The firm further says in its offer:
eve are so confident that you will
earnestly desire to own the volumes
that we are willing to send the Com
plete Set Free for your examination
and approval express charges pre-
paid. You can retain them on the
easy terms mentioned in the corner
coupon, or you may return them (also
at our expense). You take no risk"
The reply of the firm to the coupon,
order, contained among other matters,
the following:
1--WE very much regret that it is not
possible for US to send a complete set
to Honolulu with privilege of return.
Although our own experience with
these books has been particularly
good the expense of shipping to
Honolulu is heavy, and in case you
should not approve of the books and
send them back the cost would be a
little more than we care to incur. In
the United States proper we do not
hesitate to comply with our offer on
our coupon, but we trust you will I'M
derstand why we make a reservation
In your case.
The Honolulan made no reply to this
letter. A few weeks later an apollo
getic letter came from the firm saying
that having considered the matter,
they might now send the books. From
the tone of the letter it was apparent
that the firm found it had made a
blunder in shelving coupon orders from
the advertisement having fail
ed to state that Hawaii or any other
portion of the United States
proper was not included in the offer.
A few weeks before Christmas some
Of the magazines had an aIluring ad-
vertisement of a New England firm |

trinkets and upon the return |
Of the proceeds they would send an /

And all through the house,
Not creature was stirring,
Not even a mouse.
When mama awoke with a start and

And wondered why papa

A rumbling and roaring
Soon came to their ears
A noise that would follow them,
All through their years.
For down near the bath room
The water rushed out,
And it caused poor papa
And mama to shout.

My poor heart will break,
