san F'rancisco-Dear Sir: RealiZ-
ing that at this stage you are look
ing for everything that might lead
worlds fair. ! take the liberty of
offering a suggestion.
As you of course know, every
exposition heretofore has had
memorial ode or poem commem-
Grating the event, and usually the
writer has been selected prior to
the event and the poem written to
order. In the case of the Philadel-
phia exposition of 1876 Bayard Tay
Tor wrote a dong poem for the
event, but unfortunately il did not
have the spirit and has been for
gotten long since. The same is also
true OF the other exposition, even
the Chicago fair and the st. Louis
exposition.
NY idea would be that in the case
of the san Francisco fair you offer
prize of some thousands of dol
lars for the best poem not exceed
so lines celebrating San Francisco
and the exposition, or both to-
gether. Ny reason for having the
poem short is that it would be
stronger. more easily remembered
and would travel farther.
The contest should be open to all

over and the contributions should
be submitted without the name, so
that the matter of reputation would
not stand in the way and would
leave the contest unlimited. 1t
would be necessary to have at least
two or three different sets of
judges, who would weed out the
worst material, leaving the deci-
sion finally to a board of high
literary authority and men of inter
national reputation.
For such a committee ] think you
can obtain one like: Edward Mark
ham, Henry Van Dyke. Theodore
Roosevelt, Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, William Allan White, etc.
] think that you would find that
such a contest would receive per-
haps more gTatuitous advertising
and enlist more interest among the
editors and papers throughout the
country and abroad than any other
method. Very truly yours,

THE VOLETS AND The WEEDS.

il was such a wonderful morning
The sky was CICud1esS. and the air
was soft and cool 1t was a Joy 10 be
alive. A CHEEKY breeze paused TO kiss
the little upturned flower faces as he
passed along and they trembled with
hspI mess The tall hoIlyhock at the
farther end of the garden waved back
and forth as the breeze danced by.
and then he began to sing a pretty
flower song The vioIets paused to
listen And il was just at this time,
y hen all was peace and contentment,
Il at something terrible occurred. for
all OF a sudden the vioIets discovered
that the awful army of the weeds
was peeping up through the ground
~Ch. the army of the weeds Is upon

The news brought terror to the

It was only for a moment. for he
knew that God had not made all that
purple loneliness only to have all cru
ely destroyed

return Of a prize contest
Since the commencement OF the new
contest yesterday, in which the prize
awards are five times what they have
been heretofore, / have been deluged
with expressions OF delight and enthu-
siasm.
IS expected, there is a wide di-
Ve1sity Of opinion on the subject en-
braCed in the questions asked
Already many answers have. been sent
10 me some Of which affirm that no
possible circumstances could arise to
Justify woman in marrying a man ten
minutes after being introduced 70 him

Others are equally certain that the
woman would be perfectly justihabIe
IN saking such a step, if. as the ques-
tons state, she knew only favorable
things Of the mans character.
Still others aver that no knowledge
would be necessary beyond her intui
tion7 asserting that a woman can gauge
him.
What do you think about the matter2
In the book which suggests the con-
test question, written By + 2 Roe.

concerns a girl who, under rather IN
usual circumstances. marries q man
whom she has not met but a few rniur-

LACK OF CONTINUITY
SPOILS EMBROIDERY
Break In the Work Often Pre-
vents Completion
Altogether

One reason why embroidered articles
are not completed IS that a woman gets
a stamped piece and a lot OF embrOid-
cry silk, takes them home, works on
the piece OF 4 time and then puts It
aside for several days
Then when she IS ready to take I'D
the work again she has probably for
gotten al about the scheu'e Of arrange
menr OF the COlOrs- She may make a
trip back to the store for the purpose OF
inspecting a sample finished piece. but
only TO find that the latter has been
sold
One very simple, Inexpensive and DTzo-
teal way 70 overcome circumstances OF
this kind is for her, as soon as she buys
the stamped article and the silk, TO take
crayOns Of corresponding COlOTs and
mark the different portions OF the
stamped pattern TO correspond with the
finished piece Then is there no danger
Of forgetting the cclors OF the design
