Miss Evelyn and Louise Dobson two
handsome young women of Brooklyn,
living at 135 Remsen street, not only
made a burglar give up his booty, but
backed up by a sham pistol they forced
the trembling wretch to surrender 60
cents of his own money.

STARTING A PAPER.

Or to elevate mankind,
Just to make the world take notice
And to keep the nation straight?

For the exercise is great.

Threatening almost to bite.
You should jump into the harness
And proceed at once TO write
Possibly the world is waiting.
Losing sleep from day to day
And on tiptoe leaning forward
Just to hear what you Will say.
There are causes great ana noble.
Some perhaps quite near your heart.
That are crying for the paper
That lis up to you to start:
Just before you there is waiting
Maybe riches, surely fame;
Hire a printer and get busy;
That's the way to work the game.
Easier than raising chickens.
IF You will the rules observe:
Any one can do the business
Z he only has the nerve.
Why delay? You know, dear reader,
In your secret soul, i trow,
You could do it so much better
Than the men who do it now.

Discovery is a most potent Alternative
or blood-purifier, and tonic or invigor-
ator and acts especially favorably in a
curative and healing way upon all the
mucous lining surfaces as of the nasal
passages, throat, bronchial tubes, storn-
ach, bowels and bladder, curing large
per cent. of catarrhal cases whether the
disease affects the nasal passages, the
throat, larynx, bronchia, stomach fas
catarrhal dyspepsia), bowels (as mucous
diarrhea), bladder, uterus or other
pelvic organs. Even in the chronic OF
Lucrative stages of these affections, il
is often successful in effecting cures.
The Favorite Prescription is advised
for the cure of one class of diseases only
those peculiar weaknesses, derange-
ments and irregularities incident to
women. 1t is powerful yet gem
tly acting invigorating tonic and
strengthening neryine. For weak worm
