The reward for finding the missing words will be doubled in the next contest, $4 being awarded, $2 for the Semi-Weekly and $2 for the Daily.

Rockpile, of the Ripsnorter, decides to engage in syndicate writing, thus giving to the world the advantage of his talent now limited to Brook and vicinity. We belive that all who know Orie will agree that he Is the greatest joke(r) of the age since the demise of Twain.
