Alliance readers have frequently seer
advertisements that offer to make and
send free erayon portrait, their object
being to get one in eaAh town in the
country and thereby advertise their
work more thoroughly, You see the
advertisement, send your picture, and
in few days receive notice from the
firm that they cannot ship the portrait
safely unless it is put in a frame, and
With the notice are some designs and
prices Of frames. They eonfidentially
l7form you that these prices are just
exactly what it cost TO have the frames
manufactured and upon receipt of your
choice and the price of the frame, for
which, however. they charge you
nothing. The whole thing is y snare
and is being worked for all there is in
it by The Tanqusry Portrait Society,
Brooklyn, N. Y, which, we are inform.
ed by Valley City lady, will not even
return her photo, although she sent a

the state should post their patrons on

nothing to DO with these alleged free

The Pl.ail.ieS of the Wes

The Pl'nl1'teS OF the West.
Give me the beautiful prairies, the
prairies of the west.
The place in al creation the loyliest
and the best;
The beautiful corn fields waving, beck.
oning on in its mirthful glee,
Oh where on the face of Gods acre, Il
lovelier place can be.
Where nature in all it's beauty. in all
its splendor turns.
Though the wind at times lie binding,
and the sun without mercy burns;
But give me the beautiful prairies, the
fields of grain IN their best,
And withal the beautiful prairies. the
prairies of the west.
A more beautiful sight at evening, when
the yellow sun has set,
And the sight at early morning, when
the flowers with dew are wet;
But of the pictures in nature, this one
to mes the best,
The prniries, the beautiful prairies, the
prares of tho west.
This beautiful picture III nature, as the
evening of death draws near,
Will bring to mind tho memories, the
memories to all 20 dear;
But of all the pictures in nature, this
one to mes the best,
The prairies, the beautiful prairies, the
prairies of the west.
And thus on the boundless prairies, our
lives forever are tossed,
Aud ut last are lost in the tempest-in
the tempest of death are lost;
And thus on the wide, wide prairies
the place of all the best,
We sink like the autumn flowers on the
prairies of the west.
