Cash Prizes Given for Best Sug.
gestions on How to Spend
Fifteen Dollars for
Christmas

Another cash prize contest that
came to an end this week was that
of suggestions for the best manner in
which to spend SIS for Christmas
presents.
The plan was this: An imaginary
family had only Sl5 with which to
buy Christmas presents. The ques-
tion of how best to Spend this, that
everybody should fare we'll and be
satisfied became knotty one. For
this reason the Tribune volunteered
to pay for number of suggestions
for helping the imaginary Smiths
out of their dilemma.
The prizes offered were SO for the
best letter; 50, second best; 81,
third, and since the letters have
beeh looked over it was rather hard
to decide between a couple of them
so an extra prize of SO cents has been
added for the fourth best letter.
The prizes were awarded in the
order in which these letters are pub
| lished:
Dec. 8, 1905.
