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 risklng 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 doin ii. The prize is only q
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without it. The architect
whose competitive plan for 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 de vice in the Press Claims Compauy's
competition, need not worry If he fail to Sc
cure the prize. He has substantial result to
show for his work-One that 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 II only from the theoretical point OF
view. Get rid of tho 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 CompanyS
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
Judged from tue fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.

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,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of the1little frictions OF life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
why don't the railroad company make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers
backs?" eXclsms the traveller. IF l were
running the road ] would make them in such
a way"
What was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking Off" grumbles the cook "He
never had 80 work over stove or he would
nave known how it ought to have been fixed"
Hang such a collar button!" growls the
man who is late for breakfast. 1T wee in
the business Id make buttons that wouldn't
slip out or break off, or gouge out the back
OF my neck"
And then tue various suffere g forgot about
their grevar c es and begin to think of some
thing eis'. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, putt their ideas
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves as IN
dependently wealthy as the man who invent

daughters, sweet SARA BRUCE. was laid
to rest In Hollywood. To those who
loved her so dsvotedly II seems that she
Ia "doubly dead. in that she died so

"Yet not unmeet II was that one
Like that young friend OF ours.
SO gentle and 50 beautiful,
Should perish with the flowers"
How exquisitely does Mrs. Browning de-
scribe her in poem called "A Portra"":
"And her face is lily-clear-
Lily-shaped and dropped In duty
To the law Of It's own beauty.
Oval cheeks enclosed family.
Which a trail Of golden hair
Keeps from falling off TO air.
And a forehead fair and sanity,
Which two blue eyes undershine.
Like meek prayers before shrh
And IL a painter drew her.
He would paint her unaware,
with halo round her hair.
And all hearts do pray. God love herr
Az and always, In good sooth,
We may all be surs HE doeth!'
blessed are the pure la heart. for they
shall see God"
