sfully compete, you merely throw the
proof in the waste basket. Better try in the contest. You risk nothing.

By-the-way, do you remember the spirited illustrations of Mrs.
Roosevelt's _Heroes of America_ published last summer? They were the
professional work of Mr. F. C. Yohn, who, as an aspiring young man, and
then living in Indianapolis, tried in one of our pen-drawing contests,
winning a first prize.

How Did the Gypsy Know?

Years ago an old gypsy called on my grandmother and wanted to tell
her fortune. My grandmother didn't believe the gypsy's power to
tell of future events. But the gypsy persisted. Finally,
grandmother declared she had no money with which to pay her.
"Yes," said the old gypsy, "you have five dollars hid in that old
clock."

Well, my grandmother consented at this exhibition of the gypsy's
supernatural powers. And then the gypsy told her, among other
things, that she would have great trouble, leave Georgia, and go
away down South, and be left a widow, and then years after go back
to Georgia. Now, the strange part about this is that the gypsy's
prophecy was literally true. My grandmother, sure enough, went
away down on the Gulf coast, and her husband died soon after of
paralysis, and now, seven years after he died, she is on her way
back to Georgia. How did the gypsy know?

Prices of the Order's Badges.

The new badges are an exact reproduction of the rose, in the centre of
which is claimed to be the original "round table" of King Arthur. You
will find a picture of the top of this table on the back of the 1896
Prospectus, and the centre of it at the bottom of the Patent. The prices
of the badges are: Pansy leaves or the rose, in silver, 10 cents--that
is, 8 cents for the badge and 2 cents for postage; of the rose, in gold,
85 cents, with nothing added for postage. All are in the form of stick
pins. Members are not required to purchase badges. We offer the silver
rose as payment for giving to your friends, whom you are sure will
appreciate them, fifteen Round Table circulars. The offer is open to all
members.
