JUST. ONE MORE CHANCE TO AVIN 1
"PRIZES IN THE SKIDOO CONTEST
"." Tou ' are." writes S. T. Thomas to
the pussle editor; "you are" Mr. Thom
as wrltea from Astoria "you are," and
the hand that pens the lines seems to
tremble with rage, "you are no lady,
Mr. Thomas apparently has reason to
be angry at the pussle editor; indeed.
from what Mr. Thomas writes when
his passion permits him te become
coherent tt seems that he haa been the
victim of a serious fault; but, whlle-4t
Is-admitted that cause has been given
for a alsplay of passion, It Is emphati
cally oeniea . mat Mr. Thomas, even
when laboring under--the stress of great
excitement, . has the right to say the
pussle editor la no lady. Jlr. Thomas
seys he sent on last Sunday an answer
to the skldoe -problem, and that the
puxzle editor haa made no note of It,
"although," Mr, Thomaa continues, "it
was personally addressed by me to tha
pussle editor, and tt was- the. correct
solution to the problem. My- answer
waa that tha boy had -4 J- pennies. .- If
you are trying to give the prise to some
one else, all right, but I want to have
It made plain that I aent In that anawer
last Sunday. Twenty-three pennies. I
won't stand for any division of the first
prise." ' . . ,
All the pussle editor can aay la that
the answer eent by Mr. Thomas never
reached the office, or If It did. It waa
consumed by. the large dun. rat that
wtth unerring Instinct oonaumea the
best editorials, the most Interesting
news stories, and the most thrilling
communication Thla In addition: . If
Mr. Thomaa' answer Is right, there will
be no division of the first prise, even
if he doee say the pussle editor Is. no
lady. -..'.:
They All Say Twenty-Three.
Of course, about 8.000 other members
of The Journal's Skldoo club have sent
In St for anawer to the problem; In
deed, from today's mall these-are taken:

eral delivery, Portland. Indeed, some
of the "IS" members of the ekldoo elub
have put their answera tn verse, as wit
ness, the following from Earl Wilson.
Eatacada: ,. '
Father said: "Come here to me.
Hero are pennies twenty-three, t , .
lut Itiera in two poxes - lie aaii
"And my money's youra when
dead." t
So the little boy studied and found one
. short
And borrowed another from a thor-
oughbred snort. - - - - ..
Then he said,. -The penny you lent me
Has gone -ekldoo for you; twenty-three
- for me." ' " " --
The remarkable thing about the
Skldoo pussle la that so many dlf
ferent people have ao many different
answere to It, and that ao many find
it eaay while so many others Insist
that It la hard. For Instance, young
Harry Boot, eon of I Root, HT Seventh
street,- says: :
. "Your Skldoo problem la very , easy;
tne coin collector -had &: pennies."
James R, Bird, Kalnlor. says: : -j
"It took me a week to solve, your
proniem. wnich is , tne hardest nut I
ever tried to crack. I don't think more
than three or four of the boys got it
right. The man had IS pennies."
"Your pussle is fairly good as a
pastime." wrltea Roy L. Sim ma. Se
attle, "but It la eaay when you know
tne now. The boy bad tZD pennies."
- Mr. Simms explains how he got the
solution, which is most convincing, and
would be given here but It would hardly
be fair to him as 62$ may bs the right
answer.
This xs Different.
