A Merry Christmas to All.
The Tribune's Junior Kilueiitlonnl
Contest, which has kept the girls and
boys of Northeastern Pennsylvania
busy for the past seven weeks, came
lo an end on Saturday afternoon a I "1
o'clock. During these seven weeks the
little folks have been poring over dlc
tlonarles and spelling hooks, and try
ing their best to form' the most words
out of the letters In "The Home Pa
per." Jluch surprise has been ex
pressed at the large number of words
tlicse nhotit KiO rontnlurd more limn
MO words. livery Hut containing li"t
imnilirr of words was gone ovrr wire
fully ami tho list jmt aside for futino
refcrente. If any one thinks a mls
liiko has been made In their list, or It
should have had more correct worde,
they can secure It by applying to the
Contest Kdltor, before noon on Tues
day. After that time all lists will bo
put away to save room.
Two brothers In the contest submit
ted lists containing the same words,
one coming In a day ahead of the
other. Thu first one left one letter off
of the end of a word and this little
mistake cost him $1.50.
How Ties Were Decided.
Karly In the contest It was realized
that It was possible there would be a
number of "ties" on account of the
limited number of words thut could be
made out of the phrase, "The Homo
Paper." As each list was received It
was placed In an envelope that 'had
boon numbered previously, and these
numbered envelopes were the deciding
factors whentwoormorellstHcontnlnrd
the same number of words. Four con
testants each got 3:11 words, two 320,
two ?M, two niT. and two S21. The pre
caution was therefore well taken.
The following lists were .received
Saturday:

that could bo found and In many cases
parents have been gratified with The
Tribune's plan on account of its edu
cational value.
Miss Jessie A. Tilllnghast, of Fae
toryvllle, Pa., has the honor of being
the iDiie to win the first prize of $20.00
in gold.
Miss Jtssle A. Leach, of Col Olive
Htreet, Scranton, is second with only
one word less than Miss Tilllnghast,
and thereby secures a Christmas pres
ent from The Tribune of $10.00 in gold.
Ciould Hunter, who resides at the
Hotel Nash, this city, is third, also
hy one word, and his holidays will bo
made happier by the possession of $3
in gold as a result.
In all, there arc fourteen boys and
M- girls who have won Christmas
pieseuts in accordance with the rules
governing the contest, and qf that
number fifteen of (be prizes go to
S-rantonUns and five to winners who
live outside Its precincts.
The first pri.o, which is won by Miss
Tilllnghast, of" Facloryvllle, and the
llfth, belonging to William Johns, of
Ynndllng. are the enly two large prizes
to go outside the city,
Miss Jeshlo A. Tilllnghast Is but 12
years uld. Her list was received at
The Trlbue oflice on Dec. fl, and con
tained 372 words In its original form.
It was found that there were 37 words
that ha'd no right In the list and when
these were crushed out .Miss Jessie hud
S35 correct words remaining. As no
other list had more or as many correct
words tin" little maid from Wyoming
county wins a great, big, shining, gol
flcu double eagle fur 'Iut Christmas
Flocking.
Jllss Jessie A. Leach, who Is second,
scut In her list of words on Nov. fi. It
comprised a total of .'It I words when,
It was retelved. 'IV 11 of tho words had
Fonie fault which necessitated their
rejection and the remaining 3"JI were
unbeaten until Miss Tillinghast's list
came along more than a month later.
Miss Leach's list had fewer words
erased than any list that was read. If
pho had waited a few days longer and
found only one muro word. She would
have been llrst: but tho prize shu has
won Is wull worth having and tlieru
nre many children In this city who
would bo pleased to trado places with
her.
Prefixes and Suffixes.
One. of tliu most notable causes of u
reduction of lists came about through
tho erusuro of prefixes, sulllxes and
contractions. These nro not complete
words. Among tho many that were
found wero these: Apo, o'er, ep, or,
h.unio, heiua, hemato, hcnio, heptu,
latero, inula, o'er, oma, petro, prue,
pre, promo, tor, th, therino, thro', and
no on, Theso incomplete prefixes, suf
JI.mh and contractions met an untime
ly end. Soniu lists that had originally
more than 400 words wero padded out
In this wuy to a great extent and tho
reduction necessary under tho rules
made them usclubs as competltlors.
Some misunderstandings In regard to
thu rules arose, as Is sometimes tho
case. Duo hoy bunded In a list of
more than n.SOO words, which, when
half a day had been spent In editing
it, yielded the total of 165 that wero
rorrect. Jt this young man had
dropped u postal to tho Contebt Kdltor
asking for an expluuutioii of tho rules,
lui would have been saved u week's
wieless labor.
In ull 278 lists were received. Of
