Then / shall be most happy 10 give
you dollar for it," said he, in response
to Mrs. Gardeners statement
Il don't want to sell the paper" Mrs
Gardner replied.
The dollar man entered into an expIa-
nation. He tried to persuade Mrs Gard
ner to sell, at an advance of 200 per cent,
her copy of The Sunday Herald She was
3d2mant- Perhaps Mrs. Gardner feared
she would be unable 10 get another copy
of the paper, in which event she was, of
course, perfectly right in refusing to sell.
And in any event the. dollar man could not
quarrel with her for doing as she pleased
with her own. Mrs. Gardner'S husband is

Before the story of the rest of yester-
To- tell of a letter received from one of
The Herald's friends yesterday. The wri-
ter gives the name and address of an
aged couple and goes on:
Plea for Poor Man.
They are very poor For q long time
their only luxury has been The Sunday
Herald The dollar man should be a
welcome visitor to these poor people
Under the rules of the distribution resi-
denceS must be selected at random and
under no circumstances would it be right
to go out to q given address and paw over
one of the dollars. Ii is pleasant to an
nounce, however, that something better
VIII be done for the oil people. Begin
ming next Sunday they are to receive The
Sunday Herald for whole year free of
charge.
A J. Pendleton of 556 South Fifth East
street must have made = lucky horseshoe
Saturday. He must have driven in the
additionally lucky number of nails and
cooled his work in a lucky tub of water
In no other way is it possible to account
for the fact that among the first resi-
dences TO be visited and made happy by
The Herald's dollar man yesterday was
the residence of Mr.. Pendleton-
Mrs Pendleton was at home when the
man with the Jinglfng coins arrived. She
was happy to say she had a copy of The
Sunday Herald of March 4. aid she pro-
duced il, "undiminished in quantity AMI
unimpaired in quality as the power right
PEOPLE say when they try to appropriate
water. The paper was turEed over to the
dollar man, the dollar vas turned over
TO Mrs. Pendleton. and so a pleasant
transaction was brought to a satisfactory
conclusion.
Dollar for Walker.
The dollar man brought down a whole
covey at one shot when he struck the res
idence of Charles A Walker. 654 South

boys They were interested from the
first in The Herald's distribution of dol
lars and they had been looking forward
to their lucky day. Mrs Walker said yes
terday that she would divide the money
evenly among the youngsters. p cents
to each. If the four Walker boys don't
load up on marbles and other things dear
to the boyish heart at this season 1t will
undoubtedly be because they are forcibly
restrained.
