—A Plan Devised to Find Out—
Learn Below Ilow to Earn $10
a Week Until Christmas*
Christmas is not far off, and you
haven’t as much spare cash as you
would like.
You can pick up $40 by watching tiio
TelegrupSi from now uinil Christmas
diy. Eusy way to make money, isn’t
It?
There Is no work in it, but rather
preamble amusement, it w.U furnish
p’aisure for the home circle, and is
somli'itoing which any intdligcn’t t>ei\
son tan engage In.
On Saturday morning next the 1<4-
egrnpii Will start a oowtest in whTcta
everyone of Its readers, both In Macon
and out of town, can partto pate in.
It 1b sontoihtng which need not bo con-
fined to the heads of to family, nor
yet to to older sisters and brothers,
for any young girt or boy wao can road
is as likely to earn to money as any
one.
Listen to to pain: Borfruling Sat
urday morning and from then on for
one week the Teflegtupfo will insert
somawhere among lts “Cheap Column"
advOTtisements a lost word or word out
of place. By watching to cheap col
umns each day for on© week and read
ing carefully every advertisement there
in, it will be no difficult matter to find
the lost word. Seven of these words
will form a sentence. To lliusirate:
Suppose on Saturday morning to Tel
egraph. prints In its cheap column an
advertisement like the following:
XMAS TRIX—The time is short:
prices low; Judicious the place is
here.
And then on Sunday suppose you
see the following:
WATCH the columns of the Telegraph
advertising for our special holiday
offerings.
And again on Monday you find tills
one:
WE do not hide our light under &
bushel. Our store Is always, there
fore, always crowded. ,
And on Tuesday you seo -this:
WE find that It pays pays to tel' the
public what we’ve got.
On Wednesday you may see some-
tiling like this:
LOST—An opportunity to Increase our
a trade by inviting the public to visit
our store.
On Thursday it may take this form:
OUR holiday trade Is good, because
go>od we advertised our goods.
And then for the last day, Friday,
say something like this one:
JUDICIOUS advertising always pays
a dividend.
If you are a careful reader you have
fo^nd that the word "judicious’’ woq
out of place in the Saturday ad; on
Sunday you found that importanit
word “advertising" out of place; on
Monday you found "ctlways”; on Tues
day "pays"; on Wednesday “a."; on
Thursday “good”; on Friday "am-,
dend.”
The week has been completed and
you have found one word each day,
which when put together form the
sentenoe "Judicious advertising always
pays a good dividend," which is a
maxim true as gospel.
If you have been quick, you have
rushed your ujswer to the Telegraph
office at the earliest hour possible Fri
day morning. If It was the first cor-
r-ct answer received, you will read in
Saturday’s paper the pleasant an
nouncement that you have received 55;
It the second correct answer, that you
have received ,3; and if third, 12.
Of course, -the sentence which begins
Saturday will not be the same ns the
above, and probably nothing like It;
so don’t attempt to guess until you
have reud carefully each of the seven
hpers beginning Saturday and con
cluding with Friday morning’s issue.
If you are not the Jlrst in this con*,
teat, don’t be discouraged, for the Tele-
graph Intends to keep It up. Maybe
indefinitely, but certainly for four
weeks—until 510 haa been distributed
In this way among the Telegraph’s
most careful readers.
Now, get ready; the contest will be
gin Saturday morning. Then walteh the

Why does tile Telegraph do this?
,*"*" er 5 ca “y—simply to have
tn* cheap columns” • or this paper
wS read. Or, in other words, to en
able Its advertisers to get the best re-
5??" , thelr advertisements.
That the plan is a good one everv ad
vertiser will recognise, nnd th»’Tele
graph w!>! be repaid ter its effort in
their bebnlf. As can be seen. It will be
necessary tor every contestant to read
carefully word for word and line for
lino in every advertisement in the
“cheap columns" In order to feel cer
tain that they have guessed the right
words. It will be necessary to read
every one of these advertisements ev
ery day in the week In order to form
tie complete sentence.
Thus every advertisement Disced in
the Telegraph’s “cheap columns" will
be read by Intelligent people, res/1
carefully to see If It contains the lost
word, and In reading the reader's
nind will become impressed with
wUMtver la offered therein. The re
sults of this sort of advertising will be
prompt etid direct, ft wifi at once cause
he Telegraph’s “cheap’’ advertise
ments to be among tbe most' valuable
In to paper.
