No BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is competition of rather an unusua
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
ali the con petitors risking the loss of their
labor and the successful 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
reWa rded for doin it. The prize is only
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without it. The architect
whose competitive plan for club house on
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 d vice in the Press Claims Company
competition, need not worry II he fail to Sc
cure the prize. He has a substantial result TO
show for his work-One that Will command It's
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any artlcle IN MS
daily work ought to know better how 10 I'M
prove it than the mechanical expert VINO
studies it only from the theoretical point OF
view Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth patentlng.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds I'm combining simplicity and popu-
Iarity. will get the Press Claims Company 8
TWENTY-FIVE hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
dyed from the fact that its stock is held by
bOut three hundred of the leading news
spers of the United States.

NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.

patent strikes most people as an appall
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 new device to
a 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 it is not the great,
complex, andeXpeusive 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-
tons have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastning bit of rubber
cord to a childs ball, go that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is miracle of ngenuity-the product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through a
hundred and tiftyryears, 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.

A house was built by Socrates
that failed the public taste to
please. Some blamed the inside,
some the out and all agreed that
the apartments were too small.
"Such rooms for him the greatest
sage of Greece ~ ask" said he,
"no greater bliss than real friends
to fill cen this."-La FOntaine.
The point most liable to objec-
ton in the jury system is the
power which any one or more of the
twelve have to starve the. rest into
compliance with their opinion; so
that the verdict may possibly be
given by strength of constitution,
not by conviction of conscience;
and "wretches hang that jurymen
may dine."- Lord Orrery.

siOnal battle. His splendid pres
ence, his eloquence and the con-
vincing logic of his arguments
made him the leader in the great
silver debates of the last congress.
Bourke Cochran was born in Ire
land SO years ago. 1t is said that
he was intended for the priesthood,
but when II years old he decided
that he was better fitted for some
other vocation. He came to this
country and became a teacher in a
private school, where he was so
successful that he became princi-
pal of the Mt. Vernon public school.
In 1876 he was admitted to the
bar and within 10 years he built
up practice of 100000 a year.

lots of money and six wives. The
wife of his choice for the American
tour is beautiful Spanish looking
woman. Rajai Rajagan means
"Rajah Of Rajahs," or "king of
kings" a modest title which its
owner shares only with the Shah
of Persia. The "king of kings"
cannot be called handsome. He is
a little over medium height, his
black beard is crisp and curling,
his face is plump and broad, his
nose short and distinctly tip-tilted,
He looks a good deal better in his
robes of state than in American
clothes.

The Little Things The Most Valuable.

Comparatively few people regard them.
sci YES as inventors, but! almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of the0little frictiOns of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
why don't the railroad company make it's
car windows so that they.csn be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers
backs?" exclaims the traveller. "If 1 were
running the road would make them in such
way"
"What was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking of?' grumbles the cook. "Ee
never had TO work over stove or he would
have known how it ought to have been fixed"
Hang such a collar button!' growIs the
man who is late for breakfast. eff l were in
the business I'd make buttons that would Mt
slip out, or break off, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forgot about
their grievar es and begin to think of some
thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves as In
dependeutly wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the one who

SANCTUM SCISSoRINGS.

Houston Herald: "Texas has
about nine congressman who were
pulled before they were ripe. She
also has Coke but he don't count
as he was pulled forty years ago
and has long been in a decayed
condition."
Denison Herald: "The free coin
age people are tearing their hair
too hard. Neither mOno-metalism
or free coinage are liable to come
very soon. A compromise of some
kind will be the result"
Dallas Star: Senator Vest, in a
letter to a personal friend in New
York, says the majority against
unconditional repeal of the Sher-
man act will be at least eight. But
the question is on what ratio will
these eight be willing to compro-
mise?"
GlObe-Democrat: "The Republic
cans are asked to support Popu-
list candidate for governor of Nir-
ginia, as they can't elect one Of
their own, but they should do no
such thing. When the choice is
between Democrat and Popu-
list the Republicans should accept
the Democrat every time"
Houston Post: "The teachers
who have attended the normal
schools are all going home again to
spend their brief holiday. The
conscientious teacher who teaches
nine months of the year and spends
his vacation attending normals
can not be said to be enjoy ing a
picnic"
Waco News: "The Houston gold
bugs seem to be trying to intimi-
date Hutchinson and bulldoze him
into voting for the unconditional
repeal of the Sherman law. They
will hardly succeed. "Hutch"
knows while Houston is in his dis
trict it is not by a long jump all of
it."
Fort Worth Gazette: "MOney in
the bottom of a mans pocket with
rock on top of it, for the time it
remains there, is so much money
subtracted from the circulating
medium of the country. If you
have money you don't need, either
burn it, and give the country an
excuse to issue more, or put it to
work"
Atlanta Constitution "The
democratic party in the South
must be held together. There is
but one way to do this. Democrat
ic congressman must insist on the
redemption Of the pledges of the
platform and place responsibility
of a failure where it belongs"
Galveston News: "The people
of Texas have wen golden opinions
from the rest Of the country by the
conservatism shown during the
recent panic. In this great state
/ there were only three or four To-
calities where the people showed
any want of confidence in eaci
other or their banks, and in two
DAYS afterward they We're ashamed

people Of Texas showed the same
sense and hardly realized Their
was a panic. The sale of the cot
