Scores have been kept and the losers are Miss White, Mrs. Cronk, Mrs. Hoffmann, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Shoulderblade, Mrs. Johnson, Miss Shultz, Mr. Chase, and Miss Warner. -------- ▼-------- How Mr. Pulitzer Pronounced His Own Name It was from the handsome Irishman E dward J. G all mayor of Laconia, N. H ., and editor of the ‘‘Lacona Evening Citizen,” that told this story: ‘‘Mr. E dson C. E astman , proprietor of a book store at Concord, N. H ., told me of meeting the late J oseph PULITZER in a stage coach on a day’s journey through the White Mountains, in the eighties. Mr. and Mrs. P ulitzer and Mr. and Mrs. E astman passed the time pleasantly. At the conclusion of the trip, Mr. E astman spoke of his enjoyment of the company of the New York publisher, but said there was one thing that troubled him. He had not learned how to pronounce the publisher’s name. Mr. P ulitzer replied: ‘What do you do when you wish to open a door?’ ‘Lift the latch and push it,’ replied Mr. E astman . ‘N o , pull it sir,’ replied the owner of the New York World and St. Louis Post-Dispatch. —S hining L ines agher , Miss Sunrise left on Saturday, December 14, for Oklahoma, where she will spend the holidays.
