hounds was imported and day set

away from the swift importatians.

Why?
FIRST-THE PRICE. 1t costs

cents a number, for over thirteen hun
dred two-column pages CT reading

to twenty or twenty-five books costing

SECOND-QUALITY. The read
ing matter is written by America
leading writers-the best short story
writers, the best writers on timely ar
tlcles, the best writers OF important
serials, such as Schurz's "Reminiscences
or Bakers Railroad articles.
THIRD-TIMELINESS. The read
ing matter in McClure's is not only
good it is not only entertaining, In
structlve, amusing and inspirlng-lt is
also about the subjects which you aid
ali Americans are most interested at

JUST FOR ONE DAY.
(Charlotte News

Occasionally when we are brought
face to face with statistics about the
rapidly changing events OF the day we
are made to partially realize what
really fast age we live in. In fact 1t Is
80 rapid that this realization is only
experienced seldom but when it is we
are appalled, and made to start at the
sheer facts.
A person today lives just about ten
times faster and more strenuously than
did bis ancestors OF a half or even q
quarter century ago. New York has
been termed the Paris of America and
possibly Justly 80. 1t would probably
be safe TO say that life in that city is
Just about as rapid as anywhere else In
this continent, if not more 80. We
give below few statistics on the hap
penings In that city as they occur day
by day in succession. From these facts
we can family realize what fast age
we are indeed living in. They are as
follows:
In New York-Every forty seconds
an emlgrant arrives.
Every three minutes some one is
arrested.
Every six minutes child is born.
Every seven minutes there is a
funeral.
Every thirteen minutes a pair get
married.
Every forty-two minutes new bus
iness firm starts up.
Every forty-elght minutes build
ing catches on fire.
Every torty-eight minutes a ship
leaves the harbor.
Every fiity-one minutes a new
building is erected.
Every fifty-two seconds a passenger
train arrives from some point outside
the city limits.
Every one and three-quarter hours
some one is killed by accident.
Every seven hours some one fails in
business.
Every eight hours an attempt to kill
some one ia made.
Every eight and one-half hours some
one is divorced.
Every ten hours some one commits
suicide.
Every two days some one is muir.
