Can anyone, after reading the fol-
lowing, plead that he is too poor to
take paper. that he cannot afford it?
1t costs less than half a cent day to
take weekly paper; less than dill
ligent hen would earn in month at
the market price of eggs; less than a
cigar a fortnight, and very cheap
one at that; less than the barber
would charge by the year to keep
ones hair trimmed; less than a good
sized Christmas turkey; less than an
energetic kitchen girl will waste in a
week. a penny day can be saved
in many a better way than stopping
your paper
