The windows of this office have Just
been cleaned for '97. The enterprising
board of managers, which is %ourself, had
almost concluded not to incur this ex-
pense for 1897, but the recent stiffening
of the price of silver caused the outward
seeming on an inward %lavishness, to the
extent of a whole bar of sapolio-as we
hadn't quite enough left over from last
year.

proved his proves, and demonstrated
his title to ~''Sandow's rival" by standing

superior strength was never before put
to such q remarkable test.