. It will be well for merchants who
wish to get the benefit of this scheme
ot the beginning to get tltelr-ndver-
t’sements ready early Friday evening.
They wKl be ln”rted nt the usual rate,
with the positive assurance, as demon-
s rated above, that they will be- better
read, more closely scrutinised nnd
more effective In every wav than ever
h tore. There Is money 1} it, not oo:>-
r r the contestant, but for eve. - mar-,
chant who places his ads In the Tele-'
«rapli’s cheap columns.
SHo Was u Very Nice But a Very Fresh
Type water G'.rl.
For a reporter with luit little to write
and plenty of tlmo in which to write it
there is nothing more pleasant than to
dictate a imrratlvo to a cheerful type
writer, particularly if sho bo young and
have nice soft hair to distract the eyo and
well formed, white fingers and be, ex
ceedingly pleasing. But ter a reporter
with a long yarn to write ami a limited
amount cf time to finish it things somo*
times l-.avo n different aspect.
Near the nowspaper office is a typewrit
ing office which many men frequent. A
now girl came there ono day last week—a
real nico girl and an excellent operator—
hut she had never done that kind . . or!:
before. While she was sitting in tin r.ajn
room upon tho afternoon of her first day a
newspaper man camo bustling In, and—
"Mrs. J.. have you got anybody to take
a two column story In a hurry?”
"Yes," replied tho manager. "Hero is a
young lady who hns just come to us. Miss
Brown, Mr. Smith. You can go Into
that corner room."
In tlireo minutes tho young lady was
seated at her machlno, tho nowspaper man
was sorting out Ills notes, and tho door
was closed, so as to lcavo them undis*
turbed.
"Now, If you will, please begin,” tho
nowspaper man said. "In theso days of
stern reality and suffering nnd struggle
for existence a romantic cplsodo conics
upon one with tho refreshing delight with
which a traveler In a desort beholds an
oasis.”
Cllokoty, cllckcty, ollok went tho keys,
and tbon:
"Isn’t that lovely? Is it going to bo a
novel?”
Tho newspapor man looked up In amaze
ment, but it was utterly Impossible to bo
r.ngry with sttoh bluo eyes regarding him
In admiration.
“No," ho said. “Pleaso go on. In the
monotonous routlno of police court cases,
however, there was ono yesterday liohind
which lay a story so romantic and so pic
turesque that it would nlmost seem to
linvo been created by a great novelist who
had striven to exccodallhispastefforts."
When this hail been recorded, and while
tho nowspaper man was wondering what
ho would say next, tho young lady, smil
ing most radiantly, prattled on In this
fashion: ..
“That’s just splendid. It sounds llko a
real novel. Did you over read ‘Clarissa;
or, Tho Forlorn Hope?' It begins some
thing likothat, only It Isn’t so interesting.
Do yon know I novor took dictation liko
that before? Tho last place I worked In I
had nothing to do but copy letters. Oh,
dear, wasn’t it tiresome, thoughl”
Tho newspapor man felt his collar get
ting too small,but aftorswallowlngsomo-
thlng that scemod to stlok in his throat
he said as gontly as posslblo:
"Won’tyouploasogoon? I’m In some
what of a hurry. What havo you got
there?”
“Where?" In great surprlso.
"I moan plcasoread over what I have
dictated.
“Oh, how stupid I ami ‘In theso days
of stern realty'—how do you pronounco
that word, in two syllables or three?
Thank you—‘stern reality and suffer
ing’ ’’—
And sho read whnt sho had written.
Thon Just as tho nowspaper man had set
tled hook In his obnlr; determined to dto-
tato to the end without giving her another
opportunity to lnterrupt him, sho said:
“Excuse me. I think my hair Is coming
down. ”
Sho wont to a llttlo mirror in a corner
of tho room, oxamlncd her hair carefully,
and then after touobing up tho puffs of
her sleeves nnd smoothing her waist sho
sighed and returned to her scat
' “There, now; I’m all ready.”
For tho next few mlnutos sho had to
work so hard that sho hadn’t tlmo to say
a single word. But soon tho page was
filled, nnd she had to Insert n now sheet;
and that was her opportunity.
"Gracious! How fast you dlototol It
nlmost takos my breath away. But do
you know, I llko It I think It’s good
practice. Wore you there whdn all that
happened? Myl I wish I could bo a re
porter.”
Tho nowspapor man went on with Ids
dictation. Ho was fast growing hopping
mad, but ho hadn’t tho heart to soy a
harsh word to tho girl. Sho was really
very pretty, and ns sho became interested
in tho story n delicate flush mantled hor
cheeks, nnd It was n posltlvo pleasure to
watch her. . But a nowspapor man has no
tlmo tor plcnsuro daring business hours,
nnd theso charms did not interest him ns
much ns they might havo done under oth
er circumstances. But ho struggled hravo-
ly on.
■ "Oh I” sho suddenly exclaimed, stop
ping in tho middlo of a sentence. "Did
that really happen?”
“Yes, yes. Will you please go on?”
“Well, the Ideal I wouldn't have bo-
llcvcd it. Do yon know. I don’t bcltovo
halt whnt I read In the papers, bnt of
course If you say so It must bo true.”
“I'm very sorry I can’t chat with you,
Miss Brown, but really I’m In a great
hurry.”
"Oh, I beg your pardon. I forgot all
about that.”
For nearly ten minutes there was not a
break In tho dictation savo wlicro n sheet
became full and a fresh ono had to bo In
serted. Tho typewriter kept her lips firm
ly pressed together, as if sho were exert
ing all her strength to keep silent. It was
clear to sco that It could not last much
longer. In tbo middlo of n paragraph sho
suddenly stopped nnd with n brief “Ex
cuse mo ter a moment" left tho room. In
a few seconds sho returned with her jaws
moving convulslvoly and a piece of chow-
lng gum in her hnnd.
“Won't you havo some?" sho asked po
litely.
"N-n-no—and—I'll tell yon what—or—
I guess I won't havo tlmo to finish this
story today. I'll como hack somo other
tlmo."
"Oh, you’re not going are yon? I'm
awful sorry.-1 was jast getting Interested
in tho 6tory.”
"Very sorry—op—how muohf Hero.
All right? Good day."
And seizing the fow sheets that lay on
tho desk tho newspaper man went away
and finished tho story with a pen.—Chica

There Vlns Been Much Light Thrown
Upon the Subject* Since the A*tron->
onter* of the Seventeenth
Cent ary*
There can bo no subject moro calculated
to impress a man’s mind with his own in*
significance, compared with tho over
whelming power and glory of his Croator,
than tho Etudy and contemplation of tho
firmament In all its boundless Infinity. It
is not to bo wondered at that from tho
earliest ages tho subject lias never failed
to oxerciso a fascination over men, and
that thoso who, by their genius and learn
ing, have most nearly succecdod in solv
ing its mysteries havo always boon revor-
cnccd and esteemed to bo among tho wis
est men of tholr day. Moro has been dono
within the last 50 years then In nil tho
rest of tho world’s history toward tho
piercing of tho veil which shuts off from
our eyes tho boauties and mysteries of far-
off realms, nnd doubtless, by moans of tho
6pcctroscopo and Increased size in tho
lenses of our telescopes, wo shall bo ena
bled boforo long to unravel still moro so-
crets of tho universe, and further add to
our stock of information regarding the
construction and conditions of other
worlds besides our own.
Tho question ag to whether spaco is flnlto
or infinite can nover bo satisfactorily ar
gued out or indeed even thought of, for
tho human mind is Incnpablo of grasping
the existence of a limit to spaco, oven In'
its most abstraot form, but tho question
of tho infinity of worlds and their distri
bution in tho infinity of space lies moro
closely within tho soopo of human intel
lect, for wo havo many material facts and
calculations to go upon in discovering tho
probablo answer to this most fascinating
question.
Only as far back as tho seventeenth cen
tury astronomers placed tho number of
stars in tho universe as n little over 1,000,
but this was absurd, as tbo real numbor
visible to tho naked oyois about 7,000,
and perhaps treble that numbor onn bo
seen by persons with exceptionally good
eyesight. When tho heavens, howover, aro
examined through a telescope, tho number
of visible stars uro enormously increased.
In fact, It has been calculated that tho
great Lick telescope, tbo mostpoworful yot
made, reveals as many as 100,000,000!
Yot what is that vast number compared
with infinity? It cannot oven bo likened
to a grain of Eand on tho seashore, and
yet if wo think tho mattor out carefully
wc shall soo that tho number of visible
stars cannot really be lnfinito, for If thoy
wero tho heavens would bo a complete
blazo of light. This, of course, wo know,
is far from being tho caso, and indeed
there cannot bo any doubt that, in certain
parts of tho heavens at least, tho number
of visible stars is nlroady known, for ovon
with tho very strongest telostopos there
aro blank spaces which aro absolutely do-
vold of stars below a cortain magnitude
or even tho veriest trace of nebulous light.
