PROVERB COUPONS

from Flames.

Were this an ordinary newspaper
What might have been an irrepa-
rable loss was narrowly averted yes

But 1t ia not an ordinary story it's a
most extraordinary one, and we will
tell 1t the way the little girl told it to
us.
"oh, mister" she said, please let
me have Proverb Contest pictures No.
rs, 26 and 27 I don't need the others;
they're safe. I pulled them out of the
stove. You see, auntie is staying with
us, and she didn't know about the
Proverb Contest, and SO she put my
coupons in the stove this morning to
light the fire. ran in just as she put
a match to them. I saved all
but three. l remember the answers,
all right, but, If they had all been lost
don't know what should have
done"
Some of the worlds most priceless
manuscripts have been unknowingly
destroyed by the uninitiated, and, by
the serious aspect on the little girls
face this morning we know she would
have felt just as badly about the loss
of her pictures as Euclid did about
the loss of one volume of his work.
Interest shows no sign of waning
in the Evening Stars Proverb Con-

running higher with each successive
picture and the daily list of entrants
Is even larger than at the start Of

Only few days remain before the
proverb study will cease, and while
of course, contestants are keen to
know the outcome of their labors,
many express regret that there is to
be an end to the puzzle series. For
not only has 1t opened up an oppor-
tunity for gain, but has provided a
very popular means of entertainment
for thousands.
A letter was received yesterday by
the proverb contest editor in which
the spirit of self-sacrifiice which
Christmas promotes was vividly
shown. The letter enclosed 20 cents
in stamps, and it was written in a
childish handwriting. 1t follows
Dear Mr.. Editor of the Proverbs:
