: around the tireside or about the we'll
lighted family reading table during 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 Il little
box containing a $1,000 gold piece.
10 people will each win one box con-
taining $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 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-
together and those beginning with + to
come under E. etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces in the A. f,
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 plainly written letter
describing the advantages of Grape
Nuts, but the contestant is not required
TO purchase pkg. These letters are
not to contain poetry, or fancy -four
ishes, but simple, truthful statements
of fact. For illustrations: A person
may have experienced some incipient
or chronic ails traceable to unwise se-
lection of food that failed to give the
body and brain the energy. health and
power desired. Seeking better condi-
tons a change in food is made and
Grape-Nuts and cream used In place of
the former diet. Suppose one quits the
meat, fried potatoes, starchy, sticky |
messes of half-cOoked oats or wheat
and cuts out the coffee. Try, say, for
breakfast a bit of fruit, a dish of
Grape-Nuts and cream, two sOft-bOiled |

Possessed Of a Devil.

In small town in one of the south
ern states very good old minister of
one of the churches of the town was
presented with pair of new
breeches.
His old ones were not quite worn
out, so the new ones were hung in an
unfinished chamber to wear on state
occasions. The occasion came, and
the preacher donned his breeches,
which in the meantime had been the
abode of several hornets.
He entered the pulpit and began
his three hour sermon His firstly
was little uneasy, his secondly
showed signs of coming storm, his
thirdly" was a regular cake walk and
before his "fourthly' was finished he
said: Brethren, / am awfully sorry,
but l can't finish this sermon. You'll
have to excuse me. The word of God
is in my mouth, but the devils in
these breeches. "-Washingt Times

view says:
Spring buying an wholesale lines is
becoming more active, money is easier
and collections are genarally good. The
dry goods situation is exceptional, with
current business of good proportions,
and some houses report that sales for
January of this year were as large as

Clothing manufacturers are we'll sup
Piled with orders, and cancellations are
few; collections are good and the higher
price of garments has not apparently les
sened the demand. The advance In boots
and shoes has apparently stimulated
buying, sales for the week being very
satisfactory, and collections are up to
the standard The season in hats and
caps has not yet reached its fullest
activity, though orders in hand are of
fair proportions and the outlook appears
bright.
"Sales of leaf tobacco are light, owing
to the disposition of manufacturers to
hold back orders in the hope of lower
prices. Prices of lumber have advanced
10 per cent, with strong demand for
the better grades, and collections prompt.
The furniture outlook is not so good,
collections being unsatisfactory and or

j. Nota McQi1l, ex-register of wills
for the District of Columbia, and now
professor Of patent law at Georgetown
university, lost hat, point to a
joke, and a goodly amount of temper
yesterday. This is how it came to
pass:
Mr.. McGill was walking from the
patent Office up G. Street to his own
office, when he came face to face with
nor'wester.
Mr.. McGill is not of the excitable
kind, but when that nor'wester struck
him he lost his head-or rather his
hat.
"Hey, there" cried the ex-register,
stop that brand new hat of mine!
Won't some one stop it?"
There was something in the profess
sor's voice that appealed to dapper
looking stranger, who made lunge
at the head gear, but could do no
better than put his feet through it.
Consequently the brim was the only
part recognizable after the fatality.
well, you certainly have put your
foot in it, shouted Mr.. McGill.
BEG pardon, what did you say?"
asked the dude.
Il say you've put your foot in it,"
"By Jove, say not so, old chap
"Say not so yourself growled the
professor, you surely have fixed my
hat up all right"
II am awfully sorry-weally," con-
fessed the dude. ''Let me ave it
mended."
"Oh, no." said the exregister with
sarcasm, "the brim is not worth

TRACED TO EMPEROR ,,--,D.l..
Originator of Remark About "Forty,
Fool and Physician"


Originator of Remark About Forty,
Fool and Physician"
1t would appear that the Emperor
Tiberius was the originator of that
well known saying: Every man at
forty is either fool or physician"
But Tiberius said thirty. not forty, SO
Bacon informs us In his History OF
Life and Death:
"Tiberius, though a drunkard and
luxurious in his diet, was yet very
careful of his diet and used to say
that every one after thirty was either
a fool or a physician"
Probably Bacon's authority was
Tacitus ("Annals,' book VI, chapter
49,, who says of Tiberius that He
was wont to make sport of the physi-
clans, and of people who after thirty
needed others to tell them what was
good or bad for them" In Tacitus, of
course, the epigrammatic flavor is
lost.
But why has popular usage altered
the age from thirty to forty? Simply
on account of the ALTERATION, so car
essing to the popular ear. De Quin-
cey, who quotes the modern phrase in
his "Opium-Eater," dwells upon it's
alliterative value, and conjectures
that our forefathers emphasized that
ALTERATION by spelling physician with
an F. Likely some of them did. The
strange thing is that De Quincy
seems to have been ignorant of the
fact that the craze for ALTERATION
had gone so far as to change the age
in the proverb.-Penn Steele in The
Sunday Magazine.

Found Dead in Bed.

John H. Morris, the aged prospector,
was found dead in bed at his cabin
on Gold hill this morning, by one of
the Conner brothers, who first tried to
reach The Republican office from
Centennial and had to return to the
Buckeye ranch to get communication,
the Centennial line being temporarily
out of commission. Mr.. Morris has a
wife and daughter in this city. He has
spent a great deal of his time in the
hills and two weeks ago vas at Cen
tennial, returning to his claims. He
had evidently been dead for some time,
a. the body is in an advanced stage
of decomposition. Coroner Robinson
was notified during the afternoon and
at once left for the west, accompanied
by G. A. Campbell, and the inquest
over the remains of Kaufman mas
been postponed until his return. Mrs.
Morris and the daughter were notified
this afternoon.
