SCHEMES AND SCHEMES.

Your attention is called especially to the
terms of the sixth missing word contest.
Read them carefully. The puzzle in the
Sc 1tence is plainly submitted clearly stat
ed and speaks for itself. 1t is Addressed to
oil persons alike. 1t takes good judgment
to solve IT. and the answer is not suggested
In the advertisement or elsewhere in the
paper. The subject dealt with is that
has been discussed for years; the word that
supplies the blank is one in common use.
and the answer IS true, that IS, the real
meaning of the sentence is not distorted
in order to use an Irrelevant word, and
the idea will be complete and in accord with
common sense when the proper word is
supplied.
Better read all the puzzles all the way
through before you answer any one of
them. When you read ours you will find
that you get The Weekly Constitution one
year for your 81. and you know very well
it is worth the money, besides your chance
at the missing word.

get a. cash prize. You know what money
is worth, and you can spend it to buy
what you like We offer 10 per cent of
the money We receive from subscribers
entering the contest. We make up the
record every day. and we will begin on De
cember LIST to publish from week to week
the exact amount tnot the percentage has
grown and how mucn the aggregate is to
date of the publication.
We pay the prizes by our check on a
solid bank, and We guarantee 1t will be
worth 100 cents on the dollar anywhere our
promptly, often mailing the checks before
the advertisement of the result, 50 that the
first notice the successful contestant has
IS the letter containing his prize. And we
pay them in full. We have already paid out
this year nearly $500 in cash for prizes in
our missing word contests.
In the acknowledgement Of checks receiv-
ed we have, besides the regular receipt,
such expressions as these from the con-
testants:

WORK IN SUNDAY SCHOOL DEPARTMENT.

Nine. President-In presenting this report
regret the meagIeness of facts concerning
the work which have at hand in this inter
esting and all important work. During the
year past have sought by written conimu-
nication and personal effort information
concerning the temperance work done in all
the sunday schools in Portland and vicinity
In nearly every school find that the quar-
terly temperance lessons are used. In the
Congress st. Methodist church, i'll addition
to the quarterly temperance lessons, black
board work has been done and short adj
dresses on temperance given. One entire
day has been given. to the cause during the
year, Ill which short addresses were made
by officers and teachers also statistics
given. TEN perance recitations and read
ings were rendered by several of the schol-
arS.
Special work has been done in the
Second Parish Congregational school, The
pastor has preached temperance sermons,
on which occasions the school of 800 boys
and girls have been cordially invited to at
archipelago cards have been distributed dur
ing the year. Their library contains between
thirty and forty books on temperance. They
hope another year to do better work.
In the Advent church, i'm addition to the
quarterly temperance lessons an evening
was given to the subject under the auspices
of the Christian EndeavOr.
In the Bethel Sunday school, in addition
to the quarterly temperance lessons, the
pastor breaches about as often on The Sub
etc. In the making up of libraries to go
aboard the vessels sailing out of Portland,
temperance literature forms a large proper
| ton. Sunday school contributions defray
the expenses of the library. About $50 books
in all have been sent out.
In the Chestnut st. Methodist Sunday
| school, in addition to the quarterly tenn
perance lessons one Sunday has been given
wholly to temperance exercises consisting
of blackboard drawings showing the evils
of incompetence. Appropriate rectations
and singing were rendered by the school
and an effective address by the Superinten-
