Winner of the So. 90 prize, Nellie Hill.
Correct answers were received from
the following competitors: Alma
Roos, Ruth 81. Orr, Nellie Hill, Earl
Fullwiler, Wayne Canright, Mark
Winsor, Wennie Lowell, Daisy E.
Mott, Dorothy Dickey and "Willie"
Fleming. The puzzle editor has
ruled out "Willie" on account of his
age-we believe he is slightly over 16.
Here is his letter which is worth
200, and we hope he will try again.

The winner was determined in the
following manner. The names we're
written on pieces of cardboard exactly
of size; the pieces of cardboard we're
placed in hat and we'll shaken up;
Guy Cordiner, assistant postmaster of
Princeton, was blindfolded and the
first piece of cardboard he drew out
contained the name of the winner
Nellie Hill.
Seven of the competitors guessed
five of the towns correctly but substi-
tuted Deer River for Elk River. A
deer and an elk look very much alike
in a small picture, and the mistake
was quite natural. Under the circum-
stances we concluded to give an ad-
ditional prize of S1.00, to one of the
following seven who had mistaken
the elk for a deer: Wanda thinner
man, Mary Newbert, Hattie Smuckler,

Gertrude Lamb, Bernice Turner,
Nellie Foltz and Gertrude Bishop.
The same course was pursued as in
determining the winner of the $500
prize, and Nellie Foltz was the lucky
one.
Thirty nine other answers were re-
ceived. Six guessed that No. 6
was Wilson. Four guessed that No.
2 was Little Falls and Granite Falls.
Several guessed that No. was Ham
line, St. Paul and Minneapolis, on &C.
count of the fair we presume. One
guessed that No. 4 was Dunnell, etc.
Answers were received from Benton,
Sherburne and Isanti counties, one
from East Troy, Wis.,, one from
Brainerd, one from Minneapolis, but,
of course, the greater number were
from Princeton town and village and
Mile Laos county.
The second of the series of refuses
will appear next week. It will be
harder to solve than the first. Com
petitors should send in their answers
early, but the polls will be kept open
until Wednesday afternoon in order
to give outsiders a chance. All COM
petitors will be given "square deal. -
The puzzle editor will show no par
tiality.
Many of the letters received from
boys and girls are a credit to the
writer's neatly written with correct
spelling and punctuation. A few of the
letters evidenced carelessness on the
part of the writer's. We may conclude
to offer prize or two, after the last
of the REFUSES has appeared, for the
neatest and most correctly written
letters received from competitors for
the prizes. Now, boys and girls, look
to your penmanship, photography and
punctuation.

IN FIELD OF LITERATURE

New Books Soon Out Hamilton
Busbey for 3S years connected with
Turf, Field and Farm and author OF
THE Trotting and Racing Horse in
America" and History of the Horse in
America" has written an important
new work entitled "reminiscences OF
Men and Horses" which Dodd, Mead
& Co. will publish this spring. Mr..
Busbey is one of the foremost authori-
ties on the horse in America, and has
been the intimate of all the great
breeders and trainers. including Rob
ert Bonner, Benjamin F. Tracy, Sena-
tor Bailey, etc. The book will contain
many interesting portraits of both men
and horses a sequel to Mr.. Barnes
of New York" by Archibald ClaverinS
Gunter. is announced by Dodd, Mead q
Co. 1t bears the title MIR. Barnes,
American and will be illustrated by
B. Martin Justice. "Mr. Barnes OF
New York" has probably had more
readers and been published in more
different languages than any other
novel in the past 80 years. On the day
it was issued not a single copy was
sold but within seven months the sales
amounted to one hundred thousand
month. MIR. Barnes of New York has
also been extraordinarily successful as
play, and is still being performed.
At one time no less than 10 companies
in England were giving various YER
sions of it, the copyright not being pro-
tected there. THE Far Horizon, the
first novel by Lucas Malet since her
famous story, Sir Richard Calmady.
is causing a great deal of discussion in
England. and will undoubtedly be one
of the most noteworthy books of the
year in this country. Dodd, Mead &

The Cost Of the Canal.

The time required for the construc-
ton of the lock canal is about eight
years, writes Secretary Taft in the
Century magazine, or virtually one-half
the time that the sea level would con-
sumo. The expense in round numbers,
including the interest on the invest
ment during the additional eight years
that the sea level canal would take
for building and the loss of profit dur
ing those eight years from the tolls
which would be earned with lock
canal, would make the difference in
cost between S150.0O0.OO0 and $780,
100000. In other words, the time and
cost of the sea level canal are just
about double that of the lock canal.

The Grip,

Before we can sympathiZe with
others. we must have suffered our
selves" No one can realize the suffer
ing attendant upon an attack of the
grip, unless he has had the actual eX-
perience. There is probably no. dis
ease that causes so much physical and
mental agony, or which so successfully
defies medical aid. All danger from
the grip, however, may be avoided by
the prompt use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Among the tens of thousands
who have used this remedy, not one
case has ever been reported that has
resulted in pneumonia or that has not
recovered. For sale by all leading
druggists.

cents a mile which is generally all
velvet" as the members heretofore
have ridden on free passes given them
by the railroads.
Even though the agitation now
sweeping over the country against
free passes compels the members to
pay railroad fare still there would be
something saved from the mileage, as
they would not have TO pay more
than two or three cents a mile and get
back 30 cents from the government.
There are other incidentals, such as
stationery and other perquisites, which
possibly may be manipulated in such
way as to exc out somewhat the pit
lance of S25 to $50 day for the time
that the members have to spend in
Washington saving the country.

Our Hard Run National Legislators

Some of the United States senators
are manifesting a real mean DISPOSE
ton. Most of them being million
aires they do not need more salary;
and those who are poor, like our own
Uncle Shelby Cullom, are too honest
to engage in a raid on the treasury.
even though they need the money.
1t therefore develops that the ex-
pected rescue that statesmen of the
house were looking forward to hope
fully is unlikely to come, and before
the session ends we may hear of some
deaths from starvation among the pa
triots who are serving their country
in the house at the starvation pittance
of $55 day, including Sundays and
holidays. for the short session of
three months. which will be the limit
of service for this fiscal year.
OF course the situation becomes
more desperate when sessions are
more prolonged and may run into five
or six months with. the result of re-
ducing the per diem for days service
in Washington to less than $50 day.
This pittance may be helped out a
little by the mileage allowance of 20
