Most Unique Contesf of the Age — $200.00 Paid for Correct Lists 

 made by Supplying Missing Letters in Places of Stars — No 

 Lottery — Popular Plan of Education — Read All the Particulars. 



In the United States four times as ranch money is expended for education as for the military. Brain is 

 better than brawn. By our educational facilities we have become a great nation. We, the publishers of Woman's 

 World and Jenness Miller Monthly, have done much toward the cause of education in many ways, but now 

 we offer you an opportunity to display your knowledge and receive most generous payment for a little study. 

 The object of this contest is to give an impetus to many dormant minds to awaken and think ; also we expect by this 

 competition of brains to extend the circulation of Woman's World and Jenness Miller Monthly to such a 

 size that we shall be able to charge double the present rate for advertising in our columns. By this plan of increasing 

 the number of subscriptions and receiving more money from advertisers of soaps, pianos, medicines, books, baking 

 powders, jewelry, etc., we shall add $50,000 a year to our income, and with this mathematical deduction before us 

 we have decided to operate this most remarkable " missing letters " contest. ; 



HERE'S WHAT YOU ARE TO DO. 



There are thirty words in this schedule, from each of which letters have been omitted and their places have 

 been supplied by stars. To fill in the blank spaces and get the names properly you must have some knowledge 

 of geography and history. We want you to spell out as many words as you can, then send to us with 25 cents to 

 pay for a three months' subscription to Woman's World. For correct lists we shall give $200.00 in cash. 

 If more than one person sends a full, correct list, the money will be awarded to the fifty best lists in appearance. Also, 

 if your list contains twenty or more correct words, we shall send you a beautiful Egjeria Diamond Scarf Pin (for 

 lady or gentleman), the regular price of which is $3.25. Therefore, by sending your list, you are positively certain of 

 the $2.25 prize, and by being careful to send a correct list you have an opportunity of the $200.00 cash award. 

 The distance that you may live from New York makes no difference. All have equal opportunity for winning. 



PRIZES WILL BE SENT PROMPTLY. 



Prizes will he honestly awarded and promptly sent. We publish the list of words to be studied out.

In sending your list of words, mention whether you want prize money sent by bank draft, money order 

 or registered mail; we will send any way that winners require. The Egeria Diamond is a perfect imitation of a 

 Real Diamond of large size. We defy experts to distinguish it from real except by microscopic test. In every re- 

 spect it serves the purpose of Genuine Diamond of Purest Quality. It is artistically mounted in a fine gold- 

 plated pin, warranted to wear forever. This piece of jewelry will make a most desirable gift to a friend if you do not 

 need it yourself. At present our supply of these gifts is limited, and if they are all gone when your set of answers comes 

 in, we snail send you $2.25 in money instead of the Scarf or Shawl Pin, so you shall either receive the piece 

 of jewelry or the equivalent in cash, in addition to your participative interest in the $200.00 cash prize. This 

 entire offer is an honest one, made by a responsible publishing house. We refer to mercantile agencies and 

 any hank in New York. We will promptly refund money to you if you are dissatisfied. What more can we do ? Now 

 study, and exchange slight brain work for cash. With your list of answers send 25 cents to pay for three months' 

 subscription to our great family magazine. Woman's World. If you have already subscribed, mention that 

 fact in your letter, and we will extend your subscription from th° time the present one expires. To avoid loss in 

 sending silver, wrap money very carefully in paper before inclosing in your letter. Address:
