sued by Mr Brown and several neigh
hors who had been aroused by Miss
Browns csies.
Senator Brown and family, wEo
reside In Philadelphia, have a cottage
at 102 Vermont avenue, Chelsea, into
which t1ay moved recently. The
burglar gained access to the house
through a cellar window, going I'M
mediatelylto Miss Browns room, evil

He carried his shoes in one hand, and
in the other had bag for plumber.
When discovered he dropped both his
shoes and the bag, escaping through
the same window through which he
gained entrance.
AT his daughters first cry for assist
ance Senator Brown leaped from his
bed In the next room and, attired in
pajamas, chased the intruder through
the streets.
Mrs. Brown was said to be unstrung
from her encounter with the burglar.
Miss Brown, however, is little the
worse for her experience and was able
to discuss the affair with friends. She
said the negro was at her pillow when
she awakened, peering into her face
in an effort to discover whether he
had been heard. She knew that if she
screamed then she would probably suf-
fer at his hands, and determined to
pretend to sleep until he was off

Separate Awards for
Each Voting District
Practically Four Individual
Competitions.

The city has been. divided into four
voting districts. and each will have its
own set OF awards. This is for the pur-
pose OF eQualizing the distribution OF
awards among the people of the different
sections OF the city.
The four set OF awards will be iden-
teal, and will be given to the contest
ants In the various districts procuring
the greatest number or votes. This
makes the contest practically four sepa-
rate competitions. In addition to these
awards there will be a grand award OF a
$s,OOp house and lot to the contestant
with the greatest number OF votes in the
entire District OF Columbia, Irrespective
OF voting districts.
The district divisions have reference
merely to the awards and IN no wise re-
late to the methods OF obtaining votes
Contestants may procure votes in any
part OF the city. Irrespective or whether
the merchants which they patronize are
In their voting districts Tor not.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE CON-
TEST DISTRICTS,

will be advertised in connection with the
contest.
No skill is required in the contest. No
special qualifications are necessary to en-
ter. II you have enough spirit to desire
any of the $50 articles which are to be
awarded. you have the making OF a win
person can really do when he sets his
mind upon accomplishing a certain end.
You are not asked to spend a cent in
the contest. You are not asked to solicit
a single thing. All that is required of
you is to read The Herald carefully every
day. patronize' the special merchants and
manufacturers who advertise to give
votes in this contest, and obtain the CO.
operation of your friends in your per-
sonal campaign. Does that require any
special gift from the gods?
You cannot afford to delay in the mat
ter. The contest is now started. Start
early on your quest for votes. Send In
your nomination blank at once. so that
you may be registered as a contestant
and you may receive loo votes as a
starter
Always patronize merchants whose ad-
vertisements appear in connection with
the contest 1t is only by strict ad-
herence to this principle that you will
come to success Whoever you are you
have just as good a chance now for one
of the $50 articles as your neighbor. 1t
is altogether a question Of who takes
the greatest interest in the contest. The
man. who sets in his mind upon winning
a certain article and backs up his desire
by honest effort should be among the
victorious at the end Of the six months

friends. with the request that they pat
ronize the establishments and products
and save the votes for them. By follow
ing out this plan. the contestant will not
be required to spend cent TO obtain
votes. 1t is no trouble to the friends.
In asking a person to assist him in the
competition. a contestant Is doing
valuable service to that person. For by
patronizing these merchants and manu-
facturers, the public will be sure to get
the best quality at the most reasonable
prices.

UNNECESSARY BUYING NOT REQUIRED

There are two ways to get votes. One
deals with the patronage OF the retail
merchants, and the other with the pur-
chase or the manufactured products. BY
purchasing advertised products at adver-
tised esta bIishments II Is possible to get
votes twice for the same purchase.

The list OF these merchants should be
kept close at hand. SO that they may

be patronized when It is necessary to
make a purchase. The list is a complete
one, ana there Is hardly a conceivable
article which cannot be purchased at one
or the establishments.
The Herald should be read carefully
every day. The advertisements are scat
tered through the paper. 1t is a bad plan
merely to watch the classified lists Of
advertisers. BY reading each of the ad-
vertisement closely and thoughtfully. the
contestant will get an accurate know
ledge of what the various merchants
have to sell. and when it is necessary to
purchase any of these articles. he will
know exactly where to go, and not only
get what he wants. but procure the votes
also.
1t is advisable for contestants to secure
copies OF the list of advertising mer-
chants and manufacturers from the Ad
