REPRESENTS THE PEOPLE.

No question of national Importance
and all political and economic questions
of moment are national ones-begins in
congress. They are canvassed and discuss
ed by the people and press, and when they
reach congress that body has merely the
details to consider. THE CHICAGO
WEEKLY TINES has become the recog-
nized leader of the great plain people--the
bone and siuew of the commonwealth and
the hope of the American republic. Its
editorials are broad, national, eloquent,
convincing, and tiignifed, and as compre-
hensiye in the subjects treated as are the
question OF human interest.
THE CHICAGO WEEKLY TIMES
represents all The movements of the day,
and upon its Endorsement hinges, in a
large degree, their future, for il is broad in
its views, liberia! in its judgments, and has
the best possible means OF forming cor
rect one. and knowing its duty to man, the
country, progress, and future greatness, is
lifted above bigotry and narrow minded
ness, dares perform it. To it all subscribers
should turn for enlightenment, sympathy,
assistance, and the herve to carry out their
undertakings.
In its ranks are to be found the brightest
minds in every line. Week by week it talks
to every subscriber of what Is going on,
brushes away the dust from the past and
starlights the coming. It forecasts the
future and forewarms against disaster. 1t
is a matchless scrap book Of knowledge for
the farmer mechanic, lawyer, doctor, and
all good citizens,
Without the requirements of wading
through pages of irrelevant matter THE
CHICAGO WEEKLY TINES gives to its
leaders the sifted grains of thought, history
science, and all a glance; makes every reader
cosmopolite, and brings the entire wealth
of the world to his very door.
It gives more for the money than any
other weekly paper in America. 1t is bright,
entertaining, and yaluable-good for the
whole family.
1t is bureau of information for it's sub
scribers, answering anything desired.
its agricultural department contains the
best from all sources.
1t sake every intelligent man and woman
to become subscriber, because it stands

One day the clothing which she had
sent TO the laundry. ana which was
never very satisfactorily done, was re-
turned in a worse condition than usual.
She was constantly hearing complaints
among her pupils in regard TO work of
this kind, and suddenly it dawned upon
her that here was u field white for the

it and see what she could gather. She
began ut first il q small way with the
