Write and send the article, and when realire the ten dollars I will remit

 P. S-Frank James is still living.
 am always glad to send my goods anywhere by express, subject to examina- ton and approval, and more especially to Missouri, the home of the great states man and author, Frank James. l am now writing short scientific articles for the press, which feel % confident will give perfect satisfaction that am send- ing them everywhere, with permission to set them up along side of any other work of the kind on trial. Should any of these articles rip, season-crack or cut in the eye, shall make no charge whatever for them. l want it thoroughly understood that it is absolutely no trouble to show goods
 l am glad to know also that when at last Mir. Frank James, full of years and of usefulness, shall close his eyes and fold his weary hands upon earth, and when the clods of the valley shall rest abave his silent dust, there will be some one to r,se up and take his place. A young man twenty-one yeays of age, full of fresh young blood and Missouri gall, will be ready to complete the work which General James has SO nobly begun.
 l am free to say to you, R. S. G., that 1t had been minated to me that when the James boys died there was no one in the whole broad commonwealth of Mis- souri to take their places and assist in distributing railroad dividends; but you and know better-do we not, R. s. C.? You bet! No one recognizes sterling ability in young man quicker than l do, and when l discover it, am not backward about mentioning it. That is why take this pubsic method of prophe- cying that if your life is spared and you improve the advantages held ont toward you, there is no reason in the world why you should not become one of the most eminent train-robbers that our history has ever known- Begin mc1estiy at 6rst by robbing a few crippled newspaper men. Then you can gradually lead up to picking the pockets of the blind. Afeer that you might gather gold filling out of the cemetery peoples teeth. it wouldn't be long before you could get drunk and rob a clothes line. By all means keep your gall in a cool place, R. s. G., and you will come out o K. Your success depends almost solely oa that If l had that gall of yours would have it stuffed. l don't know when l have mo- ticed such an abnormal and precocious gall in one 90 young. It must pain you severely at times and crowd the othea organs Take care of it, however, and you are safe. Your whole future depends upon it. Keep it in a cool place, and whenever you want . fe~ columns of matter to be sent subject to approval and printed in your valuable paper, the name Of which has at this moment escaped my mind, just dropa postal card ssating how much you can usa and how you de sire to have 1t shipped.
