rII.E SUN.
ISS:5,
y l!W YORK,

More people have read THE Sun during
tho year just now passing than ever before
since it was first printed. No other news
paper published OF this side OF he earth
has been bought and read III amy year 10y
snnany men and women.
We arc credibly informed that people
buy, rcau and like The Sun for the follow
ing reasons, among others:
Because its news columns present i'll nj
trrctiVe form and with the greatest posi-
bic accuracy whatever has interest for
humankind the events, tho deeds and
nlSdeedS, the wisdom, the philosophy, the
notable folly, the solid sense, the improv-
ing nonsense-an tho of the busiest
world at present revolving i'll space.
Because people have lcorncd that i'll its
remarks concerning persons and affairs
TIE Sun makes Il practice of telling them
three hundred and siXty-fvc days in the
year, before election as we'll as after, about
the whales as we'll as about the small fish,
in the face Of dissent rs plainly and fear
iessly as when supported by general APP
prevail. The Sun has absolutely no pur-
poses to serve, save The Information of its
readers and the furtflerancc Of the common
good.
Because it is everybody IS newspaper. no
man is so humble that THE Sun is ii!uiiier-
cnt to his W cltare and his rights. NO man
is so rich that it can allow inj justice to be
dono him. No man, no association OF men,
is powerful enough to be exempt form the
strict application Of its principles of right
and wrong.
because in politics, il has fought for II
dozen wears, without intcrmiSSOn and
sometimes almost alone a,nong ncwspa-
perS, the fight that has resulted in the re-
cent overwhelming popular verdict against
Robesonism and for honest government.
No matter what party is in power, THE
SUN stands and will continue to stand like
| Il rock for tho interests oi'thereoplc against
tho ambition of bosses, the cnrrOach-
ments of monopolists and the dishonest
schemes ofpublic robbers.
All this is what wcarc told almost by our
friends. One man holds that THE Sun is
the best rely, 10 us newspaper ever published,
because its Christianity is undiiuted with
| cant. Another holds that 1T is the best
republican newspaper printed, because il
has already whipped half of the raScais out
Ofthat party, and is proceeding against tlir
Othcr half with undinniShcd VigOr.
third bc}vcS to be the best nfaga zine of
gene raj literature in existence, because its
readers miss nothing worthy Of notice that
is current in the world of thought. so every
friend OF TIE Sun DISCOVERIES one of its
many sides that appeals with particular
force to his, individual liking.
lfyou already known THE Sun, You vii!
observe that in 1855 it is Il little better than
ever before. IF you do not already know
The SUN, You will find it to be II mirror Of
all human activity, Il Storehcuse Of the
choicest prducts of common sense and
| imagination, manstay for the cause Of
| hon est government, u sentinel for genuine
.JcifcrSOnian Democracy, Il ScoUr%c for
wicllcdncSS of every species, and an I'M
commonly good ilvcstnicn! for the coming
wear.

MIR. AND MRS. SPOOPENDYKE.

ssAnd SO, my DEAR" observed Mrs.
Spoopendyke, as she and her husband
reached their room, and she stepped
before the glass to arrange her crimps,
ssand so, my dear, that was the iegis-
lature. was it? Whoever expected
that 7 should ever see Il live legisla-
ture?"
s.You didn't think it was going to be
q dead one, did you 2" growled Mr..
Spoopendyke, who had just discovered
a rip in the sleeve Of his overcoat;
s.you don't think I brought you up
here at an enormous sacrifice of COM
fort and cash Just to show you a stuffed
legislature, do your
N-n-n-no," faltered Mrs. Spoopen-
dyke; 81 didn't think it was exact. !,
that. Only 1 wanted to know what it
was about, chats ALL"
"Well, it was about time you Go'
out, if that's ALL" retorted Mr.. Spoop"
endyke, ripping away at the hole in
his sleeve to see if the stitches were
strong either side of tho rent. cit was
about making laws, that's what 1t was
about"
ssBut that's just the part I don't UNI
derstand," insisted Mrs. Spoopendyke.
ga law is something about being ar
rested, but can't get it through my
head how they make Them"
"You got the law part right" ru-
minated Mr.. Spoopendyke, ''and Pm
not sure but what you've hit it pretty
close on the density Of your head. I'll
tell you, my DEAR" he continued,
gravely; "you saw that place with the
rail around it and the man behind it !;
well, that is tho law machine. They
throw the legislature in at one end and
the law comes out Of the other. They
used to buy secondhand laws ard
pour them into new bottles, but ley
finally caught the combination and
now they make their own stock. But
you want to watch it closely. None
genuine without signature on the label;
stand in cool place; these laws are on
ly good for specific crimes; for &ny
other crime try our extra celebrated
extra session laws, for sale by all drug
gists. See into it now ? Begin to get
IA dim, dawning notion that legisla-
ture is not an aquarium: Think you
would know Il legislature from crick
in your back, if you saw them coming
down street arm-in-arm :''
urhat's different from what L sup
posed,' murmured Mrs. Spoopcndyic,
al thought a Legislature was where
they all got together and made VI
their minds whether the police did
right or not"
"Did you"' grinncd Mr.. Spoopcn
dyke, between his teeth.
"Anyway, Pm glad l came" sighed
Mrs. Spoopendyke, "because saw tho
governor" and she pattcd down tho
front of her dress and twisted herself
into a bow knot to see if her paniel
hung right for dinner.-R,oohIV'
