Eleanor and Her Mother Have Trouble
In Putting the Horse to Bed.

In Putting the Horse to Bed.
One of the best known society women of
Philadelphia spends the spring months in
her country place, few miles out of the
city. This lady, who may be called Mrs.
Stellcart, although that is not her name.
went out there with her family. Soon
after opening the country house her hus-
I band arrived from the west, where he had
been on business, bringing with him mag
nificent Kentucky saddle horse, which he
gave to his daughter Eleanor for a birth
day present.
| Not long afterward the gentleman was
again called away from this part of the
country, and that same afternoon his wife
discharged the coachman for being impu-
dent When evening came on Mrs Stell-
cart was in O quandary. She knew that
horses had to be taken care of, and she
didn't know exactly how to do it, SO she
said to her daughter:
Eleanor, we've got to put Toag to bed.
/ recollect hearing your father tell John to
be very careful to bed him down nicely, SO
we must do as well as we can"
They went to the stable, and took from
the carriage house the cushion of wagon
seat and couple of horse blankets Then
they repaired to the stall in which the Ken
lucky saddle horse was rapidly growing
hungry, likewise weary. Mrs. Stellcart
and Eleanor placed the cushion where they
supposed the horse would use it for pill
low and managed to arrange one of the
blankets to serve in lieu of mattress
Then they tried to coax Toag to lie down
in order that they might throw the other
blanket over him and tuck it in nicely
about his heels. But for some unaccount-
able reason Toag wouldn't lie down. They
tried to coax him and to throw him off his
feet but the greatly astonished horse at
last protested so strongly that the ladies
gave up their work
Their house is situated half mile from
any other, and they didn't know wnat to
do. But at last bright idea struck
Eleanor, and she with her mother hurried
to the front gate and stayed there until
two men passed by. These we're Called the
situation was explained to them They
didn't understand it at first, but Mrs
Stellcart finally burst into tears and begged
them to come in and put the horse to bed
The men willingly walked to the stable
and looked at the stall for a moment. Then
they leaned against the wall and laughed
until they were nearly exhausted Toag
went to bed as usual that night, but he

Every day since this occurrence those
two men have made it a point to walk past

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan.
all the con petitOrs risking the loss of their
labor and the sue essful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself TO the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without it. The architect
whose competitive plan for a club house on q
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something of very little use to
him. But the person who patent simple and
useful device in the Press Claims Company s
competition, need not worry If he fail to Sc
cure the prize. He has substantial result TO
show for his work-One tn at will command its
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies il only from the theoretical point of
view Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple TO be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds in combining simplicity and popu-
larity, will get the Press Claims Company 8
twenty-five hundred dollars.

iudped from ne fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading news

A TEMPTING OFFER.

To induce people to keep track of their
bright ideas and sec what there is in them,
the Press Claims Company has resolved TO
offer price.
To the person who submits to it the sim
pliest and most promising invention, from
a commercial point of view, the company will
give twenty-five hundred dollars i'm each, in
addition to refunding the fees for securing
the patent.
1t will also advertise the invention free OF
charge.
This offer is subject to the following con.
dit!Ons:
Every competitor must obtain a patent f u
his invention through the company. He
must first apply for a preliminary search,
the cost of which will be five dollars
Should this search show his invention to be
unpatentable, he can withdraw without fur.
Their expense. otherwise he will be expected
to complete his application and take out a
patent in the regularway. The total expense,
including Government and Bureau fees, will
be seventy dollars. For this, whether he
secures the prize or not, the inventor will
have patent that ought to be a valuable
property TO him. This prize will be awarded
by jury consisting of three reputable patent
attorneys of Washington. Intending COM
petitors should All out the following blank,
and forward it with Their applications:

NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.

A patent strikes most people as an appall
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be natural genius, like Edi-
son or Bel; that he must devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spent fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get new device to
patentable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
TO get into the head of the public clear COM
prehension of the fact that il is not the great,
complex. and expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors, out the lit
tie, simple, and cheap ones-the things that
seem so absurdly trivial that the average citi-
zen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing
them TO the attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous iuven-
tons have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastning a bit of rubber
cord to childs ball, so that il would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made a fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is miracle of ingenuty-thep product OF
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through a
hundred and fifty years, but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device OF
putting the eye of the needle at the point in.

Tho Little Things The Most Valuable.

Comparatively few people regard them
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
with ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of thellitte frictlons OF life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.

thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ideas

for patents, they might find themselves asln-
