at the giddy rickshaw boy as he passed

It was that same Reilly who one night,
glowing with Celtic fun, bethouRht him

Japanese tea house, wherein paper screens
only separated the rooms.
Reilly arose from his mat in one room &C

circus rider plunEes through the paper

In further proof OF the comparative

cash. Taking as an example the record

at Bremen on December by the North
German Lloyd steamer Main. one local

American money into German money. and
Il may safely be assumed that not all Of the
arrivals changed all their dollar bills.

migrants are fairly well Od and are taking
advantage OF the temporary slump IN

"At the time" he tells his friends, when
there were a lot OF little chaps attending q

Manifest Keen Interest.
Among the letters which accompanied
the answers were many which showed
the very keen interest manifested in the
contest, and few extracts from these
missives illustrates that fact better than
yards of description.
One Southeast Washington competitor
said:
81 am a school youngster. and history
has always been favorite study with
me. Therefore. 1 have found your contest
q great pleasure"
A young lady in Northwest Washington
said:
'1t was the most interesting puzzle
have ever tried
A lady in the southwest section wrote:
containing the pictures in the presidential
contest. 1t has been the means of giving
many Of us the pleasure of reviewing our
youthful study in United States history,
and incidentally it has caused us to look
into; the lives of our great men while
studying their features"
One little girl worker is a resident of
Kenstngton, Nd, and frequently she had
greatest difficulty getting the copies OF
The Star containing the pictures. but so
she several times persuaded her father to
come all the way to this city to get the
paper.
Educational Value of Puzzle.
Emphasis was placed on the educational
value Of the puzzle by another lady when
she said:
II have followed your contest with ever
increasing interest, and it has beer a
means of showing me how very little the
general public know about the earlier
Presidents"
THANK you for affording us such an
interesting and instructive set of puzzle
pictures" Park road contestant wrote.
One unfortunate competitor. residing in
Seaton place, announced in his letter that
he had either lost or there had been stolen
from his pocket packet containing all
his answers, but such was his interest In
the work that he asked anxiously that
his list be returned If any one happened
to find it and reported the fact. AS ii
happened, he would not have been among
the winners. because he stated he had
failed to find the upper half of the pic
ture Of President Garfield.

Because the correct answers were 50

consideration for their answers.
After many hours Of labor over the re-

themselves concerning the merits Of the
answers, the judges finally decided unan-

prize Of $40. The other prizes, five Of s.
each and five Of 81 each, were awarded to
the other workers in the order of merit
