THRICE.A-WEEK EDITION.

The striking and important events
Of the last year have established the
overwhelming value OF THE THRICE-A.
WEEK WoRLD TO every reader. For an
almost nominal sum 1t has kept its sub
scri bers informed of the progress Of al
our wars and, moreover, has reported
them rs promptly and fully as II 1t were
adaily. With our interests still extend
ing throughout the world, wit h our
troops operating in the Philippines and
the great Presidential campaign, too, at
hand, it's value is further increased.
The motto Of The THRIcE-A-W WEEK
WORLD is improvement II strives each
year TO be better than IL was the year
before, and public confidence In II is
shown by the fact that II now circulates
more than twice as many papers every
week as any other newspaper not a

We offer this 1.nequaled newspaper
and THE WEEKLY LEADER together one

That the body of John Ruslrin, the
great English critic. does not rest In
Westminster Abbey Is not the fault Of
the Westminster committee. They had
gone so far as TO choose a spot at
Westminster for the new grave, when
they received from Ruskin's relatives
a letter OF thanks, declining the honor,
as inconsistent with Mr.. Ruskin's will.
Some years before his death Ruskin
had the following codicil added to his
Will: ''Tf die at Herne Hill l wish to
rest beside my parents in Shirley ceme-
terry; II die at Brentwood / prefer to
be buried at Coniston, but II should
by chance be killed during my Alpine
excursions. l deslre my body to be left
where It may be found. and ask no
