The boys corn CLUB work, under the

who is in direct charge OF this special
work for the department. He says

Ing in by every mail from every part
OF the State, so that this work IS sure
to assume far greater proportions than
last year, when the first effort OF the
sort was launched.
The State has been divided into ten
districts, with a view to putting each
section on fair and average basis
for competition. There are three
prizes for each district. These are
respectively. s25. SIS and $40. Then
there will in many instances be local
prizes offered in a supplemental way.
Mr.. Parker says large number OF the
county superintendents OF schools are
giving valuable aid in this work In
spite OF the fact that the State Depart
ment Of Education and the Agricultu-
raj and Mechanical College have
formed an alliance in sort of rival
undertaking.

made that the copper merger would

Existence OF a large short interest

that as fast as this short interest was

his assistants-for it is their duty to
ascertain the origin of every fire, a
task that not infrequently demands the
ingenuity OF a Sherlock Holmes. To

The question of the origin was very

charred remains of the laundry, the

clusion that the fire had started there.

continued Marshal Nicholson, sin which
sufficient evidence Of incendiarism was
obtained to bring the perpetrator before
the grand jury. The man whose prem
ises were damaged claimed to have had
stored, back of f1imsily constructed
closet or cupboard between the mantel-
piece and the wall, some valuable furs
and jewelry amounting in value to quite
a sum Of money. 1 examined the cup
board in which the man claimed to have
kept his valuables in a woo den box on
the floor. Now, 1t was singular fact
that, although the wallis were plainly
burned and nearly destroyed indeed, the
floor was scarcely scorched, and GER
tainly showed clearly that there had been
no box burned upon II. Another rather
suspicious circumstance was that. al
