The subject OF today's illustration
ss not Santa Claus, as his hedge OF
whiskers might suggest, but Charles
D. Blandin. ESQ. who desires to COM
pete for the gold prizes and who has
made a modest start In that direction.
Mr. Blandin is a veteran lawyer and
Insurance solicitor who was rendered
homeless by the big FIRE Of last April
and is now living in the old folks refU-
zee camp at Ingleside. He is 81 years
of age. but optimistic in spite Of his
years and misfortune. He thinks that
he has made too late a start in the
race 10 win the first prize in the first
heat, but he expects TO capture the big
money in the subsequent heats and
win a good portion, ii not ALL OF the
s25Oeswhich is the maximum sum pos
sible for any single contestant 10 win.
Willie Brown. a hfteen-year-old high
school boy Of San Mateo, has just
heard about the gold prize contest, and
he thinks share Of the money should
go to the town OF st. Matthew. He
considers himself the very chap to
take care OF the money when il COMES
that way: he needs it for the further
ance Of his education and Is going TO
make determined effort to win it.. .

A happy new year to the gold prize
contestants And happy new year
twill be 10 those who gained enough
votes on the last day OF 1906 to move
inward in the score list.
There We're some doings out OF the
ordinary yesterday. the star perform
ers being Emile Hayward Of Martinez
and Reuben Bebergdu Of $685. Bryant
street San Francisco.
Miss Hayward registered gain Of
1900 votes and moved UP from third
10 second place ct the expense OF Mrs.
Deasv of Napa. This is the highest po-
sition Miss Hayward has reached yet,
and if she can hold the place until the
end OF next week she viii win purse
Of $500. Mrs. Deasy has lost 500 by
the slump in her position in the score,
unless she can recover ground before
the END Of the first heat OF the race.
Mr. Bebergall, who is young man
in the corset trade. made a gain OF over
$1,000 votes on the last day Of the old
wear he thought that he would surely
BE- No. this morning, but Miss Hay
ward disappointed him by making. a
big Jump herself. Bebergall moved up
from sixth to fourth place, a gain Of
$50 in prospective winnings, so he has
something TO console him for not land
ing quite so high as he expected.
j. Mrs May AicElroy was crowded out
OF the high FIVE TO sixth place. meaning
a loss OF SO TO her unless she can MAKE
il up in the next two weeks.
John Souther. the water front trans
fer man. celebrated the advent Of the
.,new year by moving up from No. l5 TO
uaghth place, with a gain Of 100 votes.
Some people regard No. lS as an un-
7luclky number. but il was no hoodoo 70
Souther Incidentally his change in po-
sition is equivalent TO gain Of $50 in
prize money, as he is now in the $50

For some time I have been wanting
to tell you of the great good your

here" writes Mr.. James F. Abernethy.
OF Rutherford College, N. c. IN fact,
all your remedies are doing noble
work. but your Liniment beats all. In
my eight years experience with med.

having tried 1t in very many cases. l
know of one young man. a brick-ma-
son, who suffered from partial. yes.
almost complete. paralysis Of one arm.
l got him to use your Liniment. and
now he can do as much work as ever.
and he sings your praise every day.
I get all to use 1t possibly can and
