puzzles that has not
hitherto been used. We do not mean new material in an old form, but a
new catch or form. If you cannot make the entire puzzle, write out the
suggestion. $5 is offered for the idea--the best one we receive,
provided that it is new. Competition open to anybody, any age. Send
suggestions, either by description or in a puzzle, not later than
December 1, 1895.

Special to all Readers.

It is desired to correct the records of the Order, especially the
addresses. We ask, therefore,

1. That Founders will send us their names and addresses on a postal
card, spelling out a first name, printing all In English capitals, and
adding the word "Founder." Use simply the sign "A."

2. That all members will do the same, except that they will not use the
word Founder. Remember that you remain a Knight or Lady of the Order
even if, since becoming such, you have passed your eighteenth birthday.

3. That persons over eighteen, not now members, who wish our Order well,
will send us names and addresses, and receive a Patron Patent. Use
simply the letter "D."

4. That members send us names and addresses of friends whom they wish
Patents for; say whether such friends are over or under eighteen.

If you wish to distribute Round Table Prospectuses, make the request on
a separate postal card from the one on which you ask for a new Patent.
Only one person may accept this offer in one town or neighborhood. In
applying say how many Prospectuses you can place, whom you intend to
give them to, what are your facilities for giving them out, and what
prize you seek. The prizes are: Bound volumes of HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE
for 1893 or 1894; gold badges of the Order; packet of fifty
visiting-cards bearing your name, with the plate for future use; rubber
stamps bearing your name and address; pencils resembling a common nail;
and silver badges of the Order.

These Prospectuses must not be thrown into front yards, nor given out
three or four to a family. They must be given each to a different
family, and those families known by you to be such as are likely to be
interested in them. There may be delay at times. If you do not receive a
prompt response to your request, do _not_ write a second time. A
response will reach you as soon as possible.
