OUR. AMBITION
To Send Fifty P<opl>
To Buffalo
AT OUR own EXPENSE
Bids Fair To Be Realized
In the Present Contest

1t looks now as though the TELE'
GRAM IS ambition to send so people tC
Buffalo at its own expense would be
realized The list is rapidly growing
as the public is coming to realize
the full meaning Of this remarkable
offer.
1t is probable that all Of our read.
ers have a complete understanding OF
the conditions Of the contest but in
case they have not it may be we'll to
say that there is no long drawn out
set of complicated rules and regula-
tons.
In brief it is as follows: - "For
every subscription Of the TELEGRAM
that is presented at this Office certiti-
Gates will be issued in manner SINH
lar to that which was adopted during
the Quaker Range contest; for every
years subscription will be given a GER
titicate emitting the person whose
name it contains to 800 votes, for
every renewal for one year 200 votes
and .or shorter periods smaller num-
Der of votes 10 proportion according
to the tabulated form below printed.
The person who shall have presented
the largest number of these votes at
this q flee before p. m, Aug. 10th
will be given free trip to Buffalo in
the manner above described, that is
free transportation and five days enter
tainment at the AlraZar Hotel includ =.
ing b Jard and room.
The winner OF this contest shall
have the privilege Of choosing one
other person to accompany him or
her said person. to 60 to Buffalo at
the expense of the TELEGRAM in the
the same way.
But this does not end the affair by
any means. The TELEGRAM proposes
to see that no person who enters the
contest and takes any interest in the
same shall come out loser. We
therefore make a further inducement
most remarkable and attractive.
Every contestant, outside Of the one
who is victorious, who shall by 8
O'Clock p. M, August 3lst, 1901, have
turned in $1,000 votes will also be
given a free trip to Buffalo, including
transportation and board and room at
the Alcazar Hotel for five days during
the Exposition. If there are so who
take advantage OF this extraordinary
offer it will please the management of
the TELEGRAM 80 times more than if
there is but one. 1.-The more the
merrier." D MT say you must stay
at home from the Exposition because
you can't afford to go. That would
be ridiculous when such an offer as
this one is staring you in the face.
During the series Of Quaker Range
contests gwen last winter, the small
est number of votes presented by
winner was 20, 600: the largest was
about 1000. l. this contest you
have to turn in only $4,000 to be
winner, and this means the securing
of the equivalent OF fifty new subscri
berS.
The terms at which the subscrip-
lions to the TELEGRAM may be Sc.
cured and the number OF votes which
each subscription stands for is as fol.

EDUCATING THE MONKEY.
" This Should Be Done, Trouble
Would Surely Result.

A government biologist who is a
learned professor has expressed the
belief that it is entirely practicable
to breed and train the monkey SO as
to make him very useful to man.
(The professor, be it parenthetically
remarked, refers to the denizens of
the tree tops, not to the human spe-
cies.) Among other things, he
would make of the simian newer
Of wood and drawer of water. The
proposal shows how impractical a
learned professor usually is. What
would the various labor unions have
to say to the introduction of cheap
monkey laborP What endless strife
would result if the monkeys, when
trained, organized unions among
themselves
The proposition is, at first blush,
startling, but little reflection will
show that we now manage to get
along very well with large number
of monkeys among us. The thought
occurs that, before publishing his
ideas on the subject, the professor
may have been actively engaged in
the work of training the monkey to
initiate man.
Were that so it would account for
the conduct of many whom we meet
while taking our walks abroad
many whom we have to class as men
while feeling conscious that there is
something strange about them; that
between them and us a great gulf is
fixed. The something strange may
be but case of arrested develop
ment, or the training may not have
been completed. There are many
masquerading as men who might
with advantage be committed to the
professors care to be finished off.
Better results could be expected
than from commencing with the raw
material.
1t is to be fervently hoped that if
the professor does train monkeys,
as he proposes, he will not try to
teach the animals to do all that men
do, or many men might hang their
heads in shame.-Philadelphia Tele-
graph.

Food Value Of Fruits.

Fresh fruits contain 80 to 80 per
cent of water, no proteid or fat, and
when ripe little or no starch. They
owe their nutritive quality to the
sugar they contain-which varies
from 10 to 20 per cent in lemons,
currants, cranberries, bananas and
grapes, from 60 to 70 per cent in
raisins, figs, dates and prunes-and
to their organic salts and mineral
compounds, which are essential to
pure blood and sound tissues.
Fruit only when perfectly sound
and ripe is fit to eat. Unripe fruit
is dangerously indigestible and over
ripe fruit is poisonous from the bac-
terra it contains. AS rule, fruit is
best cooked. Especially is this SO
when it is to be given to children.
All fruit should be eaten in modera-
ton. Do not imagine because it is
watery an unlimited quantity can be
consumed.
Fruit is. most wholesome at the
beginning of a meal or at the end
Of one that has included no dessert.

JUSTICE WAS EXPENSIVE.
And For That Reason the Saddle Thief
Got of Easily.
graph.

A traveller in South America, r.
B. Cunninghame Graham, says that
his partner, at that time in Uru-
quay, left a silver mounted saddle
in the railway station and after
several days absence found that it
had been stolen.
He informed the police, waited a
day, then two days, and found that
nothing had been done. Then he
went down to see the commissary
of police and found him sitting in
his Office training two cocks to fight.
Compliments duly passed, ciga-
rettes were lighted, and, mate circu-
lating, served by negro soldier in
a ragged uniform with iron spurs
upon his naked feet, we plunged into
our talk.
"Ten dollars, comisariol"
mo, senior, $15, and slight graf
ification to the man who brings the
saddle back"
We settled at $13, and then the
commissary called the negro and
said, "Tio Gancho, get at once to
horse, take with you one or two men
and scour the pago till you bring
that saddle back"
The next day the saddle was pro-
duced, but it appeared that one of
the silver stirrups had been lost.
The commissary was much annoyed
and after thinking the case well out
returned me $3.50 out of the $13 l
had agreed to pay.
A new silver stirrup cost $40 at
the least, but as the saddle was well
worth $50 we parted friends-that
is, we should have done so had not
the commissary had another card
to play.
GLOW long do you want the thief
detained ?" he asked.
We wanted to be magnanimous,
so we answered loftily, ga month
will do"
"All right" he replied. "Then
L must trouble you Tor $3O more Tor
the mans maintenance and for the
jailer's fee."
/ said instantly: eve are of
course ignorant of your laws, and
perhaps we have looked at the mans
offense too severely. A week will
do" So, after paying SIS down, we
left, knowing well that the money
would pass into the commissary's
pocket.
Months afterward / learned that
the culprit had worked two days in
cutting down weeds in the public
square. Then he had volunteered
to join the army, was received into
the ranks and in few weeks rose to
be sergeant.-Youth's Companion.

Hints on Keepinq Jam.

People often find their jams do
not keep well. They sometimes fer
ment or turn moldy, and either the
fruit, the place they were stored in
or the sugar is blamed. The fault,
however, lies in themselves. The
secret of success lies in never leaving
the preserving pan for one moment
from the commencement of the pro-
ceedings and not to skim the fruit.
Put, fas rule, one pound Of sugar
to each pound Of fruit, and stir the
whole well from the moment it is
put on the fire. AS the scum rises
and when boiling has begun, stir
more vigorously. After a time the
scum beginsto boil itself clear When
quite clear, the jam thickens. Then
take the pan off the fire and put the
jam into warmed jars. All the
jams made this way are bright and
clear, even if some of the fruit has
been gathered on damp day. Red
currants and raspberry jellies are
managed in the same way and with
the same satisfactory result. Never
skim the jelly, but let it boil itself
clear. Fifty minutes is ample time
for preserving ten pounds of fruit,
allowing 20 minutes for brisk boil
inc

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Little Things That All Housekeepers
Ought to Know.

Save the wire from discarded
brooms until enough is obtained to
make a small hand broom. Cut it
into lengths of six or seven inches,
bind securely and attach handle.
Such broom is admirable in clean
ing ironware or other metal.
Save all paper tablet covers for
we in mounting photographs or
picture cards, etc. Do not detach
the half cover not used, but let it
serve as base, opening it half way,
pyramid fashion, the table or man
tel serving as the base.
If your house is not provided with
shutters to exclude the heat that
penetrates the thiclest of shades
during hot summer weather, take
several thicknesses Of newspaper
and tack or glue to the upper sash;
let them reach at least half way the
length of the window. BY keeping
the blinds closed a GOODNESS will be
obtained that would be otherwise
impossible. A large sheet of paste
board may be substituted for the
paper. Small hoods or coverings
over windows also exclude much
heat.
II a patch is wanted on the sole
or upper part of thin shoe or slip
per, apply thin leather with coat
of mucilage. 1t will remain for
months.
In repairing or altering cotton
clothing it is vexing to find that
the machine stitching has shrunk,
drawing seams, hens, etc, into
Fuckers. This trouble may be
avoided by soaking the spool of
thread overnight in water, after
ward placing it where it will dry. If
colored thread is oiled with machine
oil, it makes it stronger and it works
better on a machine.
A few drops of oil of lavender
scattered through bookcase will
save books from mold. Libraries in
closed rooms are liable to be injured
by dampness. The lavender will
prevent observation-disclosures.
