OUR PROSPECTUS
FOR 1874

The beautiful Snow which we see
In print so often just now-and see it on
\ The ground, also-reminds US, as well as
others, that winter and January are ap-
preaching with long steps; and when we
hre reminded of January, it reminds us
that we have many little bills and some
large ones, to face at that time, and in
the midst of horrid panic, too Bills
that must be paid at all hazards. and we
must double and twist ourselves into
some sort of shape to do it. But when
we look over our subscription book
and see how much is due US at that time
I'VE are not inclined to feel down hearted
hnd again, a new volume commences
with the new year. We wonder how
many will come down with the stamps
lin advance for another year. We hope
every man will volunteer to do it. We
have not, heretofore made any discrimin-
alton between those who have paid in
advance and those who have paid at the
end of the year. This is hardly fair.
After this year our terms will be $500
in advance. If pot paid until the end
of the year we shall invariably insist on
4 having a little interest money, and charge
4 1925. 1t seems to us no one should
find any fault with this. As a further
inducement, we make the following offer
which we think all will say is liberal
enough. To all qoho WiU pay all arrears
and pay IN adoooce for neat gear, and
tacenty- fUe cents extra, aOe qoiH send for
one gear, the Monitor and the qOelZ-knoac,a
monthly paper printed at Brattleboro,-
THE HOUSEHOLD. Thus, for
1926 you will get, besides the Monitor,
one of the largest and best family papers
in the country. 1t is a "a page paper,
pages 10 IL by Is inchcs-20 pages
of which are filled with excellent read
ing matter, and select piece of music in
each number To those who are moi
acquainted with the paper, we will send
a sample copy, on application. The sub
scription price of THE Household is 81
and all who have read it pronounce il
a cheap paper, at that. Try it, with
ours, both, remember, for 1925, and set
if you ever had as much reading for 81
small amount of money.
In October we offered an inducemen
to new notwithstanding the pape
the rest of this year free to all who sub
scribed for next year. One hundred an(
fifty have already accepted that offer
and more are coming almost every day
so that we now have list larger thai
ever before, one nearly equal to the ole
Independent Standard. All we wan
now to set US nicely up on feet i
what is due us, and advance paymen
for next year. We are as willing al
other folks, to have our paper held VI
beside of, read and compared with othe
papers. We have no space for any brag
but are willing our readers should b
their own judges.

THOMAS MAST.

The caricaturist, lectured at Mu-
sic Hall, Tuesday evening, in Redpath's
Lyceum course, and one of the largest
audience of the season greeted him. The
.'lecture' consisted of a series of crayon
sketches, drawn in sight of the audience,
upon large sheets of paper, and intro
duced with few words by Mr.. Mast.
Opening with the definition of man, as
the animal that laughs, the artist drew
a picture of him, beginning with his
shirt collar and then making his vest,
coat, pants and boots in the order named,
every separate article of the dress seem
ing instinct with mirth before the crayon
| touched the face, and when the latter
was reached every line told its story,
and the audience burst into sympathetic
laughter long before the picture was
finished. Next the artist placed by the
side of ssthe animal that laughs pic
ture of the 'sserious ANIMAL" with the
remark that for the most unrufaed
gravity the performing monkey was
without rival. 1.-THE critical English
man who always thinks we arc serious"
was next delineated with the British
lion by his side, and the next instant
there appeared the conventional, jolly
'Uncle Sam with the American eagle
at his side, peacefully chewing the lions
tail, while, by a dexterous movement of
the crayon, that animals face suddenly
took on the appearance of one suffering
severe pain. Mr.. Mast quoted num-
Der of journalistic items to show that
there is growing excess of the nat
ional propensity to joke, even the
gravest subject furnishing food for mirth
Half score of other pictures were drawn
by his facile fingers, the work being
done so quickly that it seemed as if tn,
artist had a crayon on every finger ant
even in the edges Of his coat, so tina
every movement he made brought out
line on the paper that told towards tn
general effect. The last picture exhib
tied a cradle with Uncle Sam in tn
act of putting in its little bed an infan
, whose face bore strong resemblance t
l the artist. That everybody enjoyed tn
entertainment was shown by the fac
that everybody remained till the close
instead ct rushing out "to catch car.
