FAMOUS OFFICE BOY.
Enters Prize Story Contest in Our
Sunday Magazine.

At last we are privileged TO announce
the publication next Sunday Of q prise
competing story from Sewell Ford. the
famous author OF the Shorty McCa0e
and Torchy series we have been printing
for SO long in our Sunday Magazine.
Ford chose Torchy as leader in the con-
test for prize honors, sending in IN a.
mcst matchless tale about ''Torchy Tries
a Wizard Stunt OF course all our read
ers are familiar with the idiosyncrasies OF
this remarkable office boy of the Corfu
gated Trust: for he is q special protage
of our Sunday Magazine; and ell have
been looking forward TO the inevitable
time when he would branch out into mere
responsible duties.
WELL he has his chance at last; for
old Hickory Ellins. the Corrugateds
president, in desperation over the failure
OF all his officials to get q particularly
choice block of stock from q man who
didn't wish to sell, sardonically gives
Torchy the job, believing, OF course. that
the case is hopeless. 1t was up 20 the
versatile youngster TO make good: and
when he came back Old Hickory az
claimed:
'Son. I'm not asking how you did Il,
for II seems too ALFRED prompt ana
weird to have been strictly according to
Hoyle: but II you can keep out OF Jail
long enough you have great future
before you
That's what I'm diggin' In my toes
to overtake." responded Torchy.

The four-masted schooner Massasoit
with about 1900 tons Of Maine ice aboard

the southern truck gardens to the big
markets in the north.
Five vessels with Maine ice are expected
to arrive at Alexandria in the next month
or six weeks. and their cargoes will be
used for this purpose. The Massasoit
loaded on the Kennebec river and left

Borax Smith earned his money IL any

nine years in a desert where his men
habitually slept with their bodies in run

stones to temper the heat. Few could
endure the torment for more than q
month or two at time. Several became
insane, others murdered each other in
disputes brought on by nervous agitation
that the heat engendered; several died
in their hunks. overcome by the awful
temperature. Death valley is the hot

many lovely residences and charming
display of architectural taste and land

Everybody requires an explanation Of a
monumental hotel overlooking the city
from a slightly emnence, which is empty
and abandoned. and the story is that it
was built as an advertisement for an .'ad-
