &
Co. during the month of April manu-
script copies OF stories they had com
posed, using as the subject the adver-
tisement this firm has extensively used
in the columns of the TTLEGRAMHER-
AID during that time Tins firm prom
lsed q handsome silk push rocker TO
the one that furnlshcu the best COM
posed article. Thursday evening, May
/, was the time set for the selection TO
be made.
Since this very novel scheme was first
sprung upon the public THIS firm has
been troubled much as TO the proper
committee 10 select TO look over the
immense batch of manuscripts. 1t Was
Eugene Roby, head salesman and
manager of advertising for Hey
man & Co., that hit upon the
IDEA OF having as a committee repre-
sentauves OF the leading morning paper,
the TELEGRAM.IlERALD, and the two
afternoon da.ies. the Eagle and Le1do.
Promptly az o'clock the committee
was nshered into the south display win
dow which had been handsomely fur
hished for tho occasion. {. A. Brake
man, Of the Eogle, with his handsome
flowing moustache, headed the process
sion. a. d. Greene, of the Leader who
is reputed for his bright witty articles,
and as an advertising man covers terri
tory that extends even TO Bay City fol-
lowed. The TEIEGRAM-HERAID's re-
preventative meckly and silently filed
after, and Mr. Roby brought up the
rear. The scene presented as the COM
mittee seated themselves around the
handsome oak table must have
been n pleasing one 10 the
immense crowds Of people on
the outside, as they soon showed
that the intelligent committee was OBJ
served by loud applause. Seated IN
comfortable chairs, with the luxUuant
urroundIngs adding much 10 make
verythlug pleasant. and plenty of
fragrant Havanas within reach, the
long tedious task OF looking over the
81 stories was commenced. II was not
long before Grcene's vocal organs be
came bosrsc from reading. The COM
mittec partOOk OF aqua pura." Shortly
afterwards Brakeman's flowing mus
tache dropped and he sighed for re-
freshments. Another adjournment
was made, this time TO the Crescent
dining parloTs. The committee then
settled down 20 work and after nearly
four hours labor i was decided that
the manuscript Of Mrs. Allison d.
Baker. S3 SuCld0n-st contained
the winning story. The stories of CIV.
Geo. Everbart. Of IL Scrbner-st, Mrs.
IT. ". Bsssngwaitc, Crcsceut-ave, and
Mrs. Nclhe Rounds, corner MadisOn-Bv
and Hall-st. are deserving OF special
notice. They were nearly all worthy Of
pra-s ~ and the committee regrets that
they could not make every heart nap
py who took part .n the contest. The
committee was totally iCuOTsnt as 70
tho author of each composition and
each manuscript was handed n the
gentlemen by MT. R0by. After al IA
