GRAPE.NUTN.
INTERESTING CONTEST
Heavy Cost Of Unpaid Postage.

One of the most curious contests ever
before the public was conducted by many
thousand persons under the offer of the
Postum Cereal Co, Ltd, of Battle Creek
Mich, for prizes of 81 boxes of gold and
300 greenbacks to those making the
most words nj of the letters Y-I-O-
Grape-Nuts.
The contest was started in February
1906, and it was arranged To have the
prizes awarded on Apr. 30, 1905.
When the public announcement APP
peared many persons began to form the
words from these letters, sometimes the
whole family being occupied evenings, a
combination of amusement and educa-
ton.
After a while the lists began 10 come in
to the Postum Office and before long the
volume grew until it required wagons to
carry the mail. Many of the contestants
were thoughtless enough to send their
lists with insufficient postage and for a
period it cost the Company from twenty
five to ffty-eight and sixty dollars a day
TO pay the unpaid postage.
Young ladies, generally those who had
graduated from the high school, were
employed to examine these lists and
count the correct words. Webster's Die
tionary was the standard and each list
wal very carefully corrected except those
which fell below 5000, for it soon became
clear that nothing below that could win.
Some of the lists required the work Of a
young lady for a solid week on zach in
diyidual list. The work was done very
carefully and accurately, but the Company
had no idea, al the time the offer was
made, that the people would respond so
generally, and they were compelled to
fiji every available space in the offices
with these young lady examiners, and,
Notwithstanding they worked steadily,
il was impossible to complete the ex-
animation until Sept. 20, owe six months
afterthe prizes should have been awarded.
This delay caused a great many in
auiries and naturally created some dis
satisfaction. 1t has been thought best to
make this report in practically all Of the
newspapers in the United States and
many OF the magazines in order to make
clear to the people the conditions of the
contest.
Many lists contained m num-
bers Of words which, under the rules,
had to be eliminated. -Pegger" would
count "Peggers" would not. Some lists
contained over $1,000 words, the great
majority of which were cut out. The
largest lists we're checked over two and
in some cases three times to insure ac-
curacy.
The $1,000 gold prize was won by l.. ID.
Reese, 1227-l5th St, Denver, Colo, with
994I correct words. The highest 5000
gold prize went to 5. X. Fraser, Lincoln,
Pa, with 1921 correct words.

Tons RIVER, n. j., Oct. l8.-Mrs. Althea
Calverley the mother Of DR.. Frank Bruower
tool the stand late this afternoon to testify
in behalf Of her son, who is being tried for
his life. After she had left the witness
stand the attorneys for the defence an
nounced that they rested their case.
The court room had been gradual grow
ing darker, and the wind OF the gathering
storm caused the bows OF the naples out
side TO slither across the window panes with
insistent screeching. When Mrs. Calverley
took the oath and sat down in the witness
chair the blacknese OF her widow garb lost
itself in the general darkness and only the
whiteness OF her face appeared to those in
the benches. When the first question Of
Attorney Carmichael was addressed to her
she answered in a strong, almost masculine
voice. Finally a lamp was set on the Judges
desk by her side.
The sight OF his mother broke the nerve
Of the prisoner, and for the second time
during the trial he sobbed. He covered his
face with his hands and sobbed without
shame The mother never once looked at
the son. She kept her eyer fixed on the face
Of Carmichael. When she passed within
two feet OF the prisoner on leaving the stand
she paused in one seconds INDIGESTION and
lifted one hand as II to lay it on his shoulder,
then passed on to her seat.
Where have you been since Mrs. Brouwer
died?" asked the attorney.
Il have beer staying at she home Of my
son, caring for his two motherless babies"
Then she told how the had been sum-
moned to her SON. home at the time Of Mrs.
Brouwer's fatal illness, how she had helped
end the sick woman and now she had re-
ceived her dying injunction. II was on the
night of her death that Mrs. Brouwer, in a
lucid moment, called her to her bedside.
~She asked me in a whisper to take care of
her two boys. to love them and make a home
for them said the witness.
Mrs. Cal verley corroborated the testimony
given yesterday on h stand by DR.. Brou-
wer as to the symptoms Of the invalid's
disease and the nature Of the commissions
that racked her for the successive days.
Then the attorney questioned her on the
attitude of her son oward Miss McCiena-
han. the governess. who came to take care
Of the children after their mothers death.
Did you ever see Miss McClenahan alone
in the company Of the accused" asked
Carmi chael.
Never said the witness with a deter
mined biting of OF the word.
Did you ever see the accus ed indulge in
