tan violento como inesperado,
10 Cual prueba una vez mas su

otro que el adelantarse salts

repentina de conceder al pals un

otro modo, aparentemente a 10
menos. que como manifestation
de tenor ante una situacion di-
ticil, llevandolO su astucia a su-

Tom" said Marian one day,
though not indeed for the first

for the world? Your real estate

half occupied, and you could do
heaps Of good with all the leisure
YOU have. Why don't you right
some existing wrong or eradicate
some crying evil" "
That ism t in my line, said Tom
easily. I'd rather sit here and
look at you. Do you know, that
rose behind your ear is precisely the
color of your lips"
That's why I'm wearing it, y
replied Marian unblushingly.

The Springfield Mass board Of trade
Offers prize Of $500 to the person who will
suggest the best means of advertising shat
city TO the world and booming it. We
want to say here that the main thing which
makes Springfield known to the world now
is she Springfield Republicdna newspaper
whlch while published in a provincial city
and having a small circulation is more
widely quoted than any other paper in this
country and one which on account of its
scrapuIously high standards and stern
sincerity, is everywhere respected and re-
ferred 50. There is nothing that will better
advertise place than good newspaper
but newspapers which "boost" their home
