1t is said that dull times are not know
by the agents for the great publishing
house Of George Stnson s. Co., Portland,

cess is found in the fact that they always
give the public that which is keenly APP
prec tied AMI at prices that all can afford.
At present, we understand, their agents are
doing wonderfully we'll on several new lines.
They need many male agents 10 all parts OF
country. Those who need profitable work
should apply at once. Woa.en do as well
rs men. Experience is not necessary, for
Mes-rs Stnson Il 60. undertake to show
all who are willing to work, not hard bur
earnestly, the path to large success. II
SHOULD be remembered that an agent can
do a handsome business without being
ANY, from home over night. Another al.
vantage-it costs nothing to give the bus.
ness n trial, and an agent can devote all
his time, or only his spare moments to It,.
Stlnson & Co. guarantee grand success to all
who engage and follow simple and plain
directions that they give. We have not

The Organ Grinders Profits.

You sympathetic ladies who send nick
les and silver pieces by a servant to the
poor organ grinder who stands at your
door, who throw down to him from an
upper window pennies wrapped in thick
writing paper, may like to know how
much the man gets in the course of the
day and what he does with his money. For
the latter, he does not spend more than a
seventh part it. Heputs it in bag and
then in long, low chest in his room, to
save till he has enough to go back to
Southern Italy and live at ease. More
often he joins every night select club
of fellow-countrymeh, who stack up
their organs at the end of the room,
and, gamble gamble the pennies away
in long and delicious excitement How
much, think you, does he earn? More
than a carpenter, or a bricklayer, or a
policeman, or postman, or salesman
in store, who wears gloves and silk
hat. He averages 81 day He labors
Systematically and has his regular beat,
and his varied art to extract the penny
from persons of each class he plays be-
fore. As he expressed it himself in a
moment of rare expansiveness, he "plays
on 200 blocks every day, and it's -
poor block that does not give two cents,
