 'aude Claude Kelly won the Had To s20 in prize money award Dvvy. ed for being good
 guesser during Suter'S big holiday guessing contest. But the twenty" did not do Claude much good personally, according to all reports, for it had to be divided about four ways from Sunday before every body was satisfied
 Immediately after the contest was decided in his favor, Claude spent part of the money buying" for the judges of the contest and those otherwise interested. He had eX- pected to do that but when he reached home that night he discov- cred that his wife had found out about his lucky streak and of course it was up to him to give her half of the twenty"
 Two well known young ladies of Fairbanks were just as good guesser3 as Claude having guessed the same article The reason they were not declared in on the winnings" was that their guesses came in later than MT. Kelly's.
 Consequently, having about five dollars left after he had bought the rounds and divided with his wife, Claude decided to be a real philan- thropist He therefore proceeded to the nearest candy store and pur- chased nice box of candy for each of the girls, one of whom, bat f~r hi7 being first in the glassinG would have won the prize.
