I'd word ANNA "A girls name.
Sd word DEED-a paper written
with Ink.

Now for your 9Th word. take the
Initials of the above words and place

which will spell MADAM" whether
you spell backward or forwrad--this
is the word applied to Dame.
received many answers to this
puzzle, and several had all the
words correct, but all failed to define
them and place them in a readable
form, something like the above, and
as Mrs. Hanesworth has it.

Lancaster, o.. gets the prize for her
answer to the puzzle in the OHIO
DEMOCRAT We give her answer
belo W in full.
Dear doctor, your puzzle I've read with
much care,
And to solve 1t, I'll try in u way that is fair,
So as you have given me such ample time,
Ny answer shall be, like the puzzle, in
rhyme.
I'll answer you fully, but you must keep
MUM,
And ANNA, has promised that she shall be
dumb,
witt pom, ink and paper, the DEED was
made plain,
SO no one need doubt, or quibble again.
With = heart high and free, the AVA
guar,
And the MINIM l sing, is so high in the
staff;
But am so hungry-cnn scarce write limo,
And MADAM has called, and the dinner is
fine.
The words in capitals, in their or
der, are the required words. This

The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1902-09-25

Not single member of the delega-
ton to the Republican joint senatorial
convention with jefferson and Clal-
lam counties, which Mr.. Shultz, of
Roche Harbor, was complimented by
being permitted to name because of his
own candidacy for the nomination, at
tended the convention, which was held
at Port Townsend last Thursday. The
light of Mr.. Shult2's candidacy was
snuffed out by the action of the Jeffer-
son county convention in endorsing
Mr.. Clapp after like action had been
taken by the Clallam convention, but
the fact that such was the case does not
excuse the handing over of the six
votes of this county to one of the Jeffer-
son delegates and leaving the county
without any personal representation at
the convention. The outcome of the
matter should serve to further empha-
size the folly of the proposition to al
low the delegates selected with especial
reference 10 furthering the possible
chances of Mr.. Shultz for the nomina-
ton for state senator to serve also as
