Very good, children. You all
responded nicely to the criticism
made last week about careless
work, with the result this week
that it was difficult to pick the
prize winners from the very best
Jiggs funny sheet turned into the
Journal contest editor. OF course,
there were some that were not
very well done, but the general
standard of the work was very
much better.
All of the prize winners turned
in excellently colored sheets. They
displayed good taste in their
choice of colors, applied them very
carefully and consistently used the
same tones in the same scenes
throughout the picture sheet. one
artist painted striped wallpaper
on one of the rooms so accurately
and so smoothly that it appeared
to have been intended like that.
The contest is open to all chill
dren anywhere in the state. Their
colored sheets must be at the
Journal office by Wednesday, or
by Friday II they come from out
of the city. The name. address
and age of the contestant must be
attached to the sheet. No child
may compete again for four weeks
after he has won a prize.
Those who entered the contest
last week were:

the boys And then to Donohue
who'll be runnin' this chaser en-
gine?"
"It1l be John Hogan and the Four
Sixteen" said Donohue. There's no
body else at that end of the branch"
The arrangement, such as it was.
was fixed up quickly. The man who
was putting up the money seemed to
have plenty of it. He was offering five
hundred dollars for the engine, and
thousand if 1t should overtake the spe-
cial that side of Bauxite Junction.
/ guess the bleat unraveled itself
pretty clearly for all of us; or at.
least. it seemed plain enough. min
ing deal of some kind was on, and this
man who was left behind was going
to be left in another sense of the
word if he couldn't butt in soon
enough to break whatever combination
the others were stacking up against
him.
In just few minutes we got the
word from the Strathcena operator
that the money was paid and the
chaser engine was out and gone. Kir-
gan had come in to say that our good
natured strikers had thrown a guard
into the shops and were patroling the

Sheila, at that time of night, and /
saw seventeen different kinds of bloody
murder looming up again when |

trip down the hall to our offices.
The guess was right. both ways
around. 1t was Mrs. Sheila, and she
had the major with her. And the air
of the private office was so thick with
tragedy that it made the very cleo
tries look dim and ghostIy. Mrs.
Sheila didn't have bit of color in
her face, and her eyes had big hor-
ror in them that was enough to make
your flesh creep.
/ won't attempt to tell all that was
said, partly by the good old major and
partly by Mrs. Sheila, But the gist of
it was this: CollingwoOd had con-
tinued his booze fight in his rooms at
the Billiard until he had worked him
self up to the crazy murder pitch.
Then he had gone on the warpath,

"You may indorse that No Answer
and file it when you go back to the
Office" he said shortly, and then he
went on talking to Donohue, telling
him how to handle the trains which
were still out and moving to their tie
up destinations.
OF course, 1 read the message; /
knew there was nothing private about
it so far as / was concerned, since
it had been given me to put away in
the files. This is what read:
'To G. Norcross, G.. NJ,

conspicuous failure from the begin
ming. Compromise with employees on
any terms offered and prevent strike

because he had been hammered so

standing there, talking soberly to Don
ohue, when once more the Strathcona
branch sounder began to click furi-
ously, shipping out the headquarters
call. s
Donohue cut in and we all heard
the Strathcona mans new bleat. The
way he told it, it seemed that one
member of the party that had char
tered the special to come to Portal
City had got left, and this man was
now in the Strathcona wire Office, bid
ding high for an engine to chase the
train and put him aboard.

How to Succeed-How to Get

By JESSIE ROBERTS
LUCKY STRIKES

THE business Of making lucky
Of date. 1t isn't necessary these days
to kill Indians or. give a dying miner
drink. You can do it in less NOV
ing-picture ways than that.
A good idea properly handled has
often proved the best sort Of lucky
strike.
Take the case Of Elsie Shaver Of
New York. She conceived an original
idea in regard to dolls. She carried
ii out to the last detail. as perfectly
as she could--and that means lot.
Here is the result.
The dolls found q welcome waiting
for them. They were high priced, but
they were worth 1t. And people
bought them.
Now there is little shop working
fulltide making the dolls. There Is
large force following the designs
made by Mrs. Shaver. Money pours
in, and 1t Is a good business enter
prise-just lucky strike.
Other lucky strikes have been made
by young women In the advertising
business. Sculptors have made them
with quaint figure. I know a girl
who had a bright idea regarding a
department Of the store where she
works. She heads the department at
q mighty good salary now.
Lucky strikes are good things, and
we don't all fall on them. But 1 no
tice that each one that really brings
success Is accompanied by lot Of
hard work. The lucky striker has not
sat around waiting for luck to do the
rest.
No. She got busy herself.

Something to
Think AbOut
PASS 1T ALONG
By +. n. WALKER

NH card a good story the other
II day." he said, and then he re-
cited clean, wholesome anecdote,
which is said to have originated with
the late Champ Clark
He was passing along q little of
the Joy of life. He was distributing
smiles.
There is a manufacturing establish
ment up In New England, not big
enterprise. 1t is sort Of family af-
fair in which all the workmen and
their wives and sweethearts have a
more than wage-envelOpe interest.
The principal reason is that the
man who started it decided that he
was going to pass along the JOY OF
the success, If it was a success. and
he has continued to do SO from the
day the little factory opened.
If a particularly big order comes
and gives it to the superintendent,
and at the bottom of the slip OF
paper are always the words pass II
Along"
That means that everybody in the
factory knows the good news almost
as soon as the owner does.
And one year when the profits
showed larger than usual he had the
bOokkeeper draw up a little state
ment of the years surplus
When 1t was In his hands he took
his pen and dividing the total by two
he drew a ring around the quotient
and line from the ring led to the
words pass 1t Along" which meant
that half Of all the profits was divided
among the workmen.
The game of "Pass 1t Along" is a
great game. So many can play at It.
1t needn't take any money to start
il and none to keep 1t going.
All It requires is desire to make
people happy and a determination to
make the desire working reality.
1t is strange thing that we seem
more willing always to spread the I'M
pleasant news than the pleasant
The rumor that Jack has lost his
job gets twice as prompt circulation
as the fact that jill has received a
promotion. / wonder why?
We can pass along so many help
full things. Encouragement. Enthusi-
asm. Appreciation. Sympathy. Ev-
eryone of them without a penny of
cost, but so full of the profit of salts
faction, If we do 1t with a generous
spirit.
The parable Of the two debtors has
always seemed to me one Of the most
vivid of the illustrations by which
Jesus taught his great truths. You
will find the story in the latter part
of the eighteenth chapter of St.
Matthew.
The trouble with the servant Of the
king was that he did not pass along
to the man who owed him the char
liable treatment which his master had
shown in forgiving him the debt he
owed.
If you have something good, some
thing helpful, something that will make
another happier pass 1t along. 1t is
a profitable proceeding.
