Luck In Guessing.

A few years ago a certain progressive

cured very large squash-so large in
deed as to attract much attention. This
they placed uncut in a window Of their
place of business and advertised that
they would give 500 in geld TO the one
guessing the number Of seeds it con-
tanned. In case two or more persons
guessed the correct number. the money
was to be divided equally amcng them.
The only prerequisite for an oppcrtuni-
ty to guess was that the one wishing to
guess should walk inside and register
his name, address and his guess in the
notebook kept for that purpose.
The result of this offer was that z. 700
people registered gnesses and but three
of these guessed Sf1, the number of
seeds which the squash contained. -
