THE CHANCE OF A LIFETIME
9 m. 1 i (I i d
EAD this Stor
of a very lucky
Young Man.
who won an in
come tor life for
one moment's
Some months ago. It will bo remem
bered, we advertised v.ldely for a name
tor the magazine we were about to
publish.-It was a little thing- to' give,
but much to receive. A moment's
thought, perhaps, would do It, yet
the result wtsef such Importance to
us that we prepared to award as a
prize nothing more nor less than Ave
dollars a week for life, or air annuity
of two hundred and llfty dollars. This
offer, when first brought to the pub
lic's attention through the columns of
all leading papers in the country, was
received with considerable incredulity.
The man at your right sneered, while
the one to your left smiled. Neither
said. "It's straight enough", both said,
"Better leave It alone." That was be
r cause 'they did not know our way of
doing things. A trifle unusual, per
haps, but success today means Just
that, with the additional trait of tak
ing the situation boldly by the throat
Thoe, 'however, who entered tho
contest were courteous enough to give
us the benefit of their doubt, one of
them giving us something. else besides,
a little legend of scarce half a dozen
words which was just what we wanted.
The balance rt that man's bank book
today foots us to a sum larger by two
hundred and nAy dollars than It did
five months ago, a difference that came
about Saturday, May B. when our rep
resentative called on this man, Mr.
?.?r J- Mden. at his home in
Phillipsburg, New Jersey, and pre
sented him with a certified check for
the, above amount.
The ingenuity of man is concededly
well nlrh Infinite, but probably never
more m than when he deliberately
tries to put something into a name.
There were names sent us that would
have graced the title page of a queen's
memoir, and there were, others that
would sac killed a "-enny-dreadful"
ere It had left the rress. "Some took
extensive liberties with our firm name,
while others took still'.gr.eater liberties
with the English language as ,Dr.
Johnson conceived It The' words
monthly7' andtV'magazlne" "did. yeo
man service tOthelr last strawsome
of the combinations into which they,
were worked being fearfully and won-'
derfully i&tfe. 'Yet, apart,from these,
tatd decidedly In the majority, were a
long list of n&mevtmit sounded pos
sible In - every . respect It was ovi-.
I dently- an embarrassment of riches. ,
as is now erviaent, "rue Brown isoox
of Boston" was Mr. Madden' s contrl-
button, to the cbntes't We believe the
nime will find tho same favor with
sup subscribers aslt has With us. It
Is. alliterative, which Is something, It
is associated with a conservative, thorough-going
and durable color, which Is
more. It Is democratically unpreten-
f tlous, which Is most "Like brown
bread, Mr. Madden suggested, "it can
be .made wholesome for the entire x
family." This will be our aim. An
"unbolten, whole-grained product put
forth In the endeavor to meet the
average person's desire for reading
that Is worth while.

In the belief that our readers may
care to know something further of Mr.
Madden, -we -ould say that our repre
sentative found In him a young man
of twenty-seven, with a will to do and
a body to enduce that--foreshadow a
llbaral longevity for the enjoyment of
his good fortune. With the exception
of a year away from home teaching
school he 'has spent his life In Phllllps
burg, a seml-actlve though non
changeable, town ot, some ten thou
sand souls, lying among the cultl
"ra'ted? hills of Western New" Jersey,
where they -slope gently down to meet
the wAters of the' Delaware. '
Mr. Madden In speaking of how ho
chose the name he sent In said: "As
I remember. It came In a second the
day after I saw your advertisement In
ithe New York World I jotted it down
f and sent it in. .Then I forgot all about
it until I received your letter. That,
.you know, is about' the way sUcn
things go."
AFFIDAVIT.
State of New Jersey,
County of Warren, ss. .
.Arthur W. Madden, of full age, being .
,duly sworn according to law, on his
oath, salth:
. - I am twenty-seven years of age, and
am now and have been, a resident of
the town of Phillipsburg, ln'the County
of Warren and State of New Jersey,
with the exception of about a year
spent In the -State of Connecticut dur
ing jny childhood. . . . . '
About the month of February, 1900,
I read In the New York World an hd
vertisemept of The Bernard-Richards
Company, offering a prize In connec
tion with a npw magazine which they
were about to publish. In answer to
my response I received a circular let
ter In which The Bernard-Richards
Company, Limited, offered five dollars
a week for life, or an annuity 'of two
hundred and fifty dollars, to the per
son suggesting 'the most appropriate
name for this publication, reaulrlng
that each competitor should send with
his choice of name one year's advance
subscription, amounting to the sum of
one dollar. I complied with the condi
tion and sent In as my choice the
.name, "The Brown Book of Boston,"
and received a receipt, dated March
10 lpQQ for the one year's advance
subscription.
On April 28, 1300, I received a letter
from the- company stating that "Tho
Committee find that yours was the
most appropriate name sent in and
have awarded you the annuity for
life." In the same letter I was re
quested to Inform the compiny wheth
er I wished the award In the fo'rm of
weekly payments of five dollars or In
the fonm of an annuity of two hundred
and fifty dollars. On the same day I
replied to the company's letter, stating
that I preferred the annuity of two
hundred and fifty dollars.
On May 2, 1W, I was notified by the
'company that their representative
would call on mant Phillipsburg, N. J.,
on the then fpllowlng. Friday or Sat
urday, with a- certified check of two
hundred -and fifty dollars.
Today, Saturday May 5, 1900, Mr.
AYtfrur W. Tarbcll, representative of
the Bernard-Richards Company, Lim
ited, called upon me here at Phillips
burg, N. J., and handed me a certified
check of the company on the Federal
Trust Company, of Boston, Mass.,
dated May 2, 1900, and made payable
to my order, for the amount of two
hundred and fifty dollars, being the
first year's payment on the annuity
awarded to me as above stated.
Prior to the appearance of the said
advertisement In the New York World,
about February, 1900, I had no knowl-edgo-of
the existence or the Object of
tho Bernard-Richards Company, Lim
ited, and since then I , have had no
dealings with said company except as
above -stated.

1300 A YEAR FOR LIFE, but also to win a large amount of ready cash .WE WANT YOU TO READ THIS OVER VERY
CAREFULLY, for IT DOES NOT COST" YOU ONE CENT. One of these contosts Is; we believe, a very hard one: In
fact .so hard that it; cannot be solved ip a mlnuto, nor an hour, but la going to tdx your brains and take considerable ot
your time. However, do not givo It up. for it can be solved and jqst 'think of the reward. WE WILL GIVE $2000 IN
CASH FOR THE CORRECT ANSWER. In the block square to the left we havo printed IS jumbled letters which we want
you to try and arrange. These jumbled letters when properly arranged will spell the names of three large cities In the

these three cities the letters can only be. used as many times as they appear, and no letter can be used which does not
appear. When you have found the three correct names you will have used every letter in the 16 as many times as It
appears. If you cannot find the threo oorrect names, but find, only two, you will receive a special prize worth $1. Re
membor even If you find only two correct names you will havo the same chance to win the Income for life or one of
the big cash prizes mentioned In the sesond half of this advertisement. IF YOU SEND IN ."OUR ANSWER AT

ing the .three 'names has been sealed and deposited with a leading Safe Deposit Company in Boston, and will not be opened until the day after tha

correct answer being received, we will request five parties who have answers I this advertisement to act as a commlttcn to award tho cash pro rata.
They will be invited to come to Boston at our expense and be our guests while in this, city. Wo take this unusual method of eeleotlng a committee to
