Many youngsters can name ,more world masterpieces and the artists than most of us know exist. One little lady named thirty .pictures and the artists of each correctly in fifty seconds as. rapidly lis they could be presented' to her. Many others tire equally adept. Another youngster underwent an operation at the local hospital and was busy the next day, when the doctor Called,; learning the pictures strewn over her hospital bed. Two or three children from one family have participated ill the contest in some cases, indicating i keen appreciation for the good that can be accomplished, by Ixith parents and teachers. : ' ' "' Winners-. will not be picked easily because of the expert ability of so ninny of the children, and judges have taken care to sue that all papers arc mimliered, not signed, so that everv rhnnrp of iiiirnn.trioiii niiiiwlirp will lip plimin. iited. So close are the contestants that additional prizes have been sought for second places in various grades so that proper reward will be available to the children for their excellent work. , The business, professional, and other public spirited men and organizations which have offered the prizes for this contest should take a great deal of pride in the part they arc playing and should feel complimented that they have the privilege. If they will but investigate the work that lias been done and become acquainted with the interest and enthusiasm of the children that the contest has stim ulated, their prizes will be offered every year and will be come a standing award. It is a privilege that should be guarded jealously guarded . localise it is an aid to the development and advancement of children that will mean much in future years.

It ticked Us way Into tho Citpltol leloirrapli office and was duo to be delivered nt Nye's spite assigned to him tentatively until Ihc other senators decided whether he really was one of them or not In the Kenate. Office HuiJdlnsr. Now, the Capitol telegraph office -mtinuKcmcnt had put on, us mes sengers, u short time previously, a quarlet of jrlrls. aged 17 or J S, experience having shown boys, so tire management said, to he less de pendable than girls, and bo met hues impudent, which doesn't go down very well with statesmen. To one of these damsels Nye's message wttfl entrusted, to he rushed to him under forced draft. OYratd T'. Nye is a very young looking tiian. He realty is only Hit ami he'd pass for a decade less than that. 'Most senators are ad vanced considerably farther In Oio vale of years than Nyo Is, und miles farther than he looks. In short, he by no means plays up. in appearance to his senatorial part. In rushed the messenger girl. 'Telegram for Senator Nye," she announced, through her gum. "Olve It here,', quoth the North Dakolun, extending his hand. "I'm Senator Nye." The girl gave htm a long, plerce Ing look. Then, "If you're a senator," she said, "I'm Vice President Dawes." "At that," admitted Nye, whose chances of ndmissiou to the ranks of tin snlons seemed pretty poor just then, "you may be right." 1 UfJfJEL T STILL QUND PKTKUHIll.'JtG. Vu. (AP) O.ne of the grntct pieces of battlefield engineering of the flvll war has been brought to light with th re opening- of the main tunnel by which the famous mine under thy Confederate works near Petersburg was placed. Kxploslon of the mine caused the "liuttle of ,tho Craler tu go down in history as the mast tragic of that wur. Much of its timber still Ih sound. i he tunnel is declared to he a mod el of nhoring. It is planned lo muke of It u shrine to America!!' ingenuity ami resourcefulness. Winding lln narrow way thirty. feet underground, the tunnel ex-. lends a distance of B10 feet from! behind what was General Grant's front 'line to the crater itself. Sev- . I nnmlli.l ..ml tmrnr'ttrlifllllll shorter tunnels connect with it. Finally the passageway enters a large underground room, believed to have been u Confederate bomb proof dugout. It was this gallery, us It was called by the Pennsylvania miners of Colonel pleasanCs relmeM who dug It. In thirty days, thai afforded the means of laying the mines which were Intended to clear the obstruction to Grunt's march on Itiehmnnd. In the k- ecess of Col. I'leasant's plan, which at first described a "claptrap und non sense," the North had place! its faith for un immediate ending ot t he war. Federal troops bad been drilled ror.n month and Grant had con centrated fir,flu0 troops In the ad jacent valley for the charge that was to rollow the explosion at 3:3ti a. m. or .Inly 30, 1S114, which wrecked Klliott's salient and clear ed the way to the capital of the Confederacy. Many sections of the passage wtiy have now been found to be In place just as originally built. Here and there were . discovered evi dences of the men, of tho 4 xth Pennsylvania Infantry who dug I them. Whether the paraUft gal lerles were duff by the men under tiencrni ipn in an cuun iu iuc;ue the Federals working underground or by the same men who dug their way 61ft feet to the cruler, remains nndertermined. Through Col. Pleusanl'rf tunnel 4000 pounds of expjosives were placed under the Confederate works. While Grant's army wait - fed the fuse, was lit. Alter an hour's wait It wn round necessary to en ter the tunnel and relight, It half way up. A few minutes later came the explosion which Bent 300 Con federates to death, caused confu sion and delay to the waiting Fed eral troops, and paved the way for the rush of General Meade's men to their destruction. A. crossfire from Confederate batteries placed ' ndvuhlageously after it had been learned that their position was being undermined. Imet the Federals as they charged I through the opening made, by the i explosion. It was two hours be fore Meade penetmted the thin Gray line. Ity that time Mahone had come up with bis Petersburg brigade, and the celebrated "Crater Charge" drove the enemy beyond the cra ter, leaving behind more than nooo Fnion dead. The hope of General Circuit for the Immediate capture of Ulchmond was wrecked.
