It is far removed from conceit or self-esteem, yet it causes one’s own persomality to over- shedow everything else.

First, many of you chil- dren will wonder why, dur- ing the past few weeks, some of your books have been somewhat tardy in arriving. Let it be pointed out that it is due prineiPally to the stormy weather that has been sweeping the entire Pa- cific Coast for a month past, which has delayed trains and other means of traffie to such an extent that traffic is-¢ blockaded everywhere be- tween San Francisco and the principal Eastern cities. Indeed, just at the present time an immense shipment of EIGHT THOUSAND of the beautiful books that THE SUNDAY CALL is now giv- ing away as prizes are bloek- aded somewhere between here and the Rocky Moun- tains and consequently can- not arrive for almost two weeks yet. However, these EIGHT THOUSAND BOOKS, or at least a goodly part of them, will be secured in time to fill the list of ONE HUN- DRED AND FIFTY PRIZE WINNERS, in this, the first contest of the Seventh Series and every week thereafter. It is for that reason that some twenty copies of “The and “The Magic Nuts” have not been delivered, notwith- standing the whole coast has- been scoured for stray books to fill these orders, and consequently the little chil- dren who have chosen either of the above titles will have to be patient for a week or two. The Puzzle Editor as- sures them, however, that their orders will be filled first as soon as the EIGHT THOUSAND BOOKS arrive. And to those who are well on their way toward the eol- lection of a complete library the Puzzle Editor wants to give further assurance that this new consignment are all of the same edition of beau- tifal colored landseape books so that none of their series will be broken. And now, BEST WISHES TO-THE ARDENT WORK- . ERS in the new series.
