About rt o'clock the yearnlnirs of the inner man must have become peremptory, for he came bounding up the street with his school - bag slung over his shoulder. It was interesting to note that our youngest winner is still in the short -trousers class. "You won the $100 in the Limerick contest!" hie mother, who is Mrs, Percy Foster, called out from the porch. "Get!" was the eiprsslve rejoinder. Then an incredulous, "Honest?" When the young man was assured i-o one was trying to play a joke on hl:n he limbered up and confided plans for this possible emergency. "doing to gt a bicycle" he con fided.

"Only Harry wns beginning to think that he'd have to get a nw brake for his old bicycle. He and his father have had limerickltis ever alnce the first. I alwnya know when they have been nt it again. They sfesl my po.stage stamps." Mr. Foster, senior, owned up that he was a member of the limerick firm which sent out two last lines virtually every evening. "Maybe Harry will turn over the old bicycle to hW father now," Mir Foster said. "Sort of as a consolation prize, you kno."
