cocoa and chocolate are conducive to
health, because they are. so delicious
that their lovers and users are growing
in number so rapidly as to require al
most a daily revision of statistics. If

THE sKIDOO PROBLEM

Copyright, 1906, G. O. Kelly, Chicago.
A coin collector had an accu-
mutation Of pennies! He told his
son he would make him a present
of the entire lot if he would put
them in boxes, the same number In
each box. - ! ~:
There was an odd number of
pennies SO that If he put an equal
number, in each Of two boxes there
would be one penny left over; in
a like manner he figured on 8, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8, 9, 10, IL, 10, 13, IA, is, f16,
II, 10, -, 20. 81 and % boxes, but
in every case il, he put an equal J.
number in each box there would be
one (only one), penny left over.
The son gave it up and told his
father he thought it impossible to
perform the feat. p .,,
His father replied: 'SKIDOo
-23 for you.' !.
The son then put the entire lot
Of pennies in % boxes, the same
number in each box. How many
pennies were there?

Some one has played a pretty good
joke on the Skidoo Problem Editor. In
spite of the fact that the laugh is on
him, the editor believes he ought to
share it with the army Of figurers who
are after the right answer to the prob
lem. This morning the postnan brought
a suspicious. looking package. Despite
visions Of an internal machine sent by
some victim who. wanted vengeance for
the problem, the, editor mustered up
courage to open It: When the wrap,
pers were. off there were disclosed
twentythree neat, little red pill boxes:
In each: box was a quantity Of
minute bits Of colored paper,
such as one might pick up under
a perforating machine. !: The plain in
ference was. that the number Of pen
MES in each box mi ht be ,ascertained
by counting these. particles Of paper.
But, as the, editor = knows what the
right answer is, he will not be put to
the immense labor Of counting the pa
per dust in these red boxes. ~. :.
Meanwhile, glance. over the following
sample answers of the day, mostly diff
ferent from each other:

 The celebration on Labor day in Tombstone attracted a number of wis itors who reported a most excellent day of it. Tombstone won laurels in the role of host to the crowds who came to enjoy a holiday and were giv- en every attention as well as a good program. The first feature of the days program was the foot race and was won by Davis of the A. K. A. hose team, prize of $50 being the prize. Next came the street parade, which afforded amusement for the crowd. The floats and other features were good. But perhaps the most looked for event of the whole day was the hose race, the consideration being the sum of s750 in cash and a loving cup The race was a good one and spectac- ular in the extreme. The winners were the A K A. team of Douglas, who made the run in the excellent time of 26 3-5 seconds.
