in the brush on blackberry street
by Thomas Finnerty. the popular
machinist for the Southern Pacific,
while going home to dinner one
day last week. They are all in
good condition, and the thief know
ing that he could not use them or
sell them without being detected,
judiciously placed them in a brush
near the roadside, where they
could be easily found by some
passer-by and returned to the
owner.

NO BLANKS IN This COMPETITION.

This is a competition of rather an unusua
nature. II is common to offer prizes for tie
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the competitors risking the loss of their
labor and the sue !essful one merely sell ng
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
rewa ,ded for doinr il. 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 ii than the mechanical expert who
studies 1t only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of tn 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-
larUty, will get the Press Claims Company's
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
judged from tue fact that it's stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.

the room, may be draped with gay

has been struck, at one time or another,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of thellittle frictions of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further

PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty five Hum

Would you like to mske twenty-five hun

what follows and you may see a way to do it.
The Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. 1t has handled thous-
ands of applications for inventions, but it
would like to handle a thousand more. There
plenty of inventive talent at large in this
country, needing nothing but encourage nent
to produce practical results. That encourage
ment the Press Claims Company proposes to

NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.

A patent strikes most people as an appal
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be a 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 a 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 a clear COM
prehension of the fact that ii 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 inven-
lions have not been suffi cient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastning q bit of rubber
cord to child's ball, so that it would come
back TO the hand when throw n, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is a miracle of ngenuity-the product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through
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
stead of at the other end
