come TO my church."

man in return should go to church. Now,
unfortunately, the man was very deaf, and

Reasons Why The Call" Is Able

One of THE CALL carriers few days
ago had occasion to call upon a subscriber
who had bought one of the original copies
of Picturesque California" for $50. He
asked the carrier to bring him one of THE
CALLS premiums which sold for ten cents.
He compared it with his own copy and
finding the works to be Identical declared
that he did not believe THE CALL was so
foolish as to fulfill its promise of the COM
Dlete set. II think the price [ paid" said
he. SIS reasonable enough. and 1 can not
comprehend that you are selling the same
thing | paid $50 for at one-tenth of that
sum. There must be some mistake about
It. Your losses will be too large"
The work will be delivered as announced
in thirty parts. and each one up to the high
standard of the three parts which are now
In subscribers hands. There will be no
failure on the side of The CALL TO make
good it's promises.
The difference between the receipts from
sales and the cost is made up by increased
subscriptions, hence larger income. THE
CALL is not looking for new subscribers
for one week or one month, but those who
will take it permanently. Once intro
duced into families who care for moral
cleanliness and reliable news, it remains a
welcome visitor. Picturesque California"
is utilized as an advertisement, just as
merchants use THE CALL-to increase

that wide doorway shall be cut into the l. all

The rear portion of his large room nav be

ladies' readiDg-room. The walls of this whole
room would be fitted with cases that would
easily hold all the fictloD biography, traveIan
history, Or three-louTths of the books in de-

This would Obviste the necessity of an ele.
vator. There would be a stairway on the

be used for storeroom and workroom.
