Only published by HIS publishers he meant
But If he had spoken the truth about the matter
he would have told you that the first volume OF
the latest edition Of the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA was issued fifteen years ago, and that the
greater part OF it was compiled at that date.
So you see they didn't get General Grant in it
after all
That depends On the kind of book you want
Let me ask you question or two. You live
here III the United States, don't you?
Yes, I thought SO. Now tell me, about which
do you want the most detailed information an
American city or an English town? An Amer
lean Statesman or an English statesman?
Just SO. But, you see, the Encyclopaedia
Brita1nica wasn't compiled for the use Of men
like you. 1t was put together to be used by
Engllshmen IN England. And, you see, they
want the exact opposite Of what you do, andthe
Encyclopedia Britannica, very properly, gives
it to them. 1t fills pages with the account of
some insignificant English borough or county
that you may never want to know anything
about whatever, aud gives q half dozen lines to
some State or city here that you want the fullest
particulars OF, but about which an Englshman
cares just nothing ct all.
Right as trivet, whatever that may bel
never saw one that know of. But you're jusS
exactly right, all the same. It's the AMERI.
CANNED Encyclopedia Britannica that We
propose to put in every home in the West. The
long-winded articles on petty British subjects
have been cut down to the same length that
would have been given them had they been
French or German subjects, and the articles ON
matters OF American interest have been all re-
written and treated just as exhaustiyely as they
would have been in the original work had theYs
been specially interesting to Englishmen.
Well, rather. One OF the best and most COM
plete ever written. And there are four thou.
sand new biographies besides. In fact, the
work contains the life of every distinguished
man or woman, American or foreign, now living,
or who has died since the Encyclopedia Bril-
tannica was compiled.
Oh, yes, q few. The entire work has been re-.
vised down to the present year for one thing.
Then an entirely new set OF maps has been
added, including separate map for each State
| in the Union.

SOME OF the newspapers are deyoting q
good deal Of attention to the circumstance
that in political meeting in Denver the
other evening Senator'S TELLER and VOL
COLT denounced President HARRISON.
There is nothing startling in the incident
unless it was that both Senators INDUCED
in the Remuneration the same evening.
They have done the same thing singly on q
good many occasions, and they have always
seemed to enjoy the pastime quite as much
as their hearers. A true western man,

SENATOR WAsHBuRN will have to be
labored with by the stalwart branch of the
Republican family. He says: BLAINE
can have the nomination if he is alive" If
the Senator does not know that it is trsa-
son to intimate that BLAINE is sick, ever
has been sick or is likely to be SICK it is
time he learned the fact and put himself in
harmony with the other BLAINIACs. No
man can be in good standing IN the Repub-
lican party who doesn't say unquali1edly
that BLAINE can have the nomination.

ANSWERS.

1t is very simple matter. We have arranged
with the Publishers of the ArnericaniZed Ency-
clopeedia Britannica to take large quantity OF
this work OF their hands, thus securing remark
ably low price as well as singularly easy terms.
We propose TO give the whole advantage OF this
transaction to our subscribers, and offer to de-
liver the entire set of the Americanized Encyelo-
ptedla Britannica on payment of 5000 and your
signing contract to pay $3.50 month for 10
months, $50 in all. This offer is made only in
connection with years subscription to this
. paper at regular subscription rates.
Just so. But you see, in these days Of steam
aud electricity, and labOr-savin9 machinery a
great deal can be done for eight cents day, es.
pecially when twenty or thirty thousand people
club their money and each puts his eight cents
into common stock.
You can be thankful that you didn't accept
MS offer. Ii you'd done SO and seen the Ameri-
canized edition afterward you would have felt
like kicking yourself. Isuppose your Canvass
ing friend told you that the Encyclopedias Bri-
tannica was simply the most complete work OF
Its kind ever published?
So it is; ne was right enough so far. It's
monumental work and cost more than million
dollars to get up. But there are spots on the
sun, you know, and there are defects even Ia the
Encyclopedia Britannica. Did he mention to
you that you might look for Ulysses s. Grant
, Ii it and not find word about him?
Of course he was, or pretty nearly SO. But
the Encyclopedia Britannica doesn't mention
him for all that. And it doesn't say word
about Sherman either, nor about Sheridan, nor
Hancock, nor Blaine, nor Cleveland, nor Harri-
son, nor Harriet Beecher Stowe, nor Julia Ward
Howe, nor Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, nor Charles
Stewart Parnells nor Bismarck, nor JEFF Davis,
. nor

an Encyclopedia that will not tell
meenythins about the great men
Of the world until after they are
dead. Why, it's just exactly while
they are alive that want to know
about them most. But see here.
Mhatyou say doesn't hold together.