Theso spaces aro known to astronomers
by tho namo of “coal sacks.” Thoy con
tain no stars fainter than tho twelfth mag
nitude, and, In fact, appear to mark thoso
parts of tho universe which are compara
tively thin. On tho othor hand, In other
parts of tho heavens wo havo not by any
means rcaohcd tho limit of tolespopic re-
solvability. It is curious, though, that
tlicso intensoly dark “holos” in tho bright
ompyroan are. mostly to bo found in thoso
parts of tho heavens whero most stars
abound, notably in tbo Milky Way. Thoso
rcmarkablo blank 6pots have boon a favor-
ito themo of discussion and argument
among oil astronomers, for, whatever tho
real ehnpo or distribution of that universo
may be, thoy point to tho almost certain
inferonco that In a particular direction at
least thero Is an actual limit to tho num
ber of stars, and if there is n limit in ono
direction wo havo every right to eupposo
that ouch is tho caso in othors, and that
wo havo only to wait for tcloscopos strong
enough to resolve thoso parts which nro
still unresolvablo to discover that a point
can bo reached when all tho stars of tho
universo nro unfolded to our gaze, and
that, no matter. how keen tho power of
our mechanical vision, wo can find no
more.
If, now, wo admit that tho numbor of
visiblo stars Is limited, tho next question
to bo asked is, What is tho ordor or shapo
of thoir distribution? Various astrono
mers havo had various theories about this
matter. Herschcl.was inclined to think
that tho visiblo universo was in tho shapo
-of a disk, thotigh his viows in this direc
tion woro considerably modified during tho
later part of his llfo. Struvo considered
that tho universo was in tho shapo of a
disk of limited thickness, but infinite
length—a theory which is hard to support,
ns, unless tho ultimato extinction of light
in spaco is believed in, that part of tho
heavens which lay toward tho piano of tho
disk would necessarily shlno with tho
brightness of tho sun. Tho lato Mr. Proc
tor, though finding It lmpossiblo to define
any particular shapo for tbo visiblo uni
verse. ns a whole, was of tho opinion that
tho brightest pnrlof it—namely, tho Milky
Way—was in tho form of a spiral. This
lattor theory, however, has many objec
tions to contend with. Otherastronomors
havo line! difiurent theories on this ques
tion, but all, or nearly all, appear to ad
mit an ultimato limit to tho sizoof tho
visiblo universe, or, in other words, be
lieve that tho galaxy of worlds which sur
round us form, in fact, but an islot in the
vast infinity of space.
It would appear at first sight that any
attempt to solvo tho question of the exist
ence of external galaxies and their dls-
tnneo was absolutely futile, yet such is not
tho caso. Tho result of calculation Is that
tho nearest external universe Is so far dis
tant that light from it travollng at tho
speed of 180,000 miles a second would tako
nearly 90,000,000 years to reach us!—

Horns*
Professor Cyrus Adler, osilitnnt curator
of oriental antiques in tho United States
National museum, describes an endless va
riety of horns made of divers material
used for religious purposes. Tho Berbers
have an instrument mudo of two rams 1
■im ii at tho ( iniii with » metal
mouthpiece. An ox’s horn or a cow’s
horn was sounded in Indio In honor of
tho Hindoo god Slvn. In Africa the tusk
of tho elephant Is used. Tho Ktruscnns
had a bronze born, a spcolmon of which is
in tho British museum. Tho kurna sound
ed by tho Brahmans was sacred and not to
be blown by any ono of low caste. Tho
Jewish chofhr, mado of a rain’s horn, is
tho survival of tbo most ancient worship.
Professor Adler write*, “It is not only
tho solitary musical instrument actually
preserved in tbo Mosaic ritual, but tho old
est form of wind instrument known to !hj
retained in use in the world.”—New York
Times. '

SNAP SHOTS.
They had boon,chums at collogo, and
they called each other John and Jack re
spectively.
“Jock, you ought to get married.”
“Not by a jug full. Do you think I'll
give up my independence”—
“Plnguo take your independence! Don’t
I enjoy os much of It ns you do? I tell
you”—
“What you have told mo a thousand
times beforo"—
“Jack, what do you havo against tho
women anyhow?”
“Oh, guess I know a thing or two about
them, and they're all allko.”
“You'ro cranky. Look hero, take my
own caso”—
“Yea, oven your own caso.”
“Jock, what do you mean?”
“That your wlfo”—
“You don't know anything about her.
You’vo only soon her onco or twice.”'
“Don't matter. Sho Is handsome, In
telligent, clever, yet for all that”—
“Well?”
“As jealous as”—
“Jack, you’re joking. Why, I’vo boon
married flvo years nnd havo two”—
“Don’t caro if you have a dozou. She’s
jealous, and I can prove it to you in less
than a week.”
“Ridiculous.”
“I’ll bot you n dozen bottles of oham-
pngno on it. I can”—
“Getaway. You’ro”—
“Tako mo up If you daro!”
“Tako you up? Of course I will, and
wo might os well havo tho first bottle now
at your oxponse, becauso”—
“We'll soo.”
“Why, Jack, tho excursion we aro go
ing on tomorrow will tako us three days,
and you will havo only four left.”
“Novor mind. I’vo thought of that.”
Tho next day they arrived nt tholr des
tination, tho llttlo summer resort In tho
mountains.
“John, my sister is going to Join us
horo, nnd ns I’ll bo tugging my camora
about I shall havo to leave hor to your ten-
dor moroios mostly.”
“Your sistor, Jack. Why, I haven't
soon her slnco you and I wore at collogo
together, and sho was just a little girl
thon. How delightful!”
Thon followod two days of trumping
about In tho mountains, lino wcAthor,
grand soencry, a glorious time, and then
away again.
Two days later Jack called at tho homo
of his friend. John Is not thoro, and that
ho knew boforohand, but his wifo is. Of
courso tho llttlo trip Jack and John lmvo
mado togclhor becomes at once tho subject
of conversation.
“Yes, indeed, wo had n most dollghtful
time. Tho wenthor, tho mountain air and
the scenery—oh, I cnjoyod It ever so much,
nud so did John! Ho was very much tak
en with tho trip, and Ills only regrot was
that you woren’t with us to enjoy it too.”
“Indeed! Well, that was very nice for
him to roraomber mo. But really I pre
ferred to stay hero at tho scasldo with tho
children, especially ar, I a:n nob very fond
of tho mountains anyhow. Yet John has
been telling mo so much about it I almost
wish I had gono.”
“Yes, I’ni sure you would havo enjoyed
it. Of courso I had my camera with me,
and I took somo pictures, snap shots. Oh,
nothing special I Merely amateur work,
but I thought you might enjoy looking at
thorn, and so I havo brought up somo of
them for you. I will just leavo thorn horo,
bo you can look thorn over nt leisure.”
“Well, bow kind you arol Of courso I
shall enjoy them over so much.”
“Two hours later John comes homo and
finds his wlfo wearing a look on her faco
as threatening as a cyolono storrooloud.
“That must have boon n flno tlmo you
had on yoiit trlpl”
“Certainly. Haven't I been tolling you
about It till my tonguo almost won’t wag
any moro?”
“Oh, yea, Indoedl I'm on to youl”
“Wiiy, Lottie, dear”—
“Don't you ‘Lottie, dear,’ mo! I know
just what kind of a tlmo you havo had,
nnd I’vo got it black on white too. Oh l#
yes, you needn’t look so innocent.”
“Why, Lottie, I told you about nil tbo
places wo went to and all tho peoplo wo
mot.”
“Yes, and who Is this woman with you
who”—
“That? Why that Is Jack’s sistor. I
morcly forgot”—
“Oh, yes, you can’t work that on mo.
There, how tondorly you help hor ocross
tbo stile, thero eating from tho samo lunoh
t, nnd thorn even actually bolding
her In your arms! You ralserablo”—
"Why, Lottie, sho stepped on a stono
nnd would hnvo trlppod and fallen If I
hadn’t caught her, but whore did you get
these?”
“That nico friend of yours was kind
enough”—
“Tho mean rascnll”
“How mean In him to give you sway,
indcod!”
“A dozen bottles of champagno!” and
then ho broko down, and ho laughed till
ho orlcd, while his wlfo looked on, half
wrathful, half inclined to join in his mer
riment, but utterly at sea ns to tho c&uso
of it. Thon he confcsEcd it all, and sho
laughed, too, laughed till tho tears stream
ed down hor faco, but Jack laughed last,
and he had tho beat laugh of them all.
And Jack! Well, I10 doesn't Hccm to have
had any very Serious objection ( against
womon, after nil, for ho got married lately
