Around the fireside or about the we'll
lighted family reading table during the
winter evenings the children and
grown-ups can play with their wits and
see how many words can be made.
20 people making the greatest mum
Der of words will each receive little
box containing a $1,000 gold piece.
10 people will each win one box con-
tanning a $500 gold piece.
300 people will each win box con-
tanning $1.O0 in paper money and one
person who makes the highest number
of words over all contestants will re-
ceive box containing $4,000 in gold.
It is really a most fascinating bit Of
fun to take up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
be added.
. A few rules are necessary for abso-
lutte fair play.
Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted, but no name
of person. Both the singular and
plural can be used, as for instance
grape" and grapes"
The letters in "Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts"
may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes, all those beginning with A to-
together and those beginning with E to
come under E, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces in the A, E..
and other columns to fill in later as new
words come to you, for they will spring
into mind every evening.
It is almost certain that some con-
testants will tie with others. In such
cases a prize identical in value and
character. with that offered in that
class shall be awarded to each. Each
one will be. requested to send with the
list of words a plainly written letter
describing the advantages Of Grape
Nuts, but the contestant Is not required
to purchase a pkg. These letters are
not to contain poetry, or fancy -four
ishes, but simple, truthful statements
of fact. For illustrations: A person
may have experienced some incipient
or chronic ails traceable to un wise Sc
lection of food that failed to give the

Science and Superstition.

There is a young woman IN Wasn'

IN domestic hygiene.
One day friend was walking WIN

Christian Experience.

Henry Ward Beecher once said:
shallow waters are easily muddied.
After a night of storm the waters of
the bay, along the beach, are foul and
black with the mire and dirt. But look
beyond. OUT into the deep water, how
blue and clear it is! The white caps
on the surface show the violence of
the wind, but the water is too deep
for the storms that sweep its surface
to stir up the earth at the bottom. So
is Christian experience. A shallow ex.
perience is easily disturbed; the merest
trifes becloud and darken the soul
whose piety is superfcial; While the
most furious storm Of life fails to
darken or. disturb the soul which has
atte'ned a deep experience OF the
things Of God

Means Larger Doctors Bills.

Legislation is threatened in many
States for the suppression Of the So
called patent" medicines. The sue
cess of such legislation would mean.
the abolition Of the home medicine
chest and would force persons, no mat
ter how remote their homes from the
home of a physician, or how needless
the additional expense might be. to
call in a physician for every minor
ailment.
The legislation as proposed would
mean greatly increased doctors bills
and what is worse frequent long de-
lays awaiting the arrival of a ply
sician to prescribe the equivalent OF
some of the family remedies that could
as we'll have been prescribed at home,
and which would have accomplished
the same result as the doctors remedy,
and at much smaller cost.

Women as Cane Carriers.

Although a great deal has been
written about women carrying walk
ing sticks, the fad mas never reached
such proportions in this country as
to make it familiar. That Is 'tly no
doubt a woman on Fifth avenue, the
other day, drew so much attention to
herself by really carrying a cane as
if she were quite used to it.
Her costume in itself would have
made her a conspicuous figure, for It
was a. scheme of gray. She wore q
walking suit of black and OF gray
woolen cloth, gray spats covered her
black boots, gray gloves were on her
hands and her pretty face was crown
ed with a little gray and black teque.
In one of her hands she carried a cane
of a light gray wood that had q
smart band Of silver around 1t just

Moved.

A Southern politician recently told
of an incident in connection with q
slight earthquake that visited one OF
the Gulf States not so many years
ago. The shaking of the earth was
distinctly felt all over the State, but
especially in the State capital. The
legislature was in session at the time,
and nearly every member thereof ran
out of the State House when that
structure began to evince a DISPOSE
ton to turn itself over. OF course
there was an end to legislative pro-
ceedings for that day. When the body
had reconvened it was found that
some member of a grimly humorous
turn had made an entry on the journal
of the Legislature in these words:

lature adjourned. ."-Harper's Weekly.

into the possession of slwood Hayward
ana Sarah 70. Eldridge. while the front
half remained IN the ownership Of
Susan Foraker. IN the articles of sale
the purchasers of The rear half OF the
farm, or the back farm reserved HE
right Of egress ana ingress over the

During The summer, however, the
owners of the front farm saw fit TO en-
close the lane. for the purposes OF agri-
culture, ana for additional pasturage
for cattle and sheen 7nd pat portable
yates at either end OF The lane entlos-

The gate anixes were objected tc by
the occupants of the rear farm, and
they not only pronounced the gates as
common nuisances, but came into chan
Gerry for an injunction, restraining the
front farm people from maintainine

staoles 20 free ingress and egress.
Chancellor Nicholson will probably
decide the case On Monday
