This week the Journal is
innovating a new contest,
open to one and all, and one
we hope will be both plea
sant and profitable. It is the
“Clip and Chuckle Contest"
and all there is to it is to clip
or copy five lines taken from
different parts of the paper
and combine them into
something readable and cle
ver. It is surprising how you
can take a line here and there
and make it sound when read
together.

gila monster, but with beady
pink eyes. It had small stubs

body resembled that of a
snake fully two feet in length.
