up from these letters
LILO Grape - Nuts
So people will earn these prizes.

Around the flreside or about the we'll
lighted family reading table during the
winter evenings the children and grown
| D can play with their wits and see how
many words can be made.
20 people making the greatest number
| of words will each receive a little box
containing a $1,000 gold piece.
10 people will each win one box con-
tanning a $500 gold piece.
800 people will each win a box con-
tanning $1.00 in paper money and one
person who makes the highest number
of words owe all contestants will receive
a box containing $4,000 in gold.
1t 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 absolute
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-
gether and those beginning with + to
come under e, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces, in the A, e. ana
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 contest
ants 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 n Will be re-
uuested to send with the list OF words a
plainly written letter describing n ad-
yantages of Grape-Nuts, but the contest

clifton Of the pass system, is paying his
own fare when he rides. His son, Rob-
ert Kelso Cassatt, it is reported, is also
setting the riding public a good example.
An innovation of kindred cost has been
introduced on the Reading road, where
paying passengers must be provided
with seats, even though those travelling
on passes should have to stand. Be-
sides, pass-holders must show their
passes every ride, no matter how well

LEGISLATORS Entertained.

One of the most interesting and en-
ioyable of entertainments was that

at Jackson to the members of the legiS-
lature and their families. The dining
hall was arranged to seat two hundred
guests, with a bevy of the older girl
pupils of the institute acting as wait
resses-all ~mutes-yet all bright and
intelligent, the picture of contentment,
all eager to assist in entertaining the
distinguished guests. The legislative
party saw enough to realize that if
there is one institution in the State
worthy the fostering ARE of a paternal
government it is this same asylum.

new trial is granted.

be. It can do so by discontinuing its
senseless, fruitless attempt at higher
cultivation of the negro. AS long as
the vast majority of the race in the
South remains as it is, the strong
arm of white control must be
strengthened and encouraged to ex-
ert itself.
The negro must be taught the rudi-
mentary virtues he has forgotten be-
fore he can aspire to higher educa-
ton. He must be made to obey, alb
solutely. He must be compelled to
restrain himself. He must fear and
respect the law and he must be made
to understand that if he dares so
much as think wrongfully Of a white
woman he will deserve death and at
the slightest indication of an intent
to commit wrong, he will receive 1t.
The North can do its duty by first
understanding the condition as it is
and then uniting with the Caucasian
of the South, In knowledge of and
sympathy with his situation, to devise
proper, adequate and permanent re-
lief.
What is now needed is less seati-
ment and more common sense on the
part of the North. All the money it
has tc devote to humanitarian pur-
poses and all the sympathy and sup
port it can summon should, in this
grave emergency which threatens
North and South alike, be placed, IN
reservedly and in the fullest conf
dence, back the better class of, white
people in the South who alone are
possessed of a full comprehension OF
tie true situation and who alone are
competent to deal with it adequately
and justly.
