St. Louis, Missouri Toronto, Canada —e Cruelty to Animals I N Baltimore not long ago the doctors secured an intelligent baby ape and tried to bring it up like a human being. This ape came of exceptionally intelli- gent parents, and by taking him early the doctors hoped to make an infant phenomenon of him. It seems too bad to try and make a man out of a monkey. We have made monkeys out of men for some time, but to reverse the process is a form of cruelty of which we cannot approve. When this monkey grows up he will probably be the victim of our school system; that is to say, he can only play at certain hours under the supervision of authority. If he gets sick the doctor will be called in to prescribe from an obsolete language and according to a pharmacopeeia that no human intellect can fathom. Un- less this particular monkey has in- herited money or acquires the faculty of stealing it he won't be able to earn a decent living without sacrificing his self-respect. And finally if he ever should become President of the United States, how much ignominy might at- tach itself to his very name! Life’s Short Story Contest First Prize $1000 Second Prize 500 Third Prize 250 (OW short can a short story be and yet be a short story? Lire would like to know. So would every writer, and, therefore, all writers are invited to join with Live in making a practical test. Lire invites contributions of original short stories. For the best ones re- ceived before noon of October 4, tot it will award three prizes—$1,000, $300 and §. CONDITIONS No story must exceed fifteen hundred words in length. There is no restriction placed upon the kind of story to be submitted. It may be humorous or tragic; but jokes, anecdotes, epigrams or verses do not come within the scope of the contest. All_manuscripts which are accepted for publication in Lire will be paid for at the rate of ten cents a word for every word under fifteen hundred words which the author does not write, To illustrate : if the accepted story is one hundred words in length, then the author will receive $140, or ten cents a word for the fourteen hundred words which he did not write. For what he does write he receives no pay. If, on the other hand, the accepted story is fourteen hundred and ninety-nine words in length, the author will receive Chateau aurier Offawa-@nada E de lare Hotel of the Dominion.

Handsomely illustrated booklet of Ottawa and the Chateau Laurier sent tree on application to Desk C. FOWNE r-GLo - There’s nothing novel or queer about Fownes gloves. In the main they are just such handsome, substantial articles as substantial peo- ple prefer to wear. Some of the styles are just radical enough to please the less sober minded. But always within the bounds of good taste. Their chief claim on your consideration is their de- pendability. They are always good gloves—always have been —and always will be. ten cents. This story, however, will stand an equal chance of winning the prize with one which is very much shorter (say, one hundred words), as exch story will be judged strictly on its merits as a story The stories will be published in Lire as soon as possible after they are ac- cepted, and will be paid for on accept- ance upon the basis which has just been defined. When they have all been pub- lished, then the final awarding of the $1,750 in prizes will be made in the following manner: The Editors of Lire will first select, out of all the storics published, the twelve which are, in their judgment, the best. The authors of these twelve stories will be asked to become judges of the whole contest, which will then include all the stories published. These twelve authors will decide which are the best thrce stories, in the order of their merit, to be awarded the prizes. In case, for any reason, any one or more of these twelve authors should be unable to act as judge, then the contest will be decided by the rest. Each of the judges will, of course, if he so wishes, vote for his own story first, so that the final result may probably be determined by the combined second, third and fourth choices of all the judges. This, however, will not affect the result. In case of a division among the judges, the Editors of Lire will cast the deciding vote. The final award will be announced as carly as possible after the last story has been published in Lire. Of this there will be due notice. Manuscripts will be accepted from now on as fast as they can be read and passed upon. In every case they should be addressed, Fejecti care i tions, | sible | io kee send desires violate right t is still ageto Its ur make ical m bottle comicbooks.com
