A Successful Expedicnt.


A certain prominent minister was
compelled not long 6 to give strict
orders that. while he was engaged in
the preparation of his sermons. his
young son must be kept reasonably
quiet. In spite of this, however, there
arose one morning q most astonishing
noise of banging and haminering, which
seemed TO indicate that the steam
heating pipes were being Knocked to
pieces. Hurrying out of his study, the
minister encountered his wife.
my dear, what in the world is Bobby
.doin-?" he asked.
why, he is only beating on the ra-
diator downstairs" was the somewhat
surprised reply.
well, he must stop it," the minister
said decidedly.

INTERESTING CONTEST.
Henxx COST of unnuid pnstnge.


Ore 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 10
those making the most words out of
the letters Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts
The contest was started in February,
1905, and it was arranged to have the
prizes awarded On April 80, 1906.
When the public announcement APP
peared many persons began to form
times the whole family being occupied
evenings, a combination of amusement
and education.
After awhile the lists began to come
In to the Postum Office and before long
the volume grew until it required wag-
ons to carry the mail. Many of the
contestants were thouglitless enough
to send their lists with insufficient
postage and for a period it cost the
Company from twenty-five to fifty
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
Dictionary was the standard and each
list was very carefully corrected ex-
cept those which fell below 5000, for
1t soo.l became clear that nothing be-;
low that could win. Some of the lists,
required the work of a yeung lady for
n solid week on each individual list.
The work was done very carefully and,
accurately, but the Company had II
idea, ut the time the offer was made,
that the people would respond so gen.,
orally and they were compelled to I'LL
every available space in the offices
with these young lady examiners, and
Notwithstanding they worked steadily.
1t was impossible to complete the eX-'
animation until Sept. 90, over six
months after the prizes should have
been awarded.
This delay caused a great many in
1uiries 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 condi-
lions of the contest.
Many lists contained enormous num-
bers of words which, under the rules,
had to be eliminated .Pegger" would.
count "Pegggcrs' would not. Some lists
contained over 10000 words, the great
majority Of which were cut out. The
largest lists We're checked over two and
IN some cascs three tines to insure
accuracy.
The $4,000 gold prize was won by
Il. d. Reese. 1927 18th St, Denver,
Colo, with 994l correct words. The
highest $1,000 gold prize went to S. Il.
Fraser. Lincoln. PA. with 1921 correct
words.
