Answer friends alone in kind.

Sheds its wealth of gathering light,
Thrills the gradual clouds with might,
Changes woodland, orchard, heath,

Now they glow
Deep as even your sunbright eyes
Fair as even the Weakening skies.
Can it not or can it be
Now that you give thanks to seer
May not you rejoice as I,
Seeing the sky
Change to heaven revealed and bid
Earth reveal the heaven it hid
All night long from stars and moon,

The first number in this magnificent
series will be issued Thursday, February
18TH, and the PRESS will be ready to de-
liver them at that time. 1t urges its read
ers to begin at the very first mum Der. For
the first few numb ers we shall be able to
furnish back mum bers to those beginning
late, but the true way is to begin at the
series.
The PRESS is the only paper in Port
land which will have the handling of
these works.
Each portfolio will comprise sixteen
whole page pictures with handsome
heavy covers, each picture accompanied
by full description, SO that when conf
pieted the twenty parts will include 800
OF the most beautiful pictures in the
world of art.
In order to secure the portfolio cut out
two PRESS coupons, which will be
printed on the second page, of different
dates and bring them with ten cents to
the PRESS office. For number one we
shall require only one coupon.
We believe this is the most attractive
offer ever made to the public, because
the works are not only interesting but
instructive and enlightenlng and have a
permanent value. 1t puts at a nominal
expense the privilege of studying the
greatest art productions and gives the
children as we'll as adults an opportunl-
ty to be in touch with the great paint

every home should have it's Picture

$50, 600. Not often may it contain the
expensive art books costing from $50
