comment from the wits may be added
! thaia of Pat Punch, deputy United

than as his friend. The paper
which advocated the election Of
Butler for the purpose Of drawing

advocacy would be suspicious. The Sun

total up to the extraordinary figure of
400, 900 copies, an unprecedented result
in the history of magazines. Four hun
dred thousand copies-20O tons-nine
ty four million pages-enough to fill 200
wagons with 1000 pounds each-in a
single line, In close order, this would be a
dle Of wagons more than a mile and a
half long. This means not less than
1900, 600 readers, scattered through
out every town and village in
the United States. The course
Of the Cosmopolitan for the past twelve
months may be compared to that of a
rolling SNOWFALL; more subscribers mean
mol e mouey spent in buying the best
articles and best illustrations in the
world; better Illustrations and better
articles mean more subscribers, and so
the two things are acting and reacting
upon each other until it seems probable
that the day is not far distant when the
magazine publisher will be able to give
so excellent an article that It will claim
the attention Of every intelligent reader
