a Standard Among Newspapers,

Rejecting in Its widening citcula-,
tion and increased advertising patron
age the prosperity that marks the
opening of the new year The Pittsburg
Times more than ever impresses upon
its.readers the excellence of.its high
standard and the success Of its efforts
to make model paper for the indi-
vidual and for the family. The Times
is newspaper, sparing no pains nor
expense to cover the world thoroughly
every day, that its current page of
history may be complete and in its
longer range overlooking nothing that
occurs at home. 1t Is clean, dignified
and reliable, certain that no lack of
these features can be offensive SEN
sationalism. 1t can be taken into
the family circle with confidence that
its columns are filed with wholesome
instruction and entertainment. Wher-
ever known The Times isrecognized as
the best type OF q concise, crisp and.
complete newspaper, and among news
paper men 1t is the publication with
which comparisons Of excellence are
made. While The Times Is Republi-
can In politics it realizes that others
have a right to be ON earth and that
politics are not everything. When
one cent a day will buy a morning pa
per 1t is foolish to be without one.
The Times is three dollars year or
six cents a week, and worththe money.

of a well-known Wesleyan minister TO

Mr.. Kilping adds:

in the Free State is practically over.
All the prisoners in the hands of the
British here agree that the quarrel be-
tween the Free Staters and the Trans

think that if they are defeated at the
Vaal river the Beers will retreat to
Pretoria, but there appears to be
growing distrust in the Transvaal gov

the Boer resistance seems TO have been
broken.

can have only one end. Several have
exclaimed:
