THE
THE
new YORK WORLD
THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION.
Read Wherever the English Language
is spoken.

The ThrIce-a-W Week World was brilliant
success in the beginning and has been
steadily growing ever since. Time is the
test of all things, and has set its seal of ap-
proval on the Thrice-a-Week World, which
is widely circulated in every State and Ter
ritory of the Union, and wherever there are
people who can read our mother tongue.
This paper for the year 1908, will make
its news service, if possible, more exten-
sive than ever. All events of importance,
no matter where they happen, are reported
accurately and promptly.
The subscriber, for only one dollar year
gets three papers every week and more
news and general reading than most great
dailies can furnish at five or six times the
price.
The Thrice-a- Week World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias is
never allowed to affect its news columns,
and Democrat and Republican alike can
obtain in its pages truthful accounts of all
the great political campaigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice-a-
Week World furnishes the best serial fiction,
elaborate market reports and other features
of interest.
The Thrice-a-Week Worlds regular sub
scription price is only $1.00 per year and
this pays for 1856 papers. We offer this un-
equaled newspaper and The SMYRNA TIMES
together one year for $1.75. The regular
subscription price of the two papers is $500

The peanuts are threaded whole upor

hands, and the round single nuts for the
heads. A thick long peanut forms the body

slender nuts form the arms and legs
Now for the wigs. For the orientals, use
horsehair or the hair filling of a cushion
glue the locks In place. and then fasten on
the head covering New rope if combed
by coloring 1t you can have auburn or
brown tint. Fasten this wealth of hair
with a jaunty bow. Outline the features In
ink. The wigs of the wizard and the
yogi should be white; use cotton picked
out fluffy and glue in place so it will fall
long over the shoulders; and make flowing
boards.
Material for the dresses can be of tissue
or crepe paper in gay colors or bits from
the 'scrap-bag." The garb of the Chinaman
will be silk; cut the two garments from
paper patterns; the shoulders naturally are
very narrow.
Gilt paper will be very useful to help
decorate the gypsy and yogi dresses.
1t is only half of the fun to make and
be made to act on a miniature stage, like
little puppets.

and rushed upstairs to his room, burying
his head in his books and studying furi-
ously. The following day the teacher
wondered what was the matter with
Gregory; he appeared to be trying to do
his best, but made a failure of It,
At intermission Gregory tried to catch
Ada's eye, and surprised a furtive glance.
He gave her brilliant smile, which was
meant to assure her of his excellent
opinion of her. He hurried home that day,
impatient for night to come and wishing
there was some way to get rid Of the
work before him-all tomorrow's lessons
and four extras to make up He knew he
could not do more than half of 1T If he
went to the straw ride. Let the old les
sons go. Harvey and 10 never worried
about lessons: they got on we'll enough;
the boys and girls seemed to think just
as much of them, and they were favorites
with the teachers for they were full of
fun, and never bad-mannered.

| But Gregory had no suspicion of this. Lucy

Lucy, running away before he had time to
say more.
A great weight seemed lifted off of Greg
DRY. He went his way with a buoyant
step; 1t was settled that he must go to the
sleighing frolic. 1t would be easy enough
now to fix 1t all right with Ada. He began
planning what he would say to convince
her he did not make the rude speech. But
he did not feel just right about 1t, and he
wondered why something was always COM
ing up to make trouble, and he wondered
who it was that reported his words. If he
discovered the tattler he should suffer for It.
Gregory saw his mother at the window

Fun With a Comb.

Every boy and girl using a comb to
smooth out their tangled locks on a cold

electricity that crackles as the comb passes
through the hair. This property of the
comb can be used in an interesting little ex-
pertinent. Cut out a lot Of little paper fig

effort to follow the comb hold the comb
over the figures The little puppets imme-

They commence to jump and dance, or
stick to each other and the comb, as if fas-
tened with glue. Often a little figure will
stand on its head; another, fixing himself
by one hand. holds his tiny form upright
In a comical fashion: sometimes they will
form themselves into long strings and go
through all manner of seemingly Intelligent
