Around the Preside or about the
well-lighted family reading table dur
ing 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 num-
Der Of words will each receive a little
box containing $1,000 gold piece.
10 people will each win one box con-
tanning $500 gold piece.
300 people will each win box con-
tanning s1.00 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.
1t is really 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-
gether 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.
1t 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

Prairie poas Killed bx soap.

John F. Braun, a farmer near Mil
tonvale, Kan, had about 100 prairie
dogs on his farm and started in to
wipe them out He used traps. After
he had caught about thirty the rest
got wise and would walk around his
traps Among the thirty was one
that the trap didn't injure and he put
1t in a cage for pet. BY mistake
his children fed the prairie dog in the
cage small piece of common soap
one day. Within five minutes the
prairie dog was dead. Mr.. Braun de-
cided to experiment. He cut bar of
soap into small pieces about the size
Of hazel nut and threw a few pieces
into each hole in dog town" The
next day there wasn't a solitary
prairie dog left to tell the story. All
were dead. Ten cents worth of soap
will clear big farm of prairie dogs

TESTIMONIALS HARD TO GIVE

SVHo SuptSTtu9cS employed py Nina
Hearted Persons.
The giving of a character" to do
nestle servants is one of the severest
tests Of the employers character. An
Irish master, being called upon to
write testimonial for a groom whom
he was discharging for drunkenness,
gave him good character, but omit
ted to mention one trait. The groom
returned the letter, objecting that it
did not say he was sober. The mas
ter added sometimes SOBER" and the
man was content. The woman who
had to recommend the inefficient cook
she had kept for seven years only
because she was afraid to give her
notice went one better. She had COW
cred three pages with undeserved
concentrations she had placed 1t in
an envelope and addressed 1t, and
her conscience pricked her badly.
Then she had happy idea, and broke
open the seal, adding to her letter, as
postscript. God forgive mel 1t

does not relate II 1t satisfied the 9TH

The Formulation Of Heaven.

Moncure D. Conway in his reminis-
cences relates story that was told
him by Helen Taylor, the stepdaugh-
ter of John Stuart Mill. Willie in Scot
land she called on a poor woman who
had lost her little son. The mother
refused to be consoled, saying:
What troubles me is they be all men
folk up there in heaven and won't
know what to do for him."
1t appears, therefore, that the New
York preachers who have announced
that there are no women angels can
not be accepted as the discoveries Of
this great and interesting fact.

made the trip from Los Angeles to
Chicago last summer on a special
train over the Santa Fe" In less than
40 hours. That whirlwind train cost
him more than $4,000. 1t was the
fastest long distance run over noun

American railway. 1t demonstrated
beyond dispute that the Santa Fe
