retire from society, for the face and
hands so treated turn black. At the end

BABY CONTEST.

Here is the proposition and the
rules governing the contest:
There is a handsome $25.00
solid gold locket with diamond
setting and solid gold chain, on
display at the Palace Jewelry
store, to be given away Decem
ber 24th, 1904, to the baby boy
i or girl under two years of age,
who wins the highest number of
votes as the prettiest and sweet
est baby. Now the baby that is
not pretty is surely sweet, and
if the wee tot be a little cross at
times, beauty must offset this
badness. Fond parents at least
are expected to think their ba
bies are both sweet and beauti
i ful, and so they do. But to set
! tie once for all the claims of the
under two, and put at rest this
I rivalry of mothers and fathers,
