BY Daddy Jim.

We didn't offer any prizes last
time, because we wanted to see what
you would do for the love Of writing,
and not for the sake Of what you could
get out of it. There were not so many
letters this week, but several of them
were good, and to one little girl, who
has tried for the third time to win
prize, we are going to send a special
reward of fifty post-cords. Here is
I her letter, and another letter which
came with it is even better, because it
will sound a note Of encouragement to
others.
Third Time is the Charm.
"Dear Daddy Jim: Here I come

am, your little friend, Lizzie Ivey."
A Word of Thanks.
We want to thank all our little
friends who have sent us subscriptions
to the paper. Many have; sent us
clubs of ten, and great many have
sent single subscriptions. One little
boy of twelve stands first in the list
of those who are trying to win our
cash prize of ten dollars for the larg-
est number Of subscriptions sent IN
before April LIST, and even it he fails
to win the prize, he has made more
than ten dollars in commissions We
will pay every little boy and girl who
sends us a subscription for more than
three months, and if you don't want
the money, you can have prize. Tell
Daddy Jim what you would most like
to have, and he'll tell you how to go
to work to get it.
