THE PRIZE WINNERS.
Much Interest Manifested ia ths Craw

Much Interest Manifested 10 ths Draw
ing.
The prizes are gone. They are now
the personal property OF those who wear
the titles OF "the lucky ones" The
principal topic in the stores during trad
ing hours, for the past two weeks, was
about prizes and guesses.
THE NEW STORE
put up as prize, a beautiful sewing
machine. With every dollars worth Of
goods purchased, the purchaser was
given ticket, emitting him or her, as
the case might be, chance on the
machine. Ticket No 1925 drew the
the machine, aud Henry Barrett was
lucky holder.
AT MAX LEwIN's
the central feature Of interest for the
past six weeks, has been a glass jar
containing common white beans-some-
times called winter strawberries, and
! aleo known by other MAJ es, more or
less familiar. Two prizes were offered
by Mr.. levin. to his customers; ladies'
gold watch and gentleman's gold
watch. The guesses, OF couree varied,
some running away into the thousands.
The jar contained exactly 2947 beans
and Mr.. George Foster made precisely
that guess, no more nor less, and was
promptly awarded the gen:leman's fine
gold watch. Sam Purdy was next
the closest guesser, with 2945, and was
the lucky person on whom the ladies'
gold watch was bestowed.
THE JELLY GLASS
at Hollis, would have laughed many
time had it been capable OF doing 30, at
some of the extlavagant guesees that
were promiscuously hurled at the number
of pins which were sealed up within it.
One gay fellow-and somewhat Of a
mathematician, too-after carefully CAL
culating and meditating, estimated
only 1900 pins in the jar
but there wasn't. There were 1928 pins
in the little glass, and T. J. Kirk aud
4. 0. Hawks tied for the $50 "pin
money" that went with the pins. Mr.
Kirk guessed 1926 and Mr. Hawke
16S1-each Of them three within the
actual number. The money was divided
equally between them, and IL is pre-
sumed they gave the money to their
wives. If they haven't, they should

o.. Anord to INV. a Cow.

Just after President McKinley's in
auguration he had his relatives who
were in the city at q family dinner at
the white house, says the Ladies' Home
Journal in an illustrated anecdotal
biography of the president. 1t was a
large company, and very good din
ner. Dear old Mother Mckinley was
there, but she was not very talkative.
She was too happy for words. But she
kept sharp eye on the dinner, and no
detail of it escaped her. She was i'm
pressed by the quantity of cream
served with the fruit and coffee, for
she looked up at her son in her sweet
way and said: "William, you must
keep cow now" Some of the young
er members of the family party found
it difficult to suppress smile, but the
president, with his usual tact and
graciousness, replied: Eyes, mother,
we can afford to have a COW now, and
have all the cream we can possibly
