LORD BOOMS WHISKY
SHOLTO DOUGLAS SELLING LIQUOR
NOW ON THE ENDLESS
CHAIN PLAN
FINDS PROFIT IN THE SCHEME
Possibilities of the System Are Daz-
cling if the Explanations of
the Expatriatcd NObIeman
Are Given Weight.

SPOKANE, March 21.-Lord Sholto
Douglas is selling whisky on the endless
chain plan at his wet goods emporium,
on lower Howard steet. His lordship
has evolved a plan to boom the liquor
market which beats ANYTHING that ever
came down the pike
His lordship works on the coupon style.
Lower Howard streets denizens are work
ed up about it, Visions of free liquor
are hoating through the minds Of the
lower deniZens, and it is believed that
visions of fat bank account cluster
round Lord Sholto's pillow when he
goes to bed at night.
The possibilities of the system are
dazzling. If his lordship only issues ten
complete series of shares he will have
sold certificates to over 60000O0 people
each of whom will have paid him 90
cents, or a total of $36 100000. There is
no limit to the money that can be made
The business increases more rapidly than
bunch of Belgian hares.
Lord Sholto has issued coupon sheet
that looks like a certificate Of stock in
bonanza mine. 1t appears formidable,
but the thirsty though impecunlous bac-
chanal, whose powers of thought con-
centration are sufficient to figure out the
process, knows that with one of thNe
sheets in his possession he can get So. 60
worth of fOrtyrod for 10 cents.
Lord ShoIto's Instructions.
The scion of a noble British house has
issued prospectus of his endless chain
scheme that best explains itself. The
prospectus is headed:
How to obtain $3.50 for 10c on our CO
operative plan. No scheme No fake"
Then follows a list of instructions.
Here they are:
Il. Buy one of our coupons for 10
cents. Bring this coupon, or send same.
to Enterprise saloon, Howard street, to-
gether with 60 cents, for which we give
you one of our certificates with six
coupons attached, each worth 10 cents.
'2. Sell these coupons to six of your
friends for 10 cents apiece thereby REIN
bursting yourself 60 cents.
20. See that each and every person you
sell coupon to brings this coupon to
the Enterprise saloon together with 60
cents, to obtain a certificate as you did
before him.
Follow instructions above and YOU
will get for 10 cents and slight amount
of talking and explanation $3.50 worth Of
goods for 10 cents
It's Great Scheme.
Lord Sholto's instructions are pretty
plain, but in case his philanthropic effort
10 circulate cOfnJulce through the COM
munity may not be fully understood, it
may be explained that his lordship rakes
in $3.50 in cash provided the purchaser
sells all his six coupons and the coupon
purchasers each purchase a sheet on
their account.
His lordships profit comes out Of lapses
and the whisky he sells. If only five OF
your purchasers respond to the call OF
time and one fails to buy a 60-cent GER
tifcate. you get nothing but the pleas
ure of seeing some more fortunate boos-
ter for Lord Sholtos trade enjoy free
ambrosia.
How 1t Works.
This is the way his lordships tells how
the scheme works:
"A friend to whom you explain our
plan buys say No. 1 coupon from you
for 10 cents. He must have a coupon be-
fore he can obtain a certificate. He
brings your coupon to us and pays US
so cents for a certificate. Your five other
friends do likewise Observe then that
you have collected for US six amounts OF
so cents, which makes 49, That money
does not belong to us, but to you. The
money will lie in our bank to your credit
until all the six 60 cents come in with
your coupons. AS soon as that is ac-
complished we will give you checks which
represent 50 go, and you can buy when
you like the goods we are selling here
every day. Before you get your checks,
amounting to $50, which you exchange
for goods when YOU need same, you
