No Blanks in this Competition.

This is competition Of rather an unusual
nature. 1t 10 common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan.
all the competitors 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 tie
rewarded for doing 1t. The prize is only
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth dong it. The architect whose COM
pet,tiye plan for club house on certain
corner is not accepted has spent his labor on
something Of very little use to him. But the
person who patents a simple and useful de-
vice in the Press Claims CoDpanys C"mpe'
tition, need not worry if he fail to secure the
prlze, He has substantial result to show
for his work-one that will command it's val
ne 10 the market ct any time.
The pla,n man who uses any Article in his
daily work ought to know better how 10 I'M
prove 1t than the mechanical expert who
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 patent
ing. The SIMPLER the better. The person
who best succeeds in combining simplicity
aud popularity, will get the Press Claims
Company's twenty five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may he
indget from the fact that it, stock is held ny

You may doubt my statement,

awful calamity, and yet Providence

The First Act Of u Tragedy.

You are sitting alone. Suddenly
you instinctively feel o sensation Of
honor Of some evil influence that is
present, but as yet unseen. You lift
your eyes. You behold, gliding over
the carpet toward you, without noise,
apparently without the trouble of
walking, a mouse. 1t stops. 1t fas-
cllates you. You feel your blood
freeze and your limbs slowly par
alyze. Your heart stops beating.
Your breath ceases. A cold chill

A Fattening Process.

Are YOU painfully thin? Do you ever
stand before Tour mirror and heave a
sigh of regret at your lack of roundness
of face and form which is so apparent
If you do so you may find consolation at
hearing of a system Of putting on
flesh" as employed with satisfactory re-
suits by number Of people. Briefly,
YOU go to bed and allow yourself to be
fed up. In twenty-four hours you have
eight glasses Of milk with cream and
three huge meals.
That the fattening effect Of this food
may not be allowed TO be worked of
you are allowed to make no exertion.
Everything short of the process Of mas
tication is done for you. You don't even
wash yourself. Besides being washed
YOU are massaged and rubbed with oil.
The last operation is an ineligible part
Of the process Of putting on fat, but not
quite so clear as the electricity.

Il fear we will never get down town at
this slow gait" said a restless, pale
faced woman as she handed her fare to
"a Third avenue surface conductor the
other night.
For time the conductor was silent.
Then, turning, he whispered:
do you see the glitter in her eyesy"
"Yes, very plainly"
I'm another hoIr she will be
crazy"
AS the car rolled down the Bowery
the woman looked through the window,
and the light fell full in her face. Her
eyes cleaned red and bright. Then the
conductor leaned in at the door and
said:
1T isn't far now-only few blocks
more"
You fool she replied, chow dare
YOU drive so slowly. Had known this
1 should have come another way" and
half rising from her seat she glared
through the door.
The conductor smiled sadly. If ever
there was hopeless case, he muttered.
"hers is one"
Have you known her long, was
asked.
Yes, a year or more. She often comes
down on my late run. At first she was
quiet enough. but now she grows worse
and worse"
"What crused her insanity."
Insanity and he turned as though
