Iiustlng to Win t---Thats All.

New subscriptions, only, count
toward the diamond trophy-al are
hustling at furious rate to secure
the new subscriptions that will suffice
to land this special prize.
Did you ever look at a genuine
diamond?
You can see the colors yelling up
from the clear depths of the stone,
like bubbles from the bottom of
some fresh water spring.
First, the stone looks like a pool
of sunshine, perhaps. Then brave,
green rays waver for a moment and
give place to a shimmering blue.
The diamond goes white again. and
seems to be gathering strength for
the next great burst of color. Then
comes rush of crimson from the
depths, and brave red lights burst
like rockets from the edges of the
setting. Is it any wonder that the
diamond is the most precious stone
in the world? What woman can be
expected to resist the fascination of
its volatile gorgeousness?
This is the kind Of a special prize
which The Gazette will give away,
two weeks from last Monday, to the
candidate procuring the greatest
number of new subscriptions, in that
interval.
The lovely diamond is now on ex-
hibition at Asleson's jewelry store.
All are invited to go there and ex-
anime it.
